For all that criticising Liverpool's defence is in vogue, the inability to put teams to the sword is proving to be just as worrying. The story of matchday two for them reads the same as matchday one against Sevilla: too many missed chances!!
Liverpool created 17 goal scoring opportunities in Moscow and should have demolished Spartak but the only one they converted was a magnificent effort from Coutinho.
Firmino, substitute Daniel and Salah all had opportunities to put Spartak away but, they all faltered when it mattered and another two Champions League points were squandered.
Next up back to back games against Maribor, where we really need to get all 6 points if we want to qualify for the play-offs, no more excuses!!

Fair comment. Their 1st gkp Rebrov in particular was outstanding unlike Karius who is shit. Klopp should play Ward instead if he does not want to field Mignolet.
