If Liverpool can't play well in BPL how can Liverpool perform in Champions League ? To lose by 5 goals and 1 man down is a hard pill to swallow for all Liverpool fans . Liverpool still do not know how to defend and well done Mignolet for letting in 5 goals . Really speechless and really shake head .

[Firmino]

Any manager who had the players Klopp have will understand there is lack of quality. Take players like Mane and Coutinho or even Lallana and Firmino out and the team is finished.

Salah needs more training on his finishing. All that pace is useless when you cannot put the ball at the back of the net.

It is going to be really tough in the Champions League as the confidence is now broken after the 5-0 defeat. So much needs to be done.

Today is a bad day for any Liverpool fan. I feel deeply ashamed.

By the way just want to find out if a player gets a red card how many matches will be ban ? Is it 3 or 5 matches ?

3 matches but Mane can still play midweek CL game

And Klopp can make up for this loss by winning big in mid week. IKWT

Salah needs to improve on his finishing or pass the ball to Firmino or Mane to score.

Ederson Suffers Suspected Cheek and Jaw Fractures After Brutal High Kick to the Face

Kavan Flavius
09 SEP 2017

​Manchester City keeper Ederson has suffered a broken cheek and jaw after receiving a boot to the face from Liverpool's Sadio Mane, per the ​Mirror.

Mane, who was sent off after seeing a straight red from referee John Moss, was chasing down a long ball after City's defensive line attempted to play him offside when he kicked the onrushing stopper in the face as he tried to bring it down.



Ederson was not taken to hospital, but was checked for fractures at the team's medical institute. He could be looking at a lengthy spell on the injury list, having moved to the Etihad from Benfica over the summer in a £35m move.

Sky Sports pundit Gary Neville has argued that Mane did not deserved to be sent off as his eyes were on the ball and the action was inadvertent.

"It wasn't one of those where you thought the keeper would get there first," he said. "It was a genuine 50/50. The keeper did do well to get out.

"His (Mane's) eyes are on the ball but his foot is high; the ball is there and the keeper just gets his head there.

Demolition and sad day!

3 points lost but its not the end of the world.

Jürgen Klopp offered his assessment of Sadio Mane's red card, analysed Liverpool's performance and backed his team to learn from a 'hard lesson' following Saturday's 5-0 defeat at Manchester City.

The Reds suffered a heavy loss at Etihad Stadium after Mane was dismissed for a high challenge on City goalkeeper Ederson 10 minutes before half-time.

That incident came shortly after Sergio Aguero had put the hosts ahead, and City went on to take full advantage of their numerical superiority.

In his post-match press conference, Klopp discussed that crucial moment and much more – including whether Philippe Coutinho is in contention to feature against Sevilla on Wednesday.

Read on for a full transcript...

On Mane’s dismissal…

An accident. A very unlucky situation. Of course, I think everyone knows Sadio did not see the goalie. It was not for one second that he had a look at the goalie or whatever, he just wanted to get the ball as soon as possible. That’s when happened then the red card and we cannot change it anymore. Hopefully the goalie is not seriously injured. I think in the first moment when all the people were on the pitch it looked like this. After the game he was in the dugout, so hopefully, as I said, it is not too serious.

On Mane’s reaction after the game…

He is very, very, very upset. We couldn’t keep him up, he was shocked about the situation and I am sure also about the decision because he didn’t think [it would be red]. If the leg is not where the leg is, you can also say it is a foul from the goalie. What can I say? In the end it is a red card and I am sure enough people will find enough reasons to say it is the right decision and we cannot change it anymore. Of course, it had a big influence on the game today.



On whether he was encouraged by his side’s early attacking performance, or concerned by the defensive display after being reduced to 10 men…

Encouraged? No. Because I really expect from us; I expect from us that we are more stronger in the first half an hour. Both teams did not really defend really well, both teams were not compact really, but we had a lot of chances. We were pretty much [hard] to defend for City in these situations, they had two yellow cards on the 18-yard line.

