And what's with calling everyone "kid"? It's very condescending.

It's a term of endearment in Cork actually, not at all condescending, apologies if you thought otherwise

Fair enough. I've had Cork people say it to me and it comes across differently when you hear it rather than read it.

A very short period ago Firmino was lauded as being really fantastic in here........ 2/3 poor ish games shouldn't change peoples view of the chap that much.

Very few forwards are consistently good to excellent, he's also after a few games out due to slight injury.

Its all coming together nicely for next season, Klopp is the man, we love Klopp

Is it just me, or does anyone else ever get a bit píssed off that the one season Leicester and Spurs make a run of sorts, that they'll only need 82 points or so to win?

Every time we've been close in the last 7 years we'd superpowers to fúck us over.

Yes, I'm a bitter man.

rob316

Yeah I'm pissed off about it too.

I wear my bitterness like a badge of honour.

I only "tuned" in at KO today so didn't see this gesture from Bournemouth FC..

Will all ye Cork hoors please shut up now cos no one else can understand a word ye're saying.

Kerrigooney

Was Ibe any good today?

I thought he was quite impressive, his shooting was ambitious but poor at times, but he was having a go, he seemed confident.

I don't recall him performing wizadry getting past people too many times so I suppose he ran into people as much as usual. He was involoved in the 1st goal although to be fair Sturridge made it really & his free for the 2nd was decent delivery.

I think Ojo being on the other flank helped Ibe to an extent, bit of balance in that regard.

I've noticed this myself but apparently it's been sang at the games since away to Dortmund.

Klopp's post match press conference was funny. Trying to see him communicate with journalists about Sturridge. As if he was our only player today. I think they expected him to say yeah I'm dropping Origi forever for England's sake

I love how you can see the disdain on his face when he's asked a stupid question.

Reminds me of how Kenny treated stupid journalists.

I'm pissed off we've had 20 odd years of heavy spending, false dawns, new managers, new plans, new owners and numerous world class players and Lecister are going to pull it off one season after they survive a relegation battle.

It will be much harder to take if Spurs do it, given that they've been our closest rival really in recent years.

I'm delighted for sport in general, which is more important to me than the kinship of one particular football club.

Fair enough but he also coughs it up a lot without even attempting a pass. And btw thanks Augeo for managing to slip a "the likes of you" into a normal civil discussion. Classy as ever.

He also has very good stats at tackling and winning it back so all a bit Meh!

For a first season hard to complain much about him.

True, but after he seemed to turn a corner there a while ago, it's just a shame to see a few less effective performances, reminiscent of his earlier form.

I'm not worried, though, I've seen more than enough from his first season in a new country to reassure me that we've a really good player on our hands.

That guy has a horn for Danny.

"Do you believe Daniel was inspirational for the team"?
"Daniel Sturridge won the game for you".....then shaking his head while Klopp answered someone else's question......because Klopp said one player cant win you a game of football.

He probably already had an article written and was looking for a soundbite.
Now he has to rewrite.

I'm not quite sure I understand Jurgen's irritation at that journalists line of questioning. He seemed to really jump on him for no reason. Does anyone know who the journalist is? It was like Klopp had previous with him or something or was annoyed about something else and just took it out on him.

I don't see the problem with being asked about Sturridge. Sure, it's a team game and there were lots of good performances. But journalists are entitled to ask about individual players.

Maybe Jurgen would have preferred to give some of the younger lads credit as well. But I just thought the way he reacted to the question about Sturridge was strange. I mean, it's no big deal or anything, I'm just wondering is there an underlying issue that Klopp has with Sturridge or that journalist.

He was out injured for a few weeks as well which disrupted him. He hasn't been great since he came back, no, but he still has the desire and the workrate we are looking for, and his goal yesterday was him reacting to Sturridge's shot quickest in case there was a rebound, which there was.

At Dean Court Liverpool fc became the first side to win at 50 opposition grounds in the Premier League era. So yes that means there have been at least 51 different sides in the Prem which hardly seems possible somehow.

