Probably lots rested for Europa league, although I suspect that was the FA Cup replay we lost. We also had 2 league cup matches that month. That was the starting team, but not reflective of the first XI at all.

Was that a League Cup fixture or something? Cause our squad then was muuuch better than that. Most of our first teamers at the time are not in that squad.
Mig, Clyne, and Lovren are the only players in that list of 18 that were regular starters.

Prob had League Cup semis that time, so some may have been out.
Still, stinking squad.

MD1990 · 30-01-2018 11:16pm

Vital win tonight.

Firmino is brillant. Henderson coming into form too.

Iused2likebusts · 30-01-2018 11:18pm

Good win karius even made a save even though he did fumble it. I'll be hoping for a utd win or at worst a draw tomorrow. Us losing coutinho and utd getting sanchez is a game changer before that id have fancied our chances of 2nd. Some big games coming up in the next 4 gws . Spurs utd, spurs Liverpool, spurs arsenal, utd Chelsea, city chelsea, arsenal city. Things will be a lot clearer come the end of Feb. We currently have the best remaining fixtures with arsenal and city out of the way.

MD1990 · 30-01-2018 11:21pm

Mane's was poor his 1st touch was awful tonight.

Hopefully get out his rut soon.

magma69 · 30-01-2018 11:22pm

Edit.

magma69 · 30-01-2018 11:23pm

Clearly, I don't know how to respond to a post ffs.

United and Chelsea are a notch ahead of us in terms of quality. Think it'll be a battle for 4th between us and Spurs so hoping for a United win also. Arsenal are a notch below Spurs and Liverpool, especially after losing Sanchez. Don't think they're in with a realistic shout of top 4.

Don't think there's anything between Utd, Chelsea and Liverpool this year. Any of them could finish 2nd still.

Think United have probably cemented second with Sanchez on board. Chelsea have a better squad than us imo. That will stand to them in the business end of the season.

Things aren't coming off for him, but he still contributed to lots of good moments.

He's working his ass off at least, and getting involved.

j8wk2feszrnpao · 30-01-2018 11:34pm

So Swansea are bottom of the table, and then beat Liverpool and Arsenal at home to move out of the relegation spots.

And a great assist for Fun Bobby's goal.

No. I like a bit of a meltdown in here. Keeps the balance in the universe.

Harry Palmr · 30-01-2018 11:41pm

Not really, Liverpool had 900 passes tonight which is a ludicrous number, Matip set a record for Liverpool in the PL era with about 160. Huddersfield were a bit of disgrace really.

I missed all bar the last 30 mins, but we didn't look great for that. So no, I'm not happy. I'll be happy when we won the league

PhuckHugh · 30-01-2018 11:46pm

Great responses ... i'd be very worried if people on here were happy

Vicxas · 30-01-2018 11:51pm

I don't feel so bad about the Swansea result now

Grayditch · 30-01-2018 11:54pm

If we were playing a team that were remotely up for it, we'd be in trouble. Saying that, we didn't seem to run ourselves ragged with Spurs coming up on Sunday, so maybe that was all part of the plan*.

*-it wasn't.

Well you should, it was entirely your fault.

Harry Palmr · 30-01-2018 11:55pm

We should as Swansea were not playing like a good quality team, Liverpool were just dogcrap.

Firmino is now 5th in the charts. 11 goals and 5 assists which is the same as Lukaku who is having a terrible season. :pac:

noodler · 30-01-2018 11:59pm

If I had to nitpick, I'd say I wonder where the opener was coming from before Can took a punt.

Thank god he did tho

I wouldn't say that about Lukaku in fairness. Some people have no memories pre-mid November.

He's also awkward looking and easy to criticise.

31-01-2018 12:06am

An away 3 pts & a clean sheet.
Twill keep James Pearce and Co quiet

Brego888 · 31-01-2018 12:06am

So the penalty.
Salah took it and scored so we are all happy but it really looked like Milner was supposed to be on pens after the way Salah apologised after scoring.
Not a great fan of that. You don't go against team orders.

31-01-2018 12:09am

So Liverpool secretly want Utd to win tomorrow night? :P

Charlie19 · 31-01-2018 12:10am

I would've liked to see Ings come on for Salah rather than Ox and maybe Solanke get a few more minutes, other than that It was a well needed three points.

TitianGerm · 31-01-2018 12:11am

And our defence is bad.

I do agree with this to a point, we did nothing up until Can's shot where we were just passing the ball sideways across our defense at the halfway line.

But we did score and to be honest, Huddersfield did nothing to suggest they'd do otherwise but to concede a Firminho goal anyway.

We have gained three points and we've done it easily. There's no insight to be gleamed from this game. The league table looks a bit better and there's one less game for other teams to catch us. We beat them 3-0 and they put up no resistance. Good stuff.

Now plan for Sunday. They have to play Man U tomorrow and we can put them to bed on Sunday.

Draw would be my preferred result and If that cant be achieved, then I hope spurs give ye a good Rogering.

Screw that I want Spurs to win tomorrow night. i have my eyes on 2nd spot and United need to drop points. We can beat Spurs at the weekend

ShamoBuc · 31-01-2018 12:18am

Preferred option, Spurs win for me, without any shadow of a doubt, then a draw.

I'd be the same if it was the other way around

But in all seriousness getting Spurs to lose puts further distance with the current top 4 teams.

Iused2likebusts · 31-01-2018 12:23am

Its tough playing against a team that parks the bus its not going to be chance after chance. The first goal is vital then the game opens up a bit. Most times this season we find a way to score as most games we face this set up. The odd time we don't and then you face a load of experts come out with the klopp has to come up with a way to beat a defensive set up. They quickly forget all the previous times he did just that. We have lost 3 league games only one against a defensive team. Its usually a strategy that fails against us.

I get that but I'm hopeful Liverpool can put together another run and maybe Spurs having another blip, like they did earlier in the season.

Testiment to the job that Klopp (and the club) have done in terms of signings in that time.

Very easy to improve on that mind you.
It is a real pity none of those young players have really progressed. Ibe the only one and that is elsewhere

Delighted with that result tonight, puts us back on track.
Huge week for Spurs now, they are under pressure but two wins puts them in a race for second

Doubt he can be classed as #2 anymore. Even when Heaton is fit again I can't see Pope actually being dropped by Dyche. Heaton probably go to the bench with Lindegaard released after his deal expires.

I have just spent two hours sat with a Burnley fan (Sivam BTW in case you are looking for him, Burnley, born bread and buttered he maintains) who was at pains to tell me that Heaton is a far superior keeper to Pope, ally that with Dyche's interview where he said that once Heaton is fit he is back in and I would make him first choice.

Don't let that skew your agenda mind

BorneTobyWilde · 31-01-2018 12:36am

Goalie McDifference looking ok now with United and Chelsea. We can get some big victories and over take them soon.

Why are we being infiltrated by Man U fans pretending to be sound? It's weird. Is there not a General Premier League thread?

Well judging by their superthread over the last month or two, they post so much about us they might as well just do it in here altogether.
