We have no belief in ourselves any more

[dh1963]

These toothless displays stem from belief.

When we had it, went toe to toe with some very good European teams.
Now we don't have it, and even better teams are swatting us aside.

How do we get it back?

 

[Glasgow Is Orange]

The manager has sucked the belief out of the players and the support.

We get it back when he goes.

Keep the zero. Be terrified. Be scared.

 

[Aaritalo]

Liverpool have in Mo Salah one of the maybe top 10 players in the world? One of the best right backs in the world. One of the best centre backs in the world. Spent 80 mil on a striker this summer.

We lost. Of course we lost.

I'm not Gio's biggest fan but there's nothing to read into tonight.

 

[Chapman Billy]

That was another Chamber of Secrets performance from our players tonight. Totally froze and didn’t play like we know they can like last season in the EL.

 

[Thewandofpedro]

I’m not sure the players have belief in what the manager is trying to do and how he wants to play.

 

[cambie gers]

We get it back, when the tactics change. Very rarely do you see the fullbacks overlapping anymore. Keep the zero crap. For me it's all on Gio. We don't look as fit either

 

[Amadaeus]

Liverpool are one of the best three sides in the World. This isn't Ross County FFS

 

[RenfrewBear72]

It’s utterly depressing watching what we were during the 55 season to now.

Take CL out of it, we’ve been dire all season and hearts done us a favour going to 10men on Saturday.

Sooner the coward in the dugout is gone the better.

 

[BBBear]

I think it's obvious it's down to the tactics and the manager , really is that simple

There is an argument that he made us money improving Bassey but there's also the argument he has cost us just as much with the regression of key assets such as kent , kamara & tav.

We had no intention of trying to win tonight. Exactly the same as Ajax where the same manager came out and said we can't compete

 

[Leo_Ger]

We'll be lucky to score a goal at this rate.

6 shots on target across the 3 games. Most of them when the games have been done.

 

[WATP1979]

It’s down to the dud in the dugout

 

[Chris01]

Change the manager

 

[Waltersarmy]

I’m not sure the players have belief in what the manager is trying to do and how he wants to play.

If they don’t they should be vocal about and have some baws rather than hiding

 

[Bigbluebeard]

Liverpool are one of the best three sides in the World. This isn't Ross County FFS

I wouldn't even bother bud, absolutely pointless with some on here.

 

[TPP]

No it doesn’t, it stems purely from tactics and set up. That’s it. %^*& all to do with belief. It’s utter confusion on what to do if not backwards.

 

[DAS77Ibrox]

It was passive shitebag stuff. There is plenty to read into tonight.

 

[JeffreySpauIding]

You can have all the belief you like but if they turn up they are going to win.

 

[Dr. Strangelove]

That goes as much for a large section of our support as it does the board, players and management.

 

[Dolphin]

Keep the zero. Be terrified. Be scared.

It's suspiciously similar to Tommy McLean's Motherwell sides. Shocking for a Rangers team

 

[Ataturk]

Gerrard 2018-2022 - never lost by more than 2 goals.

GVB - lost by 4 goals twice, 3 goals twice.

Last season’s EL run was amazing but we’re clearly not as difficult to beat as we were under Gerrard.

 

[Live Forever]

The manager has sucked the belief out of the players and the support.

We get it back when he goes.

Nail on the head here.

Sooner the better.

 

[Mark Corrigan]

We're playing a team who've been in 3 of the last 5 finals,they are light years ahead of us.

 

[OnTheWay]

First half we had chances to press off the ball and turn with the ball to play forward and we either gave it away needless, played it back and stood off them.

2nd half we were better. Subs were good, looked better on the ball and created a few chances.

Have to just go for it next week.

 

[DEJA BLUE]

It's the manager mate , it's very simple, these players are far better than these 3 games we've played so far, gio is very lucky mcgregor was brilliant today that could have been 6 easy , seems the board are happy though. I'd have had dyche in after the game at parkhead.

 

[Ifyecannaedaethebouncy]

I think we maybe overestimated our chances in the CL. Obviously we done amazingly last season in europe but i think we overachieved giving us a false sense of where we actually are on a European level.

 

[BWO]

Gerrard 2018-2022 - never lost by more than 2 goals.

GVB - lost by 4 goals twice, 3 goals twice.

Last season’s EL run was amazing but we’re clearly not as difficult to beat as we were under Gerrard.

Did we ever play in Europe and not “have a go” under Gerrard?
I bet he was sat there watching us tonight like Don Revie watching Clough’s Leeds

 

[Kit_]

By having a manager who instills belief in his players against all odds and doesn’t tell them they can’t compete and shouldn’t bother trying.

