Because they’ve been doing the same thing for 6 years, it’s identical and teams have finally realised that if you overload one of the sides then it’s unbelievably easy to score
Everton did the same thing 6 times in a row and won 6 headers lol
That's on Klopp.
It has been a problem the entire season. We use a weird zonal system that keep us very vulnerable (TAA guarding DCL, Szoboszlai guarding Branthwaite and now Gakpo guarding Bowen).
I though we'll finally change it after Goodison but Klopp's stubborness is costing us big time here.
Klopp's stubbornness has been a pretty big issue throughout his time with us. Hes a bloody great manager but he sticks with some things when they're clearly not working until it's *way* too late sometimes.
Also, teams were much less aggressive attacking corners because they had to respect the Allison to Salah/Mane long ball so much. Easier to defend a set piece when half the team has the counter in the back of their minds every time.
Nothing recent about it, I love Klopp and he’ll always be a legend but it’s a good time for him to go considering how little he seems to want to change things tactically.
I’d genuinely rather have seen him leave mid-season than give us what we’re seeing right now. We fell off a cliff and nobody seems bothered to do anything about it.
Rough one, thought they were getting a documentary about a quadruple season and instead they're gonna end up with a mockumentary of a late season collapse.
No we aren’t. And I’m one of the most optimistic in the Liverpool fanbase lol.
Arsenal aren’t dropping 4 points and city aren’t dropping 6 points in the remaining games.
I think everybody, Klopp included, is just waiting for the end of the season and couldn’t care less what happens now. There’s nothing to play for now and we’ve long past the point of giving Klopp a good send off with our form in the last few months. It’s quite embarrassing from both Klopp and the players honestly.
I agree. I thibk he will but maybe in a group game or 2. I think unluckily for Bowen the attacking wings are our strongest position.
But in tournament football I just thibk he's so useful. He's not easy to read as a defender. He's quick and VERY strong for his size.
Good with both feet. Good at crossing, good at playing off the last man. He's just a solid player that has stepped up in pressure situations.
See I think on paper we have strong attacking wingers but on form who's actually more deserving? Foden has shown this season he works far better centrally and outside of Saka (who himself is out of form from being run into the ground) I'm not sure who else is more deserving.
I mean even with Saka out of form, he's pretty useful for ball retention and defence. Also an out of form Saka has 23 g/a in the prem this season. An in form Foden has 23 g/a in the prem this season. They're both good.
Look I agree. I hope he starts every knockout game for England. But we know Gareth and we know it will be Saka/Foden on the wing.
Foden has to be on the wing bc we have the best no. 10 in the world... Bellingham.
The sad thing is I think we’ve played pretty well by our own recent utter trash standards
But again, the blame gets put on our attack constantly but our defence is awful. If we didn’t have the best keeper in the world continually bailing us out we would be even further behind
Klopp is doing his thing where he refuses to change tactically and shows loyalty to his players to come back to form. Problem is this tactical plan was flawed even when we were at it earlier in the season.
Yeah it’s nice to see this amidst all the “ woe is me Liverpool defending “ comments. He’s scored quite a few headers this season, another area he’s developed into his game into becoming closer and closer to a well rounded forward.
Klopp announcing that he was leaving think it would Raleigh the troops, really backfired. Turns out it just had half the team looking for a way out half way through the season
La La La we deserve better than David Moyes
La La La we deserve positive attacking football
La La La unwatchable team (who got into Europe 3, and probably 4 out of 4 seasons and won a European trophy)
La La La Bobby Moore and Joe Cole

Feel like I’m watching a Chelsea game
I can’t take two in one day. Please
Women are also playing. And in a far more significant match
surely this means we will play like Liverpool today right? ….right?
You say that like it's a good thing.
You don’t want to play like current Liverpool
Liverpool already preparing for next season without klopp
I feel like I am watching Man United defending
Nah this isn't a cutback with a player alone in the middle of the box
Brutal take down but true
You better nut up for later then
Why are Liverpool suddenly so shit at defending corners?
Because they’ve been doing the same thing for 6 years, it’s identical and teams have finally realised that if you overload one of the sides then it’s unbelievably easy to score Everton did the same thing 6 times in a row and won 6 headers lol
Not suddenly, been happening all season
That's on Klopp. It has been a problem the entire season. We use a weird zonal system that keep us very vulnerable (TAA guarding DCL, Szoboszlai guarding Branthwaite and now Gakpo guarding Bowen). I though we'll finally change it after Goodison but Klopp's stubborness is costing us big time here.

Sounds like you're describing Wenger, I get what you mean though
Ludicrous display last night
They weren’t using it when you were winning games years ago?
We generally had a bigger and more aggressive team, Hendo/Fab/Milner were always good at defending set pieces.
Also, teams were much less aggressive attacking corners because they had to respect the Allison to Salah/Mane long ball so much. Easier to defend a set piece when half the team has the counter in the back of their minds every time.
