Phew, thought he took a knock
What a save! Nice positioning again.
I donât know why you guys are so hard on him, heâs actually quite a nice bloke when we started chatting outside of TIA. Speaking of which, where is @red_jedi and @ptt?
Alisson will be raising his eyebrow soon at this lad
Origi been a bit crap but at least he looks interested. Heâs trying hard. Looks like Jurgen gave him a rocket after the last (hesitate to say) effort.
Taki trying hard too, lacking quality. Getâs shrugged off the ball easily. Looks surprised every time the ball comes near him.
Fabs clearance was good but, there was an offside, then a push on TAA so wouldnât have counted.
"Leighton is one of the biggest talents in our club.
âHe can play 6 or 8. In Germany, a famous player played like him, reminds me of him, but I donât want pressure on him.â
Jurgen Klopp on Leighton Clarksonđ
Kroos? Schweinsteiger? Who is he talking about?
Effenburg
You would expect him to save that
Thatâs why we miss him
OK, the game is getting a bit dire
These guys are being rough with Jota.
First half, no injuries. Check
HT
Take off Salah (got his goal), TAA and Fabinho (but for love of god, donât send in Joel).
Well, that was mildly entertaining!
Clarkson doing a job, and Div looks interested
Fab and Kells currently vying for MOM
Taki putting in a shift. But seems to be playing box to box rather than attacking mid or forward. Did I miss the memo?
Cant stop running is it
Iâm enjoying the game. Very open. Good chances. Itâs fast.
The axial play is poor but apart from that itâs been good.
I like Caoihmin, Tsimi, Clarkson, Williams, think theyâre doing well.
Donât see the moaning about the team. TAA, Sala, Keita, Jota, Fab all need mins. Theyâve not played loads lately.
Fab, TAA and Mo can be subbed at half time.
Trust in Jurgen.
Most of the youngsters who have recently being included for first team action have been real confident. Curtis, Neco and Kelleher in recent league games, Rhys and Clarkson here. They may make mistakes (which they havenât made many actually to be fair to them), but are very confident when on the ball and in their overall game.
Nice blend of talented and confident youngsters, with experience members to nurture them and few additions like Thiago! Perfect way to build a winning squad long term. Very impressive.
I wouldnât complain if he molded himself into our Kante
Definitely playing as an 8 rather than an AM. I thought heâs played OK.
