Kid Klopp

He'll agree if he wants to play regular football. Otherwise he won't. This is deep stuff.

Awful news. Hope you are taking good care of yourself and loved ones, sammy.

We've also had to fall back on Atletico covering the 17k cost for refunding fans with tickets who couldn't attend the game at Anfield. I think the only appropriate response here is to fire the person who took these decisions. Moore, your time is up.

I still prefer...

Hahaha

I love what he's become. The consummate midfielder.

What a performance. Just missing a top notch finish into the corner. Everything good came from him basically.

He can rotate himself back to Spain.

Salah has been brilliant tonight

Keita is getting kewell levels of misanthropy thrown at him these days. Just missing a "faked an injury to get off the pitch" claim.

It's gonna be a confident 3-0 victory. People in the match thread will still lose their s*** because atletico will dominate the last 20 and if they score they only need one more to go through.

He was one goal off top before vardy banged in another two in the meantime. But he's been making steady ground on them lately.

One goal off being top of the topscorer list in the league. He's going to top that for a third year running, isn't he?

Then we should also include Salah's numbers from Chelsea.

No other top team in Europe that will give young players as many opportunities and stable environment, while also competing in the CL and for the league title.

I am guessing they put the passengers at the front for weight distribution or some such, allowing for such a shot.

You do realise those are devastating numbers when you scale them up right? There is no other cause of death that comes even close to the numbers the coronavirus would hit if not contained. The annual death rate in the UK is ~1%. If Coronavirus reached its projected uncontained potential that number would double.

We should play Fabinho in defence ahead of Lovren. Whoever plays in midfield will still be better for the team than Lovren in defence.

And then you see the huge gap there is between him and TAA when he moves to right back. Lovren is OK with the ball for a centreback, but that's for lesser teams. He's left behind by how the team has evolved. Same as Clyne, if it hadn't been for the injuries, would have been left behind by how our fullbacks have evolved. Our back five, seriously. It's like nothing we've ever seen before. The unrivalled technical ability, and pace to play a high line, from everyone, from keeper through centrebacks to fullback. And being the world's best defensively on top. Klopp has built something unique there.

Lovren has always looked exponentially worse the more space behind him he has to defend. His judgment of when to go for the ball and when to shepherd his opponent is just awful. Actually decision making in general. When he's defending deeper and he's got team mates in closer proximity, he can do a job. He's completely left behind by the way this team had evolved and should have been chucked in the summer of 2018 at the latest.

Haha. That is the essence of him.

Didn't see the game, saw the lineup before kick off and wanted to go on here to blame Lovren prior to whatever might happen. Am I correct in assuming it is basically all Lovren's fault?

It is ON!

That second goal from Haaland reminded me of peak Vieri. Looks world class already.

Gini was absolutely shocking. Can't remember a forward pass from him and wasn't even his usual self with the press resistance. Been off the boil lately.
