Old Man Andrews It was an odd display, players didn't look to arsed by it in all honesty. It is weird that they didn't put everything they had into this game, it was so winnable and would have almost guaranteed qualification to the next phase. Has Klopp lost his magic touch?
I feel that Firmino is such an important part of the way Liverpool play-he at times becomes an extra midfielder and is a decent tackler, often taking the ball off an opponent to set Liverpool going again.
Daniel unfortunately is a striker and not much more and (understandably in view of his terrible injury record) he always looks frightened to put his foot in and too frequently loses possession.
Klopp seemingly wants to protect Firmino from burn out but leaving him out for an "easy" fixture was IMHO the wrong decision as he could probably have left him out this coming Saturday.
Mind you, Klopp has done so little wrong he deserves to be cut some slack.
The other thing IMHO is that Lallana is (once again because of the injuries) not looking the player that he was and gives possession away too often.
All is far from lost in this competition but last night has made qualifying so much harder and it could be just City flying the flag when this qualifying period is over as Spurs and Man Utd have been made to look ordinary and need everything to fall right to qualify.
