Probably, along with the now customary flail of the arms.

Skipp clearly called for the ball and miscontrolled it, bad bounce or not, the only other safe option he had was back to Romero who was the free man (and behind him not calling for the ball). Lol@blaming the pass more than the bad touch.
When Skipp's poor touch was pressured by Fernandes, Romero got hypnotised into ball watching instead of seeing Cavani's run and went far too far over the the left hand side, he only looked behind him when the through ball was played and by then it was too late.

How a professional footballer so used to passing backwards and sideways can't play a simple ball along the ground, instead overhitting a pass and bouncing it a yard in front of the recipient is beyond me.
Yes Skipp made the situation worse and yes, Romero was shocking. But the goal was all started by a shocker of a pass, then made worse by the performance of both Romero and Hojberg. One got attracked to the ball, one was too busy standing stock still in disappointment at what Skipp had done. Then rather than sprint back, Hojberg simply jogged back at his merry pleasure.
A poor pass doesn't go directly to a player, Skipp and Romero have by far the most responsibility for the 2nd goal.
If you want to try and blame any more people, look at the fucking lack of options Hojbjerg had when he made the pass in the first place.

You can blame plenty, but by far the biggest offense is the player standing with his head down like a spoilt 4 year old rather than concentrate on,oh I guess, actually playing football.

Self description I presume.
Well done, sir.

And its an actual trait with him. Despite all the posturing his head drops and he goes into "we're beat" mode. Jogging not busting a gut. I actually think despite his youth Skipp could take his spot.

Well, there will be none of that head down bollocks now. He, like the rest of them, will have to walk the walk, not just talk the talk. Conte is for real.
Try watching the whole build up of the move instead of taking a screenshot of half a second after the biggest fuck up in the entire passage of play and you might see the whole thing, including Romero running over to the ball there with total tunnel vision and the lack of options for the pass in the first place.
Who usually picks up the other teams centre forwards by the way?

that was even worse than the pass and poor control
Are we sure that ball wasn't meant for Dier?
Yeah I'm watching it back, judging by the pace of the pass, maybe it was meant for Dier. Bruno was already reading that pass before it's was even made, so it's hard to see whether Dier wouldn't be put in pressure situation as well.
But, the not tracking back is inexcusable. If he runs with Cavani, they probably don't score from this counter.

Are people really turning on PEH?
Don't forget the pointing. He loves a bit of pointing.

No, he's got some great tats, and incredible arm movement.Are people really turning on PEH?
People are not 'turning' on anyone this is what's wrong with world its not binary. We are simply having a non partisan assessment of a players strengths and weaknesses. PEH seems (much like Eric Deir the kind of bloke you're happy to call freind. Stable compassionate bright tough) bang average soccer players. Now there's room in a squad for players of this type Liverpool have a few. But they cannot be central to your plans.
I think, I hope, after a very MEH period for PEH, he'll be one of hopefully several players given a boost and focus by Conte. He could be a very effective player for the mooted formation change that Antonio will bring. I'm not expecting night and day, but im expecting what we saw from him when he first arrived. Combative, driven and a stalwart of the side.
Nothing like a change in scenery or perspective to get back on track. I think we have this now. This can also be said for Kane, GLC, Ndombele.
Time will tell on this whole situation, to be quite honest.

Hate him. He’s a 6 or 7/10 against lower half opponents but completely out of his depth against good players.Are people really turning on PEH?
Good squad player but fine to sell him, and bench him
