Markovic looked good today alright. I truly hope that Marco Silva turns out to be a wonderful manager just so that Paul Merson is constantly reminded about it until the end of his days.

Silva keeps Hull up and Big Sam gets Palace relegated would be just great.

Brings balance I feel .

A win today is so important, get us within a point of Spurs as nd Arsenal. Without a win chances are we drop to 6th.

I find it remarkable that it's taken so long.

Funny it took Henry to do it. Another reason to be happy with great owners.

Match thread up.

I'm not long home from a 12 hour shift. It's been a long tough week. I'm bollixed tired and still have bad memories of watching last week's match. My head has been telling me all week to give today's match a miss. Cos like I've watched Liverpool flop badly over the last month, so what if I don't watch it? Maybe, just maybe we will win?? ..................................................................................

Ah feck it! I have to watch them! The pull is too damn strong! Sleep will just have to wait a bit longer. I'll either go to bed happy or frustrated. But I can't miss this game. Hope to heck we win!!

Would Sinnotts be jammed because of the Rugby today?

Yep, definitely.

Down to 6th as things stand ahead of the match. Hard to believe things have fallen apart as badly as they have so quickly. Win is important today or this season might just fizzle out.

Send Sakho out on loan and we're starting Lucas in defence.

Lovren and Klavan seem to pick up a lot of little niggles between them.

Osmosis Jones

Joe Gomez deserves a chance, he's not going to get better without playing. Lucas has been nothing short of atrocious in defence.

Mignolet still there.
At least Gini is in for Can.

One_Of_Shanks

Love Lucas to bits but I'd be worried about him starting today to be honest. Very worried.

Dropping Can is a good move and should have been done weeks ago. Happy enough with the team aside from Lucas.

Huge game this. Fingers crossed....

Lucas at CB again....not a good sign. He's just not good enough to start let alone start out of position. I would have probably went with Gomez but that brings its own risks.

Highlights how poor our squad is and in a game like this when there's lots at stake, we shouldn't be this short of decent cover. The thing that worries me is that our first choice partner for Matip isn't up to it on a consistent basis either.

Lucas is a disaster at CB. Spurs will score at least 2 today

Thought Gomez looked a bit off the pace in the games he's played to be honest. He was out for a very long time though to be fair.

Umaro

Lucas in defence is a bad move.

There is a hammering on the cards today with lucas at cb,wtf is klopp playing at

Well yeah they'll score anyway but whether we can score more is the question.

Still think we can win it but we'll need 2 or 3

Whereas Lucas is on the pace???

Lucas has done nothing to justify selection, nothing at all! By all accounts a nice lad/good servant and all, but fvuk me....

One_Of_Shanks

Rose and Vertongen out for Spurs? So that's not bad news.

Photos of Brody (from homeland) doing the rounds wearing his red scarf at the game. So that has settled my nerves. Should be grand now.

CMON THE POOL!!

Tipsy McSwagger

Mane is unreal

Knex*

The three summer signings are the best players in the pitch today. If Klopp can find some more this summer, we'll be in decent shape

jesus_thats_gre

That's more like it!

Kerrigooney

A fantastic performance so far. We've missed this. It's good to have it back. Only disappointment is we should have more goals.

J Mysterio

Wtf was Giles on about the other day? Hendo playing well again today. A few more of his 'trademark' creative over the top diagonal balls.

I think we just need to figure out a way now to play against those teams that park the bus. Maybe a 343 or 352 against those teams.

Potential Underachiever

Superb so far, Wij and Mane immense, job not done yet though....

I simply don't understand how anyone cites Giles as an expert on the modern game. It's evolved so much since his time. Still doing his shopping in Quinnsworth and Saint Bernard's is Gilesy.

~Rebel~

Lucas has been great at CB too I think.

OwaynOTT

If only the league was limited to 6 teams, reckon we could win it then.

Yep exactly. Off the Ball is feckin ****e anyway. The lads on that are the worst type of smug know it alls. If Giles weren't their pundit i'm sure they wouldnt give him the time of day. He's constantly on it, can't bear it anymore.

I still think his talk on actual football is terrific - his reading of the game, and knowledge of tactics etc is great. All the timeless things.

It's when he talks specifically about current footballers that he looks a fool. He speaks with the same level of self assurance, but clearly simply doesn't watch anywhere near as much football as he used to, so just doesn't have the knowledge of present-day players and teams. So he bluffs his way through it with the same kinds of comments you hear from the guy perched down the pub.

J Mysterio

Firmino has somehow managed to remain anonymous in the game - what's going on with him?

Wouldn't have said that... he hasn't been the key man, but he's involved in almost all of those little link ups we've had around the box.

Yeah, I retract my statement actually, hahaha.

Pepp1989

Wait... So Liverpool play better with Hendo lallana and gini in midfield? Shut up!! Who knew?

His best game in months, for me.

Delighted with the game. Scrappy 2nd half, but understandable considering our recent form.

We have something now to push on from.

Utopia Parkway

No game for 16 days now.

mosstin

Absolutely wonderful that. Where was that energy the last month? Regardless, 3 huge points and 16 days to rest tired bodies. Gini was absolutely immense tonight.

mansize

Woohoo! Go Liverpool

Harry Palmr

Good game, good game.

You can tell I wasn't able to watch it until the last 10 and even then I was worried I might create two Mignolet flaps.

noodler

Delighted.

Still concerned where the goals would have come from without space in behind for Mane.

However, this lets us look up again.

fred funk }{

Super stuff. I can watch Match Of The Day again. Haven't watched it in ages.

SlickRic

1. Mané makes us infinitely better because he threatens in behind.

2. We're better against better teams because we don't have the ball all the time being expected to pick holes in a defence.

It's not difficult to analyse us.

Could have been worse. If we hadn't scored twice and they scored once we would have lost, so I'm happy.
