I'm with you. As pathetic and disappointing as this result was I'm not that worried tbh. Its such a crazy season where nobody can defend for shit.

I still think we are as good as anyone but our defenders are not good enough and let down by midfielders who don't help. Sissokos attempt at the first goal was pathetic.
Can I ask why?
When Aston Villa have the best defensive record in the league and Liverpool have the worst defensive record in the league, you know it's silly season.
We've actually defended relatively well, set pieces aside.
More interestingly why are you a huge Winks fan?
Why, what?
I'm never starting another match thread!
Why is that surely the serial winner should do something about that?
Your a fan of Winks? In a footballing sense of course
Our weakness is definitely defending set pieces
I think the international break fucked our momentum by the way. Son and Kane are so clinical that they'll still put it away given an opportunity, but all through the match we were making sloppy passes.
Even some people you'd expect better from: Kane was spreading play but putting too much power on the pass and making the receiver run out wide to get it, for example.

Didn’t get to watch because my son had a game. Think I’ll just avoid watching the replay. Was the OG bad or just bad luck?
Half time team talk from Jose would be interesting to watch, but as you say staying focused is the responsibility of the players, Nadal plays every point like match point; hide the score and you wouldn’t know if he was 5-0 up or 0-5 down in a set, there is no let up. My avatar on the other hand.........
I think the main problem today is that we have lost the focus and brutality that we had in the first half (possibly the best half we had under Jose).
Our strength is scoring goals and I thought we were a bit too complacent going forward. It's not like the pikeys have owned us at any time. They took their chances and deserved their luck
In my opinion, it was appalling.
Aurier Sanchez Winks and Sissoko are very very poor players that should be nowhere near the team.I'm never starting another match thread!
We will continue to drop points on a regular basis until they leave our club.
It isn't about the shot. Had that been a minute earlier he would not have hit it there. It was the final touch if the ball. But equally. Winks should be going through the man. Not sportsmanlike. But who gives a fuck. Take a yellow or a red but you stop that shot
