It's not that shocking considering they also took a punt with Ballotelli and to be fair Beneteke has got the last two winners. Would be completely different if Sturridge stayed fit obviously, but losing Ings for the season was the real shame, would have loved to see him play under Klopp.

will gently cradle you as time slowly ticks away.
At this point it's easier to list the recent signings that "worked" for Liverpool rather than the ones that were a total bust.
Coutinho and Joe Allen are the only ones that stick out as having "worked".

So much money spent on crap. I wonder if Klopp is starting to realise what he's got to do now.
Big fan of both Goalkeepers playing with busted faces today - throwback!

I know a few Liverpool fans that thought it was a great buy. I knew in my mind it was £32 million down the drain.

I'm sure Chairman of other clubs start to slowly cackle with delight whenever Liverpool come asking about one of their players at this point.

I think it's karma for keeping a straight face when Chelsea put in a transfer bid for Torres.

I still remember when Martin O'Neill was the Villa manager. They didn't set the world on fire, but IIRC they were always in the top 7. It's a good case study in how quickly things can fall apart.

Even Joe Allen is a borderline case.
To work in a FSG reference, Liverpool are looking a lot like the 2012 Red Sox. A lot of expensive but underperforming players.
What has the manager done now? Isn't is about time people actually take a good look at certain players, its pretty easy to blame the CEO when everyone is working like shit. General motors comes to mind from a few years ago.

Joe Allen for 15m pounds was daylight robbery. If it wasn't for Coutinho and Sturridge, the last several years of transfers would be unbelievably awful.

Martial! Young has been fantastic so far today.

If Newcastle had someone who could score they'd be 4-0 right now.
now? He should have been sacked weeks ago. I am not defending some of the players but it's Van Gaal who has to take responsibility. He is the one who is continuing to start Wayne Rooney when he has been shit all season. He made signings like Depay and starting him many times. He is the one who is making them playing shitty boring football and getting knocked out of CL group stage, loosing to lower teams and not winning for 6 games in a row. I have said that he needs to go even earlier in the season when our position was not bad, and winning today doesn't change that.
And another Schneiderlin like player imho

Chamberlain showing everyone why he hasn't been playing recently.

Arsenal fans are going to explode if the ref blows his whistle against them one more time. Wenger in a Tracksuit looks wrong.
No one is getting sacked. Just take a good look at Chelsea.

Awful marking on that corner. Not only was Koscielny allowed through, but Ramsey was completely open behind him if it spilled free.
Mr. Luchador

Well, it was only a matter of time Arsenal would score a scrappy goal after all the wasted chances Newcastle had.

Get in. We ground it out but fuck it, who cares. Can't trounce every team, and Leicester dropping points too. I'm a fan of Watford for this afternoon now, let's go Ighalo and Deeney!

Close from Fabianski. What are the best goalie goals? I can only remember Begovic from a couple of years ago when he kicked it from his own box straight into the opposing goal.

We played badly today and were second best to west ham for far too long in the game. The teams not playing well now but it's still the team that Klopp coached to wins at Southampton and City.
Right now everyone seems to be misfiring, I'd say with Sturridge as striker the team would perform better due to his movement alone. Benteke's movement is almost as poor as Balotelli's, but Benteke is just a better finisher.

Klopp looked angry at his interview. I suspect a few players who think they will get automatic starts will be sitting on the bench.
