What on earth was the moment when Nunez at the back post had the opportunity to either tap it in or lay it back for szoboszlai for a tap in and then choosing to aimlessly pass it across the box to no one. That one was proper shocking...

Not beating them at Anfield was a bigger disgrace.

The chances we've missed this season is ultimately what will cost us, Trent hitting the bar against Arsenal, Gravenberch at Brighton. And now, 2 league games against the worst United team in recent memory.

I'm convinced...the season fell apart completely last year when Jota was injured. The same is happening this season. He is underrated because his skill set makes the whole frontline better. Nunez is purely athletic with minimal technical precision. Diaz is mostly a dribbler. Jota can do all of those things AND provide clutch moments when needed! May he return soon or it's going to be butt-puckering the rest of the way.

I just have to remind myself this was a rebuilding season and we’re a point ahead of City in April (but yesterday still hurt like hell).

There’s no excuse for not beating that lot on 3 different occasions. We seemed to lack any sort of killer instinct yesterday, and if we’re honest most of the season. We never seem to win games by 2 or 3 goal margins, we can’t expect to go a goal down in every game and win the game. I’m a glass half full person so I’ll think of yesterday’s point as a good point until it no longer is, but we need to stop giving respect to our opponents by constantly letting them off the hook. Big month ahead … 🙏

Forgot to mention Elliot brought once again energy and optimism to a game. He has been unfairly kept from the starting 11. He deserves a run now.

I haven’t lost my temper in at least 10 years watching us…. Sunday I totally lost it and my sons and wife were shocked lol

In every match planning meeting, the coaching team need to state: " this is premiership football, expect to be tackled, so move the ball quickly. " Then tell the following to write out 100 lines repeating this: Jones, Endo, Szob, Nunez. On their return, Ali, TAA, Jota and Konate need to go straight back in for every game.

Mo has missed 33.33% of his last 12 penalties...keeping him on pens is a massive risk

Definitely a conversation to be had about Salah. Can't understand what's going on with him, he could assist and score in a game and yet can't make a five yard pass. And that's been going on since last season.

Thanks so much fellas- that was therapy for me. Still frustrated but somehow hearing others feel the same way, makes it a little easier to manage- and you’ve done it with terrific analysis. Those 3 aways reminded me of the 3 aways on the trot back in Mar ‘14….Southampton, MU and Cardiff….when we won the lot, but I conveniently forgot we had them on separate weekends with no European football (rather than all in a week!). Neil made me laugh about the Goal Difference reference- to my mind, if we were more clinical (easier said than done, but post Ramadan Mo and Diogo might help- and we are creating LOADS of chances), that gap can be taken care of over 7 games without going ‘Crystal Palace away 13/14’ mad. We are better than everyone left to play us- with Jota, Trent and Ali to return, I’m much more optimistic we can win all 7, than I would be otherwise. Frustrated today, but very proud of this bunch of lads. UTFR. YNWA.

I'm not sure why we are talking about how hard we've had it at Old Trafford in the past. I'm also not sure what Neils point is about them being an odd side as its not relevant its ignoring the real issue. Its painfully obvious what the issue is and its the fact that the likes of Nunez and Diaz you cant rely on when it comes to real business end of the season in the big moments. This was the same story as City a few weeks ago when Diaz had what 2-3 clear cut chances and we come away with a draw. Today same story. Arsenal at Anfield this season same story. We dont have enough killers in the side in the same way City do when it comes to the real big moments.

I am going to comment before watching the video. So I am not influenced by it. Some points as an LFC supporter. 1) My prediction at the start of the season was Arsenal to win. They appeared to be on the same trajectory with Arteta as Liverpool were with Klopp. 2) LFC finishing 3rd, behind Man City, and a trophy somewhere else along the line I would have considered a pretty good outcome with the serious assault on the EPL coming next season. So thi season has already had a measure of success with potentially more to come. I was anticipating Man Utd again to be in the Champions League places. 3) This season, the team have not been as ruthless as say the World Club Championship winning side. 4) The team I think have slightly over-performed this season, so not a surprise. We have won games more by will power than by skill and class. 5) The introduction of the academy players has been a revelation. They will all improve. with a much better goals to chances ratio. For example in 2 seasons, I would be expecting Harvey Elliott to score from his last minute chance. 6) Jurgen Klopp has been brilliant and he will be a miss. I am definitely a fan of his. We have been badly hit by injuries, which has put additional strain on those playing. But I think the new man whoever it will be can make one improvement which is tweaking attitudes to know not only how to attack but when to attack. I think what I am saying is that there is more to be positive about than negative.

