Ole is a huge problem.
The team looks disorganised and ropey all the time, even when we have won (Brighton in the league) and when we have lost.
He makes suspect team selections. Vdb looks good in the cup but doesn't play in the league. Matic is slow and bad and is first choice in the league.
Ole usually makes 90th minute subs when it's too late. Hell he brought on a 3rd center back vs Brighton and only got away with it with a 90+10 min penalty. Its embarrassing to get out played by squads built on the value of just 1 of our big transfers.
If we had their organisation and work ethic but better quality players imagine what we could achieve.
What actually happened to him?

Surprised Liverpool haven't signed a better second keeper by now tbh. They seem weirdly reluctant to improve their backups.
Done his shoulder after being tackled in training.

If we go in to the Everton game without Alisson then we have to drop the high line a few yards to protect him, lose against Everton in the same manner and all of a sudden questions start getting asked about Klopp and the team.
Alisson's not only a great one on one shot stopper but he's also a sweeper keeper. We have to adapt to the players in our team, not blindly plow forwards.

Oh right that's very random.

Sorry!
If our midfield doesn't press then yea, it will be a disaster. You said in your earlier post that Klopp was lost for words but he was pretty clear in what was our biggest issue - everytime we lost the ball it was a counter attack. You cannot play with a high line if teams are countering on you all the time - we've got to keep the ball better and we've got to be quicker to react when we lose the ball. Henderson has to come back in and hopefully Mane will be back too as they're two of our best players in terms of defending from the front.

Needlessly apologising for a comment Souness made earlier.

Firmino's usually the catalyst but he just jogged around tonight, you can excuse confidence in front of goal but not work rate and effort. Weird to see him play like that tbh.

It's not weird when it's been few weeks with him doing that.
Needs some time out, I think he is burnt out myself
Attacking wise hes done very little in 2020.

It's not down to any single player. You've got to press collectively, which we didn't do. There were huge spaces not just between our midfield and attack but between Wijnaldum/Keita and Fabinho. So many times Villa got the ball and Fabinho was faced with 4 Villa players .
