Just saw that- I mean wtf is going on. Even our youth guys are hurt or just coming back. Lol


When some idiot blind-sides you and cracks you in the ankle, I find it really difficult to somehow blame either squad or player fitness.

I wasn't blaming anyone - other than the Universe. We're just snake bit, lol.

Defense has definitely looked a bit off. VVD always lights out, but there were a couple times he was looking for a borderline offsides and almost got caught a step behind. I’ve also noticed every game where the defense has looked shaky, it’s bc the midfield was non existent. Need consistent midfield play.


I think clearly we are playing a higher line so far this year, relying upon VAR being accurate and the speed of our defenders (remember that VVD and Gomez are both extremely fast). I don't necessarily see the reason for the change given how great our defense was last year, but in Klopp I trust.

I would really like to see Shaq get some time here. I don’t trust bs reports but he can’t be happy that he barely sees any PT at all.

Just announced Adrian is in the matchday squad ahead of the team sheet coming out in a minute... guess he'll start after all

ETA: Adrian, Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Van Dijk, Robertson, Wijnaldum, Milner, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Mane, Salah, Firmino.

Subs: Lonergan, Fabinho, Gomez, Henderson, Lallana, Shaqiri, Origi.

Not bad considering the 120 midweek... assuming Gini sits deepest...

We sure could have used a Bruno Fernandes in this midfield.

But we aren't going to buy someone just because fans want us to buy someone just to say we bought someone.

I think Mane was lucky not to get a yellow.

And again.

3 pts.. I'll take it!

I was just about to praise Adrian, too.. before the blunder... I still think he did really well outside of that error... Cant wait to get Alisson back...

It may be time to put Milner out to pasture... I hope we don't renew for next season..

I’m biased but I like what I saw from Ox today. Now get Naby healthy and get Shaq on the pitch and our “Summer signings” will begin to make an impact. I had flashbacks of Karius/Benzema today which is never a good thing.

He always looks good playing from midfield.

He has rarely looked good playing from the wing.
