Ineffective midfield ! TAA was playing long ball the whole game! Stoke defenders and GK were all tall towers! Just look at salah, out muscled by the big man!:D

Re: Liverpool Fc @ Anfield - Reds Supporters Gatherings
 

Can't totally blame TAA , Ah Gong believed not entirely his fault he follow his manager's instructions . Also now Liverpool have lack of senior midfield players due to injury .

Re: Liverpool Fc @ Anfield - Reds Supporters Gatherings
 

Senior got la! Keep to play Roma ! If ah kloop played them yesterday, most of them will Kena bulldozed by stoke 's rough playing style! Their gorrilas were Beri Hiong de!:D Now 4th place is hanging in the air and some fansee still dream of getting the 2nd spot!:D

Re: Liverpool Fc @ Anfield - Reds Supporters Gatherings
 

Really another disappointing and boring game. Didn't watch the match as I know what the outcome will be . Did the referee kelong ? This match further shows how thin Liverpool squad is . Also the quality on the bench seemed to be lacking . If Liverpool is going to challenge for trophies next season Liverpool need to have another 12 quality players in every position. I really do hope Liverpool can qualify for Champions League next season .

Re: Liverpool Fc @ Anfield - Reds Supporters Gatherings
 

Oh no Zeljko Buvac resign from Liverpool FC .:eek:

Re: Liverpool Fc @ Anfield - Reds Supporters Gatherings
 

Now Ah Gong began to worry if Liverpool can finish in the top 4 or not . :eek:

Ah Gong is half right, "The Brain" won't be around for Ah Klopp's biggest game or should i say the biggest week in Ah Klopp trophy-less Liverpool's career.

Liverpool’s preparations for this week’s Champions League tie in Roma have taken a significant blow as one of Jurgen Klopp’s most trusted assistants will be an absentee in Italy and is on the verge of leaving the club.
Bosnian Zeljko Buvac will not be part of the squad heading to Rome for this week's Champions League second leg. The players were informed of the change in the backroom team at training on Sunday.
It is a huge surprise and far from ideal preparation for the game against AS Roma.

Liverpool say Buvac has decided to take some time away from the first team environment until the end of the season ‘for personal reasons’. They say he remains a club employee, but the timing is extraordinary. The fact he will not be around for the biggest game of Klopp’s reign – and Liverpool’s most significant for over 10 years – suggests his future is elsewhere.
The Merseyside club will feel the departure of Buvac, who started working alongside Klopp at the start of the Liverpool manager’s coaching career.
Klopp has previously spoken of his coaching set-up coming as a team. When he signed the extension to his Liverpool deal in the summer of 2016, he insisted Buvac and coach Peter Krawietz be given the same six-year extension.

Buvac and Krawietz have been described as the ‘brain’ and ‘eye’ in Klopp’s coaching unit. They worked with him at Mainz and followed him to Borussia Dortmund and Anfield.
It is known Klopp has been considering tweaks in his backroom team throughout this season, especially in the physiotherapy department. In October, the head of physiotherapy Andy Renshaw left the club and there have been ongoing discussions about how to improve the department.
Liverpool indicate there are ‘personal reasons’ behind Zeljko’s exit.
Liverpool fans will be worried history is repeating itself as they await clarification if Zeljko's absence is temporary or permanent. It seems whenever Liverpool enjoy a stunning European run, the tranquillity is upset behind the scenes.

In 2001, after Gerard Houllier’s side won the treble including the UEFA Cup, he lost his assistant Patrice Bergues, a key architect in rebuilding the squad for the previous two years.
Although the significance of his decision to return to France was played down at the time, Houllier would later try to bring him back as he could not establish the same trust with his replacements. His 2001 success was never replicated.

There was similar upheaval the last time Liverpool reached the Champions League final in 2007. Rafa Benitez arrived at Anfield with an impressive backroom team including assistant manager Pako Ayesteran. Ayesteran was considering his position by the summer of 2007 and left shortly after.

Klopp will address the media in Rome on Tuesday. No matter how much the significance of Zeljko's exit is played down, there is no doubt this is worrying development as Liverpool seek a place in the Champions League final without a figure who Klopp himself as often stated crucial to his journey as a coach.

Re: Liverpool Fc @ Anfield - Reds Supporters Gatherings
 

I should think the biggest concern at the moment is still the injuries issue, especially in the midfield department.

That said Buvac is a key member of Klopp's coaching team. Must be a very serious dispute between the two, assuming the report is true, as both go back a very long time, all the way to their playing days together with Mainz.

Hold on to your hats, as the next seven days is going to be one helluva ride!!

Re: Liverpool Fc @ Anfield - Reds Supporters Gatherings
 

It is good Liverpool have come out to address Buvac's situation.
The club stated he is leaving because of personal reason and will be unavailable for the rest of the season not resigning.
Unfortunately it has come at a wrong time and might shift the focus of the players.
Also we are not sure if he will stay beyond the summer and if Klopp and Buvac did has a problem like Benitez and Ayestaran.

We need the fully concentrate on Roma because the referee involve Damir Skomina is a jinx! :rolleyes:

Re: Liverpool Fc @ Anfield - Reds Supporters Gatherings
 

U guys read about Salah’s punching incident in stoke game n possibility of suspension???

Is it FAKE NEWS???

Re: Liverpool Fc @ Anfield - Reds Supporters Gatherings
 

The mounting injuries are a main concern right now . It just shows that Liverpool still lack quality and depth . As what I have said earlier Liverpool need another 12 quality players to replace those who are injured . It will be nail baiting finish to the last game . Lets hope the team can finish the job in Roma .

Re: Liverpool Fc @ Anfield - Reds Supporters Gatherings
 

I was the 1 predicting Liverpool 5 or 6th position and never 2nd. Beginning of the yr, Liverpool did better than I expected but now a bit puncture..... this coming, Chelsea vs Liverpool will be interesting, it will determine whether Liverpool can stop Chelsea from next season CL. 2 tough matches with so many injuries.... hopefully Klopp beats my prediction.

Re: Liverpool Fc @ Anfield - Reds Supporters Gatherings
 

I and you are a more down to earth fansee! Unlike some 妙想天开 fansee! Refused to face realility! They are in self denial that ah klopp is Infact a 狂妄 manager! I do hope pool stays in 4th place! Played two more games than nearest rivals and lost 4 points from the possible six! Yawnzzzz !:rolleyes:
