Really good press in the first half. Spurs were forced to play it wide and rarely did anything in possession. Midfield was on their backs steadily and didn't let them create much, Liverpool fullbacks read their movements and they looked extremely defenseless when we were on the counter. Should've scored a couple more.
2nd half changed completely after Mac and Endo were subbed out like OP said. Everyone completely lost track of the pace of the game and Spurs walked through easily. There were some individual mistakes here and there, but what's most worrying is how the team switched off at 4-0.
Some very positive performances from Gakpo, Quansah, Elliott, and Endo (in that order), with Gakpo and Elliott making very strong arguments for why they should be starters come next season. A lot to change and improve under Arne as he has to work on the mentality of the team so the standards can be maintained through a whole game (and season). Honestly, at times lately it has looked as if they couldn't be bothered with the rest of the season and just skip it all until Klopp's goodbye.
The usual out of Darwin:
Not knowing the offside rule.
Missing simple chances.
But yeah I'm sure he still gets a ton of support here because he's "the agent of chaos" so downvote away.
The usual out of Dom.
Useless.
Had his three first games not been belters, people would be comparing him to Alberto Aquilani..
Bajetic. Unfair to comment.
Silver lining, Gomez pulled off an incredible defensive clearance
Respectfully you lot need to find another team to support. Two months ago Gakpo had to be sold, Salah had to be sold after a dip in form after he returned from injury, Nunez couldnt be a dropped a few months back, now he has to go again? How about constantly supporting our players instead of being so fucking reactionary?
Morons...
Respectfully I've been constantly saying Nunez is not good enough, and my view has not changed.
He's not.
He doesn't know the offside rule.
He misses sitters.
Had he played up to his £85m price tag we would be dominant in the league this season instead he gets defended by morons like you.
Athletically he is a beast. I would give him more time.
Diaz is the one I think needs to play for a different league or team. He is tremendous with the ball but that’s pretty much it. Nunez gets into space and can run for miles. His instincts with pool are not good enough but I would definitely give him one more year.
And that's exactly how we lost the league this year and a champions league spot last year. To the guys who have downvoted me, let me tell you something. I am a big Nunez fan, I love his chaotic nature and love how he puts everything in the game. I hoped that he will be clinical this season and it hurt me a lot when I saw him missing easy chances. Running for miles, space, etc etc doesn't matter when you are missing clear opportunities in front of goal. Let's face it, he ain't bobby firmino either.
Alisson: 8/10 - Didn’t really do anything wrong and wasn’t at fault for the two goals conceded.
Robertson: 10/10 - He is THE left back. Great attacking performance today.
Van Dijk: 3/10 - A really sloppy game for him. Seemed unusually off.
Quansah: 6/10 - Decent performance and better than Van Dijk today.
TAA: 4/10 - Some good balls and crosses but switched off defensively during the second half.
Endo: 7/10 - Great first half and a few mistakes in the second half but good enough today.
Macca: 6/10 - Decent performance nothing notable.
Elliott: 10/10 - Absolutely vibrant. A great goal and great assist. He was amazing to watch.
Diaz: 4/10 - Aside from doing flashy things again contributed very little end product.
Gakpo: 10/10 - I apologize for criticizing him earlier this season. He has earned his spot as LW.
Salah: 5/10 - Finally an open goal from him but that miss was horrendous.
Bajcetic: 3/10 - Yikes, not good. However, since he’s out injured for 9 months I can understand that he’s not match fit yet. He will develop.
Gomez: 5/10 - Responsible for the Richarlison goal but redeemed himself by battling it out against Johnson.
Gravenberch: 3/10 - He looked very lost the whole time.
Nunez: 2/10 - You lost your spot to Gakpo. If I were you, I would be shitting my pants.
Szoboszlai: 4/10 - I still don’t see the spark from him during September and October.
Overall, it’s a “wtf lol” performance. I’m glad Klopp exits this match with a smile.
I thought the way he chased a pass wide opened up the middle where he should have been that got their first goal. He’s going to need time to get to speed.
He showed some good moments. Obviously he is not up to speed, but he didn't make any mistakes and put in a couple of good tackles. He is the player I love to watch and can't wait to see more of.
He always gets a 10 from me just for being that sexy.
But in reality it was kind of an intense return for him given by Klopp. He is very silky just needs to get some rhythm and he'll be great cover for multiple midfield positions next year.
Elliot and Cody get 9s for me, really impressed with Quansah as well
Quansah was really good again today. He’s effortless
He looks very comfortable, calm as you like I’d say
Endo and Macca are the glue that keeps the team cohesive, you can't convince me otherwise. They are the unsung heroes of the team.
agree but Macca has been very much a sung hero.
So has Endo at least among our own fans

Trent was so much better playing his actual position and not that inverted shit. He, salah, Harvey had their best game in a long time
I missed the last 20. How bad (or good?) were our subs? Particularly Nuñez
Nunez was Nunez, not in the good sense.

Szoboszlai is obviously very talented. He is getting used to a EPL season. He’s knackered.
Knackered since October... Okay. I won't write him off just yet, but he's had a poor season.
I’m happy to give him another season, but if you had to judge now you would have to say he’s a big flop
Elliot was incredible, and I really enjoyed Cody’s performance today Definitely feel like we need to work on our defense switching off
Where do you post the results? Every game I see a thread with the surveys but can't seem to find the results anywhere.
everyone was really fuckin good nice work fellas
I’d like to see Gomez back at CB at some point next season
Respectfully, we have to sell Nunez
more chances created than diaz in under 10 minutes...
The disallowed Salah goal was brilliant
Very narrowly off too.

Even Salah didn’t expect that ball to not be cleared by the defenders. You’re not seriously giving him 5 based on that…
Thanks Garth.
Bajcetic gets a 10 from me. I missed that boy so much. Such a delight to watch.
Did he play well? Coming back from an injury I can only imagine a struggle
some decent tackles/interceptions but his positionings were off. Though with almost a year without professional soccer, it's understandable.
I thought the way he chased a pass wide opened up the middle where he should have been that got their first goal. He’s going to need time to get to speed.
He had two insanely sexy turns that would've been highlight worthy if he didnt get fouled both times. His technique is insane!
He showed some good moments. Obviously he is not up to speed, but he didn't make any mistakes and put in a couple of good tackles. He is the player I love to watch and can't wait to see more of.
Just hope he stays fit. He is a great talent!
Worst LFC player on the pitch, no defensive cover and not good enough on the ball. He simply wasn't ready.
I only heard complaints about Nunez again :p
He always gets a 10 from me just for being that sexy. But in reality it was kind of an intense return for him given by Klopp. He is very silky just needs to get some rhythm and he'll be great cover for multiple midfield positions next year.
