Well seems like we are going to be the neutrals team to watch this season. Bit ****ing nerve wracking for us reds though anyone else fancy a comfortable 2-0 win occasionally - oh make that 3-0 as it will be many years before i feel comfortable with just a 2 goal lead. First full Klopp season looks like it is going to be a fun ride
Genuinely don't get nerves anymore. Not until the last ten-twelve at least anyway. I just enjoy / get frustrated at our matches
Really entertaining game and an excellent win for you lads I can see plenty of similarities with the 'we don't let this ****ing slip' season (sorry, couldn't resist that!); mesmerising going forward but still leaky and creaky at the back. The big difference though, and this is why I think you'll challenge for the top prize this year, is that there is no reliance on one individual player to get the goals as there was with Suarez. The spread of your goalscorers is frightening - I think you must have 4-5 players on almost half a dozen goals, which is astonishing this early on in the season. That could be the big difference come the end of the season: Ourselves and City are massively reliant on Kane and Aguero respectively for goals, as are (to a lesser extent) Chelsea on Costa and Arsenal on Sanchez. I've been a massive fan of Klopp for years - as a person and as a manager - and although I find the media's fetish with him annoying to the point of downright creepy, if we don't win the league this year I'd much rather it be you lot than the two London scum or the City Mercenaries.
Crystal Palace manager Alan Pardew speaking to BBC Sport: "There were some penalty decisions which I thought were tight. We had a tight one last season with the same referee." Fine for Pardew.
Alan Pardew was talking about penalty not given to Palace. He never mentioned the clear hand ball referee failed to give to Liverpool. Double standard.
He didn't say the ref was wrong... Just some decisions were tight. And he's right. Their third call for a penalty would certainly have been a free kick elsewhere on the field. The other 2 weren't penalties but you see them given for less. Palace probably did deserve a penalty for that foul from Moreno though.
He also said he doesn't know why mike Riley gave the game to Marriner because of the game last season.. where he again got all the penalty decisions correct
The logic is pisspotical: They shouldn't have given the game to Marriner because he had the temerity to award a penalty in the 96th minute (even though it was it right), and as such he didn't give them a penalty even though none of them were. But no mention that the one glaringly incorrect decision was to miss the handballed block by his own defender. No wonder he's being mentioned for the England job - he's as one-eyed as Big Sam.
Man of the match - Philippe Coutinho (Liverpool) please log in to view this image Phillipe Coutinho has assisted twice or more in a league game on six occasions since making his debut, which is the joint-most of any player in the competition in that time, along with Mesut Ozil and David Silva.
Some teams are still on 9 games You still can't look at the table yet (#graphs don't count) Man Utd could fall even further tomorrow
