[faridtoxteth]

[justme]

Nice solid start and take it from there. Firmino owes the team a performance

[Nineteenx]

Alisson

Milner Matip Fabinho Robertson

Jones Wijnaldum Keita

Communicaion Communication Communication then bum them into oblivion

Come on come on come ON Liverpool, come the fucking FUCK on Liverpool, patched up side, let's get the win here tonight and another vital 3 points

[Nineteenx]

Nice solid start and take it from there. Firmino owes the team a performance

Nice solid start, then bum them into oblivion

[miller0863]

Hahaha

[dicko1969]

Fofana excellent player.
19yo from the farmers league
I think they paid £35m to st Etienne.

France have a dearth of CBs

Konate
Kimpembe
Upamecano
Fofana
Saliva

To name a few

[justme]

Saliva?? lets hope he don't spit on the opposition

[RedNoodle]

Saliva?? lets hope he don't spit on the opposition

I've heard he's a right gobby so and so.

[LFC vs PFC]

Saliva?? lets hope he don't spit on the opposition

Apparently shit hot.

Loads of fans have been masticating over him coming in.

[RedNoodle]

Come on the Reds!!!!!

[Nineteenx]

Here we go Come on come on come ON Liverpool, get the win here tonight and another vital 3 points

[Nineteenx]

Corner here, straight on Matips head for a goal please

[Crimson Dynasty]

Could have been a penalty given, that.
Matip's hand did move towards the ball.

If Coote was in that VAR boothe, it almost certainly would have been given.

[Steveo]

The Foxes have some serious pace out on our Right side... it’s a worry

[miller0863]

Very good defending from Fab twice already

[Nineteenx]

Corner here, straight on Matips head for a goal please

Come on come on come ON Liverpool, come the fucking FUCK on Liverpool, get yourselves ahead here now

[miller0863]

Very good move but Jones maybe should have crossed

[3underpar]

Nice movement and a shot for Jones

[RedNoodle]

Arrrrggghhhhh!!!

Could/should have been 1-0.

[Steveo]

Why the hell is Jota out on the right Jurgen...? Are you protecting golden boy.? It is dumb as can be

[miller0863]

Gini tracking back well

[Steveo]

Jota - lovely strike... unlucky but close to Kasper

[miller0863]

5 attempts to 0, 3 on target is a decent start.

[RedNoodle]

I think Jota should have done better there.

[RedNoodle]

Why the hell is Jota out on the right Jurgen...? Are you protecting golden boy.? It is dumb as can be

Are you talking about Bobby? If so, he's never been great out on the right, as proved by the times that Rodger's tried to play him there.

[Steveo]

Are you talking about Bobby? If so, he's never been great out on the right, as proved by the times that Rodger's tried to play him there.

Yes. Ever since people were calling for Jota through the middle he has shifted him out of position.

Robbo again showing why he has to work on that shooting. It’s 3rd rate

[miller0863]

Dear me Robbo

[3underpar]

Can u have Wij play with a Dutch jersey? Maybe at least under the Liverpool kit. He’s a different player on national duty.

[RedNoodle]

One of these days Robertson is actually going to connect well with a shot and score a screamer.

[Steveo]

OG Johnny Evens..


Nice finish too

[miller0863]

Cheers Jonny, nice finish

[3underpar]

One of these days Robertson is actually going to connect well with a shot and score a screamer.

Before his testimonial would be nice

Yessss OG Evans

[Insidious]

Really interesting watching us without Van Dijk and Salah - that long ball isn't being attempted.

Also the lack of Trent means we're working it through the half-space a tiny bit more.

Ha, a goal!

[RedNoodle]

Lovely OG!!!!!! :D

[Crimson Dynasty]

Owen Goal.


Johnny Evans with a great connection to Milly's corner.

[Nineteenx]

Booooooooooooooooooom get the fucking fuck in 1-0 Evans OG, the dirty Manc

Come on come on come ON Liverpool, come the fucking FUCK on Liverpool, nick yourselves a quick fire second here now

[3underpar]

Shit thought we had another

[LFC vs PFC]

Best. Og. Ever.

[Steveo]

Should be 1:1
Walked through us like we weren’t there

[RedNoodle]

Cheers Jonny, nice finish

Goal Jonny, Goal Goal Goal!!!!!

