Napoli vs. Liverpool | CL Match Day 1 | Sep 7, 20:00 | Stadio Diego Armando Maradona

He can see games out but not starting them. As a utility player he still has value on the bench.

Do we really need to add 4 minutes here guys? Really?

Yes when we brought on some midfielders who stayed in the middle, passed and moved and tackled, we seemed to do ok. Funny that.l

Thiago has helped that’s for sure

We lost to Napoli in 2018 as well. And we all know what happened that season. :wink: :smirk:

Remember when people used to say Thiago was a liability defensively lmao

Yes. But anyway, if there’s one game we can lose it’s this one, never won there and lost twice against them away, even the year we won it, right?

Absolutely, he is great at the last 15-20mins, closing out a game, with the odd cynical foul, but we cannot expect him to play 90 mins twice a week.

Napoli’s coach looks so relax, as if he is at the beach having a laugh. :tired_face:

100% right my guy.

Corners – every one of them the same. We have six all standing together. No one at the near post, which means the whole Napoli defence knows exactly where the ball is going, smh. Send one to the near post.

And I remember standing up for the shite that was spouted about him, and don’t forget that he slows us down :rage:

I think Klopp protects FSG, his employer by saying that he is pleased with his current squad (I don’t think he has much choice but be content). I don’t think Klopp had leeway to buy 1-2 players this summer on top of Nunez, I think he operates inside frames gives by FSG. We had a net spend of 50 mil and I don’t think he is allowed to spend that much more. And after Mane left, priority was a striker in Nunez. Should it have been a midfielder instead `? Perhaps. I don’t know.
That’s what I believe anyway.

Staying up until 6am was a poor decision for this game

I agree on that point. He always seems to do well in the fitness tests at the beginning of the season,.

Here’s hoping we won’t forget this by the weekend :laughing:

We drew the second half… woohoo.

Green shoots of recovery :slight_smile:

Broken collar bone apparently. He can’t get too excited. Doctor’s orders!
