Alisson: 6
Made a good save first 15 when our midfield was getting legged for a bit. Is he shite for the goal? I think he might be shite for the goal there, which is a shame. Fuck all else to do.
Milner: 6
Thought he was pretty shite first half. And didn’t manage much better second. Shite in possession, which is a worry all round.
Virgil: 7
Twatted one out after half an hour and it knocked any wind left in my sails for a posh one. Nothing to do the other way second half but the damage was done.
Big Joel: 6
Kept doing that march into deep space oblivion with the ball at his feet. I can’t accept that that is any part of our game plan. Yer, yer, yer, let’s create space for this big awkward cunt to meander into their half and then pass it to them.
Robbo: 6
Struggled in possession today. Then fucking decided he could score from 30 yards when the hard-fast rule that every cunt knows is that no defenders should be shooting from the edge of their box. Fucks sake, Reds. Poorest he has been for a while.
Lallana: 7
Won a tackle first five minutes and I went fucking berserk, beating fuck out of my chest like fucking Donkey Kong, knocking ale over, shit everywhere on the basis that he had an actual human body, like he just legged into Whoopi Goldberg’s body or something. On the fucking march.
Then he swung his fucking soul at that shot on the edge of the box two minutes later and it dribbled into the abyss and ended up counting as an incomplete pass. Then he just thought what am I good at? I know, sneaky Dutch turns, and he did 15 in a minute and The Reds had scored.
Might have been our best midfielder there even though he got subbed, which is a fucking scary position to be in.
Fabinho: 6
Thought he was poor today. You can dress that a number of ways. Option one: he was playing midfield basically on his own. Option two: he was shite and playing in midfield basically on his own.
Naby: 6
Lad runs off him for the goal. Might get blocked off but still, come on. That said, looks again on the cusp between fabulous and shite. No middle ground. Feel like at half time he needs to play and The Reds might be alright. He didn’t play and The Reds were shite.
Mo Salah: 6
Quiet. Couple of self-made, half chances. These Reds look half the side they were pre Crimbo.
Bobby: 3
Jesus fucking Christ he stank, didn’t he? Like not just a little bit. Couldn’t pass it five yards. Repeatedly. Over and over again. Like a monkey with a miniature symbol, trying to pass the fucker to feet. Without success. I reckon that was the worst he has played for The Reds.
Sadio: 7
Great touch and turn for the goal. Did fuck all else, but then you know, neither did any other fucker.
SUBS
Divock: 7
Miles better than Firmino. Had a half chance at the end but in fairness, did more from an attacking viewpoint than most other Reds.
Others:
Fuck it.

Love it!
In Milner’s defence, apparently he was unwell. In fact, he was made to travel on his own to the game to avoid infecting the other players.
And he volunteered to sit in his motor at half time
We are really poor right now at a crucial time of the season. The lack of a creative goalscoring mf player is hurting us too. Our mf 3 must currently have the lowest goalscoring record out of the top 4.
On the positive side, it can’t get much worse.
If 2 draws is our ‘blip’ then fine and we kick on from here.
Hope Keita can build your his performance in the latter stages of the match.
I lying in a hospital bed after an emergency op. Sore as hell and struggling. Listening to that on the radio (BBC Five Live… don’t ask) was torture. Commentary and performance.
I read the other sites awarding ratings, none gave Lallana anything other than a 5. In fact Anfield Index wrote a whole article asking what is the point of Lallana. All I know is that are supposed strength in depth doesn’t exist, it just isn’t there. Great first 11 when all fit and a couple of players outside it, but on the whole the rest are not delivering.
So today I am feeling doubly shite. Just want to go home and curl up into a ball, which it sounds like that what the Mighty Reds are currently doing.
Lallana literally created our goal. He could have a terrible match outside of that (and I don’t think he was awful BTW) and he’d still deserve a fairly high mark. 5 is madness.
*Our supposed strength in depth.
Lallana was on the field?
Can’t argue much, though I thought Naby was our best player today. Unlucky to be scapegoat for the ridiculous way we concede, as I’m pretty sure Robbo was supposed to be tracking Antonio. It was a smart set piece that our entire team switched off for, and we were fortunate to not let in two more in the same way. Never thought I’d say this but we need Lovren back in the team. He makes mistakes but is usually switched on at set pieces
The talk this week has been about pressure and the lack of it. Well whatever the reason, the form since new year has not been great. Klopp and the lads will have to sort it soon though, if they carry on like this we could be talking about champions league places in a few weeks. It seems that Sadio is the only attacking player standing tall atm, which kinda reminds me of the champions league final (what pressure?).
There’s also been alot of talk about squad illness, does anyone know what this is about? I’ve seen it suggested that the trip to Dubai may be the reason for this. Tbh, I thought it was a strange descision to fly there during a the 10 day break. There is not much restful about travelling and massively increases the risk of getting bugs etc. Would have been better taking them to a spa in the UK or hiking up a hill in the lakes!
Anyway, still time to turn it round aye.
