Liverpool

Liverpool's big names are starting to turn up. Firmino grabbed an assist, Coutinho scored 2 goals and Benteke did very well off the bench with a goal and an assist.

Liverpool did alright overall. Milner has been "meh" for a while but should be kept in the side, the same does not apply for Lallana however. Only 1 goal in 22 Premier League games for this guy, 7 games, 0 goals and 0 assists this season, another below par performance today. I've been saying this for a year, he's not 10 material, let alone top 4. Benteke should start ahead of him and Milner kept in midfield as he's the captain anyway.

To be fair to Lallana he dummied the ball for third goal which is as good if not better than the assist.

Well done Ed and XMG! Hope this win spurs the Reds and Klopp on :)

Mom?

Let's hope so but there is still a lot of work to be done. However I've stated time and again that when others talk about players in our squad be it pundits or other supporters they are only seeing or talking about the players under Rodgers influence in which he didn't play players in their right position and this leading to a loss of confidence and combining it with Rodgers making us play like a bunch of clowns. Now I'm not saying its a top class squad it isn't, however the players have more ability than they have shown over the past several months.

So Klopp has a lot of work to do but he does have quality to work with - albeit the squad for me is quite unbalanced - especially in midfield and attack.

For me MoM was probably Coutinho however I felt Lucas and Sakho had superb games and have had a very calming presence on the team lately.

I don't get that response tbh ,what was funny in the question?

Not too much behind it. Klopp got amused by the reporter trying to lure the line-up out of him, so he simply answered the actual question with "yes" and doesnt give anything more away. And the rest is just charisma.

my first post. Thanks for the forum recommendation, Ed.

Klopp is working wonders with the players confidence at Anfield. These same players looked listless and beyond help under Rodgers. A few weeks later, they look like different men.

Early days yet. A lot of work to be done. New players needed (notably one or two more midfielders who offer a threat).

But we are unbeaten under Jurgen. And who knows what will happen, in a league that looks to be pretty dire quality.

There are going to be roadblocks its to be expected. However I am still extremely upbeat about our prospects in the future. There will be further roadblocks soon enough. However that's how it goes when you are starting to build up the team into how Klopp wants us to play.

me too, Ed (re upbeat).

It is a massive job that Jurgen has in front of him. I think despite his bluster, he is starting to realise the size of the task. He says he already has the tools (players) he needs. That just isn't correct. I have been saying for a long time, that there are many issues to be sorted. The priority, is we do not have enough offensive threat from midfield. We have too many midfielders who neither score, create or can defend. They offer a little bit of everything; but a whole lot of nothing.

And that was all too evident against Palace on Sunday.

Plus, Jurgen is still finding his feet in the premiership. He cannot play the energetic football he likes to....at least not for all the game. Refs will not give him a breather, with regular breakdowns in play.
