The old Spider Tackle

Gotta love that desire for the ball.

[Lecter]

He doesn't shirk a tackle and loves to leave his foot in. We need a bit of dirt in the team. Just keep him off set pieces. He will get better as the team do. Very good team player.

Just out of interest who would you have taking set pieces

The whole lot of them seem to struggle with the fundamental of clearing the first man

[Maxiedge]

Could've got sent off there. Could have no complaints really. Down to 10 men in first 20 mins

I've seen people compare Ings to Kuyt due to his high-energy style but I think he (Ings) has got too much finesse for that. Milner is a better fit for the Kuyt comparison: does a lot of running; frequently mis-controls the ball/gives it away; attempts to (usually unsuccessfully) bundle past opponents;clumsy tackler.

Brilliant cross for the goal though.

...on Kuyt's current form, I'd love Milner to be more like him!

I think that yellow May have been intentional. He should've done it higher up the pitch, but by the half way line really should be far enough out to not cause us a problem.

That being said, you'd normally advise that it would be best doing it in injury time by pulling back a player high up the pitch.

Milner always new he would be a scouser one day!

Milner is a curio isn't he?

You'd have thought he was built for Klopps game, instead it appears as if its all too much for him, bar his curved balls into the area its hard to see what he brings to the side.

[Chazza]

Thought he would be good.

He's been average at best.

[rodo]

Thought he would be good.

He's been average at best.

think he will be out when henderson is back

[Assassin]

Thought he would be good.

He's been average at best.

Once Henderson is fit, I think he will be enjoying watching games from the bench

[BigChief]

Hope so, hasn't shown any league winning experience or quality so far. Doesn't look likely he will either.

He runs around a lot but he's a poor footballer. Not good enough for Klopps game.

I think he's always been on the average side of things but I was hopeful his industry would compliment the skills of the more gifted players.

It hasn't happened to the extent I was anticipating not least because he hasn't even hit average yet.
