It looked like a makeshift back line and it played like one.

Switched off at 2-0 up.....not acceptable but I think is understandable.

Not sure I'd keep Klavan or Moreno for next season, they are mainly backups but I'm not sure we can rely on them even for that IMO.

played well in general and took his goal well and it was nice to see him back on the score sheet

Whatever about klavan Moreno more often than not drags those around him down performance wise. Although klavan isn't getting any younger....both should be upgraded and doing so shouldn't be difficult over the next window or two.

Karius can't be bailing out Gomez either tbf imo & I'm a fan of Gomez & not of karius.

Still, overall that result shouldn't hurt us all going well.

Moreno can be launched into space for all I care, just get rid. He isn't even a sound back up - he does the same thing time and again, quite how a left sided left back gets his body shape wrong and indeed his whole body the wrong side of a player so often is beyond me and apparently beyond the coaching staff.

I'd pay to watch him get launched.

2 goals today for Wilson.

Could he play the final league game of the season since the Championship will be over?

I doubt he could be re-registered from Hull to us outside a transfer window, but I'm not sure.

I'm pretty sure we did something like this recently with a different player. Not sure though. As things stand, the Brighton game may have something riding on it.

Couldn't have done much more on loan. He practically kept Hull up.

Absolute scumbag comments by klopp

Klopp:
"West Brom obviously decided not to water the pitch at half-time and it was quite difficult after that. You (the interviewer) have never played football obviously because it makes a massive difference.

"If the pitch is dry you can't pass the ball through three or four yards. That is the easiest thing in the world, if they play football, but if you do it like West Brom the ball is constantly in the air [so] you don't need a wet pitch but that's how it is so we have to deal with that.

"They can do it next year playing football with a dry pitch in the Championship. That's how it is and we have to deal with it."


LOCK HIM UP!!! You can't have Klopp making such outrageous comments and upsetting the soft lads on the internet. The dirty swine!

Harry Palmr

That's brilliant for Wilson, 6 goals now I think. When he goes out on pre-season he better get game time v Man City, Man Utd, Napoli etc rather than Preston, Tramere, Bury.

I saw the post and thought "cool, Klopp's had a go at someone", but then I saw what was actually said. Just a little disappointed it wasn't actually anything juicy

Osmosis Jones

Keita got a goal today/forced an own-goal.



Keep in mind he was on the bench until Leipzig were already 3-0 down and down to 10 men, was only on the pitch 10 minutes before the goal.

Wonder if Kane knows that FA Cup goals do not go towards the golden boot

He can I believe, Sergi canos played a couple seasons ago after his initial Brentford loan.

Potential Underachiever

Shows signs of great progression that we didn't salute the crowd after todays 2-2 with WBA.:pac:

You can't underestimate how dodgy Moreno makes us back there. He must spread panic every time he goes near the ball.

He was on the wrong side of players constantly.
He was swiping at the ball aimlessly.
He was heading the ball straight up in the air.
He was launching into rash tackles.

When you have that back there, it spreads unease because you can't trust what he'll do. Of course we're going to let in sloppy goals. I'd say the whole lot of them are on edge.

This is mad. Is Moreno to blame by proxy for things other players do now?

A Defender with consistently erratic performances will affect the others.

I've no idea why people still waste their breath defending Moreno.

Moreno is a bomb with indeterminate fuse, none the other player know with certainty what he will do in a given situation beyond it almost certainly being the wrong thing. That's hard to guard against and players end up spending time wondering about one of their own and not at times enough about what the opposition is going to do - "should cover be given, if so early or late, is X going to do it or shall I?, where's he going now? what the fvck?!" and so on.

"Moreno made him do it" is a mad way of explaining away other defenders switching off.

It's even madder to blame the left back when it's the right back, right centre half, keeper and striker combining errors for the equaliser

I understand what you are saying, but think of it this way, if Robertson was playing instead, what would the outcome be?

I believe that it would be a lot different. Hence our backline Tuesday night will be a lot different.

God knows why you're in here taking an interest!

That back line was Gomez (out for a month), VVD, Klaven (part timer), Moreno (banished at LB since January) so it's hardly a shock it was creaky. Everyone committed at least one clanger today which by current Liverpool standards is anomalous but as they'll probably be doing it again against Stoke we'll have to expect more arse-clenching ineptitude.

To use Dunphy's terminology, Moreno is a headbanger.

Headbanger or Hammerhead??
At least with today no key player picked up an injury as our squad is pure barebones outside the starting XI

Reckon Roma will park the bus and hoof it long to Dzeko all game. Expecting a very physical battle on Tuesday night. This tie could be settled by an away goal, i think it will be tighter than most think

I think anyone that doesn't think It'll be tight is a bit of an eejit.

Dont be at yourself

Don't mind giving up the away goal if we can take a win to Rome. You'd fancy us to score out there if Roma have to attack us.

I was at Anfield in 01 when we had a 0-2 lead from the first leg. Went to 0-1 on the night and then gave away a penalty only for the ref to change his mind and give a corner. Jebus, my heart was pounding. Some atmosphere tho, think there was a tribute that night too to "Sir" Bob Paisley.
Don't think I could take a game like it this time. Not sure the defence could take an onslaught like we had that night. Luckily Totti was in the stands cos he was arguing with the club. He could have made the difference.

Not giving up an away goal on Tuesday is Hugely important. I can see the tie being decided on away goals, so I would much prefer we don't give up any.

They haven't conceded a goal at Home in the CL this season. Chelsea, Barca, Athletico Madrid all failed to score there. They won their last 16 match and quarters on away goals. You'd fancy us to score there but no away goal is very important IMO.

Yeah, just because, on a purely by the numbers basis, you prefer to get Roma instead of Real or Bayern, doesn't mean you think you'll beat them handily.

For me it just means we even gone from heavy outsiders to slight, slight favourites.

Trying to find a silver lining from yesterday's throwing of the win, it should at least shake any possible over confidence or complacency (which, in fairness, I doubt was a conscious issue but may have been lurking) out of the team, even if he was resting players and the usual suspects were playing in a weakened defense.

Any doubts that TAA is an automatic pick over Gomez? What a difference a month makes....

BorneTobyWilde

Think they can restrict us an Anfield, and Džeko will be a thorn in our side. I seem to remember he always was when in Premier League. A really frustrating person to deal with, always scoring against us. Lovern and VVD will have a real annoyance on their hands dealing with him. Good in air, good on ground, good in close, good from distance. He's an all rounder and will always gets his 20 a season.

Agent Coulson

Felix Brych has been named the ref for the first leg against Roma.

He was the ref for the first leg against City as well.


Also probably the the best ref in Europe for me.

At least it's not Lovren talking up how good he is before the Roma game.

Can't Sky Sports News do it?

Watching Juve v Napoli, and all it's doing is make me want Jorginho at Liverpool even more. He'd be immense in our side.

Agent Coulson

Having Jorginho in front of our defence and behind Keita and Ox would be a great way to start next season.

Coach meet on Tuesday in the same spot as for the City one. Hopefully the idiots from that one stay away this time.
