Haha reminded me of the young chook fan on the matty johns show last year, blew up and swore at the ref or something and his mum gave it to him mid spray.

Really liking how confident we look at the moment. Very assured in attack.

f**king Skrtel, useless merkin saved by Migs. We surely have to sell his useless ass in the summer

And we throw it away with some shocking defending. The defence just turns to shit and panicks the moment Skrtel takes the field. Wanyama has come on and scared the composure out of the midfield. All we had to do was play it nice and calm even at 1-0 down.

Truly a tale of 2 halves. No one to blame but ourselves

This team finally grew a spine over the last few games...and then spineless, bumbling merkins like Skrtel and Benteke have come back into the team.

I put this loss down to Skrtel and Benteke. They can both f**k off. I've finally had enough of Benteke. He gets chances and he repeatedly makes a mockery of them. Skrtel is arguably the dumbest defender in the EPL; was sent off in an U21s game for f**k's sake. Completely lacks a spine.

No way on the world you can blame Benteke for any of that. Origi missed an easier chance so why not blame him. Skrtel is basically at fault for all 3 goals so he can f**k right off.

I can, because he completely f**ked our impetus going forward, denying us a chance to at least get a goal or two back.

But of course I blame Skrtel much, much more. What a f**king dope that guy is.

This is f**king inexcusable. We can't blame tiredness because tiredness didn't prevent us from roasting them in the first half. We lost because we lost our backbone. Skrtel comes on and Sakho is unsurprisingly required to clean up all his bullshit.

And I wouldn't try the Flanno captain thing again for another long while. I was stoked for him, but he's not a leader. If we had a real leader, that wouldn't have happened.

I blame Klopp. Toure was on the bench.
Or put Hendo on and Can to CB.
But he put an underdone liability on.
This one falls on the manager.

I'm sorry but I can't blame Klopp like that. He can be excused for believing that an experienced 31 year old, who captains his country, can at least hold the fort from 2 goals for 45 minutes in a game that we were absolutely dominating. Skrtel is obviously flawed and already needed to go, but that performance was f**king unprecedented. Yes, Toure would have been a better option, but that's just one of those convenient hindsights.

Klopp blamed Klopp. Im happy to put the boot in for this.
Klopp is brilliant, but substitutions with this team are letting him down sometimes.

That's just Klopp though. Sure he has a little blame to accept, but Skrtel needs to shoulder a lot more responsibility.

The substitution wasn't ideal, but it shouldn't have been bad enough to concede 2 goals in 45 minutes, let alone 3. As Klopp continues to learn more about the EPL he will make a few more rather unwise subs. If we were hanging onto a 1-0 lead in a tighter contest then I'd be more inclined to agree.

We needed to shore up the midfield earlier than we did. Wanyama and Mane came on and changed it all. I would've loved to see Hendo come on and sit deeper protecting the back 4 and letting Allen push forward where he has been much better for us this season.

Plenty of what ifs from that game but regardless of the changes, the 11 on the pitch after half time should've gotten the job done.

I'm still f**king filthy. Two Manchester teams bound to take points off eachother and we just throw it away.

Every time top 4 even becomes a remote chance we do this. I'd love is to get there but it's done now IMO. It's not just the scummy Manc teams we have to worry about but WHU as well.

Maybe Klopp getting the side Euro free next season will be beneficial to the growth of the team. Obviously money wise it'll suck but you can't deny Leicester this season and us in 13/14 benefitted from basically one game a week.

Yeah, Leicester have basically proven that anything is possible. They work extremely hard at the training ground.

I saw that little discussion you had with ed1 on that matter mate, was interesting to hear him say Leicesters warm up was more intense than most sides training sessions. That's where I think we will benefit next season, a full pre season under Klopps training regime will do us wonders.

The amount of games his season could be a blessing as well as the squad have gone through a massive amount of playtime while training a lot harder than under BR.
