    All even at halftime. Usually Klopp gives the team a magic half-time hug and we run out a better hugged and better performing team in the second half.

    I don't know if our second XI respond to hugs as well as the first XI, but you might face a tougher, better hugged team in the last 45.

    Phew! Got away with that somehow
    Diallo off and Romeu on please. That would make a massive difference to us

    I thought it was magic inhalers?

    Klopp dusts himself in cocaine before hugging them.

    I said Diallo isn't half the player Romeu is. I was wrong. He isn't a quarter of the player even.

    Minamino. Not good enough for Saints, but bloody good for Liverpool.

    Someone explain that to me.

    He's had some very good games. Can only assume it might be something to do with the theory I saw earlier about him wanting out due to lack of games so Ralph giving him a couple to either try to change his mind or prove that it wouldn't be too big a deal?

    Different system and better players supporting him. And playing constantly against teams who are nervy. There are several examples of players excelling when large amounts of pressure gets removed from them

    Just far too lackadaisical, not strong enough, doesn't read the game, passing is erratic.

    Does the odd little nice run, and plays some nice forward passes (not in this game), but he has a long way to go to become Premier League quality.

    Just grateful that Klopp rested his first choice players. Maybe he should have gambled and fielded a stronger starting 11, built up a big first half lead (and they would have against the **** we have played) and then just played out as if a training exercise.
    If they don’t get the 3 points it will be because they threw the chance away, because defensively we are just broken.

    He had his moments. A bit inconsistent but was great at times. Tended to spend more time with the doctors than the coaches though.

    Seems like no changes for Saints which is perplexing

    It was the Nivea adverts that did him in. Went to his head.

    Ralph does realise he is allowed to use the subs doesn’t he?
