Back three are getting dragged all over the place. 

Need to change things now I would have thought, but then I'm no manager.

Every single kick from Mccarthy goes straight to a Liverpool player 

To be fair, he also kicks some into touch but, of course, that still means they're going to an oppositon player for a throw-in.

Lyanco is garbage he just runs full pelt at the attacker and they sidestep him easily. Then he canters back, a mile out of position.

All three of the CBs are doing this.

I'm starting a sweepstake on when Lord D pops in with his witty Ralph crying quip... I'll go just after we concede a 3rd goal on 43 minutes. £1 a ticket

Might just be because they are one of the best teams in the world and we are not?

I’m sure the experimental formation isn’t helping

Ohh. I'll go worth 63 mins. It'll include something about son in laws and spilling claret in front of the old bill.

Really not a good watch so far. Liverpool just seem to have room all over 

We are playing Liverpool  but even so the way we are just sliced open defensively with such ease is worrying

this formation isn't working defensively, they look like they will score with every attack, but at least it feels like we have bodies forward/a threat in attack.

Yep, agreed. We look ok when we’re on the ball but very vulnerable when we lose it. Still, 1 down and sticking with it, at least we’re giving it a go.

It's almost as if they're much, much better than us.

Helps if you don’t try to go man for man for them in formation. Had been making good progress in being solid this season but today an exercise in very risky strategy from the manager, like the crazy stuff from second half of last season. Even BBC saying it will be a cricket score if if he doesn’t change it. What the heck are the coaching team doing? If the manager is messing it up, take control and get back into 4-5-1 and get to HT only 1-0.
