To be fair to Randall, he's put off by Mignolet coming for it. I accept that the ball may have been curling away from him but I can see his body language, too, and it's not exuding, "I'm 100% committed to getting this ball to safety no matter what!"

No, not hateful at all - a bit jokey, really.

His distribution at times was stunning. Only really had one of his crazy moments 2 mins from the end

I don't really care, but was amazed that Varela was picked. Everything Van Gaal does is bizarre

I thought Milner did really well

Sakho Can Coutinho

Exactly, Klopp will tell him that he's still coming back from injury and that he's still his man - nothing to see here.

"In my dreams I win all games"

Rodgers clearly.

Particularly when it's THE worst option - lacks awareness at times and either puts those behind him under pressure or stifles our momentum going forward. Hopefully, it's just a lack of confidence at the moment.

Still getting fit - beautiful ball for Lallana to sc..., I mean Phil to knock in the rebound.

Honest question, does it have another name?

Re: the centre halves - I think they'd all be for sale at the right price. I don't think any of them would have done enough in Klopp's eyes, for him to consider them indispensable. From there it's just a matter of who the offers come in for & if they meet our valuation.

Or to go out on loan and not got any games.

But zonal marking doesn't work! Everybody knows that

Klopp's pretty much stated the same since day one. Even after the initial good results, he was calling for calm, saying there would be ups and downs, and even stated that he didn't really fancy bringing anyone in during the January window - wanting to work with what he had. From the players' perspective, I don't think any of them can complain that they haven't been given the opportunity to impress.

I think the point is that (despite our woefulness on the pitch) we are still a massive name in terms of following, marketing, etc.

Totally - seems to be a guy that will leave no stone unturned in his pursuit to be the best that he can. Much like Carra, too, he seems to always pop up in the right place at the right time.

Agree with Flasher here, his movement in general play isn't up to scratch right now, either. There was a moment in the first half that summed it up for me. Milner (from memory) has the ball on the right near their box and cuts inside, Firmino makes an angled run to drag away a centre half, pulling the other centre half across to cover. This leaves Ibe high up the pitch with just his defender on him. Milner looks at him - I imagine thinking to himself, "Do something, there's an opportunity here", but he just walks (WALKS!!!) toward him and Milner has to kick out the ball to one of the central midfielders. He can make the run inside (hoping for a threaded through ball, or opening up the space outside for Moreno), or peel off his man to look for a cross to the far post. Ibe really should study what Lallana did when he came on. He attacked the spaces well, putting pressure on the defenders, laid on a goal and got his reward for his hard work.

I simply can't believe that's not happening. And if it is, then he's just not learning. The first thing you learn as a fullback is to force your opponent toward the sideline - the amount of times Moreno allows players to go inside him is unreal!

So true! Championship quality defending, and we only looked like a proper side when Lallana came on. Still, WE WON!!!

CRAZY

Yes!

Typical! Benteke stays onside we've got the ball up their end - we've got some stupid players in this side.

5 mins of stoppage time - where's that come from?
