Not a bad bit of business.

Who knows. he was almost a Liverpool player.

"Wise decision to start Woodburn and Alexander-Arnold, as they provide the needed speed "

Serious question for Liverpool supporters, is Woodburn quick? I didn't think so in the games I've seen him play.

with their small squad, injuries to key players were always likely to hinder them. That said, i'm off the opinion that if a player makes the squad they should be fit enough to start, so would have started the bigger names and brought on the youngsters if struggling. Thinka youngseter coming on has nothing to lose and will be ok confidence wise, where as taking them off as soon as things go wrong could harm their confidence..

Seems like everyone apart from Klopp knew that the squad wasn't good enough.

Don't get me wrong, nothing wrong with starting with these youngsters. I just didn't think Woodburn was all that quick that's all, watched him a few weeks ago and he was running full pelt and losing ground on the player with the ball that he was trying to catch.

Was it Bellerin?That boy has some speed!

No it wasn't Bellerin, most would look slow trying to catch him. I cant remember who it was but the striker ran from deep with the ball and ended up scoring. Maybe Woodburn was simply knackered that day or the striker was blisteringly quick?

Would be interested in hearing from someone who watches Woodburn a lot.

Who was that quote from that you found ?

Yes Woodburn is a pretty quick player , it's one of his attributes.

I'm sure Stu will av seen a fair bit of him.

Nice to have you back on the thread Phil 👍🏻

Chelsea march on again but thought Spurs looked fantastic at lunchtime. Really enjoy watching them.

 

[Tashyboy]

Scruffy victory today, proper scruffy, had to leave 10 mins early to get back for baby sitting duties. Til we went back and found Missis Ts phone she had dropped. Anyway, apparantly I missed another shocker from Bravo.
Nowt new there then.

Credit where credit is due, Mignolet was deservedly MOTM yesterday. He's taken loads of criticism and most of it has been fair but yesterday he was immense.

Performances like he put in yesterday is in some ways the most frustrating part about him, he's always had the potential to be one of the best in Europe, the Sunderland fans up here have always say on his day he is one of the best keepers they'd ever had.

 

[Lord Tyrion]

My cousin watches Liverpool home and away. He describes Mignolet as a cracking shot stopper but a total flapper on crosses. As this is England that is a bit of an issue. You have to be good at all aspects to be a top keeper, not just part of the game.

Yesterday's performances are too few and far between, he's cost us more points than any other keeper I can remember and that's including David James!!

Yes but put into perspective the goalkeeper is the MOM when the rest of the team are playing poorly .
If Minolet had not saved some of them yesterday we would be blaming the defence.
He has made some howlers over time but all keepers do that.
I think I would be nervous behind Liverpools defence.
Citys keepers are in the same situation.
Liverpools defence is wide open and needs sorting but week after week we make the same mistakes that includes the keeper, as he does not inspire confidence in the defenders.

I'm the 1st one to criticise Mingolet so its only right when he's had a blinder I acknowledge his performance. I agree all keepers make howlers but none as many as Mingolet. I am not suggesting he's the answer to our problems neither.

We're down to our bare bones and Matip apart I'd happily replace the rest of our defence. Klopp tried something different yesterday, something you and many others have said he doesn't have a plan B, And I don't think it worked because he hasn't got the players to play that formation.
