Really too early and accomplished too little so far to say whether he is a success. A great goal though and looks to be ā€œhopefullyā€ settling.

Keane: ā€œUtd were probably the better teamā€

Well he is proving you wrong there mate, and I just canā€™t wait to see him and Nunez next season, when they are drilled in the Klopp systemā€¦

Why wouldnā€™t it be done by a group of Liverpool fans who arenā€™t happy with the owners? And there are many of them.

The phrase, ā€œsliced through their defenceā€ has rarely been illustrated more perfectly.

Even him taking Anthony out is a bit of growth from him. Heā€™s always looked decent when the ball comes to him, but heā€™s started to find ways to make the game to him a bit more.

If it makes him and anyone else who feel the need to get in my face feel better so be it ā€¦

Iā€™m just happy that we scored :partying_face:

No we donā€™t, we just need to take our chances when they come (which Gakpo took exquisitately)ā€¦whether thatā€™s 1 or many. Result is what matters.

Exactly.

The last 25 was more even but we dominated the first 20

Fck I hate them so much. Annoying little twats with their annoying fans and the constant fawning by pundits and commentators Ohh Manchester United. Fck them and hope they concede a few more and take their annoying Antony and Martinesh back with nothing.

IMHO it takes more than one match but no problem, I hope he scores 2 more :joy:

Normally Im ok with it, but there was definitely one case where the decision to play on after the flag was raised was with us struggling to maintain possessions, made a messy clearance and ended up giving away a free kick on the half way line. Thatā€™s just a bad application though

If we were smart weā€™d force them to try and play a bit and then blitz them on the counter.

Could be. There are nonces like that in every fan base.

Seems like the kind of shit stirring crap Paddy Power do though. Especially before a big game.

Going back to that Martinez swipe at Salah (not even a free kick btw), had it been Bruno on the end of that, he wouldā€™ve milked a red card out of the clueless ref.

Iā€™d totally be for this if we could be confident of ball recovery in the right areas.

Sadly given the season we are having we canā€™t be confident of this

Itā€™s almost a 50/50 game, but we have been slightly better. A positive surprise. Great goal. Ref missed an obvious foul on Martinez which could probably have been a yellow too (but I am not fussed by lack of card, but that free kick in a good position should be given 100/100 times).
I doubt Ten Haag is happy, seen them much better this season but very happy with us.

Next half we have an advantage since they must score, which should open up for counter attacks.
Considering our season and form, this is a top game from us even though we sometimes lose alertness and tempo and also become A tad sloppy. But a very strong Liverpool half and good to watch. :smiley_cat:

This is where I expect Darwin to come more into it in this half.

Sorry that I did that pal but you never really gave him a chance but I know you will be chuffed and like me when I have been critical of one of ours, I hope they make me eat my words
