The fans really don't like Origi, they've been shouting at him all game trying to put the lad off. It sickens me.

Harry Palmr

Derek Origi suddenly coming into this game, hopefully he scores before he gets subbed for Ings.

As did Liverpool with Sebastián Coates.

We really need to kill this off though with a second goal

I'm still annoyed Liverpool didn't sign Granit Xhaka. Imagine a midfield of Xhaka Can.

Much better second half so far.

Worst fans in the world.

Moreno's been very good tonight. Certainly not a lost cause, but definitely in need of directions.

There is a direct relationship as to what is happening on the field to the noise of the crowd.

There was nothing happening in the game in the period you are referring to.

They are a lot nosier now.

There is, as you say, a direct relationship. My point was just that at times it's dead. That's not the case elsewhere when there's not much happening in play, hence my point that relative to other grounds, Anfield is a library.

With the exception of Selhurst Park, you could probably same the same about most PL grounds

That would only work with people born in the 26 counties between 1968 and 1982 :pac: getting that reference.

super_furry

That'll do.

5starpool

Yay, about time he got a seconbd.

Harry Palmr

Bootiful football (was it offside?)

martyos121

Who else was certain he'd miss that? :P

Brilliant quick move, well timed pass and run, no chance Sturridge is missing from there.

Proper striker.

Much better than a tackle :cool:

Berbatov was incredibly lazy but often got into good positions, they're not really related. People call him lazy because of things like the fact he hasn't made a single tackle in nearly 6 hours of league football this season.

Not all strikers are tacklers.

He just criticised no matter what in my opinion.

I'd say some are unhappy with the goal he just scored.

I want strikers to score not tackle.

Well that's just a load of bollocks to be honest with you.

Sturridge, when fit, really is a great option to have. I accept the issues regarding his work rate, injuries and ability to fit in Klopp's system, but still a great striker

Lucas has made loads of interceptions and blocks.

He is certainly not one of the best Liverpool players of the last decade, but he is certainly one of my favourite players.

More said tongue in cheek but there are definitely some posters who just post negative stuff about him.

Yes, Dings is coming on!

Here comes the Ings

Yes but a striker in Liverpool's current first team needs to be a tackler. Firmino makes 3 or 4 a game and still has time to score. No one's unhappy he's scored, no one's that spiteful.

I wouldn't know a thing about that mate. Not a thing.

Klopp really has a great rapport with the players doesn't he? Must be great to play for.

Harry Palmr

Pity Derek didn't get his goal - a performance that deserved at least an assist.

Genuinely cant't remember any great tackles that any striker has ever made but do remember their goals.

I would argue that Sturridge at his peak fitness and in right system has a higher strike rate than Firmino, a player I really like.

Is Klopp playing the wrong system?

Coulson and Turd are well known Sturridge haters, just stating the obvious with that.

Coulson never wanted to see him start a match for Liverpool again! Just stating a fact again.

I'm only speculating, but it does seem like Klopp's infectious attitude has had a huge positive impact on the morale and atmosphere amongst the players

Doesn't matter if they're great or memorable tackles, they're tackles that help out the team, that's just a stupid thing to say. And how often is Sturridge actual at peak fitness?

Never said that, but if it turns out that Sturridge can't play to it , then it does not mean he's lazy or bad attitude. Just the wrong type of player for his system.

Sturridge would have a first team place in most premiership sides.

Osmosis Jones

Never a penalty, how fcuking soft

mayordenis

nothing pen

super_furry

Jesus, you'd expect that from one of the kids, not Lucas.

Time will tell.

9 PL games and Firmino, coutinho, Lallana & Mane all getting a few goals isn't proof he is. Small sample size etc but I'm fairly sure there isn't much over 40/50 PL goals in that 4 over the course of 38 games.

Harry Palmr

Nothing in that

Outrageous refereeing

machiavellianme

Never saw a softer penalty given

5starpool

Soft peno there.

mada999

never a penalty.....contact sport eh ?!

Rayne Wooney

What is Lucas doing there, swinging his foot wildly what did he expect?
