Acting as instructed by our clueless clown
of a manager!“Play the high line”
“Don’t worry about defending “
“They’ll get two but we’ll get three”
“Mate”
In fairness; I was expecting more ; and to contradict you ( again) we got less than bugger all ( which is more than we deserved TBF ) .
Otherwise; agree with your post 100% !
What part of Ireland you from?
Kept happening at Anfield while other areas of the pitch were devoid of any of our players!
I would like to see
Mrs Perryman
put in charge of the team , we would go down swinging at least .

How does this happen at this level at all, let alone inside the first minute of the match? Four players recklessly running after the ball after being caught off guard initially, yet still leaving the simplest pass available for Rodgers to make. Similar stuff kept happening over the course of the whole match by the way, with Kinsky keeping the scoreline respectable.
These players can't press because they have not been taught how to, not because they lack the physical attributes or the desire. Redknapp would be proud of how much they run around, but it doesn't keep them from being torn apart against any team that can string three passes together.

That shot speaks volumes about our coaching and organisation!
I hope this clueless clown
gets fired by lunchtime tomorrow!FWIW : I watched, disbelieving in a pub . Couldn’t imagine we’d be that bad
Maybe it was where the pitch side microphones were located ; but it sounded like a home game to my ears .
Whoever is on the coach with you ; let them all know that
( irrespective of events on the pitch ) you’re a credit to your Club and then some .
They / We are VERY lucky to have you ( all ) .
This is even worse than the first goal. All 3 CMs (Bergvall-Bentancur-Kulusevski) ending up right next to each other trying to press all the way up the pitch, yet the player who is about to receive the ball has a simple pass to make (to #8). As can be expected, in a couple of seconds, it turns into this;
All the aforementioned three, being caught behind the play, are desperately trying to get back to no avail. The player closest to the opponent (Moore?) is putting up a valiant effort even though it's not his job. Worried about the two runners, rightfully so, back 4 starts to backpedal instead of stepping up. So it ends up like this;
This sort of stuff kept happening over and over again, so this is not me cherrypicking a one off incident. This has nothing to do with injuries, tired legs, or poor quality in general. Just coaching, or lack thereof.

Belfast. I'd argue that Belfast is more similar to Liverpool than Dublin is to Glasgow. Less sectarianism in Liverpool though.
He's certainly better and more useful than Bissouma, I'll give him that.
Is this one of those posts where you laugh or you cry,??I just recalled that he started Mikey Moore
I just recalled he played Son CF
I just remembered he played Porro
I just remembered he played Spence LB and had TWO actual left backs on the bench
Kinsky
I ended up watching Michael McIntyre to cheer me up on the way home.
After 10 minutes realised it was going to be a disaster so started messing around with my I -pad and Facebook and I hate doing that!!!
Like kids football this.

Fascinating and relevant; to things that have nothing to do with the abject spectacle we witnessed today.
To bring it back on topic : we’re the Titanic ( brilliantly engineered and constructed - in Belfast) ; yet owned by a vainglorious shipping company and commanded by an unproven arrogant and ultimately self-defeating Captain.
There ; we’re back on track .
I am not sure whereabouts in Belfast you grew up mate but as far as I know there has only been two ROI players that ever played for Rangers. Davis, Lafferty etc are not from 'The Island of Ireland' - they are NI internationals and consider themselves British. To say that Rangers have 'Irish influence' in any way shape or form is just plain wrong unless you are trying to make some kind of political point about NI.
You are talking shite sir.
