Utopia Parkway

Lallana has had about 4 or 5 efforts already in the first 30 minutes.

Hasn't done anything decent, lost the ball a lot and given away a lot of fouls.....been poor IMO....Milner is the number 7 in red by the way

Two fouls. One of which wasn't, the other he could do nothing about. Won a lot of tackles already, and is, as always, covering a **** tonne of ground and helping both attack and defence.

He's not playing great, perhaps, but certainly not bad.

The fact that he's number 7 might actually be the issue, for the most part, as what he does is certainly not the glamours side of the game. That said, he has chipped in with plenty of assists already this year.

Lallana must have had at least 37 attempts so far.

martyos121

Some nerv(ol) looking for a penalty there.

Turtyturd

Milner complaining Coutinho didn't pass it to him at the edge of the box. He's the only person who doesn't realise he'd have fallen over if he got it.

Given the amount of chances we've had, I reckon Sturridge would have scored at least one by now.

If he was playing with Origi, yeah. Instead of him, maybe not...all the chances are coming for for support players with Origi occupying the defenders opening up space to run into.

Would like to see Allen on for Milner, and Sturridge on for Lallana later, give a little more time for Sturridge and Origi to develop something together.

Lallana's doing ok aside from missing his chances though.

Benteke would still be controlling central midfield.

Suarez would be subbed off with a hattrick

Bandana boy

Not getting all the Milner hate ,

Lalana could not hit sand if he fell off a camel

This game is screaming out undeserved Everton goal from a set-piece. Or a 30 yard rocket into the top corner.

Like last season :mad:

Lovern has great reading of the game, like a newborn foal on ice when anybody is running at him though.

I wasn't talking about how the number 7 is an iconic number and he shouldn't wear it just wasn't sure you knew which player he was, a poor joke maybe...

Has he won a lot of tackles? I remember 1 perhaps 2 at the most?.....covering ground? Maybe, not having much influence on the players that enter that space though.....doing a limited job I suppose, I'm not happy with his performance anyway, and judging by other comments I'm not the only person, as I said previous I expect a bit more from him given his experience and wage, as unfair as that may seem.....

I know. Was more just me trying to add perspective as to why Milner gets hate for a performance of the same standard that would draw praise for Can. I presume it expectations.

People look at him through a microscope, and his poor set pieces don't help in that regard, alright.

Osmosis Jones

Starting to think Firmino's just not a great passer

5starpool

ORIIIIIIIGGGGGGGGGGGGGGIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

Utopia Parkway

Player of the season Divock Origi.

Another Milner assist too.

NukaCola

Origi!!!

~Rebel~

That'a boy Origi!

He really is just quality.

He has absolutely everything Benteke has, and a whole lot more besides.

Knex*

Again!

Buford T. Justice XIX

Hahahahahahahahahaha OOOOOOOORRRRRRRIIIIIIGGGGGGGIIIIIIIIII

Osmosis Jones

Yet another Milner assist. Origi is the man

monkey9

Nice goal from the best Belgian striker around.

Pyjamarama

Get Origi and Milner off... RUBBISH!!!

OwaynOTT

Goodman Milner

Harry Palmr

Derek is on fire (don't put him out)

5starpool

Great cross by Milner. Deserve that.

whatawaster

What a player

Washington Irving

Yeee

NukaCola

Great ball by Milner too, more of that please!!

Vicxas

OOOOOOOORRRRRRIIIIIIGIIIIIII!!!

Turtyturd

Divock Origi Liverpool #1 announcer striker.

whatawaster

Milner on the wing = quality

Bandana boy

Another assist from Milner , not sure why he can't do it from a corner but lovely ball in there

Knex*

Origi has all the physical attributes that you'd give a player if you were creating them on FIFA, or something. He's huge, he's fast, great feet, can head the ball. If he keeps improving his finishing, he can go a long way.

OwaynOTT

Fcuking head on Joe.

Osmosis Jones

Is Milner left footed and he just doesn't know it?

Chardee MacDennis

commentator saying Origi hasn't looked good tonight? Am I watching a different game, thought he's looked sharped when he's had an opportunity.

Utopia Parkway

Sturridge wondering how Origi already has a chant and he still doesn't.

Armchair Andy

Milner might go balls out and get some pink wafers for his tea tonight. Great pass in fairness

Yeah, he's like a cheat player.

Started slow. Klopp was shouting at him for not displaying the kind of movement he wanted too, apparently.

Last 15 mins I thought he was a lot more involved alright. Showed great feet a couple of times as well.

martyos121

Just spent the last few minutes trying to stop a nosebleed and I walk back into the room to see us 1-0 up.

I think it's fair to assume, divine intervention?

Picked a bad day to wear a white t-shirt though.

YouTookMyName

Luis Suarez is good like but he's no Divock Origi.

5starpool

SAKHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Utopia Parkway

Sakho goal machine!!!

OwaynOTT

Milner again!

Pyjamarama

We are great at Headball.

monkey9

sAHHKKOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
