Lack of quality up front

Because he's playing in a position he's not played before when he got moved back into the middle for the 2nd half he was alright before he got hooked.
Some won't see that. It was a mistake to play Aribo wide. He's not a wide player. He had no chance.
 
I've backed Ojo so far but today he was embarrassing. Looks worse than Kent and if he keeps that up we should be thinking of sending him back
100% agree he looks to be another ejaria, shirts too heavy. Scored a few goals which papered over the cracks at the start of the season but he was a shitebag today, an absolute waste of space
 
We haven’t improved the forward line from last season. If anything it’s regressed. Ojo and Jones aren’t an upgrade on Candeias and Kent.

Spending £3.5M on a centre half when the wide areas were obviously needing improved just seems madness to me.
Have to agree.
 
Defoe is 36 and doesn’t know how to stay onside.

Thank f.cuk someone else says it. Goes unnoticed how often he is caught offside. He was cancelled out of the game today. You comepare their midfielders to ours. Not once is Eduoard isolated there are constantly providing him service and going beyond him.
 
I’ve got as much chance playing for Liverpool as Ojo.
Don’t know why they just don’t sell him and be done with it.
People on here saying he is better than Kent need their head looked.

I think Ojo has the quality in terms of ability to score & create. He has roughly what Kent got all of last season.

But the strength of character & determination is needing dramatic improvement imo.

Still accept your overall point.
 
We were told we were adding to improve the squad then we would add genuine quality.

So far this window we added a Liverpool reserve player, 2 players who started at Kilmarnock last season, a guy who had half a season at Motherwell and someone who couldn't get a start for Hibs a couple of years ago.
 
The managers soft spot for Flanagan is a huge problem for us when it comes to going forward / especially in formation played today

No left foot so has to turn in, tims knew he wasn’t going to go forward down the byline , so much easier to defend against

Ultimately however, money talks , and Edouard was the real difference today (& he is the most expensive player on the pitch )we almost got away with our formation / player selection but for him, nobody else for the tims looked like doing anything and needed error by goldson to get them the goal (the second was just us chasing the game)

very disappointing game from our side , European comedown and feeling of what if by not going with Morelos / Jones from start and going for them from the off,

sadly real questions marks about the formation / players when we play higher standard of team, as Tav getting hung out to dry down his side imho

Left back position should’ve been addressed , can’t get away with a natural right back over there with no left foot playing as cover against the more organised / profession / cynical team like the tims

To be fair to Flanagan he did his job today. Was solid defensively and kept Quasimodo out of the game. If you’re going to play a defensive full back you need someone out wide who can attack. Line up just didn’t make sense.
 
I think Gerrard was banking on getting Kent at some stage. The whole saga has been up to this stage farcical from both sides imo.

Ojo does look a great talent but he's up here to get experience and consistently and he will blow hot and cold that's the risk you take by giving loan players massive roles in prominent positions.

Other than Morelos and Defoe and outwith Ojo the rest of our forward line is highly questionable and lacking quality.

he looks fucking awful
 
We're fine. Could do with, Kent. But we are fine.

Questions will be asked when Hivs, the sheep or whoever else beats us.

It is what it is.
