  That Champions League draw was a farce, and the various stipulations around which teams can play each other is always overly complicated. I wasn't scared of any of the teams that we could've been drawn against, even PSG. Getting Red Bull Salzburg in the voided draw was OK. And now that we've got Inter Milan in the redone draw, I'm fine with that too. I wouldn't have minded if Chelsea and Man City got drawn against Atletico and PSG respectively. Regardless of what happens in the last 16, the quarter finals is always exciting and there are no easy games.

  What a hit son, WHAT. A. HIT. It wasn't the greatest of performances, and it sucked to concede an early goal. But we got the three points and that's all that matters. Hopefully VVD, Jones and Fabinho recover from Covid soon, and none of our other players catch the virus. It seems to be spreading again throughout the league. Alisson was solid. Trent scored an absolute cracker. Konate was a colossus. Matip was cool and calm. Robbo was energetic as always. Hendo was all over the place. Thaigo was a OK. Ox was fine. Mane kept running. Jota took his goal well. Salah can't stop scoring. It was good to see Bobby and Naby back on the pitch.

  The referees a wanker. I'm fine with Robbo getting sent off, but England's golden boy Harry Kane should've been sent off too. I've noticed in a few of our recent games that refs have thought it's fair game for our opponents to kick us all over the place. Yeah there was an unintentional handball in the build up to Robbo's goal, but Jota should've got a penalty too. The ref knew he lost the plot once he gave a yellow card to Klopp. I feel sorry for Alisson making a mistake for Son's goal, because he kept us in the game on a few occasions. Trent was OK. Matip was solid. Konate was very good. Robbo got a goal, an assist and a red card LOL. Morton did well on his full debut. Milner was fine. Keita was fine. Mane was always a threat. Jota took his goal beautifully. Salah was solid. The covid outbreak has had an adverse effect on our squad. If we had VVD, Fabinho, Hendo and Thiago today's result might've been different. But it's fine, a point away to a Top 6 team is never a bad thing.

  I hope Jurgen Klopp does not subscribe to Rampant tv. i wrote this some weeks ago.
  
  Brentford 2 - 1 Liverpool
  I think Liverpool's defence is suspect'
  
  he was interviewed yesterday after the Tottenham game about the Liverpool defence and he was a little ,,,, well touchy about it. he was not defensive ( not unlike his team ) he was definitely 'touchy' if he finds out people have been mentioning it on the forum i do not think he could stand it.

  Our only weakness so far this season has been long balls over the top, because we play so high up the pitch. But normally our centrebacks and goalkeeper can deal with those counterattacks. But I guess that's just the price we have to pay for our style of play. Van Dijk, Konate and Matip are faster than most forwards in the league, so it's not that much of an issue, and Alisson is normally pretty good at coming off his line. But we're always bound to concede a few goals due to this approach. But we can usually score about three goals per match, so we tend to still avoid losing games despite being so attacking.

  Caoimhin Kelleher. Our starting line-up wasn't the strongest, and Leicester picked pretty much their strongest team. So what happened in the first half wasn't surprising. Fair play to Klopp for making those three subs at half time. Kelleher was outstanding. Bradley was fine. Williams was solid. Koumetio struggled. Konate was a colossus. Gomez was rusty. Tsimikas was energetic. Morton picked up an early booking. Henderson was OK. Ox took his goal well. Keita was really bright. Milner used his experience well. Jota was fantastic. Firmino was very good. Minamino was great and unlucky not to score his penalty. Now we just have to wait to see who we get in the semi's. Hopefully we'll have a fully fit squad back by then, because it won't be easy to beat Chelsea, Spurs or Arsenal to win this cup. But regardless of what happens next in the cup, this has been a good opportunity for our young and fringe players to get game experience and build up their confidence.

  Wasted chances. Salah's penalty being saved and Mane missing that one on one were signs that we weren't going to win. Now we just have to hope Man City don't win all their remaining nineteen games, and that we do. Alisson didn't have anything to do. Trent was out of position for their goal. Matip's mazy dribbles almost got us back into the game. VVD was solid as usual. Tsimikas gave his all. Fabinho was solid. Ox was OK. Hendo was fine. Milly tried. Keita was OK. Jota was fine. Mane missed a sitter. Salah was OK. Bobby tried. No team has ever got one hundred and fourteen points in a season. And no team has ever played brilliantly for thirty-eight games in a row. So I'm not that fussed really. All we can do is try to do our best in our remaining premier league games. But it looks like our best chance of silverware this season is now the league cup, champions league or FA cup.

  just watched 'match of the day 2' and the interviewer was chatting with Kasper Schmeichel after the game and he said - ( and i quote )
  'apparently Salah goes both ways, did you know ?'
  well to be honest i always suspected but in a football player is it really important ?

  Slightly disappointed. Klopp, Alisson, Matip and Firmino catching covid is a shame, I hope they get well soon. Ljinders, Kelleher, Konate and Jota did well in their absence. In any other era getting a point away at a league rival would've been fine, but now teams need to get almost 100 points a season to win the league. Kelleher was solid. Trent was fine. Konate was strong. VVD was good. Tsimikas was reliable. Milner was OK, Hendo was fine. Fabinho was OK. Jota was good. Mane took his goal well. Salah's goal was ice cold. Now were 11 points off top with a game in hand, after 20 played. We've still got a chance but Man City will have to slip up on three games. Hopefully we can build up our confidence in the league cup and FA cup matches.

  Hmm , Mane should have been sent off after 15 ( fifteen ) seconds. and Liverpool's defence fell apart after Nadia Comaneci scored.