It was, in a lot of moments, very unlucky for us but I don’t think we have to think too much about luck or something like this because we cannot change luck. But we can change performance. I know it’s difficult after the international break because they played in different positions, had different jobs to do, different systems and all that stuff, so it’s always difficult, but I thought we should have been in the lead in the first half. At 1-0 it was 11 versus 11 and it was a moment when we were in possession, everything was good. City didn’t play too high pressure, they made a little bit of pressure [for the first goal] because we played the ball back to Simon and he could only shoot the long ball.

It’s a normal challenge then, a little foul on Gini I think, but then because of the long ball we didn’t push up and two players were around Ragnar and one of them could get the ball. I thought they had two or three similar situations in the second half and that makes no sense. I know we can be really good, so after we have spoken about this I will try to help the boys to ignore the result today – not the mistakes we did, but the result because it’s already done. We should have scored, we should have had more chances, Mo was three or four times on the touchline in the 18-yard box, or even the six-yard box, and you have to find someone, but nobody was at the front post, nobody.

They were things you can speak about and change for the second half, but then with one man down it was a difficult situation at half-time because I was so positive about the opportunity we should still have. Yes, with one man down against City, it is really not the best place to be, but we do it a lot in training – we defend with only seven players against 14.

They cannot create chances if you are in the right space and use the offside line, which we did not do around the second goal. 2-0 down at City with one man down is not a really cool situation. It was difficult, but we could have done better in the second half. I am not concerned about this; it was a hard lesson today, but I know the boys are good enough and we will learn from it. What we also need to learn from the first half is that we need to influence the game in another direction, we need to score here. I think everyone saw it, so it was obviously obvious.

On Liverpool’s performance…

Both teams were not really compact, that’s true. I was also not happy about this, but we cannot have these situations if City would’ve defended perfectly so you can defend not perfectly and still win 5-0. Yes, we were not compact enough, all three up front were not really involved, we didn’t jump in the midfield [and] go on Fernandinho. It was one, two passes, and Fernandinho could turn, that was the first problem only because Fernandinho had the ball and could play it to De Bruyne and Silva, but they didn’t create many things from this.

Against City, you can always come a step too late and then they pass through the lines so that’s how it is. We had our chances but we were at a maximum of 60 per cent – that’s why I thought if it was still 11 v 11… I don’t care about the result too much, you can create again chances, do this better and be more clinical in the other situations and you will score goals. Obviously all went against us, and the good moments we could not use and the bad moments give us the punch, so that’s how it was.



On the Reds’ midfield and defence…

Two weeks ago we spoke about the midfield and actually we have four in the back line and then six in these situations that have to defend better. Yes, they could’ve done better, of course, but we could’ve done better with the ball. Also in the second half, a lot of things – you don’t lose 5-0 when a lot of things are right, but it’s not that I’m concerned in the long-term.

I think if City takes too much confidence from this game today they make a mistake, if we lose too much confidence because of this game we also make a mistake. After the international break, one man down, young players on the pitch in different positions, it was hard for the boys I know, but we don’t look for excuses. I don’t think we had influence on the red card, it was not a foul but at the end it was a red card so we have to accept it, but we were not overly aggressive or something like this, and that changed the game today. We know it, now we can talk about all the rest, but… what would have happened if we could have played 11 versus 11? But I don’t have the chance to watch this game, so I have to take this one and that’s how it is.

On whether the decision to substitute Salah at half-time was tactical…

Yes. He is completely OK.

On whether Coutinho could return against Sevilla…

Yes

A lost in the early season, might be good for Liverpool. This heavy lost was a good slap on Klopp's face. Liverpool defence is still same old shit when he took over.

You talk so much for what .Ah Gong feel you also don't play well at all . Pui . Ah Gong will tell you to go one corner and reflect on your own performance before you say other people . Ah Gong not happy with your performance at all. Can ask Klopp to drop you to the bench and play the MC King instead .

Ah Gong almost got heart attack when I saw the final results . My buddies at the old age home say that Liverpool did not play well and gave up the game after they lost Mane . This most be the worst game under Klopp . Shame on team for playing such poorly .