Can’t believe I’m putting myself through this

Been a gud season, but we can talk about xg all we like, reality is yesterday’s performance is a rehash of every other big game all season,dominating without scoring.......villa is our biggest win of the season & it’s April🤷‍♂️that doesn’t win titles

I was frustrated with their second goal. I was watching Arsenal versus Brighton the other day and every time a Brighton player was in their box and shaped to make a shot, the Arsenal players were breaking their necks to throw themselves in front of the ball and ours seem to just stick out a lazy leg.

Curtis Jones really is a Jekyll and Hyde type player. Came on against Sheffield United and drove us forward. Came on against United and absolutely hamstrung every attack. He was honestly, criminal.

Love TAW analysis its indepth, balanced and informed. Neil made me spit my coffee out with laughter when unpicking Goodison game with just 3 simple words " F*** off Ian " 😂😂😂

Elliott was excellent but ... Jones was well off it. Not just bc of the G, more because he lost possession 2-3 times in dangerous areas in just 30 mins. To THAT ManU midfield ... This was not happening at all.pre injury. He simply never got up to the pace of the game.

I'm not confused why we didn't win that game. This is how we play and have played for a long time. Slow passing. Too many touches. Bad decision-making. As they say in video, passing when we should shoot and shooting when we should be passing. We are a great team especially after the season we had last season. But stats can give the wrong impression. We had 28 shots but with an EG of 3.9. How can you shoot over the bar from 6 yards which diaz and salah did. Its harder to do that than keep it low. Hate that stat generally but it tells a lot of truth about us. Our proportion of shots on target is so often around 25% which considering the amount of 'shots' we have is awful. Unfortunately salah is usually the biggest villain in this. I'd come to accept he needs 6 attempts per goal. But at least he's entertaining and as long he eventually gets his goal which he normally does who cares. But in games like this it's hard not to blame him for wasting possession so much. Its these big games though where you remember when things go wrong. And especially these three games against man u which have had an undeserved effect on our season.

Tbh I understand why people are looking at the attack because they were poor and do need to be more clinical, however, I do think the defence is the bigger issue. I’ll explain, we score at least one goal every game, even though we waste a lot of chances, we are still scoring. Now we hardly ever keep clean sheets anymore and that’s why we’re dropping points. We’ve done our job if we score nearly every game up top. We can’t keep gifting teams goals and making mistakes. I understand two of the lads at the back are young and deserve some lenience, but they are to blame for our dropped points and games lost recently more than our attack. See WAY more focus on the attack though from people. I get it, we have to be more clinical, but we’ve got to sure up the back as well man. You can’t always score 2/3/4/5 goals in a game.

Thanks lads - needed this one Love this team But hand on heart we don’t deserve the League Attackers are a disaster Not good enough No killers

Call it as it is.. we bottled it. Straight. No ifs no buts. We bottled it. The pressure got to them. It’s okay to admit that. Also arsenal are better than us. It’s okay to admit that also. What I don’t want to accept it arteta equaling klopps titles just before Klopp leaves. That would burn me. I’d have to take a break from the game. Liverpool FC strikes again. Us fans deserve better.

If Kelleher saves Fernandes shot btw, we're down to 10 mem and Adrian next week lol

Thanks for the content

We should look at getting a forward coach. Someone of renown, would be so beneficial to Darwin

Taylor had his best refereeing performance for us.

I think it's the old man on the left. To state that Evertonians are not really having any hopes besides us not getting up our goal difference, makes me question wheather he is 50 or 5 years old. They give us a tough game every time we face them away from home and a lot of goalless draws or defeats came out of it. After that performance yesterdday he also states that he thinks we will win all 7 games from now on - so at this point, I question if he is qualified to talk about footboll on a high quality podcast like this. Rest of the lads spot on, YNWA

We have been missing Trent's pinpoint crosses a bit, havent we ? .. Plus his speading of the ball far and wide onto the pitch to instantly stretch a game.. Let's face it .. We need to find space for him under the new manager, we need him. Every team needs a Trent.

a valuable point perhaps

6:05 They choked against a dog turd team. Completely bottled it. That's right.

I’ve been fasting for the past 4 weeks now, and I have a basic daily routine.. let me tell you, I used to fast and play American football, and the trainings/games were grueling. I would need special permission from coaches to end my training sessions a little bit early because at some point the lack of fluids in your body affects your vision, focus and stamina. Nowadays I can barely get half a workout in at the gym when I make it there after breaking fast. Ramadan ends tomorrow, hopefully Salah overcomes this rust/injury/fasting in the next few days or week(s)

Honestly I think it is the genius of Klopp that is getting the level of performance from this team that is above their ability and has raised everyone's expectation. Not that any of these players are not great, but this team wouldn't be anywhere close to top of the league without Klopp!

@TheDesignMan totally agree. It's really poor for a 1hr chat about the tactics and details on the day

What an intro 👏😭

What is going at our training sessions, do work on composure, in front goal?

