And, we're off.....2016/17

Couple of things

1. Neville as a commentator is getting a bit too fond of his own voice

lol - ex-players turned pundits annoy me.......they all love the sound of their own voice mate. They have had their ego's massaged for the past 15 years so think that their knowledge of the game is footballing equivalent of Einstein crossed with Socrates. The vast majority are dumb as dog dirt and sky or the beeb shouldn't give them the tv pay day.

I missed half the game but caught up last night. It was a great 'open' final, Southampton were the better side, but top class markmanship and a dodgy decision swung it our way. Main issue for us was that Mata was out on the right and didn't get a sniff moving into a central position (where he has been awesome for us) and we missed Mkhitaryan. Herrera and Pogba worked very hard and whilst they may not have shone, they had to play a strong game. I know a lot of people don't like Herrera, but to me , he is a great player. He is one of those players, who, if he is on your team you like, but if not, you hate as he still a bit too theatrical. He does however do the hard yards.....covers a lot of ground, breaks the play up, and does not give the ball away. 　

My worry is that we looked a tired side now. Chelski will smash us if they come at us hard like Saints did.

Agree about Herrera Andy.

To me at least, hes shaping into the player that Carrick never quite did. Has more going forward and turns up more often in big games.

Exactly mate. He'll never win man of the match awards, but is one of those unsung players whereby , if he doesn't play, the team will miss him. He's not had much of a chance to press forward this season with Mata and Mkhitaryian doing well, but I agree, he can score if he presses on.

RIP Alex Young - The Golden Vision, one of Everton, Hearts and Scotlands greatest ever players.

Seems like a different Leicester side tonight. Playing with speed and a degree of passion and ambition. Still look shaky at the back mind

 

[garyinderry]

Unreal technique to keep that down. Pure class goal.

 

[Imurg]

Can Leicester still, mathematically, win the League..?😁😁

As they use to say "take a bow son"

Big second half for the Klopp express

In answer to your question, no.

Can Liverpool? 😂😂😂

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Can Liverpool? 😂😂😂

Also a no (although mathmatically yes :rofl

 

[Pin-seeker]

Can anyone explain how Liverpool are losing now that Mane is back in the team?
Apparently their bad run was all down to him going to ACON 🤔

Liverpool haven't turned up worts going on .
you have to ask why has vary not played like this for Ranieri this season.
Reminds me of hazard last year
we deserve to be behind just hope they show some fight second half.
They just look lacklustre.

Missing Horrenderson, no leader on the pitch

That was a worldy from Drinkwater and suddenly Liverpool find themselves with a mountain to climb. Time for Klopp to start showing some tactical nous.
