    Should we rest players for that game or give these guys a chance to vent?

    Yup well played Watford. Took full advantage of our sloppy play and defended well. Back to the basics, focus, intensity, speed of play. Let’s start another run.

    That was awful, and I’m gutted to lose the unbeaten season.

    There is not much more to say. The fact that we have gone this long without losing or without dropping points is unbelievable.

    Good for Watford. Liverpool are going to win the league. Hopefully, in the end, this loss ends up helping us to win the Champions League.

    Up the Reds.

    This was a total team collapse, even Klopp looked down from the start.

    When even Van Dijk makes mistakes, it won't be a good day.
    I didn't mind Lovren for Joe...it looked like we needed more rotation.
    We were not playing great for a few weeks and looked really tired today.
    Maybe this will take some pressure off and the boys can relax for the rest of the season.

    We need to watch that game on replay - embarrassing effort from almost the whole team. Lovren just make our defense nonfunctional.

    It’s football. Man City have 6 losses, Chelsea have 9, Man United have 8, Barcelona have 4, Bayern Munich have 4, and PSG have 3 in the French League.

    The thing that can’t be explained is how we have gone this long without losing.

    There is nothing wrong with losing, it's the way we are playing

    Klopp's body language is odd. I wonder if there is more behind the scenes than just a loss

    Don’t know if it would have changed the result, but we’ve been missing Henderson.

    Ever since the break, we’ve been dreadful. We don’t need a troll to tell us that. We lost to Atlético, just about squeezed Norwich and West Ham. We were due a loss. This, though, was utterly embarrassing.

    I don’t think it would have, to be honest. This has been coming. Collectively the team as a 3/10, with probably Oxlade Chamberlain and Becker being 5 or 6.

    I think Klopp needs to look at ways of managing long breaks.

    Klopp typically pushes the team through force of will. Didn’t seem to have it today. Agree this was odd.

    VvD needs some rest imho. He looks tired.

    It also seems the Deolofeu injury affected him and the whole team. Before that VvD was good and bailed his team mates out a few times with blocks.

    Strange game.

    Poor performance all round but Deeney totally made Lovren his bitch. Don't understand why Matip didn't start.

    We haven't been playing well since the break. Always had a feeling our eventual loss would be to a lower ranked team.

    This childish twat has been targeting us and Manure with his trolling. A mommy’s computer boy.

    We’ve never done well after breaks but this was trash. I honestly thought they would come out after the half faster and crisper and go for it. But we were just in a slump.

    Always hate it when people finger point at the defense. They were under pressure because our forwards, our trio were clueless.

    I just forgot Mane’ was on the pitch at times. The only time I knew Salah was there was when he kept losing the ball. Bobby worked his ass off but he tried too much on his own.

    We he have that monkey off our back now. Let’s get back to our winning ways. Get the quickness back in our game. They worked our right wing and found holes, that’s where Hendo has been working bolstering up that side when Kent goes up, so he doesn’t have to skamper back when it breaks down.

    Eyup! This team is human after all. We were shite.

    Sooner or later this was gonna happen. Full credit to Watford , they played really well and deserved all three points.
    Not the end of the world for us but we've been skirting around this kind of result for a few games . The coaching staff can now take a step back and reassess what is not quite clicking for us.
    I expect we'll see a few changes for the Chelsea game.
