Massive game against Bournemouth, players look like they have hit a wall.

They look like the wall has fallen on them and squashed them the last 5 games.

Well the last few games were coming, inevitable. Can't say I'm overly bothered with losing, more bothered by the massive drop in performances in comparison to what they were but we haven't been at our best for a while. Unless performances improve dramatically we're going to be out of the Champions League and possibly even blow or at the very least make winning the title far more complicated then need be.

Big picture you're not going to lose the title and it is very rare for teams to be back to back winners of the Champions League. Nobody remembers how you win the title just that you did.

It's a bit like cutting your finger it sucks in that moment but I honestly couldn't tell you when, where or in what circumstances I did it, the last time it happened.

Grin & bear it because in a less than two months Liverpool will be Premier League Champions for the first time in 30 years

They look to be starting to run out of gas, given the relatively small certain starters squad and high impact style, not a surprise. But they've done enough to get over the line in the Premier League.

Klopp must have known it's a big ask of the guys to play at a high tempo week in week out, now he has to get the squad rotation right. Any thoughts of a double has gone maybe even a treble. I hope this morning when they sit down to analyse what has happened over the last three games, they will all have to do a lot of soul searching, probably a lot of screaming and shouting and work out where it has fallen flat.

I would agree, you CANNOT afford TO PUT IN a performance like you have done the last three games against Atletico, that would be unforgivable by many fans, and give hope to the rest of the league, that suddenly the Liverpool stream roller is running out of steam. The players know they can almost touch that league trophy, but ultimately they have to rediscover that spark that been there nearly all season and get it back pretty damn quick, otherwise everything they have worked so hard for, could blow up in their faces. Bournemouth is def massive, you can't even afford to lose or even drop one point there, let alone two or three. Lose that one, and I wouldn't be surprised if Klopp suddenly has to start questioning the player's mentality and toughness to even get over the line. Ian Dennis did mention in his commentary that the last time Liverpool were in a similar position, they lost a league and cup game, one after the other was in 2015-16? (or was it 2014-15) Just hope that history isn't about to repeat itself, let's hope that players have got a wake up call.

I wouldn't like to think you will blow the title now, It's just suddenly become a little complicated, but even so you just have to get that spark back that has been there all season very quickly and like I just said, those guys just have to re - discover that brilliance. You are just so damn fucking close otherwise that champagne will be tasting a bit flat. I'm just stunned to be honest that how quickly things have changed in three games.

would you question their mentality to even get over the line?

Maybe we won’t blow the title but instead of having wrapped up the earliest ever the way we’re playing it’s just going to drag and drag unless the performances improve dramatically. Not that I was overly obsessed with being invincible just wanted to get it wrapped up quick as, seen too many near misses. These next two months are going to be hell, can feel it.

Weirdly I had a feeling the two week break would fuck us, it always has in years past and we got knocked out of the FA cup in say round 3 and don’t play for like 2 weeks, hectic run of fixtures in December in 3 competitions no problem but a two week break is what fucks us. Well that and Henderson getting injured. We’ll get back at at some point just not sure when.

Suppose good thing is our next game is Bournemouth, not the best defensively, rather be facing them at home than most teams in the league.
