        My concerns were correct. We gave up. Beaten by a much much better team

          Trent’s been playing midfield and our defensive unit has been pulled apart.

            We’re just completely gung-ho last few games, and completely found out tonight.

              Got nothing left this season except to try and finish 4th (that unlikely) so it would be a Europa spot.

                Ah Madrid are very good but we made far to many mistakes. Gomez is finished.

                FairPlay to real. Absolutely battered us

                  We just don’t have the legs for 90s. We need fresh midfield and the best we can sub on is Milner when there are other players.

                    No control or leadership on the pitch tonight. Another big wake up call tonight for the club.

                      What’s happened to Liverpool’s defence? Used to be solid with that same back 5. They just seem a shambles at the moment.

                        Ed, I think the combination of a high line with a now easily bullied midfield is going to put pressure on any defence. But the defence itself has undoubtedly still been poor too.

                          Gomez is a massive massive problem. 4 basic mistakes for the last 4 goals.

                            One of the best ever performances I’ve seen from Real Madrid since the days of Brazilian Ronaldo. Masterclass and Endurance from the first whistle to the last. Unrepairable damage going into Madrid – beyond a Miracle to pull off.

                              A match that sums up our season. We play in fits and starts but with little control or leadership there, we’re easily bullied and littered with mistakes.

                                Sean, that pathetic attempted block by Gomez for Mitomas shot/goal vs Brighton just sums him up for me this season. Just far too casual.

                                  Let’s not go over board with praise for Real, we were very much architects of our own downfall. Mistakes after mistake from 30mins onwards. Amateurish to be that gung go in a two leg tie after going behind. Ref was a twat as well, but i’ll park that for now.

                                    Gomez is a liability as mentioned. Klopp must share some blame too unfortunately. Unlike Pep, he should consider alternative formations and players. We’re in denial too if we think we don’t need a Top Class Center Half.

                                    Of course those players are not going to have the mileage. Look at Henderson, and Fabinho; they’re getting on. You don’t see Kroos playing 90 minutes. Too much responsibility on Bajcetic; he’s just a kid.

                                    What’s the situation with Ox, Keita and Curtis Jones?

                                    We were taken apart losing a 2 goal lead on our own soil; absolute HUMILIATION!

                                      We miss a player like Gini who didn’t cost us the earth, and of course, Sadio.

                                        Midfield is a major problem but the defence is dreadful aswell. Anytime it’s exposed , they are in trouble. Absolutely terrible from set plays. Ridiculous high line. It’s a shambles and no one excuses

                                          Klopp getting absolutely hammered for telling Liverpool fans after last May after going out to Real Madrid:

                                          “Where’s the final next year? Istanbul? Book the hotel”.

                                          Can’t believe he came out with that! Hope nobody took him up on it.

                                            We were actually very good for 25 minutes or so then lost all the intensity. That’s fine, we were two nil up that’s a good situation to be in to try and control the game. Trouble is we drop the intensity but carry on with the high line, and with Henderson playing almost as a right winger leaving the centre exposed etc. The defence gets over ran time and time again. This leads to a lack of concentration, to stress and mistakes. Gomez in particular seems to be one that struggles to cope when under increased stress.

                                            I am not 100% sure why we do this. In our more successful years we would often blitz teams for 30 mins or so then control afterwards with a counter threat. Is it because our players are older and not replaced? Is it we are wary of the multitude of injuries we are getting? Or is it just our way of playing now?

                                            Whatever the reason it isn’t working as we are not controlling but leaving ourselves wide open. A high line with no press means the opposition have time to pick out good passes. Henderson on the right means the other two are outnumbered and passed around.

                                            There is a lot of truth that certain players have diminished in quality, Hendo, VvD, Gomez and Fabinho in particular. But our main issues are tactical and what’s happening on the training pitch.