[miller0863]

Jeez that was close, Leicester’s first attempt and very close.

[3underpar]

Oof they should’ve scored

[Crimson Dynasty]

Ball in the net again, but ruled out immediately for a foul on the Leicester Keeper.


oooof....close
almost 1-1

[Steveo]

Everything the Foxes do is down Milners side - Jones AND Milner out of position... hmm. We need to sort that before the inevitable goal

[CCTV]

Well done Mr Evans

[Nineteenx]

Corner here, put it straight on Matip's head for 2-0 here now

[miller0863]

Gaaa Joel, should have left it for Jonny

[Crimson Dynasty]

Matip should have buried that and made it 2.

[RedNoodle]

Yet again that could/should have been a goal.

[Crimson Dynasty]

Gaaa Joel, should have left it for Jonny

LOL!

Good one.
Nicely done.

[CCTV]

Matip with a headed effort

[Steveo]

Firmino’s passing is So slow and wayward...What is up with him...?

Come on - we need the old Bobby like yesterday

[3underpar]

Surprised Leicester is playing five at the back.

[miller0863]

Surely that should be a yellow for the goal scorer?

[RedNoodle]

That was some nice work from keita.

[miller0863]

Grief we should have scored there Bobby, should have gone with his head

[RedNoodle]

Arrrggghhhh!!!

I hope we're not going to end up ruing not putting one of these chances away.

[miller0863]

Sadio offside and a terrible finish

[Steveo]

Nice work from Bobby deep - Breaks for Mané - misses - offside. Unlucky

The Foxes are in with every attack on our right

[Nineteenx]

Come on come on come ON Liverpool, come the fucking FUCK on Liverpool, nick yourselves a second here now before the break

[3underpar]

Nice shot just wide for Leicester then Mane can’t stay onside ugh

[RedNoodle]

There is no way he should have found himself offside there.

[miller0863]

Our passing’s gone off a bit in the last 5

[miller0863]

Sadio again wrong choice

[Steveo]

Mané a bit greedy there. Great ball by Milner. Huge chance wasted

[3underpar]

Mane c’mon argh

[Crimson Dynasty]

Mane should have done better there.

He's getting a boatload of looks and chances.

[RedNoodle]

Us spurning these chances is inviting things to go pear shaped.

[3underpar]

Nobody passes to Bobby to shoot anymore oof

[Steveo]

Jotaaaaa

Never in doubt. Great move great ball from Robbo - great goal

[miller0863]

Now that was a beautiful goal

[3underpar]

Jottttttaaaaaa u beauty

[Crimson Dynasty]

Dioooooooogoooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[3underpar]

Perfect cross from Robbo also to a great finish

[Nineteenx]

Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooom get the fucking FUCK in 2-0 Jotaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa nice passage of play, Jones finds Robbo with the switch, brilliant whipped ball from Robbo and Jota buries his header

Come on come on come ON Liverpool, come the fucking FUCK on Liverpool, nick yourselves a quick fire third here now before the break now

[Steveo]

Long way to go still. We need another 2

[RedNoodle]

Oh what a lovely goal!!!!!

That was definitely worth a 'jizz-fest'. :D

[Artisan]

Just beautiful...

[CCTV]

Jota with a lovely header :)

4th home goal in a row :)

[Insidious]

Besides a few lapses, it's been a very decent half this.

Should aim for a third goal and should aim for a (now rare) clean sheet.

[Steveo]

Oh what a lovely goal!!!!!

That was definitely worth a 'jizz-fest'. :D

Started with a lovely cross field ball from Jones

[HLOGI]

James Milner superb. Curtis Jones best game in the shirt so far. Diogo a true predator. Robertson with a sumptuous cross. Leicester game plan destroyed.

[LFC vs PFC]

Jota with a lovely header :)

4th home goal in a row :)

Not bad for our third choice! (Mine included)

How are Traore and that Watford lad doing at the mo...?

[Nineteenx]

HT Really decent half, over to Jurgen to work his half time magic as ever and make sure we're a LOT better second half, get ourselves a third goal, keep the communication and all the players taking responsibility for organising each other going, keep control, get the win and another vital 3 points here tonight

[CCTV]

Good half 2-0

[eggy81]

Dare I say it, but Bobby has been outstanding. Hope he gets a goal to cap it in second half. We’ve literally just taken the game away from them when they must have though t we’d be weak today.

