Is Matip not fit enough to go 90?

He was really good last year.

Yeah, Matip's not being rushed. Need him and Konate back. Gomez has not been the same player since his injury.

These tactics simply don't work with the midfield that is available and having Gomez getting minutes. It's been evident from the start and it's tough when the matches come every 3 days.

I'm just not sure if Klopp is trying to make a point here or if he's just being stubborn. Either way, it's really annoying.

There's also the fact that Napoli are good, don't want to take away from them. They're fun to watch.

11 minutes of extra time, and it wasn't even a Liverpool match. Crazy.

TAA on that third Napoli goal—wow. Yeah, I k know, he can switch the play really well but that level of lazy is embarrassing.

He actually improved that part of his game a lot, but his head definitely wasn’t in it today. Hasn’t looked right at all so far this season. Not the only one on the team either. What the hell is up with Fabinho?

It reminds me a lot of 2015-16 Chelsea, the year after we won the title.

Our veterans looked like they aged overnight
Our superstar was terribly out of form
We had injuries galore
Our manager was stubborn with his selection and didn't adapt to his available players


With all of that said, I still think you guys turn it around now that Thiago, Jones Matip, and Jota are at least fit enough to make the bench.

Credit to Napoli though. They were incredible in that first half. Well drilled.
