It was a very disappointing display last night, tactically outsmarted, Anfield sounding like a graveyard, and it seemed players were just not up for it. Hat's off to Atalanta though for taking full advantage of that - can only beat what's in front of you, and they certainly whooped our behinds. Credit to Gakpo who's had a bad patch, but seemed to be one of the only getting out of first gear.
But there's still another leg to go, and we have overturned far worse results. Liverpool have a knack of finding that extra bit of magic on European nights, in recent time Dortmund and of course Barcelona springs to mind. Let's go full throttle. A quick goal and who knows what might happen. It ain't over just yet!
If there is a silver lining to be found, this might have been the kick up the backside we need. A true earful like this has been coming for a while. Let's hope Jurgen and the players wake up for this last stretch of the season, and let's show them all that we're still in the run, we need a reaction from this!
On a side note, can we please hide away Gomez' shooting boots. What started as an encouraging thought and seemingly supporter's and Gomez' biggest wet dream, has now become a bit of a dead meme.

3-0 down but few willing to bet against us getting through.
We are Liverpool and that means a hell of a lot.

I’m going for a 4-1 win for Liver In the return leg and seal the deal in extra time.

Verdo - I would certainly bet against us going through. No chance (screenshot this and beat me over the head with it if we win next week :) .
This is not Barcelona at Anfield and that miraculous turnaround. The second leg is away, we're bang out of form, can't keep a clean sheet and need about 20 efforts on goal for every goal scored.
If we can hopefully muster something for the remainder of the season, it's going to be all in on the league now. Europa League has gone.

Does anyone else think that by not having the banners last night, subdued the crowd which in turn had an effect on the team.

We’ve gone from mentality monsters to tsimikas over hit cross has affected everyone’s mentality and performance in one night.
On the Anfield crowds criticism why didn’t those who are criticising create more atmosphere themselves.

Bit disappointed JK didn’t own the tactical blunders. He was completely outthought but sought to infer the issues laid everywhere else. Not a disaster and we’re not out of it, but sometimes be nice to hear when he owns some of the problems created.

Ashy no mate. Crowd were in good voice before the game and even up to about 10 mins in. I can take the lads losing but they really looked like they were in cruise control and that showed to the crowd.
We started the Jota song and numerous others but it was hard to stay enthused when the players looked far from it.
Only criticism of the crowd for me were the ones who left early but I suppose that’s their rights.

JK, tsimikas did more than that, for the second goal, I thought he was in the crowd protesting the 2% he left that much space.

Stuie he was awful mate. But Kelleher didn’t let it go under his body because of Tsimikas. And we were even worse 2nd half when he was off the pitch.
If the players were that awful because there was no flags then mentality monsters they are not.

I thought the Utd games were the kick up the backside for us, season might be over before these kicks up the backside take effect.

RR - sounds like the odds are against us. I like our chances.

Mcgoveb, we were still the better team for large portions of both the FA cup game and the one at old trafford and were sat with more of a feeling that we should've won both.
This one was just pure annihilation from top till bottom. I'm just hopeful we'll see a reaction to it.