[miller0863]

Very good half from the reds, Leicester are no mugs but we were just too good for them in that first half. The midfield three have actually been very good indeed, love the way Keita runs with the ball committing defenders then playing through balls into the space or looking for the one two.
We look very dangerous going forward and reasonably solid at the back.

More of the same please reds.

[justme]

excellent first half.. need to keep it up in the second..

[Insidious]

Dare I say it, but Bobby has been outstanding. Hope he gets a goal to cap it in second half. We’ve literally just taken the game away from them when they must have though t we’d be weak today.

Would love to know what the coaching instructions were. He has been deep a lot, but not in a "bad" way.

Looks reinvigorated. I think he works well with Keita and with Jota as well.

[teesred]

Good half. Jones has been good. Milner class.

[Kev0909]

At least jota isn't hopeless at scoring

Lord jota

[Steveo]

Ok half. Milner good going forward - naturally being targeted and to great effect in defence. The Foxes could easily have scored in our net too.
Can’t forget the Evans OG.

We need at least another goal maybe 2.

No more BS Jurgen - Jota through the middle... Enough.!!!

[miller0863]

10 attempts 5 on target to Leicester’s 3 attempts and 1 on target.
Pretty good first half I’d say.

[Crimson Dynasty]

Not bad for our third choice! (Mine included)

How are Traore and that Watford lad doing at the mo...?

He wasn't even in my top 5 (or any list at all for that matter).

Just goes to show...
Whatever you think you know about which players would be great for this team...
Klopp knows better.

[ianlfc]

Everything going well and what a finish from Jota,Very Fowler like.

[Nineteenx]

Second half imminent, here we go, Come on come on come ON Liverpool, come the fucking FUCK on Liverpool, let's be even better this half, communication communication, communication, nick yourselves a third goal, control it, get the win and another vital 3 points here tonight

[southernboy]

I’d love to give Robertson a wee rest if we can get a third. Not sure where the guy gets his stamina from.

[faridtoxteth]

This level of press must be a bit tiring though. Bench doesn't look that great. think we will see Minamino sometime in the second half.
Curtis Jones been great. Fab has been great too. Robbo is just having his best ever season for us.

[miller0863]

Think Leicester will be testing our back four a lot more in this half.

[3underpar]

What an incredible signing Jota has turned out to be.

[miller0863]

Oh my days brilliant again from Robbo, Jota puts the volley over.

[Steveo]

Ooooh Mané nearly got in.

Barnes them almost in on the break

[miller0863]

Good defending from Matip

[Nineteenx]

Corner here, put this right on Matip's head for 3-0 NOW

[Steveo]

Keita down and in pain.. looks a goner. The guy is never fit.

[miller0863]

Crap Keita injured

[3underpar]

Naby “made of glass” Keita

[miller0863]

Nico Williams coming on, Milner shifted to midfield

[miller0863]

Yet another feckin injury. We really are down to the kids now

[Crimson Dynasty]

Nico Williams coming on, Milner shifted to midfield

This displeases me.

I feel like Nico will not be able to cope with that flank like Milly did.

And Leicester are sending all their attacks down that wing.

[Nineteenx]

Keita tweaked his hamstring, please leave Milner where he is and put young Williams in midfield, if he goes in defence tell him to keep it simple and not try dribbling past 3 players

Neco Williams on for Keita

Come on come on come ON Liverpool, come the fucking FUCK on Liverpool, communication, keep it simple, keep control, nick yourselves a third goal here now

[Insidious]

What an incredible signing Jota has turned out to be.

Wonderful player. If it was 09/10 - 15/16 period Liverpool I'd be worried about Real Madrid etc.

[miller0863]

Crap should be 3-0

[Steveo]

Mané greedy again and wastes it. Has to pull it across for Jota there for a tap in but - no he shoots and he fluffs it

[Nineteenx]

Corner here, put it right on Matip's head for fucks sake

[3underpar]

Fuck should’ve put game away

[3underpar]

Mane being Salah greedy tonight

[Crimson Dynasty]

How many clear open chances is Mane going to spurn like that?

