Laughable isn't it. At most clubs they'd probably get attacked. Our fans aren't like that luckily but the club should throw them out of the ground straight away.

That game has become the most important of the season after last nights shambles. We simply have to arrest this slide down the table.

Not sure that's true about the 2nd and 3rd goals to be fair, I feel like Salah scores at least 1 like those every week.
4th goal Allan shouldn't get turned as easily as that.
Thought generally we looked as though we weren't concentrating at the back, or like we didnt know where we were meant to be half the time. Coleman and Pickford getting in each others way after about 15 seconds was just the start.
Second goal Digne was out of position high up the pitch… long ball over the top and salah has a free run in on goal .. great finish… third goal Coleman kicks thin air and salah is again clear through on goal and finishes well again… 2 defensive mistakes which led directly to 2 goals is how I saw it mate.

I wait in anticipation for their goalkeeper being charged for kicking a drinks bottle into the crowd.
Isn't hindsight a wonderful thing? None of those worked out, but to pretend they weren't exciting appointments at the time. Yeah nah. This forum was overwhelmingly in favour of all of them at the time (not Allardyce obviously), let's not pretend otherwise.
In all honesty;
1. I thought Walsh was a great capture as the scout who discovered Kante etc but was concerned that he'd never been a DoF.
2. I thought Silva , Allardyce and especially Benitez were terrible appointments.
3. I thought Koeman was a decent capture but was slightly concerned about his managerial record in Spain.
4. I thought Ancelotti was a wonderful appointment. I was wrong.
5. I'd never heard of Brands but at least he had been a DoF.

Having watched the game last night, and the short higfhlights today on Youtube, I offer the following on the goals conceded:
First goal: when the opposition are attacking in the 'last third', it is incumbent of our midfielders to be at the edge of the penalty area to cover any pull-backs to intercept/pick up any low crosses there. No one was tight enough on Plug, who was able to steer his shot with his weaker foot. Not the first time this season that that area has been bereft of our misfielders. Midfielder error...
Second goal: Two things. 1) When we are attacking, we need at all times to maintain a defensive shape and mark the opposition attackers who stay upfield. Sadly Digne was yards away from Salah when the pass to him was unleashed. After that, Digne was never going to catch him. 2) Pickford's positioning, given that every man and his dog knew where Salah was going to place his shot. Take a look at this screen print. Pickford was too far over to his (Pickford's) left, and left the major area where Salah was going to shoot wide open. He should have been at least a yard to his right, to give himself a good chance to make the save. Two positional errors.
Third goal: Coleman was given a ball to control that was waist-high to him. Terrible header by Allan. Not Coleman's fault in my view. Allen could have headed the ball to safety, had he had the spacial awareness required to note that Salah was simply going to take chance on charging down Coleman. Error by Allan. Into the mix, we should also put the corner we had, which didn't beat their first defender. That corner should have hgih right in centre of the 6-yard box, like every one of their corners.
Fourth goal: Good turn and shot, but stay upright Pickford, DO NOT go down in an instant!
At 2-1, they did look to be a bit rattled in the second half, and then we let them in with the softest of chances...
That sounds much more rational then your previous post
Not much there I can disagree with, and if we add in that he has spent half a billion quid of his own money (maybe not his own but the club hasn't been lumbered with that debt) and the new stadium, I would say he has tried his best for us, but hasn't got the results he has deserved. Yet.
Also worth noting that when those appointments didn't work out, it was Moshiri that moved them on and tried something new. Which I am sure he will continue to do until he gets it right
look at this awful team
There are 9 everton players back defending this play and only 1 liverpool player in the box
the ball is played between coleman and gordon and gets through to jota the only liverpool player in the box and he scores
utter comical defending
liverpool weren't even trying and still scored

Sorry but how you work out that Allan is to blame for Coleman's inability to control a ball hardly played to him at any speed i just don't get that one it was Coleman's fault all over. Agreed on the rest except maybe the fourth should have been defended better.
