Great performance. Shame about Sturridge, again!

Yeah, really impressive to watch. Bayern were ****ing awful though but still, we looked good.

We're still lacking depth and some quality in the squad though.

We're okay with squad depth. We need a quality centre half, but other than that we're good. Robertson, Solanke and Salah has improved it and if you add Ings and Sturridge if they keep themselves fit, then we're a match for anybody. We need luck with injuries, but every team needs it.

It says a lot if Klopp is happy to sit tight for his first choice targets without panicking.

Random observations

Moreno - like a man possessed, flying machine going forward and at this rate if Milner doesn't make the Watford game it's his shirt to lose

Karius - sharp and quick off his line, decent

TAA - couple of naive, silly fouls aside he looked really good

Salah and Mane - ****ing unstoppable. They'll score about 15 each this season

Kent - looks a serious prospect at times with this mega-direct running and quick feet. Loan or keep?

In regards to Kent, we simply have to keep him at the moment, we need Coutinho in the deeper role especially as Kieta is dead in the water and with Ojo seemingly on his way out we have no real backup for Mane or Salah.

Sturridge is fine.

I'm overly optimistic so I'd say Moreno could make a 2 set down triple match point come back based purely on this game. He was brilliant and a lot more disciplined than usual. Maybe he's not been played so they can really work on his defensive game?

I thought Karius was really good today. Read the game very well and his kicking was good too, generally falling to one of our players on the flanks.

TAA is a nailed on starter in a season or two. So athletic and uses the ball well. I wouldn't be stressed if we had to rely on him in a big game.

Salah and Mane were top class, untouchable, supreme. I'd love Kent to get a subs place so we always have two fast as **** players on the pitch at the same time. Maybe in a season or two like TAA.

I take back what I said about Kent, he looks a talent all right!

Good point.

[Daffy Duck]

I'm reall excited to see how we'll look against a quality defensive team tomorrow. It will be a completely different kind of game, and a few key players will probably need to start on the bench.

Flanno-Matip-Lovren-Robbo
----Gini---Can---Lallana----
---Mane--Solanke--Kent---

[Shaggy]

Bit weird how Phil played about 80 mins tonight. Assume he won't be involved at all tomorrow.

[Liverpool]

definitely no like for like, either Origi/Sturridge in, or Lallana/Wijnaldum. Ojo/Kent are too much of a step down.

Haven't really seen much of Wijnaldum further forward, think it was Watford at home when he was in front 3 and looked decent, though we were probably 4 up already.

[Chris]

We are on the verge of something seriously special, hopefully we dont mess it up by not doing quite enough in the transfer market. Our attack is astonishing and they are all amazing ages too, like a golden era! I'd love another attacking wide man as Salah and Mane can't do that 60 times each this season but it doesn't look like it'll happen so Kent has to stay, I knew he was talented but still a pleasant surprise in pre season and it's great to see a young player not panic when he gets to the byline and just smash it aimlessly somewhere. TAA is god. I love Clyne and there will be plenty of games for everyone but I think Trent is one of them who when he gets a chance for a few games that will be that.

We are going to give everyone hell in the CL, no one good can beat us and the likes of Barca and Bayern with their stale energyless football are made for us. Only Real could stop us.

I assume tomorrow will be players who didn't start today so very few mins for Salah, Firmino etc anyway but can we forfeit the game and just go home? They are a pack of ****ing animals and will be flying in, no more injuries is far more important than a game v them yard dogs.

Kent is a weird one. I thought he was a championship player but he's been good this preseason and we're short in the wing back up. Could be used to save players near the end of games just like he has against tired legs this preseason.

[Kenneth]

We were lethal on the counter attack. Still, I worry how we are going to do against the bus parkers still. Hopefully better than last year

Yep, that will be the key. I'm hoping tge additional ball carrying ability and pace of Salah as well as Coutinho playing deep more often should help woth this.

Will be interesting if we have a plan in place, or if it will be more of the same. Most teams will turn up, rightly, with everyone behind the ball. I just don't see where the extra pace and movement will help. Anfield is a narrow pitch, there just isn't much room to work in.