Note some grounds are the same club at two venues - The Dell and St Mary's for example.

13 - Villa Park

9 - Goodison Park, Stadium of Light, Upton Park

7 - Craven Cottage, St James' Park, White Hart Lane

6 - Carrow Road, Elland Road, Ewood Park, Loftus Road

5 - Highbury, Old Trafford, Reebok Stadium, Stamford Bridge, The Hawthorns

4 - DW/JJB Stadium, Pride Park, Selhurst Park, The Dell, The Valley,

3 - City of Manchester Stadium, Filbert Street, Fratton Park, Highfield Road, Portman Road, St Mary's Stadium,

2 - Britannia Stadium, Hillsborough Stadium, Molineux Stadium, Riverside Stadium, Turf Moor, Vicarage Road

1 - Ayresome Park, Baseball Ground, Boundary Park, Burnden Park, Cardiff City Stadium, County Ground, Emirates Stadium, KC Stadium, King Power Stadium, Liberty Stadium, Madejski Stadium, Maine Road, Oakwell, Roker Park, St Andrew's, Valley Parade, Vitality Stadium, Bloomfield Road, Bramall Lane, City Ground

I think it's important to Klopp that the team mentality he values so highly and is trying very hard to encourage can be undermined if one or two players are singled out for special treatment or are put up on a pedestal as that can polarise the dressing room and be very counter productive.

From Klopps perspective which is the more important/worthy story? An established international on >£100,000 a week performs well against Bournemouth or that 3 young PL debutants made their bow and performed well? I suggest it is the latter by a long way and the fact journo's want to prioritise Sturridge doing well so they can write articles about him and the England squad selection in the run up to the Euro's is not something Klopp is interested in playing along with.

Either the Journo's set the agenda or Klopp set's the agenda and I for one am very happy that Klopp is being assertive and doing what is best for LFC rather than what makes the Journo's lives easier.

Haha, theres a narky Klopp. Say he had a dreadfull hangover.

There hasn't been. Liverpool have beaten Arsenal, Man City, Leicester, Southampton, Bolton, Middlesborough and Sunderland at their 'old' and 'new' grounds.

His reactions in the box are class at times, the way he pounced on McCarthy's loose ball out away to Palace was just great, was about speed of thought as much as anything. There's a hungry raptor of a striker in there, would love to see more of that.

We've scored a good few goals from set pieces recently, makes a change from watching them at the other end!

By my quick calculations, 7 of those grounds are defunct now. Highbury, Ayresome Park, Baseball Ground, Maine Road, Roker Park, Highfield Road, The Dell. White Hart Lane and Upton Park will be added to that list soon also.

Edit: From wiki - As of the 2015–16 season, Premier League football has been played in 53 stadiums since the formation of the Premier League in 1992. This means there are 3 grounds we haven't won at.

47 different clubs have played in the premier league since its inception.

Here's an irony - Sturridge could be the only fit striker for Everton.

Origi injured?

Also - Happy birthday to Divock, 21 today.

Firmino seems a bit like Sakho in that it takes a couple of games to get him back up to speed. No worries about him at all.

Also great to see that from Klopp. I am sure he's well aware that stuff like that contributes to Sturridge's attitude, so great to see him shut it down like that rather than foster it like 'The Rodgers' did so often.

Also wouldn't call his performance yesterday inspirational. A good goal, an inadvertent assist :cool: and plenty of spurned chances.

Interesting that - it was 22 the first season, and 3 guaranteed newbies the second season = 25, so its been near enough 1 new team every year since then to get to 47.

Presumably its close to the end of its growth though and it'll only be one or two new clubs every decade from here on.

That's really sad. Lot of good grounds. Mostly got rid to boost matchday take id imagine? Even when thats a small percentage of where clubs find revenue now.

Good job FSG are redeveloping Anfield, rather than a poxy new stadium in Stanley Park.
