    But it's the kind of thing that's been happening to us quite a lot this season though.

    Yeah, but we wouldn't deny we're having a bad season.

    Gakpo really starting to look a player in this team. Still not sure what position is best in but it seems like him and Nunez can interchange a lot depending on the opposition.

    If the RB is speedy, can use gakpos dribling to cut inside. If slow, can use Nunez pace out there.

    The 2 finishes by gakpo were quality today. First was just classic inside forward and the second was a guy that ozzing confidence.

    Best part of the game was Salah absolutely destroying Martinez for that assist though <laugh>

    Or when Salah just did 3 United players on the half way line with some control then a drag back. Was like watching Salah of 2 years ago. Seemed like he wanted that prem record today

    Remember when Elliott passed right to them and almost sored?

    When the other two actually could run then it worked.

    I never said a thing about trent, when he's bothered

    Gakpo needs nunez. Klopp signed his Bobby firmino replacement there and he's put nunez running beyond. What he does next with Diaz is going to be interesting

    Tbf I said that was debunked on your last match thread 8 page win.

    I've been doing match threads the day before the game on our board and that seemed to work.... until today :bandit:

    Casemiro is a WC midfielder who's won the CL more times than Elliot's had sex and he was made to look ordinary today, lost the ball countless times.

    Great to see Mo looking a bit more like himself, taking people on and earning some of that massive wage.
    If he keeps it up I might even bung him a few quid of my own.

    It’s a shame not one of them is left footed to be a replacement for Salah but gakpo Nunez diaz looks a tidy front 3. Jota can also use both feet when comes to finishing so could go that side.

    Saying that, Salah on todays form should be good for few years if can keep that up!

    I think given amount of game time no issue with how much each will get. Diaz will be brilliant in those games where it’s right and can use actual skill t go past someone. Something we lack in the other 4 forwards atm.

    When we had the front 3, we alwsys said the drop off i quality was big and we got lucky they avoided big injuries. Now we have that cover to cope

    speaking of which are you still glad you spent £85m on Antony rather than £39m on Gakpo ?

    Antony is rapidly turning into another Richarlison in my book. Both have annoying attitude and very punchable faces - and I'm a non-violent person.

    why ?
    asking because all i have seen from Antony is come inside and hit a left foot shot at the far post and thats it .

    That was effectively the criticism of him at Ajax where various ex Dutch players felt he didn't have the temperament to appeal to us or Man City as a potential signing.

    Having said that, I had my doubts about Gakpo too.

    I've seen a lot more of both players and I know Antony is the better footballer.

    One performance today in an all-round good Liverpool performance won't change that.