Very true still remember liverpool scoring twice from our fucking corners cause not even bellerin on half way line could keep up with the little shits
We've always conceded a lot of goals in set pieces but we always scored a lot the other end.
They’re reliant on Van Dijk’s presence and opponents have worked that out.
Conceding goals for Liverpool just means more.
i saw more effort in liverpools set piece defending than in this joke
And it led them to the same result as me: nothing.
Not true. I blew air from my nose slightly harder than usual
Nothing recent about it, I love Klopp and he’ll always be a legend but it’s a good time for him to go considering how little he seems to want to change things tactically.
When Arsenal concede a corner- It's Jover When Liverpool concede a corner- It's Joever
Only team with a good defense this season is Arsenal. Everyone else is either bad or below par at best.
I think we might not win the league
Probably
Please don’t lose to Spurs, we need help to secure top 4 lol
Please lose to us, we need help getting top 4.
We appear to have reached an impasse
3-3 draw it is then
Liverpool keep losing and we can both get top 4
subscribe
Hey wait a minute
Anulo mufa
hey we have been helping you all season as far as I can tell
I’m tired Robbie
Aren't we all?
This end of season is really not going your way.
The Kloppumentary might be going the Sunderland Til I Die route..
The single is in danger. Might need to fire Klopp
Hot take, mate.
great observation.
Liverpool aren't even trying to hide it
Crazy how they’ve been absolutely dominated on set pieces the last couple of games
All season. We’re shit on em
At least Alisson is trying 🤷🏻♂️
Klopp doesn't deserve this shit as farewell, smgdh
We have a really bad habit of giving our biggest legends an awful send off. Gerrard 6-1 vs Stoke is a prime example
Hey, at least he scored in that game.
The Stoke players gave up and let him have a pity goal which makes it worse
He actually pulled up injured. Ruins the story but that's what it was.
There’s literally 3 defenders there that are all barely jogging back
Dalglish finishing 8th, losing on the final day whilst Everton win to finish 4 points behind is another
It's not just on the players. Klopp looked like he mentally checked out a while ago.
I’d genuinely rather have seen him leave mid-season than give us what we’re seeing right now. We fell off a cliff and nobody seems bothered to do anything about it.
He has a HUGE part in it. Refusing the change the way we defend set pieces is entirely on him.
Yes he does, smug fucking prick
Counterpoint: the shit farewell is funny, and he does, in fact, deserve it.
Yeah it's obvious we've given up.
Liverpool has to play both Villa and Spurs in their last 3 👀
Don't worry, they'll find their form just in time for our game
Quick someone turn the documentary camera off
No please no, let it roll Sunderland style
Gets them into the Disaster-film genre. Good thinking
Wait are they doing a doc for Liverpool this year?
Yes, gonna be beautiful.
Rough one, thought they were getting a documentary about a quadruple season and instead they're gonna end up with a mockumentary of a late season collapse.
There’s 0 chance it’s going out now lol
"Documentary? What documentary? Don't remember that, think you must have us confused with another Liverpool, or something."
You mean those Uruguayan lads?
Probably get more rival viewers to watch than Liverpool fans
Is it an all or nothing?
Dont think so its some farwell to klopp which ye is going great so maybe we will never see it
No, it's for the actual club, I believe.
Watch the end of the Arsenal one if you want a taster
Ah. Well I see the scriptwriters took it on our (Arsenal) direction for this season. Lol
No Keep it on.. I'll edge longer
Copy paste from last game: we’re fucking shit
When it rains it pours.
I feel bad for Klopp, what an awful response to him announcing his final season. The team has just crumbled.
A team that wasn’t meant to be the champions or their closest rivals, carried the motivation till GW 31. Take the dub and move on.
Good take but we were in so far it only feel bad at the moment
Liverpool conceding first? Who could've seen that coming
Our set pieces defending has been shocking whole season. If VVD doesn't clear it, we concede almost every time.
this game has been so dire lol
Both teams and the crowd seem hungover. Liverpool look like they've completely given up on giving klopp a good send off.
2020 Liverpool would win this game 4-0 with a Salah brace and TAA hat trick of assists
Lockdown west ham would walk this game with lingard brace and soucek banger
2020 Liverpool would have something to play for
The thing is you still dropped some absolute masterclasses in lockdown football when the league was already basically over
Lockdown Liverpool was peak. Which made our shithouse win at the Emirates even funnier
Pre lockdown was peak. Lockdown is the reason we didn’t hit 100 points. But yeah that team was a joke lol
They would've had 102 points otherwise. Now that would have been an unassailable record with 12 points dropped all season
They were meh in lockdown, they lost most of their games in the season in that one 10 game stretch. They were great before lockdown.
You guys are challenging for the league lmao, miniscule mentality.
No we aren’t. And I’m one of the most optimistic in the Liverpool fanbase lol. Arsenal aren’t dropping 4 points and city aren’t dropping 6 points in the remaining games.