[RedNoodle]

Mane should have made it 3-0. He's had enough chances to grab a hat-trick thus far.

[Kev0909]

Keita injured probably because of international break again...

guy can only play once a week at most

[miller0863]

Superb ball by Milner to put Sadio in but he’s not having his best day

[CCTV]

Mane should score that

[LFC-DPG]

Mane should have had 6 today

[miller0863]

How ??? How did that not go in???

Jota superb again

[Steveo]

Keita injured probably because of international break again...
guy can only play once a week at most

Should have cut our losses on him and Ox sadly. Now with injuries you see - you can’t depend on either.

[3underpar]

God how do we not right then

[miller0863]

Two point blank chances for Bobby and he can’t finish

[Crimson Dynasty]

How the feckin' Feck do we not score there?!?!?!?!?!

[CCTV]

Firmino should score there

[RedNoodle]

How the fudge was that not 3-0?!?!? :eek:

[Kev0909]

Firmino?????

[Crimson Dynasty]

Mane should have had 6 today

....or 6 assists

[Kev0909]

We could finish better ffs

[LFC-DPG]

....or 6 assists True, he’s had good opportunities to square to a player in a better position but took the shot on.

[miller0863]

Really really sloppy play to give Leicester a free kick there.

[Steveo]

This game is far from over

[Insidious]

We could finish better ffs

Would be amazing if Michael Edwards and the team were working on the acquisition of "another" Jota.

[miller0863]

What a keeper we have

[Nineteenx]

Great save by Alisson, Vardy was offside though

Come on come on come ON Liverpool, come the fucking FUCK on Liverpool, nick yourselves a third here now

[Crimson Dynasty]

Why does Wjnaldum always have to dribble backwards whenever he receives the ball (like he did just then from Allisson) - thus inviting the opposing player to close him down and leave him no room to outlet or get the ball out?


Leicester close to pulling one back.

[Steveo]

Foxes camped out on the edge of our area

[Steveo]

Ooooouch.... Gini takes a horrible challenge on the ankle

[CCTV]

Jota teasing Vardy

[3underpar]

Nico pls don’t fuck about

[Steveo]

We are giving lots of free kicks away

[Crimson Dynasty]

Nico Williams almost dribbled himself into major trouble, just then.

What the fuck was he thinking?

[HLOGI]

Nico pls don’t fuck about

He over complicates unnecessarily.

[Nineteenx]

Corner, put it on Matip's head for fucks sake

[Kev0909]

can't see leicester scoring unless we fk up

[Steveo]

Jota with a lovely run.. Weak shot - he is claiming he was caught. Klopp wants a pen... Not for me

[miller0863]

Seen them given but not to us

[3underpar]

Ouch Jota landed hard

[Balinkay]

That looked bad.

[Nineteenx]

Come on come on come ON Liverpool, come the fucking FUCK on Liverpool, nick yourselves a third here on the break now

[Kev0909]

Seen them given but not to us

Why? he shot first... then went into his leg

Not a penalty at all

[Balinkay]

Seen them given but not to us

Fernandez would have got a pen and the defender would have seen yellow. Definitely.

[Steveo]

Seen them given but not to us

This isn’t Old Trafford.

[miller0863]

What a run again from Robbo. What a fuckin player

[3underpar]

Good pressure

[miller0863]

I have no idea how we are not 3-0 up

[3underpar]

Only Bobby can’t score there. Says it all

[Steveo]

Bloody hell Bobby will you finish FFS. Jota puts you in - again...it’s on a plate son.

Bury it FFS.!!

[Crimson Dynasty]

Bobby is simply never going to score.

That's just......

Wow.

[Kev0909]

????????? firmino hello

time to start in CM and play origi

[CCTV]

Fuckinell Bobby Firmino

[RedNoodle]

How ... the ... fudge ... did ... Firmino ... not ... score ... there?!?!?!?!? :eek:

[Steveo]

Is it going to bite us on the arse?

[Artisan]

That's just bloody cruel...

[Kev0909]

Needs to be moved to midfield and start origi uptop

might get his chance with another injury in CM

[3underpar]

Should be at least 4-0

[HLOGI]

Bobby was unlucky there. Did everything right. Good skill and strenght the shot was also good. Unlucky.

