Just wanted to add my 2 cents from yesterday.
Positives: mane played very well and linked up well with Salah a few times too. Bobby had a decent second half after an awful first.
Negatives: where to start?!
Moreno was his usual rash self. Dived in and got nowhere near it for their second goal. Hope he never plays again for us. He is so bad.
The team lacked any cohesion and looked like a bunch of strangers playing together. First game of the season though so understandable. Watford were just as bad.
Lovren got bullied all day.
Can and wiji shouldn't play together. For me they are too similar and cause a big lack of imagination in our midfield.
Set pieces. Same old story. Set up is completely wrong. Allowing opposing players free runs at our 6 yard line. No bravery from anyone. Fitmino and matip for the first goal and wijnaldum for the 3rd.
Substitutions! Gomez on for TAA was idiotic. Sure bring him on to add height from set plays. But take off moreno. Origi was gash. Milner didn't do much other than blunt our counter attack.
The fact that a lot of these negatives are avoidable by better coaching is the worrying thing. I love Klopp but I'm not blinded to his many mistakes. He must improve massively or he has no-one else to blame for our failings but himself.
Sorry for the rant!

I agree Moreno was useless but to be hoenst the midfield three were all as bad as each other, no tackling, no vision not the usual pressing. I know they're all capable of Jt so assuming it's just the one game. TAA substitute was a random one and instead of origi solanke should have been brought on ANYBODY who knows Liverpool FC know we can't rest on a 1 goal lead, as much as I think origi gets hard time solanke is always going to be the more likely to score. But it just seemed like we as a team weren't up for it, wayward passing pressing less effective it was farcical at times.
