I think the tactics have been wrong of late tbf
Sturridge needs the ball at feet imo and he wasn't getting that due to the huge gap between strikers and midfield. All he was getting was crosses from the flanks and was scrapping at half chances... He should've done better, but he was hardly getting much service imo... Look how deep he was coming at times
Firmino should be playing in the hole with Coutinho in and around him, but all Firmino was doing was stepping on Sturridge's shoes up there imo.
Can was the real passenger once again imo and recently I've notice how important Wijnaldum is.. He rarely misplaces a pass and shouldve been picked over Can.
Also Lallana offers nothing when he plays in advanced positions.
As I hate to say it, Klopp doesn't seem to have a plan B... And his style of play relies heavily on Mane creating space for himself and others..
Lastly Lovern scares the hell out of me and needs to be improved upon...
I must reiterate again I am not anti Klopp in this moment
Klopps tactics of late

Klopp has done well with a limited squad, there was always going to come a point when key player's unavailability and/or fatigue would negatively affect results.
He is the right man for Liverpool, but he needs significant investment (£100m's) to transform you from contenders to achievers.

Sturridge had the ball to his feet plenty of times but couldn't control the ball or was easily hussled out.

Think Sturridge needs to be off the field practicing his gay goal celebration - embarrassing.

I dont mind people qustioning Klopp as every manager should be held accountable however Klopp's team selections in every game this year including the last 8-10 games when we've been attrocious has been spot on ..the players he has selected should have dismantled the opponents that we have faced.

As a united fan Klopp is absolutely the right man for Liverpool. Great manager. Wasn't sure when you guys signed wijnaldum but you guys look a much better team with him in the team. Do you guys think you need another cf as things don't seem right with sturridge?

1man I don't necessarily disagree but it sounds like you are making excuses for Sturridge as well as making a point.

Since when do players come back firing after being in and out of the team.
Although I want to see more from him (and not just him the team too)... I'm trying not to kneejerk

Yeah, I agree but in terms of last night I think Sturridge is as much at fault as anyone else.
Besides that, I am thinking that a ball to feet striker isn't what Klopp wants exactly. I think he prefers movement and utilising space. Its hard getting the ball to your strikers feet when the opposition are packing the edge of their box.

Looks increasingly like a board that has never heard an anfield roar.