[Crimson Dynasty]

If Bobby and Mane were more clinical in this game, we would be 7-0 up by now.

Easily.

[HLOGI]

Does Neco Williams know you can punt the ball deep and not play around in the corridor.

[Kev0909]

Is it going to bite us on the arse?

No they won't score in another 90 useless

[Artisan]

He's right where he needs to be.

[3underpar]

Jesus the goal decision system closer than the Stones clearance that cost us a title

[3underpar]

Bold by Ali

[Crimson Dynasty]

I'll tell you what.....


They just shown the replay and the freeze-frame from the goal-line and that ball was all the way over from Bobby's rebound.

That should have been given.

But obviously not for us.

[miller0863]

Really should be 5-0

[Steveo]

Bobby is pointless up top. Jota is making all sorts of chances for both him and Mané and they both look miles off it tonight

[Artisan]

Great goalkeeping.

[3underpar]

Fuck sake

[Crimson Dynasty]

Bobby Firmino.

The most unluckiest player to ever put on a red shirt.

[CCTV]

Jota skins a man on the break:)

[RedNoodle]

Really should be 15-0

Fixed for you.

[Artisan]

Wish people would leave Bobby alone, short memories.

[Nineteenx]

Bobby's been excellent today, BUT, should have had at least 2 goals

Mane should have had a couple too, he was absolutely on fire at the start of the season, him being slightly out of form in his finishing is purely down to Jurgen fucking about with his position when he was in incredible form

Come on come on come ON Liverpool, come the fucking FUCK on Liverpool, nick yourselves a third here now

[miller0863]

Yesssss Bobby

[Steveo]

Bobbyyyyyyyyyy


FFS.


Now remember what that feels like. Put it in the net... That is where it belongs.

[3underpar]

Bobbbyyyyy there ya goooooo

[Insidious]

Bobby is pointless up top.

:lol:

[LEGS]

Get in brilliant performance from start to finish totally bossed it.

[RedNoodle]

Get in Bobby!!!!! :D

[Kev0909]

woohoo

[Artisan]

There you go...Now shut the feck up ;)

[HLOGI]

Well deserved Bobby. His best game this season. Super header.

[3underpar]

That’s good for him and well deserved

[justme]

Yayyy well done Bobby youve been class today

[CCTV]

Finally, Bobby heads home from a corner 3-0 :)

[Nineteenx]

Booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooom shut the fucking fuck up bitches 3-0 Bobbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy yyyyyyyyyyy at the first time of asking ;) Get the fucking FUCK in

Come on come on come ON Liverpool, come the fucking FUCK on Liverpool, control these last few minutes, nick a fourth on the break if you can

[HLOGI]

There you go...Now shut the few up ;)
🤐🤫

[HLOGI]

:lol:
Lol.

[Nineteenx]

Just as I called it, good steady start, communication, communication, communication, then BUM them into oblivion

[miller0863]

We have been absolutely superb today apart from finishing. The fact it’s 3-0 but our finishing has been awful says it all.
We are on a different planet to Leicester, as is our manager compared to theirs.

And Jota, another incredibly good buy that must have the rest of the top 6 scratching their heads thinking how the fuck did we not see that??

[CCTV]

There you go...Now shut the feck up ;)

But Johnny Evan's finished like a pro

[HLOGI]

Supposed title challengers swept aside with ease with a depleted team. Perceived soft midfield and a striker out of form.

The nice thing Mane didn't have his best game, Mo didn't play and yet we could have scored much more. Well played.

[Kev0909]

half the team could be injured but we'll still win the league

eaaasy

[HLOGI]

Curtis Jones has stated a serious case for a starting berth even when all the midfielders are fit.

[Steveo]

We should have scored a hat full tonight.

Made up that Bobby scored. But it doesn’t make 3 in 23 much better. Jota needs to be the focal point from now on. It’s obvious

[HLOGI]

No one will say it but Gini was massive in midfield. Destroyed some serious ballers in Tielemans, Maddison and later on Praet.

[Nineteenx]

We have been absolutely superb today apart from finishing. The fact it’s 3-0 but our finishing has been awful says it all.
We are on a different planet to Leicester, as is our manager compared to theirs.

And Jota, another incredibly good buy that must have the rest of the top 6 scratching their heads thinking how the fuck did we not see that??

