Klopp needs to ask for a refund on his VAR/Ref payment.

Alisson has a moment of utter madness that could've cost us the game, luckily it never.

I've been critical of refs at times but at least Martin Atkinson is consistently ***.
 
Poor selection cost us today, if Kante & Willian are fit then they have to start.

Giroud offered nothing, for all the possession and chances we had in the first half, we should have scored, but then 2 poor subs again for me.

Batsy should have come on as we clearly needed a goal, and he can sniff them out with half a chance.

WH defended well and soaked up the first half pressure, the second half we didn’t trouble them and their goal was very well taken.

Bad day for us, but unlike other teams, I think we’ll become stronger for it and Frank will learn from it also.

London Derby’s are always unpredictable but we lacked effort today and didn’t trouble a debutant PL keeper.
I could never understand Sarri’s use of Kante and as you say if not injured has to play.
 
If so, why no Torreira? As you say, interesting selection.
That's the one I'm not sure about perhaps Torreira needs time to see how he feels who knows. I don't think the rest of the line up is much of a surprise as Bellerin still injured, Tierney still not 100% fit for 90 mins and could have a good impact later in the game down the left side. I think it's what could probably be described as a very safe bet of a line up for a first game in charge against a team that should be beatable.

Either way let's hope we don't have any of the Emery faffing we had before.