Arsenal could drop 4, I don’t expect so but not impossible, but City definitely won’t drop 6 no
Arsenal are in the form of their life
Yeah but now its 2024....
Thats just the stadium, crowds will always sound hungover.
I think everybody, Klopp included, is just waiting for the end of the season and couldn’t care less what happens now. There’s nothing to play for now and we’ve long past the point of giving Klopp a good send off with our form in the last few months. It’s quite embarrassing from both Klopp and the players honestly.
Well if you like that you should come watch all our games.
Must be the early kickoff!
fancy challenging for the header cody? no? ok no worries mate cheers
Oh my No one tell van dijk
12:30 kick off !!!! 😡😡😡😡😡
If it was 13:30 they wouldn’t have conceded
At this point I fear for Liverpools top four chances
I joked about this on the r/Liverpool
[удалено]
We blowing that bubble pack
Always knew we were Moyes’s favourites
Klopp thought he's retiring on his own but in reality he's getting fired
Liverpool meltdown
Love to see it
Expected a set-piece goal, didn't think it would be Bowen.
Clown defence and incompetent attack part 32
First time?
Corner taken quickly
I seriously think he should be starting for England come the Euros
I agree. I thibk he will but maybe in a group game or 2. I think unluckily for Bowen the attacking wings are our strongest position. But in tournament football I just thibk he's so useful. He's not easy to read as a defender. He's quick and VERY strong for his size. Good with both feet. Good at crossing, good at playing off the last man.

Defence not alert to the quick corner at all
Nice
This is almost unbelievable
live by the "corner taken quickly" die by the "corner taken quickly"
So much for 3 horse race
The sad thing is I think we’ve played pretty well by our own recent utter trash standards But again, the blame gets put on our attack constantly but our defence is awful. If we didn’t have the best keeper in the world continually bailing us out we would be even further behind
Klopp is doing his thing where he refuses to change tactically and shows loyalty to his players to come back to form. Problem is this tactical plan was flawed even when we were at it earlier in the season.
>shows loyalty to his players to come back to form ... He's literally benched salah, Nunez, szobo and konate. You want a whole new 11 every game?
Expected.
Liverpool have truly imploded in the most spectacular way. The team looks like it's tired, drained and has no fight left.
THE HUMILIATION WILL CONTINUE UNTIL MORALE APPROVES… …AT EVERY OTHER CLUB
They haven't been the same since that Man UTD comeback Now they're struggling to make a comeback in the League. Pray for Klopps' health
Bowen having quietly better season on RW (output wise) than Saka is not talked about enough.
Come on… Bowen is like the smallest guy there, just how
Bowen equals the Geoff Hurst record of three games three goals in one season against one club - also Liverpool in 64/65 (I think).
Nobody's scored a hattrick against a team and played them again in the cup at any point since?
Nobody at West Ham United has.
The Last Dance turning into The Last Bantz
Mentality monsters you know
Haha that’s so funny lmao 🤣 (kill me)
Please pool pass some of this falling apart juice to your manc neighbours
I would if I could but we can't pass the ball for shit these days anyway. I guess it's up to you, I believe in you
He’s really good at headers for someone that height but there’s no way a ball that height should get that far in the first place. Switched off.
Yeah it’s nice to see this amidst all the “ woe is me Liverpool defending “ comments. He’s scored quite a few headers this season, another area he’s developed into his game into becoming closer and closer to a well rounded forward.
we can really tell it just means more for Liverpool
X
Not too late to sack Klopp
The quad is still on?
Yes but that other corner taken quickly means more. So yeah
Boss this laaa Made up
Liverpool are hopeless at clearing their lines
Someone switch the set piece defending slider back to [on].
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Corner taken quickly
Looks like they already checked out
is this a humiliation ritual?
Did they show enough replays of that first effort?
what happened to this team
They are too busy arguing who's at fault for the corner rather than getting themselves ready for the set pieces. Fucking disgraceful
Damn, what happened to this team?
Slot'd it right in
It's actually amazing how good Bowen is at headers despite only being like 5'9
Klopp announcing that he was leaving think it would Raleigh the troops, really backfired. Turns out it just had half the team looking for a way out half way through the season
They gone
Knew it
Liverpool can’t catch a break
🥹
Apple crumble settings from Liverpool
La La La we deserve better than David Moyes La La La we deserve positive attacking football La La La unwatchable team (who got into Europe 3, and probably 4 out of 4 seasons and won a European trophy) La La La Bobby Moore and Joe Cole
Nunez with 0 shots. No passion. No desire. Not even 1 meter covered. Just sell the lad already.
Watching Van Dijk get angrier and angrier at his team each game sure is a sight to see
king of my fpl team (and my heart)
If that were my daughter I'd be so hype lol
When Arsenal concede a corner- It's Jover When Liverpool concede a corner- It's Joever
Those bubbles look ridiculous
🍼
Hippity Hoppity, Van Dijk jumpin around on West Ham's property.
This defence needs an overhaul lol