I saw it while a few here were busy shooting their load all over Traore

[HLOGI]

Matip and Fab amazing performance. Vardy looked lost.

[Steveo]

Matip and Fab amazing performance. Vardy looked lost.

They did keep him silent and so few do that.

[Kev0909]

They did keep him silent and so few do that.

More about the midfield too, lack of service

That Under is rubbish

[teesred]

Well that was spot on. Better than I think any of us expected. Outclassed them.

[miller0863]

Bobby was excellent today, much much better and he was really unlucky not have had 2 or 3.

[Artisan]

But Johnny Evan's finished like a pro

Bobby might have had an earlier one had Mane squared it...As we all know in the same position Bobby would have...Evans can do one ;)

[RedNoodle]

Well done lads!!!

Nobody could have said anything if we had won that game by twice as many goals as we did.

Suck it up haters! We aren't going anywhere!

[Balinkay]

Phew. Amazing game.

Three points - Bobby looked electric - Jota looked like a mini-Salah, Manè was well... Manè. Midfield did well, solid(-ish) at the back. Wouldn't complain but for yet another injury in an area that's starting to look like an issue - CM. Who'd have though it before the start of the season, eh? Or rather after we signed Thiago, but you get the point.

[Steveo]

Bobby was excellent today, much much better and he was really unlucky not have had 2 or 3.

This is often the case though. So why not let him play where he does his best work. And have a more potent force in front.?

I think when Klopp faces reality - it will happen

[Crimson Dynasty]

Back to joint-top with the Spuds (on points), but second on Goal difference( - damn you, Villa game!!!).
Swept away a team that thrashed City 5-2 earlier this season.

Oh, and clean sheet kept (great homage paid to a Liverpool great and club legend)

Not too bad for a team facing a massive injury crisis.

[Balinkay]

More about the midfield too, lack of service

That Under is rubbish

Ikr? That fuck we stayed away two years ago.

[Balinkay]

This is often the case though. So why not let him play where he does his best work. And have a more potent force in front.?

I think when Klopp faces reality - it will happen

In a 4-3-1 you mean? Think we'll see a lot more of that once Thiago comes back, especially against weaker opposition where we don't need the numbers in midfield.

[southernboy]

Over the moon with that.

Jones was very good. Despite the criticism I thought Neco did well in the circumstances. They are taught from an early age to keep possession at all cost. I think that’s why he over complicates things a tad.

We were probably fortunate that Vardy didn’t play /s

[CCTV]

Bobby might have had an earlier one had Mane squared it...As we all know in the same position Bobby would have...Evans can do one ;)

He scored the all important opener, cracking finish, utterly clinical.

We win with 3 headed goals !

[miller0863]

Bring on Spurs, looking forward to that one now. Top despite all of the injuries and VAR costing us two points at Goodison and we’ve already played Chelsea, City and Everton away, plus Arsenal and Leicester at home. 5 big games out of our first 9 with 8 first team era out injured.
That’s some effort.

[Steveo]

In a 4-3-1 you mean? Think we'll see a lot more of that once Thiago comes back, especially against weaker opposition where we don't need the numbers in midfield.

Yep. It will see a return to some huge scores in our favour I believe. That then takes pressure off that back line which needs protection.

[Artisan]

Matip and Fab amazing performance. Vardy looked lost.

Not many teams have, great team performance.

[CCTV]

Really nice way to end the week, class 90 mins :)
Roll on Atalanta

[Crimson Dynasty]

Over the moon with that.

Jones was very good. Despite the criticism I thought Neco did well in the circumstances. They are taught from an early age to keep possession at all cost. I think that’s why he over complicates things a tad.

We were probably fortunate that Vardy didn’t play /s

He did play, though.

It's just that it's hard to see the field from the inside of Matip's pocket.
The material they make these new kits from,....amazing stuff.

[Artisan]

He scored the all important opener, cracking finish, utterly clinical.

We win with 3 headed goals !

lol

[justme]

Hopefully Keita isnt out for too long. Thankfully we have cover in there. Hendo to come back and Thiaga.. we can always play Philips and put Fabinho back in midfield if needs be.Though would stick with the Matip/Fab partnership for a while And i think Milner is excellent at right back

[LFC vs PFC]

Thought we managed the game brilliantly today. At 1-0 we had a chance to break on them a few times but we slowed it up in the final third until our makeshift back 4/6 were in position.
Then when we bullied them into 2-0 we opened them up a bit more and played a bit free-er.

