Karius having a ****in shocker. Dropping Mignolet may have been a mistake.

Lovren is all over the place!
Bringing him in has been the worst decision

Ref and Linesmen are just woeful.

Standard Kloppball performance so far, I have mentioned a few times my concern about this type of match, I really don't want to be right, so ffs Liverpool get your sh1t together and show some bottle and win this match.

It's actually scary how similar this game is to other defeats last season, the early cheap set piece goal is the signature goal to concede, if it pans out as a normal defeat we will huff and puff for 15-20 mins in the 2nd half, then concede the 2nd and possibly a late third. Change the fcking script Liverpool please.

Coutinho has done some nice bits this season but in the main he's hardly been involved in our play.
It's been about moments rather than being our main playmaker like you'd expect.

He's getting on the ball a lot more now that he's central which is a good thing. Hasn't been super effective so far but I think us getting on the ball a bit more in general is partly down to that switch.

I think we're better in these circumstances with a CF on the pitch. It'd probably be Coutinho I would've left out but now it looks like it might be Lallana for a while.
Replacing Coutinho with a striker is a tactical switch - neither is better or worse but you need to have the right set up for different games.
But any 11 we have without Lallana in it is poorer.

We're great when we're on song and Leicester showed that it is possible to play to your potential nearly every game, but it's not likely and we play more expansive football which makes it harder still.
You need a bunch of threats available so that you have enough dices to roll in these kinds of games. We have a fair few and we've still probably got more of a chance at winning the game than Swansea have but we will come unstuck in a few of these games.

Sturridge has been so poor this season. He used to be our game changer. Keeps on dropping deep.

He just doesn't look happy anymore.

Firminho though

We have now great fight under Klopp weather it's going behind or conceding goals this team doesn't collapse.

God it's good to go into an Intl break with a win.
When you lose those games the subsequent fortnight feels bad.

Liverpool played very well, movement and passing again exceptional.
Improvements can be found in defence & keeping of course.

Great win.

first half bad, second half good

yay!

Karius does not seem an upgrade on Mignolet. He seems very similar really, just better hair.

Massive win. Thought Sturridge played well.

It'll be fine, Acterberg's fantastic coaching will improve him no end, like it has half a dozen keepers before him, going back a number of years.

This must just be the way he was when he arrived from Germany, where he was held to be second only to Neuer, and nothing to do with the coaching regime he's been under since mid-Summer.

Be grand.
