    He played well.

    As did Varane and also Dalot, so credit there to him as I thought he'd struggle.

    That's a decent point all told, with a heavily patched up team. Filled with someone else's signings!

    Apart from ones from their academy, Klopp signed every one of his players.

    And it took him four years to win anything.

    The entitlement amongst some of our 'support' is staggering sometimes.

    Considering that everyone expected us to get thrashed, we did not bad, considering that we concede goals for fun, we did not bad, considering we can't defend, we did not bad, considering I got 17/4 for a draw, we did ****ing great.

    Seriously, the team turned up today ( even if saying a draw at Anfield is a result still hurts), but given all the fuss and press columns about our imminent demise, everyone - even Antony, put in a shift, we didn't collapse, we didn't capitulate, we fought hard and well, so good result, a decent platform to regroup and pray to god that our ill and injured get back to form quickly.

    What nonsense! So if a manager hasn’t signed a player, we can’t expect him to get the best out of them? What a ridiculous idea with no practical application. If we think of the implication of that fallacy, it effectively means most managers should be expected to fail with a new team given they didn’t sign the players.

    Which club in the world has a luxury of changing first 11 because they changed their manager, even in the first three years? To that effect, we can say that David Moyes over-performed given he was only given Fellani. Plus Sir Alex allegedly left him with a sht team.

    All I’m seeing here is bunch of useless excuses to shield the manager that he himself knows that he has massively underwhelmed in his second season and he has no one to blame but himself.

    I give up.

    Yeah, let's sack another manager, it's never anyone's else fault.

    You're ****ing clueless.

    That is a bullshit call on Antony.
    If there is one player in the squad that always puts a shift in it's Antony, the man gets up and down the pitch all game to try and create plus help out his fullback. I have even seen him over on the left helping out the fullback there.

    Unfortunately for Antony Son Park, for all his efforts, he produces absolutely nothing. Defenders all the way down to the Conference League know how he plays, what he's going to do - we need somethi9nbg more than just effort, IMO Antony is simply predictable and pointless.

    Yeh but he always puts a shift in which was the point.

    Anyway no Bruno. Anyone think we would've come away with a result if he'd been playing? No me neither.

    We have two tough games coming up - West Ham away and Aston Villa at home.

    We could go with the same set up again, but I think we need to give serious consideration to playing Mason Mount and Amad Diallo seeing as both returned to full training two weeks ago. And there's no point waiting another 3 weeks for an easier fixture before giving them a go.
