It's not even hindsight because every man and his dog knew it was the worst thing to do, but letting Mane leave was a ridiculous decision

Surely you have to judge each situation on its individual merrit, and bending your rules a little for such an influential player was the right thing to do.

Especially considering that a couple of weeks later, they did just that for Salah
----------------------------------------------------------------------
He wanted to leave, or do you know something no one else does?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ah was that the case?

The narrative I kept hearing and reading was that oiverpool have a wage structure and wouldn't break that for Mane so he wanted to leave because of that
----------------------------------------------------------------------
He wanted a new challenge. It was well documented

Fair enough

I have 2 Liverpool fans in my WhatsApp group and this evening 1 of them said the following after we asked why Mane left:

Think he only had a year left and they didn’t want to give him and Salah big money

Amateur by Nunez.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
He was utter crap all game.

Nunez played well. Made good inside runs and I felt he would have scored if he didn't was sent off.

Unless I dreamt it I think he’d told Klopp twelve months earlier of his intentions.

Actually thought Nunez did well up until that, was causing lots of problems and how involved he was is encouraging.

Utterly braindead moment of stupidity that’s likely cost us though so he can completely fack off for that the imbecile.

Summation:

palace threw away 2 points last night.

they dived, they rolled about they screamed when nobody touched them, they sledged and got a reaction

but... 10 men... they left 5 defenders on and never pressed allowing us to play 2 cbs v zaha and bascially let trent indulge his bale fantasy.


Diaz needs to be brought into the game more facing goal not facing away from it. that boy worked like a dog at 10 men but first half he spend it running away form their goal back passing.

Our triangles of support are missing. Trent, elliott salah. Now trent wants to just run into no 10 and stadn there. that doesn't work.

We have robertson trying to run behind (madness, it must be deliberate tactic now), no over lapping with diaz. milner was anywhere but supporting that left side.

We need a rest to the basics of the game. Our best moments came in the right wing slot when we actually did get advanced enough and trent actually stayed more wide.

Ali - 7. Had no chance with goal but made a good save when Zaha was through on goal
Trent - 7 - better going forward and covering Nat
Phillips - 3 - you can't play him on a high line
VVD - 5 - his running angle to stop Zaha was all wrong. Keeps refusing to engage.
Robbo - 5 - average game

Milner - 6 - started well but then faded
Fab - 4 - Eze kept smoking him
Elliot - 7 - bright spark

Salah - 6 - missed chances in first half
Nunez - 0 - missed chances and then let the club down
Diaz - 9 - man possessed. Already has goal of the season

Hendo - 7 - more control when he was on pitch
Gomez - 6 - more secure when he was on pitch
Tsimikas - 4 - crossing was poor
Carvalho - not enough time but almost scored the winner with that strike