[Artisan]

Matip Fabulous Fab and Milner share MotM for me.

[miller0863]

Milner as good in his post match interview as he was on the pitch.
Great guy, love him

[Nineteenx]

Boooooooooooooooooooooom up the bum job done, Brenny's bottlers bummed into oblivion

A great team performance, so very much to be immensely proud of today, only slight worry was when Neco came on, will somebody have a fucking word with him about pissing about trying to be all fancy Dan when there are 2 or 3 opposition players converging on him on the edge of our own box, HAVE A FUCKING WORD

Midfield was superb, it is the first time we have been without Hendo and the midfield was still great and the press was orchestrated and well drilled, great team effort in that, but huge credit to Gini, he was absolutely immense

Defence was superb, no surprises at CB, with Virgil out that is my preferred pairing even if Sloppy Joe was fit, that's why I want 2 CB's in January, Joe needs a loan somewhere for a season, somewhere where he's going to have to do a lot of actual defending, or stay and be fourth choice CB and third choice RB

The forwards were great, should have scored more, but still great, Mane's been knocked out of the incredible form he started the season in by Jurgen fucking about with his position and the formation, today Klopp did what I thought he should have instead of fucking around with everything, had Bobby deeper in a 4312with one of the 2 always in that LFWD or RFWD position and one coming in a little and one of the midfielders looking to burst ahead of Bobby in the transition to make it 433

Mane is a force of nature, even though Jurgen's knocked him out of his stride, he is still absolutely brilliant, even if he didn't score, keep playing him in his best position LFWD and the goals will flow again

Really don't know who to pick as MOTM, Gini, Milner, Robbo, Big Bear, Bobby, Mane, Jota, Matip and Fabinho were all absolutely superb

All the focus as ever on the next game, getting the win and another vital 3 points

[justme]

Matip Fabulous Fab and Milner share MotM for me.

What about that run from Robbo? he looked like Maradona.

Some were already writing us off for this season, thanks to our massive injury list.

Robbie Savage predicted that Leicester would be the ones to end our Anfield unbeaten record (as well as vaulting themselves into a two-team title race between themselves and the Spuds).

I guess, we had other ideas.


The Spuds game is going to be huge.
Expect the usual dirty tricks and dark magic arts from the Maureen, but I still feel we should be able to handle them comfortably.


Especially if we get some of our starters back.

The twat claims he use to be LFC fan.. yet always backs Man-united to challenge for the league

[Kev0909]

Most impressed with the back4 today considering the best CB in the world is out and Trent!

Made leicester look very average, didn't see em scoring for another 90 mins

2-0 up I knew it was over

Milner still has it too

Also good job robertson, they couldn't defend against him

I love it when we prove people like him wrong.

Currently watching Patrice Evra on TV trying to avoid swallowing his tongue by giving us credit for the great game and you can just see how it's killing him as an ex-Manc player having to do that.

Absolutely love it!!!

The man looks like he's in pure pain.

[Insidious]

Wijnaldum had a quietly very effective game. So thankful for his ability to consistently be fit.

Clean sheet, 3 goals scored. +5 in the Goal Difference column, which inches us closer to that of the likes of Spurs, plus we're joint top. Also 8 points ahead of City - yes they have a game in hand, but we're in a good way considering the injury list.

Onto Atalanta. Get qualification wrapped up if we can, leave ourselves a chance to rest/rotate a bit.

A couple of days ago he asked Tim Sherwood "If you were in charge of a club, and you were given a choice, who would you hire out of Klopp and Rodgers?".

After asking that, any of those with rocks in place of a brain who were taking any notice of anything he said should now join the rest of us in taking what he says for exactly what it is i.e. complete and utter sloblocks.

He played for Man Utd. Hes bound to favour them.

What did Sherwood say in response?

I honestly can't remember. Even though I knew the question was about to be asked (I saw it on a YouTube video and was reading the comments), when he asked the question, it still stunned me.

Hes laughable.. I like Ian Wright he always praises us and gives us credit.
