Klopp obviously irritated by the current situation and I thought you could see it in the press conference. Not happy with the current quarantine rules and how it was possible to let the money men from UEFA to come in without a problem but the same exceptions would not be granted for players.

But I liked his dig at Southgate as well, when asked about Gomez and what he would need to do to start. He said he thought Gomez is good enough to play for England at present but he was not picked because Southgate wants his players to start at their clubs. Then just threw in that apparently that does not count for Stones though.

A little bit worried with our midfield options today. Henderson really needs to find some form and keep the midfield ticking over today.

Would like a midfield of hendo, milner and keita but I reckon the Ox may start.

Really is last chance saloon for Ox if he starts.

Time for him to shite now or get off the toilet.

Powerful

Fitz* · 16-10-2021 11:47am

Worried about Keita after the 3 games close together, now with this one too. Can feel his hamstring pinging already.

If I could thank this twice I would, well informed and informative post 👍.

Question, is there any comeback for clubs that have players crocked like this, or is it more hassle than it's worth?

On today, I'd expect Watford to try to repeat the trouble caused by Brentford, doubling up on Trent in particular on the far post with long balls, so we'll need to be aware of that.

It's a tough game given the circumstances, I'd take your arm off for a narrow win at this stage.

Regardless of anything and everything, if we have pretensions of winning a title this season, we will want to be winning today. No excuses.

BorneTobyWilde · 16-10-2021 12:17pm

Strong team, Milner the sitter in midfield? So he's safe hands. Back 4 is strongest it can be, Not too worried about keeper, he's a no frills,no silliness type, we'll score with that front 3, Klopp should know this and keep it solid early on. Don't play into their hands. Drop everyone deep is order of the day, then hit them with the left, hit them with the right KO'ed

16-10-2021 12:22pm

This shouldn’t be a tough fixture for a team with title aspirations. Apart from Kelleher, this is a strong team, albeit not the strongest we could put out. Everyone of our team is bar the goalie is a premiership and European cup winner, anything less than a win is a disaster.

BorneTobyWilde · 16-10-2021 12:35pm

Keeper not messing about, just clearing it, that's what we wish for. need to win the dropped ball though

BorneTobyWilde · 16-10-2021 12:38pm

Mane !!

They will have all his GPS data from those matches and must think he has a game in him.

paulie21 · 16-10-2021 12:38pm

What a ball from Mo

~Rebel~ · 16-10-2021 12:40pm

Incredible goal! christ... really brilliant!

OwaynOTT · 16-10-2021 12:41pm

Mo Salah destroying Rose already

eigrod · 16-10-2021 12:41pm

That’s a stunning goal. Salah is on a different level right now.

Fitz* · 16-10-2021 12:41pm

Salah is on one today.

Nice finish Mane too. Quietly back in form.

BorneTobyWilde · 16-10-2021 12:41pm

I'm loving these Salah to Mane goals, THEY'RE BACK!

Utopia Parkway · 16-10-2021 12:45pm

Be nice to get a 2nd here while Watford are still all over the shop. THey will surely improve at some stage.

Utopia Parkway · 16-10-2021 12:50pm

Mo was in there and looked onside. Took a heavy touch.

theoneeyedman · 16-10-2021 12:52pm

This game should be over, need to be more ruthless because half time will improve them.

We've been sharp, but Watford have been atrocious in this first 20 minutes.

Utopia Parkway · 16-10-2021 12:52pm

Bobby's passing has been poor so far.

~Rebel~ · 16-10-2021 12:59pm

I'm really not seeing that 'foul' that was just called on Mane... 'pool were clean through too.

BorneTobyWilde · 16-10-2021 1:00pm

Some ball from Trent to Salah there,

BorneTobyWilde · 16-10-2021 1:04pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118028048#Comment_118028048

Yea nothing in it, especially under the new rules

theoneeyedman · 16-10-2021 1:08pm

Needed that one, good boy Bobby!

Agent Coulson · 16-10-2021 1:08pm

It’s like it’s 2018 again with the front 3 all scoring this season

BorneTobyWilde · 16-10-2021 1:09pm

Kelleher boring me to death, that a boy 😊

SlickRic · 16-10-2021 1:16pm

We are so lucky to have had James Milner.

ShamoBuc · 16-10-2021 1:18pm

There were times in that first half when the Watford players were literally scratching their heads.

Kelleher is a good luck charm. He's started 2 games in the last week and barely even had kick in either!

SM01 · 16-10-2021 1:21pm

Another goal would've been the icing on the cake, however that was an excellent performance in the first half.

BorneTobyWilde · 16-10-2021 1:23pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118028143#Comment_118028143

And when he does touch it it's up up and away, ''see you much later ball, byeeeeeeeee!''

BorneTobyWilde · 16-10-2021 1:25pm

GD is as good as a point, would love to see the flood gates open, but as we know ourselves against City, no way Watford play as poorly in second half, we can hope they do, but it's not typical of any team to play worse as the game goes on.

BorneTobyWilde · 16-10-2021 1:39pm

Olde El Infirminio !

SM01 · 16-10-2021 1:40pm

Boom! Bobby!

~Rebel~ · 16-10-2021 1:40pm

Good stuff!

fyfe79 · 16-10-2021 1:40pm

That is a ridiculous rule, in fairness. Worked in our favour just there and legally fine but, realistically, that's offside.

SlickRic · 16-10-2021 1:41pm

He's done it again.

Tell me he's not the best in the world.

eigrod · 16-10-2021 1:41pm

Genius at work. Best player in the World

TitianGerm · 16-10-2021 1:41pm

Unbelievable Salah

Agent Coulson · 16-10-2021 1:41pm

Salah is the man now pay him the money.

Utopia Parkway · 16-10-2021 1:41pm

Mo, goal of the season part 2.

~Rebel~ · 16-10-2021 1:42pm

Holy fcking **** the man is a God!!

Best in the world.

retalivity · 16-10-2021 1:42pm

F*ck me!

SM01 · 16-10-2021 1:43pm

Give him whatever. Just sign him up!

Princess Consuela Bananahammock · 16-10-2021 1:44pm

So, who were all the doomsayers in here earlier, "potential banana-skin"? "I'll take a scrappy 2-1 win"...?

Knex* · 16-10-2021 1:44pm

Just signed in to say that Salah has reached that same level of, laugh out loud at the sheer absurdity of what you’re witnessing, that Suarez reached in 2013.

He is outrageous. Best in the world.