Only thing I was waiting for. Arrogantly ignored all post match chat simply because of how angry I was/still am.

Bit lazy commentary I'm fed up of people saying Elliot is a good sub cos he watches the game from the bench. FFS he's not the only one with eyes. He's just a bloody good footballer and played well when he had the chance, he deserves more prem starts.

Elliot should have been on 10 minutes or so earlier. Szobo was blowing out his arse after 55th min

I agree with Josh, the way united play is mad. You see 5 people pressing individually man marking the pivoted players and leaving acres of space behind them. I don’t know how you can coach or prep your team for this kind of madness? The only thing I would have like to see is may be pulling Endo back a little further and building with a back three, instead of back two. That could have reduced the chaoticness of United’s way of playing.

Jota and Trent did play in the arsenal defeat so it's not as simple as them being put back in to the team. This team isn't angry enough to win the title the 19/20 team was angry when they won the title. If they don't have anger from this performance to channel into the last 7 games then Liverpool won't win the 80s

Too many draws have cost us league titles before,and so it’s proving the same shortfall this season,we need to keep clean sheets first and foremost,then the cohesion and decision making in final 3rd needs to be much better without stating the obvious of finishing off great approach play.There is no tolerance for anymore slip ups,it has to be 7 wins no less.

I hope we're back talking preseason as champions, doubters into believers. Josh is right, when he mentioned Arsenal being a top side but if they get a seed if doubt with 7 to go. Might just put a cat amongst the pigeons. Atalanta is a good game just to take the eyes off. Bang in a few and bring the goals back to the league please!

Still fuming and have been since half time yesterday! Gonna be a week long fume this one 😂

Josh an ideal therapist for Neil. Start of podcast: snarling Atkinson; end: almost Buddhist like acceptance.

Mo has never had many tricks, the ones he did possess where world class, problem is that it appears that those limited tricks seem to have deserted him.

Frustrating and I’m still too emotional after that game. I believe we can win our remaining games. My concern is Arsenal do not concede goals.

Quansah was our gerrard's slip , its like we are cursed.... He got bit careless for fraction of a second and made a that will cause us the league.. we will loose the league by fraction of points or because of goal difference which is so sad, considering how we were being cheated ( Tottenham Game, odegaard playing basketball inside the box and Dokus Kick in the chest) .. Yesterday was heart break , something died inside

That’s why we miss Trent. Trent takes the opponents out of the picture with his low cross passes. Our attackers are not precise enough with the final pass. It is the quality of the final third passes that is lacking currently. A quality pass is half a goal.

I thought Bradley had a poor game going forward, couldn't beat the first man on his crosses and kept putting the wrong kind of ball in, we looked more dangerous down there when Gomez came on

There is not enough words to make sense of all these draws during the Klopp era.

I don't think old trafford got in their heads but the size of the occasion got in their heads, same at arsenal where they failed to turn up and against city where they had the better of the chances. Is there a pattern developing

Leaugue is gone just feel it. If its goal difference then my God how sad that would be

1 Never forget without the PGMOL interference we would be 9 points clear, Liverpool clearly are the best team in the world 2 Manure are literal 3 The new manager might have a bit more cunning than honest Klopp, meaning more trophies 4 Liverpool are top of the league

Given the mental block from the first two games, the front 3 should've been Salah/Diaz/Danns. With Nunez to replace Danns on 65.

Have really missed Jota....hope he gets back soon because nunez,Salah,Gakpo&diaz are really frustrating to watch.

Conceding 6 goals in 2 games, a draw and a defeat, against the worst Utd team in decades are good performances? 6 goals in 2 games is not dominance or control over them either. Possession and shots stats are irrelevant. They mean nothing. We can't defend or keep a clean sheet to save our lives, which will be ignored by most yet again I suspect. Thankfully at least 1 of the 4 guys here mentioned our inability to keep a clean sheet.

We couldn’t even beat Luton away, never mind United. So many missed opportunities 😮‍💨

We should play Eliotte more he want to win

When did Liverpool last win a crunch league match?

We are not as good as we think we are. In my opinion, we move the ball too slowly, allowing opposition to get into position.

When you start believing you can win the league, is the time the pressure starts to show in performances. If we get TAA and Jota back soon we might just stay in this title run in, I just hope the pressure starts to weigh down the other two soon.

Aren’t we guilty of over analysing this. It’s quite simple. We are in a race to win a title, just fu*-!n win. Pin it on the dressing room door for the next seven games

Are we gonna have 3 teams finishing with 90 or more points

The attack wasnt good enough, 2 goals conceded shouldnt be enough to lose that game. The defence wasn't good enough, 2 goals scored should be enough to win that game. Both things are true, and everyone was poor.

