    Back to winning ways. Another clean sheet.It was badly needed.

    Disjointed performance from a disjointed set of players. What else were we expecting.

    Klopp is playing a very risky game with his team selection. I really don’t understand the need to bring in Lovren and move Gomez out wide. By doing that, we’re accomdating a lesser centre back who is more prone to errors, we’re losing Gomez’s ability to play out from the back, and we’re then losing Trent’s attacking ability down the right.

    Henderson is Henderson, and Milner is Milner. And we were missing 2 of our best front 3 forwards. Milner has only just come back from injury so why risk him? He’s been poor for the past 4-5 games now and he needs resting.

    Lallana has never been in the front 3 but I’ll reserve criticism since it’s his first game back for us. But bear in mind that yesterday was just a normal performance for him. If we’re going to play him, then use him in midfield where there’s less need for him to have end product.

    Positives - 3 points, clean sheet, Gomez, Shaqiri, Hendo injured, Fabinho cameo.

    Injuries permitting, don’t expect performances to improve until we start using our best players in their best positions. We looked so much better in our first two matches this season where we played quick, fluid football. What has changed since ...

    Yeah I really didn't get Lallana out wide and Shaqiri in midfield. Just didn't and will never work. Sturridge actually started well but his laziness started to show quickly and we never had hold of the game.

    And Lovren really is a piece of **** isn’t he. One of the worst defenders to ever play for this club. We’re making more errors since he’s come back into the team as well.

    Not sure I could ever count an injured player as being a positive.

    It’s a positive when we play better without him.

    Luckily for Henderson Klopp doesn't agree with you.

    I do think we play better without Lovren though.

    Always worries me when he is on the team sheet.

    Maybe that's why we didn't rest Virgil :bandit:

    The worry is that as the only back up is Moreno he has to play every game and FB these days ,particularly in our case, is very physically demanding & sooner or later that has to start reducing his performances.

    Exactly. He hadn't the energy to do any more.

    It still amazes me that I predict his exact issue and why klopp wouldn't play him in preseason and now a quarter of the season later people still don't get it.

    VVD is carrying an injury and we need to keep the other CBs fit if his rib problem worsens.

    The play was disjointed as it is very clear we do not have ball carrier's in midfield. Really need Keita to pick up form as we need a different type player in that middle 3. Great Lallana got some minutes and can build up fitness.
