  • I know we have a packed schedule of games coming up with Christmas around the corner, and Klopp will want to rest players, but Stoke is such a tough venue that I don’t think we will offer much up front, which suggests he is going for a draw or hoping to nick one with Salah or Coutinho coming off the bench. Solanke has been patient waiting for his…[Read more]

    What a night! Who does Klopp play on Saturday? Moreno, Milner, or Robertson? I would like to see Robertson given a chance. Moreno was back to his bad old ways. But not all his fault. The midfield not as good in second half especially Wijnaldum

    • Yes I would tend to agree, Wijnaldum hardly ever plays well away from home. It was a collective metal block thinking game was over. Klopp will have gone ballistic post game privately.

  • Coutinho, Mane, Salah and Firmino all starting – Klopp is looking to wrap this up tonight by the looks of it! Gomez coming in is a good move. Still don’t understand keeper rotation but it hasn’t done much harm so can’t knock it

  • Caught the game on MOTD and was so impressed with Salah. I dread to think where we would be this season without him and his 14 goals. We are on a good run now and with Lallana coming back we are looking strong on the pitch and the bench. It’s just a pity we gave City such a head start with some amateur defending and questionable performances e…[Read more]

  • James Holmes commented on the post, Kenny: the film 7 years ago

    King Kenny was my boyhood hero. An unbelievable player, right up there with George Best as one of the greatest ever to grace our game. I’m amazed he hasn’t got a knighthood but I have a sneaky feeling he could well do in the New Year’s honours. Long overdue. I can’t wait to get this film on DVD on Monday!

  • Great to be back after the international break! I just hope there is no hangover. because we were on a fine run of form in November. I am also surprised that Gomez isn’t in central defence today. I’m glad Manet was passed fit and think we have plenty of options in the team and on the bench to get the 3 points!

    Great to see him on the scoresheet!

    Slow in coming but we are on a roll now!

    Half-time and completely toothless against a team we thrashed just 2 weeks ago. A rather subdued Anfield tonight. Hoping for much better in the second half!

    • Totally agree with you. LFC need to get a grip. Klopp will go ape shit
      at HT!!.

      • Liverpool didn’t play badly, just a bit wayward in the final third – nothing new there. They could of been 2 or 3 goals up and then you wold say they played well against a team who seemed more intent on not conceding – playing for a nil nil

  • Yes you are right, our injury list is worryingly long at the moment and we are a bit thin! Robertson must be a bit frustrated with the way things are going at the moment. Last season he played first-team football week in week out. I guess that is the risk you take when you join a big club. Ironic though that it is Moreno of all people who is…[Read more]

  • I would have liked Sturridge to keep his place following his goal at the weekend. Come on you Reds!

  • James Holmes posted a new activity comment 7 years ago

    Dire first half made up for with a much better second half. Klopp proved right in restoring Daniel Sturridge who made the difference with his goal because up until that point it looked like it was going be another one of those days. The league table is looking a little bit better now. Champions League next! Come on you Reds!

  • James Holmes posted a new activity comment 7 years ago

    We needed that, and Sturridge needed that! That’s what a genuine goalscorer does, makes the difference when everything is going pear-shaped!

  • James Holmes posted a new activity comment 7 years ago

    I have a bad feeling, I think it will be yet another one of those days!

  • It never rains but it pours! Unbelievable, I don’t know who is worse Lovren or Klavan. Neither is an entirely safe pair of hands at the moment! Would like to see Woodburn get on for some minutes to see what he can do.

  • I am amazed that Klopp is sticking with Lovren. I hope it proves to be great man management but I think his confidence is blown and maybe he could have done with sitting out a few games. Losing Coutinho to injury is a real blow, and yet again I look to Daniel Sturridge to step up to the plate and stick the ball in the net. It seems ages since…[Read more]

    Our next game is against Huddersfield. I really do fear for us in that one. It’s all well and good talking about players missing, but the players we’re missing are not defenders or strikers, which is where our problems lie especially defenders

    • You can see Jürgen Klopp is raving mad, his words spoke volumes. Saying he didn’t want to create headlines by saying too much.

  • So many knowledgeable fans said in the summer we need a prolific goalscorer like Harry Kane, and badly need a quality centre back. Klopp and FSG did absolutely nothing and we are paying for it right now and it is quite frankly humiliating!

  • Game over! I can’t see any way back from this. This is turning into a really bad season. The shambles of the transfer window is coming home to roost.

  • What a diabolical start to this game! This is turning into a mini crisis!
