It was interesting to see.

Is there a confidence thing that having 3 guys with allen being the busy one forward of the other 2 that allows the others to make those fast pressing moves?

Did allen just do really well first half and drag the others up?

Did Firmino just play so much better at 9?

Did stoke give us too much space?

Did stone run out of talent and we cut off the good balls to that front line and the rest couldn't cope?... our lot have had that done to them a lot.
 
Seems the reason stoke are not higher in table is front 4 don't really offer much defensively.

Tobes... given you saw them last week. Did you see the same?
They're good on the counter, and if you give them space that front 4 can hurt you. But they got the benefit of a spawny mis hit cross that was deemed a worldie lol, and a penalty that never was at Goodison.

They've struggled to score goals all season that's their Achilles heel. They won't beat you at Anfield unless they go industrial old skool Stoke imo.
 
As much as he is boring. We seem to play better when Milner plays, i wouldn't say he is a leader but he encourages those around him to simply run more..

When we partner him and a fully fit Henderson next together, we could have a midfield with the capability to pressure and hassle teams to an even better standard.

We were good before he came on so lucas and can were there with allen and we bossed them.

Cameron was taken off....

It'll be interesting.

They have to do something as we should not give them a counter attacking platform at 1-0 up.

A few times we should have got second goal. But they also showed very little composure when they had it.
 
Milner played well to be fair. I think everyone played their part today - would be harsh to say anyone played poorly .
 
We should build the midfield around him. The lad is only 21.

Give him 2 years.

Get him a really good partner to learn off.

I think it'll be interesting as Rodgers tried 433 and failed for lack of goals. Tonight we got one and might've have missed it for all our good work.

Can we build on this reaction? Will Klopp revert to 4231?
 
Please let us bring in the guy who can't get a game at the bottom of the league club.

We don't need an inexperienced boy at CB. The last thing we need.

Mascherano couldn't get a game under Pardew at West Ham. Pique and Pogba couldn't get a game under Fergie.

The lad is talented - hope Klopp gives him a chance so we can assess for ourselves.

He tired and was trying to lallana himself out of cul-de-sacs towards the end, but I remember a young Gerrard at his age often doing the same thing. He is class, and he is the real deal. the germans rarely make mistakes, and there's a reason why he was captain of a talented U21 team. Our future captain.

I'll let you retract those examples if you wish, because you're honestly not expecting me to take that comparison seriously, are you?

I think Klopp will play 4231 once he has a) the players he wants and b) any players who can play the formation.
