Hi Ed001. Thanks for the review and I must say I agree with your assessment on that match. As soon as Trent came on and went in the middle (inverted) I was worried that would not work. I am amazed we have reverted to the slow way of playing - that didn't really work earlier in the season anyway! It does look like we need a "refresh" which is obviously coming anyway. I think this season really will end with a whimper if we continue to play like this. I would much rather go for it and if that means the odd loss then so be it . this ponderous play is awful and doesn't suit us at all. I actually think if we play "rock and roll" footy then we have a cjance on Thursday (providing the finishing improves) as we definitely have the ability to create chances against them. The last few weeks feels almost like self sabotage!
{Ed001's Note - it is still going to be sad to say goodbye to Klopp.}

Let's be clear, Herr Klopp knows more about football than any of us. His acumen has brought us success and much joy.
Re. the game. I thought the second half performance was good. Ponderous, really?
Perhaps the tactics would been more effective if returning players were not dusting off the rust and had more rhythm. Szob needs to play. Play himself into form!
Please Trent ease yourself into the game before spraying the Hollywood balls.

Playing Trent as an inverted fullback when we dominate teams really stifles us. Get him wide and get players in the box for his early delivery.

Ed01 regardless what the ups and downs and all that, I will be forever grateful to this man who could have gone to any other club in a much better position to win trophies BUT came to us at our absolute worst. He built us up from the ground up and despite all the head winds and initial trophy losses, he stayed the course and taught me how to stay the course as well despite all the obstacles and disappointments.
From there, he built my club from the depths of midtable mediocrity, into the best team in the world and "Champions Of Everywhere". Won a bag of trophies that few expected him to win when he was struggling at first. Klopp gave me some of the absolute best memories as an LFC fan that I will take with me to my grave. Not arsed about what other people who are NOT LFC fans think about him.
Don't care what he did not win cos in the end, Klopp gave my club back its dignity and now, I hold my head high knowing that it was all worth it sticking by him, come hell or high water. All Hail Herr Klopp!
