The thread for the game in 2 weeks will be great craic too, although it won't get going until the Monday morning.

But it'll keep going until the following Monday morning on the off chance that they win.

Lovely goal......not sure where he fits in other than bit part player being honest though.....

The same could have been said of a few of our now nailed on starters at different times though...the energy of his game suits the team anyway, looking forward to seeing what he can do when he starts getting more senior game time.

True, he'll have to put in some serious performances when he gets his chance......

Cup games for Ings at best unless there's a crisis but hopefully he'll stick about and be rewarded next season what with CL football and all

At least it's a young squad for the most part, so a few of the lads not getting game time can afford to wait a year or two before reassessing their careers.

More praise for Lallana

Milner has played great , but because we're pushing teams back so much him and Clyne are basically midfielders more than fullbacks . Lb is still a problem when a good team comes out to meet us imo.

The only good team left is City. :pac:

We've played Arsenal, Leicester, Spurs and Chelsea and not lost to any.

The goals and attacking play was excellent yesterday but this pass from Klaven was prob my favourite of the game....

Great pass from Klavan. What it does highlight though is the difference of using a left footed player on the left.

If he was naturally left footed Milner would have cut it back first time taking out three defenders and leaving Firmino? (Not quite sure who it is in the gif) with a clean shot on goal.

Being right footed his natural instinct was to control it first with his right foot.

It's a small thing but could be the difference with a similar situation in a tight game

Lads, thinks are looking up. The feeling around Liverpool seems to be buoyant and long may it last. Not going to get carried away just yet though. Come Christmas time though if we're still in the running I may get a little more excited, but not too much!

We'll inevitably see a LB being bought in Jan or the Summer.

Milner is after doing well in all games so far, he IMO has plenty brownie points in the bag and it's important to remember that goals happen in football so even if someone gets the better of him and scores it's not necessarily his fault

Not contesting CL or EL & quite likely not challenging for the title Milner at LB for the season we might well get away with.

Chelsea have won the league with Ivanovic at right back and United have won the league with Valencia at right back. Not too concerned with Milner playing there.

So I think we will be okay with Milner for the moment. Klopp said that Moreno was the best player in training for a while now.

Maybe he did the right thing and take him out of the firing line after the Arsenal game. Get his methods drilled in to Moreno's head and then when he's ready return him to left back.

We'll see I suppose.

I'm not worried at all about where we finish the season.

I'm enjoying the football and the goals and the 3 points are almost immaterial atm.

Agreed. Some of our play, at times, is out of this world. Breath taking to watch.

I was over at the game on Sat (I know picked a good one!)...

Firstly the new stand is great huge sound when everyone roars it must be deafening from the pitch...The views are great we were about 8 rows from the back and the views were superb. The atmosphere could have been better tho..

Match observations - Hull were **** it took them less than 10 mins to realise they need to sit back and hold on

Firmino's off the ball running is something that often goes unnoticed.

Every time Mané and Coutinho got on the ball you were off your seat. There was so much movement into the box which really unnerved Hull. Ever since Suarez left and the opposition parked the bus we got used to the ball being moved left and right outside the box hoping for a bit of Coutinho magic...but not anymore.

Wijnaldum & Henderson were everywhere they needed to be and basically kept the ball in Hull half.

So I hear Klopp is going to be on MNF tonight can't wait to see him use the replay screen.
