    I'm sure the pundits will be quick to tell us 'it's okay, this is another transition year for Liverpool.

    Next year we'll really see what they're made of'

    Wolves making our victory look a little ordinary at the moment. HT: 2-0 at Anfield.

    Gerrard 'the referee let Liverpool down there'.


    Forget the abysmal defending to go with it - straight to blaming the ref.

    A true Liverpool man.

    As we both know, we don't have a glut of strikers, hence our particular method of play.

    Glad for them. Wolves fans have had bugger all to cheer about over the last few years, just hope they can complete the job.

    And we weren't playing a weakened team (apart from Mane, of course).

    OK, I'll go and see Liverpool's line-up [pause]. OK, that's a largely unknown [to me] list of players. Point taken.

    Just seen Wolves possession stats so far. Even less than ours. It's definitely not how much of the ball you have but what you do with it when you do have it.

    Liverpool 79% - 21% Wolves.

    Interesting situation nearly arose there.

    Costa didn't quite keep the ball in on the left touchline, but if he had he'd knocked it beyond the Liverpool player and would, in all likelihood, have had the pace to get there.

    BUT he was blocked off by a Liverpool sub warming up. Can the referee award anything in this situation (if the ball had stayed in) ?

    Anfield is just too tight these days, I'm sure there used to be more room from the pitch to the advertising hoardings. Both us and now Wolves have had players wacking into them, hope the refs report these things.

    Woodburn should've been booked there. Cheating is not going to make refs more likely to award penalties lads.

    They're just not hungry like the Wolves.

    *looks around innocently*
