After the first 20 minutes, he looked good alright.

If he was English & cost 50m he would be getting alot of praise for how comfortable he is on the ball.

Ever since that Cruyff turn when he came on against West Ham couple weeks ago he's hardly put a foot wrong

Shanee.

Never say die attitude. Everton were shocking in second half, Danny did well when he came on to fashion that chance for Mane to tap in. Boom

Senegal are entitled to have him join up with them on the morning of the Sunderland game, has there been something said about them allowing him to play for Liverpool instead and go to the international squad a day late?

I don't know to be honest. But a lot of brown envelopes and a plane that will accomodate all the players could be negotiated perhaps.

Here, not to be that guy, but Henderson is lucky that his career isn't in the balance after that Barkley challenge. Fair play to him for being magnanimous about it, and obviously the win helps there, but he's haunted to not have broken his leg. If it was planted, you're looking at a shattered fibia & tibia job.

Muahahaha

Another nice touch by getting the 3 points tonight is that Arsenal only lost to Everton last week so in effect our loss to Bournemouth has been somewhat absorbed vis a vis battling them for top 4.

I still hate his brother for stopping Lucas' shot back in 2007. Derby debut, inches from being the instant hero and pleb Neville blocks his shot on the line with his hands. The following few years could have been a lot kinder to poor Lucas if he'd scored that.

Another red card (but not for an assault injuring someone) and a 4-0 thumping for his team again will do me.

Unlikely to be that pleasurable though. Been a while since we got a late winner, hasn't it? I don't think it's happened this season that we've had an injury time winner (not for us anyhow), so tonight would be good for it.

For your next trick, can you post tomorrow's lotto numbers?

The pain and anguish caused by a late Liverpool win is simply glorious.

I like Allen as a player but Gini does all Joe did and then some. A very worthwhile upgrade

I just realised I have the whole match thread to read through today.

I feel wijinaldum suffers from a lack of confidence to shoot. I watched some games of him in Holland and he seemed much more willing to score back then ,compared to now

Wonderful way to win a derby! Was maybe slightly concerned during the first 30 minutes and wondering would Everton have a new DVD out by this morning but we were immense for the other 69 minutes or whatever it was and deserved the win.

Barkley's tackle was a shocker!!! You could see Klopp immediately put his hands on his head and thought Hendo was going to be in huge trouble. I was surprised myself that he got up from it.
And then Koeman comes out saying Barkley MIGHT have been lucky not to be sent off but Lovren definitely should have seen red.
Where would you get it? Cringeworthy stuff instead of just acknowledging the tackle was brutal.
This being the same man who came on after they beat Arsenal and slagged off Wenger for always moaning about the ref when his team loses.

Huge credit to Klavan and Lovren last night. Despite Alan Smith's bizarre comments about Klavan early on, they both did great and handled Lukaku brilliantly.
Sometimes against a huge tank of a forward like him you have to accept that you won't always be first to things in the air so you let him get his flicks and win the breaking balls and we did that all night.
A lot of other defenders would have been barging into him and giving away countless frees but our two CB's got it spot on.
No Matip and still we looked completely solid, Mignolet had barely anything to do.

Would love to have been in with our fans when that goal went it. Great way to beat the Bitters!

Happy fookin Christmas indeed!!!

Slightly different role I would have thought.

Sorry for the triple post. Can't seem to delete while on mobile (sitting on a plane in Edinburgh waiting for fog to clear in Dublin airport)

Yeah when he made that comment after 23 minutes I was wondering if we'd been watching the same game, thought Klavan had done really well. I didn't hold out much hope for him after the early games he played in but he was very good when he came on against West Ham and I thought was very good last night (only saw highlights of Boro game on MOTD)

Throw in the fact that Lukaku et al scored 8 past Klavan a few weeks ago and it prob throws an extra shine on his performance last night!

So in injury time last night (and after many, many pints) I did this to try and mitigate the misery of the draw



Any chance of a whip round?

Just had a thought there about Wijnaldum.

Wouldn't mind a few goals from mid though if I was greedy, something that Allen didn't provide us enough with either tbh.....

You contributed as much to the result as Sturridge did. :pac:

Cartman78

Only saw the highlights last night - Everton huffed and puffed by the looks of it but we seemed reasonably comfortable throughout (?).
7 points from Bournmouth (A), West Ham (H), Boro (A) and Everton (A) is probably a reasonable return on paper - shame we made such a mess of the 2 potentially easier games.
Final random observation - I was hugely underwhelmed with the signings of Mane and Wijnaldum tbh but happy to admit they've both proved me wrong big time. Hopefully Sturridge can step up to fill the void when Mane goes to AFCON

I get the joke but gini has goals in his ability that we have not seen yet.I know Allen is having a great season but it could be that we won't see the best from gini for a year or two when he will hit a purple patch of adding alot of goals also .I don't know offhand what lallana scored last year but he has added alot of goals this year.Wasn't the way lallana went to klopp to celebrate fantastic. Love the way klopp looks half sane till he puts his jaw to one side and looks absolutely crackers then

Chelsea have 2 very winnable games coming up which could leave them on 13 wins in a row. That's nuts.

We've won some big away matches this season and are strong at home. Barring a major injury crisis we should got top 4 tbh.

Mané going in January is a mess though. **** the ANC

rob316

That was glorious last night. After Everton spending 95 mins trying to injure our players the look on their faces after the goal like they just got a bag of coal for Christmas was ****ing priceless.

Mane has been a fantastic signing, really pleased with him. Tough, fast and scores goals, plenty to like about him.

I feel sick over those 5 points still, we could be right on top of Chelsea but hopefully our blip is over now and we can push on. Stoke H, City H, Sunderland A, all are winnable.

I'm very interested to see how Chelsea do without Kante and costa at the weekend, but like you say their next 2 games are very winnable.

If Chelsea win at home to Bournemouth and Stoke, then after 19 games they will have 49 points, which is on target for 98 points (I know it never works out that way). That's nuts.

Great point, Wij' is only settling in and is doing great. We don't miss Allen at all, no offence to Joe meant in any way.

Also Wij' isn't a nailed on starter and when Lallana is playing in the 10 role with 3 lads as a front 3 ahead of him it makes it harder for the other midfielders to score from a spacial and positioning perspective.

Let's not try to apply logic here guys


Booze is a powerful thing

5starpool

Wijnaldum is playing a much deeper role generally than he has been previously as well, so that is generally going to result in less goals, plus he is still adjusting to it and a new team. He has done well, especially since he has not always played, although he has done most games.

With the City and Sunderland games especially coming so soon after each other, I expect a bit of rotation for the Sunderland game. Hopefully not too much will be necessary, but I reckon the likes of Lucas/Sturridge/Moreno/Klavan could start that game, with whoever from Can/Wijnaldum doesn't play vs City to start too, plus Coutinho might be due a start then hopefully too.

MD1990

Coutinho I doubt will be ready to start vs City.
A great player to have to come off the bench.

I don't think so either, but hopefully will start vs Sunderland a couple of days later.

I can see the druken logic tbf.

If it's a draw you make a small profit. If Liverpool score you won't actually care about the money.

If Everton had scored a winner I'm guessing we might not have heard about it!!

They could have been still playing until now and Everton wouldn't have scored yet
