Defense and midfield were ok, not appalling.

Up front we’re completely useless. Absolutely zero threat.

Liverpool bring on a kid and he scores.

This is why the summer recruitment for strikers was incompetent, what we have are probably the worse in the league...

Jota running about like he's already played 90 minutes this morning.

Yep

Then add in has samatta actually touched the ball? Or vassilev? 

But it's the lack of subs that killed us...

Yes, this shows we can perform. Has we played like this more often we’d have more points and that’s on Smith.

Why does the odd good performance prove we are under performing but the majority bad ones don't. 

Makes no sense.

Go on, tell me that 2nd goal wasnt due to Luiz Grealish and McGinn having nothing left in the tank?

Absolute incompetent game management.

Are you saying replace those players? Who with?

Don't you know. Fresh legs make all the difference. That's all that matters.

Jota was not the sub to make, before or after the goal. Nakamba to give us more cover defensively against their new front line,  and Sama to make something of the chances that fell to others whod wasted them. Sadly  since the changes were made after we went behind, nakamba then offers little to us and our chances dried up as we no longer had Liverpool needing to find a goal. Its all about doing the right thing at the right time. Smith didn't react to what Liverpool did. It was a criminal waste of a position we had fought extremely hard to be in.

Everyone’s crying that we don’t make any changes and the players on the bench are so bad that when we bring them on we always get worse.

Smith can’t win. He’s been dealt a rough hand with the poor recruitment strategy and I genuinely don’t think anybody could keep this squad up.

If you really think the recruitment is the issue then the buck still stops with DS. 

He is quoted as saying he has final say on players coming in.

Even when they’re shit Liverpool are too good for us.

This is why they are Champions to be fair.

As that is the average of the season over everyone else in the league.

Had we failed to score more often we would have more points! 😂

This has been a good performance. They are fighting. No quality in the final third will ultimately mean we are down.

We had to do something about the goals conceded and overall I actually think we gave looked solid.
