feck off Elanga, I have money on this!
Van Dijk has been absolute shite in every game this season.
7 league games in a row we've conceded first. Second best all over here.
Van Dijk as Sancho slotted the ball in.
If we keep this to 1-0 maybe we can change this but this is really poor. Look like a side at the end of its cycle.
That Liverpool midfield is poverty

The midfield three isn't working either. Too slow and United have put the mileage in to close everything off. We're coming into it now but not testing De Gea at all.The high line Klopp insists on is a mistake I feel. Sancho, Elanga and Rashford have more than enough pace to make him regret that decision. They already have as it happens.
Failing to sufficiently rejuvenate the squad despite our myriad injury-prone players will ultimately doom us this season, providing we do not bring anyone in before the window closes. This is a midfield that I would expect to see in the final minutes of a league cup tie against a championship side, not away to our greatest rivals in the PL.
Trent has also been even more defensively suspect than usual in recent weeks which isn't helping matters.

Milner has been infuriating, he's not nearly good enough anymore to start in a midfield, let alone one accompanied with Henderson and Elliott.
It's a wonder we're still in this thing after that first 20min or so, abysmal showing. Sloppy passing, no run ins behind or good attacking movement, and our midfield can barely play one useful pass forward. Utd more hungry, higher intensity, faster to every ball.
May be and we shall see in the 2nd half. This season the competition for top 4 is wide opened.United don't have much energy left now, pretty smooth sailing for Liverpool in the 2nd half.
Why is Fabinho on the bench?
It makes no sense that you haven’t bought a midfielder.
Was very bad the first two games; still strange considering the totally substandard cover we have for him.
Didn't you hear? Bellingham is the only midfielder in the world who would improve the Elliot-Henderson-Milner trio. As Dortmund aren't returning our calls right now, we have to wait it out til next summer.
That's what most of us have been saying all summer but it seems Klopp is too stubborn to buy anyone but his main / favorite target. I'm holding out some hope that it means we have a deal in place for Bellingham for next year or that we have strong indications that he wants to join us from himself and/or Dortmund, but also not holding my breath for that oneIt makes no sense that you haven’t bought a midfielder.
I know you’re waiting on him but like us with a striker, you need two.