Where’s that qt3.14 abigail

Manu are not a weird crazy team but just a shit team and we can’t beat them…unbelievable. Doing the same sh.. twice is mind blowing.

It's difficult to be so bad as united but we was to proud to be bad to.

This title race is killing me.🙈

Neil is such a know it all.

In a normal season in the past when you could loose a few games, a draw away at OT is one of them results you just move on. But we know these days you have to get 90+ points to win the league so it isn’t a good result.

Neil said it the best: We lost 2-2

We were pants, forget talking about them. City went there and won easily, we are just pants.

Saying it was a good display is laughable. Everyone is getting 30 shots & chance after chance against Utd! Its not a good performance if every man and his dog is battering them! It’s like saying you’re good at walking! Well, that’s just a normal thing lad!! It’s a bad performance because we didn’t win.

I am hoping to see Conor Bradley take more risks in the penalty box, he obviously can shoot the ball...he is able to slip past defenders in the pockets and shd smash the ball into the goal mouth.

When did Gomez stop being a center back?

Klopp is stubborn and its going to cost us. Where is young Danns? He is so sharp and fearless and would have scored v City and United. He scored two cracking goals v Southampton in a twenty minute substitute appearance and is being punished for it. Our front three are stale. When jota comes back play Mo, Jota and Danns and we will start scoring freely again

Too many Liverpool players can not shoot straight. Especially Salah who should not be taking penalties any more and is now missing easy shots regularly.

Our front players need to be trained and trained so much that it comes to muscle memory at finding another player and hitting the target, nobody else to blame but our strikers, Salah has been throwing his toys out over being subbed and then puts a performance in like that?

Can anyone tell me why konate wasn’t playing?

I'd be happy top see our forward line shipped out and changed. I'd keep Jota. I feel we've seen the best of Salah, Nunez is thick. Diaz works hard but....

Neil REALLY needs to let people finish their points, opinions or sentences after ASKING for them.

If Konate can't play 2 games per week, then sell and replace by quality CB who is fit to play every 3 days.

Not good enough if you want to win the title- no excuses end of story

Dunno why I'm watching something I'm doing my best to forget

Very disappointing, but not surprising because the finishing frailties have been there all season. In all the games Liverpool have dropped points the xG vs Actual goals metric is -5.58. It's not about the goals scored in winning games, it's all about the chances missed and dropped points......It won't be surprising to fans the culprits. A total of 12 points dropped against Arsenal, Man City, and Man Utd home and away, all costly, but the dropped points against Utd unnecessary and ultimately very damaging.

Don’t want be rude but the older fella is about 5 mins behind the conversation all the time

Im 20 minutes in and theres too much chat about Man Utd, when the dropped points were completely down to us, abysmal finishing and decision making once again.

We put pressure on the attack in having to outscore teams as we leak easy goals (no clean sheets in 8?). The DM position we have to address in the summer. Endo has been as good as he can be, but that lack of mobility/recovery pace leaves us susceptible on the break. He left a big gaping hole in midfield for their second. Without a top DM you will always be vulnerable.

Wining the League was just a hope... Let's just finsh in Europe champion league and pry 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

I think Salah looked like a 32 year old fella, coming back from injury, who had been fasting all day? Don't forget it is ramadan!

When you have millions chansese before quanza misstake. We need to deliver score.

@ both ManU and Assna ... the give away turned the game. Period. No give aways, we beat ManU yesterday and draw assna. Brain fart giveaways against rivals kill title runs. That is the harsh lesson.

Dont panic ...if we win next four fixtures we will win league...toughest one going to be west ham away..12.30 and 2.5 days after game with everton.....arsenal will have one blip and we desperation will get us over line against spurs and villa..

Everybody just calm down we are going to win this title

We need a Rush, Fowler, Owen, Torres, Suarez. It's not like they don't exist, we've had loads in the past. Other than Igor ❤, these 'cult' players are just a term for being sub-standard. Watch how that Isak chap gets one chance and scores, we struggle with open goals FFS

Everyone losing there minds in the comments as per....if we'd have won every game after we went top, that would mean finishing with a ten game winning run. Our previous longest winning run this season is 5 epl games, same for city and arsenal have done 8. All dropping points every 3 games on average. Grow up and get behind them...."doubters to believers"? My a**e!

We shouldn't have to be managing the time of our number 2 centre half, how can you be having conversations about winning the league or a European Cup if you have to keep rotating Konate.

We wont win the leage not quite good enough . Once klopp goes were back in the wilderness for a few years. If we had allison trent jota all season we may of won it. Virgil and mac allister players of the season by far class acts both of them . Postecoglu from spurs would be my choice for next manager i think he'd do well
