Bit harsh the amount of Lovren abuse, yes he was poor but so was everybody and he wasn't even the worst offender by a long way.
I wonder what did go wrong though, was it a total lack of effort or planning for the game? A "it's only Watford, let's just show up and pick up the 3 points" type of attitude. Or have teams finally figured us out? We've had a run of a few poor games, I hope it's just a slump due to the break rather than being figured out.

I think it puts arsenals Invincible season into perspective as well though at just how incredible it was, I would say our team is better than that arsenal team so it just shows what a mad achievement that was for them.

Oh well you can't have it all, we would have all given our left and right arms just to win the league this year and we are going to, invincibility can be for next season 😉.

I don’t think our team can set up for draws like that great arsenal side. To emulate them we’d have had to possibly win every game till the end and no team ever has been good enough to come anywhere close to doing so. Athletico have figured us out for now, but Klopp will adapt.

In my opinion, they lacked the leadership that Henderson would have provided.

We got bullied, that's all.

Suspect the players won't let it happen again.

OP, I fully agree with you that the Lovs abuse is just pathetic cos eveyone bar Allison was dreadful and deserve the same abuse if we are being fair. As for us thinking just turning up at Watford and all would be fine, is an insult on these players and on Klopp. Why? very simple. You don't lose 2 out of your last 66 PL games, win the CL and will definitely win the PL in consecutive seasons, with such a wretched attitude and w/ o respecting your opponent and the game. That simply does not happen.

Our boys don't underrate their opponents and IMO, never have. The Watford game was a day that had been coming for the past couple of weeks. The perf. was dire BUT we had seen that movie before at Madrid, Norwich and vs WH. You know who else saw that? Watford. They prepared accordingly and battered us top to bottom. That is the reality, IMO. Our boys will fight back cos it's who they are and it is what they do. We are in a slump, performance-wise and we need to go back and get better.
