The Anfield Wrap
Liverpool 1-1 Chelsea: The Anfield Wrap

Yeah, and none of those shots come from our attackers, if I'm correct in remembering that.

The Anfield Wrap

Sobuzla has a fair few goes.

The Anfield Wrap

I think Frimpong might have been one of them, so technically.

The Anfield Wrap
Liverpool 1-1 Chelsea: The Anfield Wrap

Okay, yeah.

The Anfield Wrap
Liverpool 1-1 Chelsea: The Anfield Wrap

But I mean, he's not... Yeah, it's back to the horrible phrase that I rue.

The Anfield Wrap
Liverpool 1-1 Chelsea: The Anfield Wrap

I can't stand it anymore, mitigating circumstances.

The Anfield Wrap
Liverpool 1-1 Chelsea: The Anfield Wrap

Of course, we didn't have any forwards...

The Anfield Wrap
Liverpool 1-1 Chelsea: The Anfield Wrap

um we're missing four forwards and we've only we've only really got one up there um in real ingamoa who's playing in his position obviously gackt was central and then you've essentially got a wing back or a right back at right wing who time and time again time and time again hasn't really

proven as worth for me in that position.

The Anfield Wrap
Liverpool 1-1 Chelsea: The Anfield Wrap

It's something that's quite frustrating me and you spoke last week, Neil, and I was saying that I wanted something a little bit different out there so that we could play him from that position at right back so we could get a little bit more of his overlapping and underlapping runs, use a bit more of his pace, a little bit more

wisely and you know, you do have to feel sorry for the manager in that there's no forwards but what I'm looking for in a Liverpool performance is for us to have an opportunity in front of us and go for it and it seems that there's no principles there to set up a team to win a game of football and that's where I'm sort of struggling where if your principles aren't on show despite being, you know, lacking four forwards maybe you change your shape

The Anfield Wrap
Liverpool 1-1 Chelsea: The Anfield Wrap

This passive mid blocks just seems absolutely bonkers to me.

The Anfield Wrap
Liverpool 1-1 Chelsea: The Anfield Wrap

I don't really understand why we keep doing the same thing.

The Anfield Wrap
Liverpool 1-1 Chelsea: The Anfield Wrap

It's not even the fact that we're missing four forwards.

The Anfield Wrap
Liverpool 1-1 Chelsea: The Anfield Wrap

It's the fact that we still can't get the ball to our forwards.

The Anfield Wrap
Liverpool 1-1 Chelsea: The Anfield Wrap

I mean, Cody Gakpo has about 10 touches on 60 or something like that.

It's just a real mess.
