Liverpool Banter

The players should hang their heads in shame, with the exception of Diaz (who I can't believe we are talking about as a possible exit) and also Alisson who can't be blamed for anything last night.

Derby match, title run in, chance to go back joint top of the table. For some of them, possibly the last chance to win a (or another) league title. And they turn up like that.

I can't absolve Klopp of blame though. How on earth he and the coaching staff could look at recent matches and performances and conclude that Nunez, Salah, Jones and Szoboszlai should play last night is beyond me.

Salah, Nunez and Szoboszlai have been awful lately, actually anonymous in Szoboszlai and Salah's cases. We made some changes for the Fulham match and brought in Gakpo, Jota and Gravenberch and it was the best performance of late, with two of them scoring. Why on earth change it back? There was no reason or justification for Salah, Nunez or Szoboslai to come back in (I know Jota was injured) . Danns could not have done worse and would likely have scored one of those chances had it fallen to him.

Looks like the end of the road for Salah. Nunez I think can still have a role but he can't be the guy we have in front of goal when the big chances fall in the crucial matches. Szoboszlai is almost back to square one. I think he can still be a brilliant player for us but early season Gerrard comparisons seem a long way away. Similar contribution level to Keita of late. Needs to reset for next season.

Defo need a new striker in the summer. Nunez is not the answer. Never has, never will be. 0% composure in front of goal. He's not raw, he's 24 nearly 25 and approaching his peak years. Time to get rid.

Absolutely criminal the way the season has gone down the pan. How are we' still playing slow, ponderous football when it's never got us a result? Klopp and the backroom staff are to blame and it's such a shame.

And why exactly do you want to keep Diaz? And honestly don’t see where the money is going to come for 3 new forward players. Arne Slot is here for the exact reason why Amorim isn’t.

We all knew that Everton would come at us but the level of our performance tonight is absolutely shocking we ate getting out muscled all over the pitch. I don't believe that there is one Liverpool player who can say they are happy with their performance so far. It's this slow build up possession rubbish that p. es everyone off giving Everton all the time in the world to set up defensively and yet again our finishing is letting us down. If we continue to play this garbage we could be there for the next 20 yrs and wouldn't score absolutely terrible to watch season filtering out on a whimper unless attitudes and performances in this game start to improve vastly.

Just chuffing shoot already. Trying to walk it in to the net. Its just awful awful football. Poor team selection and a manager that desperately needs to go on a long holiday.

Everton have showed passion and determination. Liverpool have shown why half that team out there will not be starting the new managers first game. Nunez simply not good enough and I don't think ever will be, Salah is now past his premier league best and looks lost out there, Jones never good enough to start and is showing it. Sob looks half the player he was at the start of the year and looks like he wants to leave the club and just can't be chewed to play. Loosing to Everton is bad enough loosing like this is unforgivable.

I had hoped Arsenal would drop points but Chelsea had their bellies tickled, it doesn't matter though as Liverpool are simply awful. End of season can't come soon enough , just hope there's enough points in the bag to get top 4. As at this rate that will go . Weather it be Slot or someone else they have a hell of a job on their hands here, this group are bang average and are now showing it . Massive changes needed in the summer, playing personel, style of play and tactics all need a massive upheaval. See you next season everyone, this one is over, with the worst 6 weeks I think I've ever seen on the pitch for Liverpool as regards to what they could win to what they have. The energy drink cup should have been joined by at least 2 more trophies. Shocking ending to such a promising season. Thanks JK you have been amazing. Sorry you has to go out like this .

Well that's that then . the objective from the summer is complete - champions league
Almost a run in but the team imploded from within during the latter stages
Bad decision timing to call time from
The manager
But he's given the fans a fun time over the years

See u all in September for the next adventure.

I honestly don't know why the players are throwing their arms around we have been awful from start to finish tonight. Can't think of one Liverpool player who has had a decent game. I honestly don't believe we have the mentality to win the league, and we haven't for the last few seasons. One loss to United and it derails our entire season. We don't seem to have the ability to step up a level when we need to. Hopefully the next manager can change that.

Fair play to Everton, took their chances well and deserved the win. I would say hopefully City and Arsenal drop points but tbh we don't deserve the league with our recent performances.

Ali. trent konate vvd gomez.
Jones endo mac. Salah nunez gakpo.
I'd go with that 2nite. Robbo I think will need to step out considering we play again sat morning and he played quite a bit recently. I hope gakpo stays in has looked decent of late. Jota being out is a hammer blow.

Maybe I've missed something but why isn't Hansi Flick considered? Bayern played some incredible football under him and won the treble. Yes, it didn't work out with the german national team, but I guess managing a club is totaly different to a national team.
