And also Klopp massively. Time and time again people want to discredit his tactical brilliance and label him as a good motivator (no better than Rodgers, a German Kevin Keegan (), found out without Buvac etc). And those examples were just from this year.

Yeah I hate that. Like he's just some cheerleader or something ffs.

This brilliant article (that I also posted in the Huddersfield match thread) includes a nice tactical breakdown of Keita's goal, and is a good analysis of how much the game has moved on, with Klopp at the absolute forefront.

Aye, read that earlier, was a very good read.

“Liverpool have yet to concede a single goal on the counterattack in the Premier League all season.” Wow! Unbelievable stat given how high our full backs tend to be.

Our midfield sits pretty deep though and the full backs protect anything from coming down the wings so that area is covered.

Klopp is God, he's addressed every defensive frailty to the point where our opponents must wonder where a goal will come from, they must just rely on luck

What Klopp has achieved where Rafa never seemed to manage to is striking the balance which he's done by making us effective at set pieces. We literally have a full arsenal

I wonder what constitutes as a counter.

I'd say Townsend's goal against us was a counter. Team pressed forward trying to win the ball from McArthur, who spun free and started the attack. We still had defenders back, but most of the team was caught upfield.

Just noticed how much Dejan looks like Billy Russo from the Punisher

Looks like they are great lads

Cracking lads. Living their best lives aren't they!

In terms of our future transfer plans no way are we selling Salahs best mate!

I think he will leave due to his standing in the squad - he is effectively 4th choice now and he will want go play more. Same for Migs and Lallana - they may push for the moves themselves

I think Degsie has a future here, we have 4 capable centre backs and 3 of them will rotate nicely. Anyone who'd want to give up playing for the best side in the world partnering the best centre back in the world isn't right in the head anyway. Even 15 games a season should be a dream job for him

I’d agree with Mig and actually now with Lallana, who with the Ox fit and Naby performing is miles from the first team.

I think Dejan will get enough opportunities to feature though so we will see him next season. He hasn’t played much this mainly due to injuries, so he hasn’t until now had to contemplate not playing due to form. If he is fit for most of next season and not playing because of Gomez and Matip then I think he might consider his options next summer. Based on the likelihood of injuries in his position I think he will stay.

I think we don't need another CB this summer, we have four very good options plus Fabinho in a pinch. We can focus on other areas, like cover for the full backs and a quality forward.

We should never be pinching fabinho from DM to fill in at CB because we are short handed.

Your English is better than mine, so it feels really bad correcting you. It's at a pinch, not in a pinch

No problem, we'll pinch him from midfield at a pinch.
