Country: England
The result could have been 2 2 and it wouldn't have been a shock result. The brain farts cost us.
Do you feel like he tried to win today? We defended the whole game. We didn't do nothing. Emery is the one to blame.
The players on the pitch perhaps. They were set up to fail. Yes Auba and Pepe could have been more clinical but it's not like Liverpool were really at their best either today. Emery played right into their hands, Klopp adjusted at halftime to kill the game off and Emery did little more than Bolsonaro is doing about the Amazon burning.Eh? Our performance could easily have got us a point here.
Missed most of the match unfortunately, will have to watch a recording shortly. We don't have players to match-up yet, and new players have to bed in, but looks like we were still short on tactics, shape, etc. also.
Last year we did and scored one goal but still got trashed. So for you we played well? Matip and Van Djik handle the game very well. We did nothing. Norwich played way better than us. We went to anfield to defend.We setup to counter and nearly pulled it off. But we didn’t take our chances and eventually conceded under pressure after 40 minutes.
Veteran Luiz made a stupid mistake that had it been Mustafi, well...Chambers would have got destroyed today.
I don’t see how he’d make a difference. Some people are clutching at straws.
The problem was the coward tactics not the individuals.

He tried to counter attack them by ceding the wings and playing long balls into the channel. Percentage football. Wasmt pretty but we created chances in that first half. Now, I would have done things slightly differently but the gameplan was working OK until Matips header. They had no real clear cut chances whereas we had a couple very good ones we did not take. Had we taken them, narrative would be very different.Do you feel like he tried to win today? We defended the whole game. We didn't do nothing. Emery is the one to blame.
Damn I thought with super tactician Emery this year we would be invencibles again... this is shocking me! Really! What a surprise, but zero fault Emery, he is a genius!
Top post.This squad will be less successful than it should be because it has an idiot managing it. Even without our first choice LB and RB there was enough there to be competitive but Count Chocula thinks he should experiment against the European Champions. If you're going to set up in a timid formation against a team that plays wide then you don't do it by playing narrow. If Lacazette had started we'd have been much more dangerous on the counter and really lost nothing in defense as the fullbacks would have been too busy contending with Auba and Pepe to be standing in acres of space free to cross to their hearts content literally ever time Liverpool had possession. Truly shocking tactics from Emery compounded by a reticence to do the one thing he's usually good at which is be proactive with substitutions. Pitiful "managing".
Spot on.We setup to counter and nearly pulled it off. But we didn’t take our chances and eventually conceded under pressure after 40 minutes.

I don’t think Emery got it wrong, as others have said a bit tidier and we probably get a goal or two.
Looking forward to Sp**s.
On a bit more reflection I'd say he got it wrong just enough to cost us. I get what he was going for and it worked for a while. Xhaka being his go to CM is a joke. He should have made subs 15 mins earlier at least. Think he stalled in his decision making and you can argue its because Luiz threw two massive spanners in the machine, the tool.
We don't have the quality in midfield to pass them off the park, so a tenacious, mobile midfield may have been our best bet. Doozy and Xhaka don't have the incisiveness in their passing to be much effective in games like these.Top posting mate. That midfield is the one we should have gone with today. I feel we could have matched Liverpool in the middle of the park, then it would just be down to our attack to win the game for us. Laca should have started also.