 

[SpandauBear]

The manager has sucked the belief out of the players and the support.

We get it back when he goes.

But GvB was our manager during last seasons EL run. This is what I don’t get…why would you change a philosophy that is working?

 

[sprally]

Kent has to do more or get dropped.

 

[Amadaeus]

Lurkers out in force tonight.

With that attitude there would be no ( I was born in the late 80s) parma , psv , villareal , Lyon Dortmund etc so I'm not buying that

I 100% didn't expect to win tonight but what I did expect was after deploying the same tactics and getting rattled 4-0 at porkhead and Ajax that our manager changed his approach , increased our intensity and gave his players belief - 0 of that was on show tonight

Instead we had exactly as you said , we turned up and got beat

 

[Burgh-Ger]

These toothless displays stem from belief.

When we had it, went toe to toe with some very good European teams.
Now we don't have it, and even better teams are swatting us aside.

How do we get it back?

Yes, some very good teams.

This Liverpool team are a couple of levels above that.

The expectations of some on here is incredible

 

[OlegKuznetsov]

Look at the tactics and team selection pre match.

Negative negative negative.

That feeds off on the players. Beat before a balls kicked.

No belief whatsoever

 

[subversive_bear]

Jesus Christ!

 

[dh1963]

We're playing a team who've been in 3 of the last 5 finals,they are light years ahead of us.

I agree, they would beat us anyway. But we have become so passive and scared in these big games. It's not just tonight.

Parkhead and Amsterdam were the same, we looked beaten as soon as the game kicked off.

 

[Anoldranger]

Liverpool have in Mo Salah one of the maybe top 10 players in the world? One of the best right backs in the world. One of the best centre backs in the world. Spent 80 mil on a striker this summer.

I'm not Gio's biggest fan but there's nothing to read into tonight.

You are right mate but some of the clowns on here just can’t see the quality of opposition we are up against. One of their players alone cost £80 million about four times what we paid for our whole squad

 

[The_Degan]

But GvB was our manager during last seasons EL run. This is what I don’t get…why would you change a philosophy that is working?

We had some stinkers away from home last season too , Folk calling for him to be sacked on our bus back to Porto from braga for example .

 

[Pioneer]

Kent has to do more or get dropped.

Not deserving of his place currently.

 

[Siberia1]

Now we don't have it, and even better teams are swatting us aside.

How do we get it back?

This is the most depressing thing about these displays.

 

[Club Deck Craig]

I have no problem getting beat by Liverpool but that was another shite bag performance. Full of fear, terrible set up and lack of effort. Would like to see the running stats.

 

[sprally]

Not deserving of his place currently.

Agree

 

[dh1963]

Lurkers out in force tonight.

You're right, I'm a Tim in disguise FFS.

There's ways to lose against better teams. Being terrified, negative and only getting forward at the end when it's too late isn't one of them.

And it's not just tonight, if it was only Anfield then there would be far less to criticise.

 

[Derta]

The manager has sucked the belief out of the players and the support.

We get it back when he goes.

I totally agree with this and that set up from Gio tonight didnt surprise me. He is a coward. Sooner he goes the better for me. He has sucked the life out of these players with his idiotic rules and set ups.
Our players know what they are capable of and he is holding them back.

 

[jackstar]

I'm not Gio's biggest fan but there's nothing to read into tonight.

I think we gave it away far too quickly once we had it,maybe due to the urgency of their press,but the amount of times we lost it under no pressure was disappointing. We looked a lot more lively when the subs came on and maybe could've been sooner.

 

[Thewandofpedro]

First half we had chances to press off the ball and turn with the ball to play forward and we either gave it away needless, played it back and stood off them.

2nd half we were better. Subs were good, looked better on the ball and created a few chances.

Have to just go for it next week.

I’d rather us go for it and get beat 5 than play like that

 

[BallsBlue]

Ive seen lower league teams go there in the fa cup and give it a better go,it was damage limitation from the start.

 

[JD1872]

I don’t think the players have any belief in the system or the philosophy, I’m not convinced they even know what it is

 

[LetsGo]

Now we don't have it, and even better teams are swatting us aside.

How do we get it back?

How did we get it back when SG was in charge and 2 seasons in a row we were done by February to then have an undefeated league winning season, then the following season be down and out by October only to get to a EL final?

 

[Amadaeus]

Have a word with yourself. You'd think we were ten points behind. in the league. Unknot yer panties.
