How so? Salah's been fine, it's the other two up front that have been woeful.

All three of them tonight.

I hope Robertson isn't injured, he pulled up there like a donkey in the national.

So is it gonna be a meltdown Tuesday then or what

Utopia Parkway

Played a lot better than we did last year but lose 2-0. That’s football.

dmigsy

Fabian Ruiz is a fantastic player

Umaro

Such a frustrating night - so many bad touches and passes in the final third, we should be winning this.

That Mane-Salah breakaway should've been a goal all day long. Gah!

citytillidie

lol that is typical of Napoli there in the 2nd half

monkey9

Jesus, we just can't score in Naples. Tonight, a 1-0 defeat last year and i think we drew nil all there under Hodgson.

54and56

Very poor night for Robertson. He's due one, it's forgivable.

Hardest game of the group out of the way.

Big wake up call.

Klopp will use it to everyone's benefit.

Napoli player is one who played the ball, Robertson then barged him. It's a free outside the box, soft pen but a penalty.

VVD believing his own hype it seems. Shockingly lazy from him all game - that second goal epitomises it.

Probably wasnt fit enough to play 90 minutes he looked fooked for that second.

Poor from Klopp not to rotate more. We could afford to lose this game with a heavily rotated team and go again Sunday with a fresh team. What’s sure is Klopp does not trust Shaq or Lallana one bit. Could even add Lovren and Ox to that.

Nah. We’ll be fine. Toughest game out of the way, move on.

Yeah, its infuriating. We really deserved the loss last time, this time we should've been cruising but the front 3 weren't at it.

BorneTobyWilde

Napoli always win at home, I never saw anything else happening. I just thought we'd change the system and play for a draw. Game was far too open.

Poor performance. Lucky it came in this game.

Not a penalty for me at all and struggling to work out what the point of VAR is.

Few lads off the boil. It happens. Won't be overly detrimental.

It was the toughest group game by far he was dead right in his team selection.

We lost a game, this happens, we will plow on.

I don't care about this result. Means little. We'll leave this group, that's the main thing.

Came into the game carrying an injury, so somewhat understandable/predictable. Just one of those times where we can actively see our lack of depth at full back.


Anyway, all in all, good game, and grand performance against a very good team. Disappointing to lose and to not score, but don't think anyone needs to be crucified over this one.

Somewhat yeah, we've still made the final in every European tournament we've been in under Klopp though so I think we can deal with it

NukaCola

Napoli are a very good side, toughest game out of the way, thought we done well for the first 80 mins, not a disaster but disappointing all the same.

I’d back us to win our other 5 games and go through top on head to head against Napoli - I still think we will mind

Napoli are a doozy team for us. Fair play to them.

They're a bloody good side. If Liverpool trade wins against them, grand. Certainly can't expect to go there and win handily.

Harry Palmr

Napoli are a good well drilled side at home, the front three were playing for themselves far too much, the links with midfield hardly existed and that is down to Klopp unfortunately, no Wijnaldum no control. It's not a disaster but the next game now is a must win.

The White Wolf

What a strange game. We'll chalk it up anyway. I'd say Klopp is dying to get a hold of them.

Where you watching the game at all?

He made some great defensive moves.

Shocking post, have been waiting since January against City to post it?

rob316

Meh not really bothered I expected a draw, loss no biggie it's early days. Thought we played well enough

BorneTobyWilde

Napoli will beat everyone else in group at home too. No big deal .

citytillidie

Salzburg game will be a big game now need to win that

Whatever about the rest I wouldn't agree with Ox not being trusted at all, he started 3 games ago, probably rested if anything.

MD1990

thought we played decent.

But we should have overlapped for cutbacks in the final third in the centre Napoli were very compact.

Penalty very poor decision.

Osmosis Jones

Funny enough this same ref has had problems with VAR before, got sent home from the last World Cup for failing to use it in big decisions:

No meltdown but I thought it was a clear peno.

Couldn't believe the split in opinion here. Have to check it again.

EDIT: hmmmm, there's bit of a fall beforehand alright.

I wouldn't be getting hung up on that quite yet. Yes, we were awful in the group stages last year on the road, but won well in Munich and Porto.

Napoli are a very good team. We wouldn't be losing our heads if we'd lost away to Man City or Spurs or Dortmund etc.

Let's see how we got on in Belgium and Austria.

Napoli are a really really good side managed by one of the greatest managers of all time it is no shock or upset to lose away to them.

Hope this doesn't put the wobblers on us now for sunday

If it helps how you feel Chelsea lost at home to a team nowhere good as Napoli that sacked their coach a week ago.

Just a bit.

Ross Barkley also ripped the ball away from Willian so he could take a late penalty and then hoofed it over the bar.

.G.

Few good saves from Adrian and a worldie second half one too, front three won't all be as bad again you'd expect. Win the home games and Genk away and the job is done.

VAR needs binning if its just going to compound referring mistakes rather than correct them. It's like they don't want to grass on their mates.

monkey9

I can't believe the amount of people moaning about the penalty. What does Robertson expect when he just dangles a leg out like that in the box? Unless he wins the ball, it's tough sh!t.

Players are always going to make the most of it. There doesn't HAVE to be contact. It's not up to the Napoli player to just hurdle a leg and do Robertson a favour.

It's the same when a keeper comes rushing out. Unless he wins the ball, he's giving away a penalty all day long.

It's a penalty. No doubt about it.
