This is a completely silly debate. Players should thank the fans for support regardless of result. Especially if they stayed until 98 minute and kept believing, instead of leaving at 75 minute, like it used to be just a few weeks ago.

Agreed but not in a manner which seems to suggest they just reached the CL finals or something. And especially not after dropping points at home to a mid-table side. A simple walk around to clap the fans would have been okay. This was more of a grandstanding gesture

I still maintain that if Rodgers had done it, the Kop would dissolve into chaos. But because it's Klopp, it's a brilliant move.

Anyone know much about this Marko Grujic that Liverpool are apparently going to sign?

He's 19, 6 foot 3 and has 5 goals and 6 assists in 22 games apparently. Anyone watched him?

So Watford up next for Liverpool, hard game as Watford are doing well!

I expect a close game 1-0 either way but I think Liverpool will probably do it

Well we won't be facing the complete anti-football that Pulis and his dark ages, draconian tactics present so that should make for a far more open game. Watford playing two up and being a very good counter attacking side should play into our hands and I can see another Chelsea/ City-esq result. Henderson made a massive difference last week attack wise and it was pleasing to see us craft such a good goal for him in a game we overall deserved to win.

But we ultimately didn't, and it's imperative we start doing that in December. Starting Sunday. January's going to be a **** of a month fixture wise, with big league games on the horizon in Arsenal and Utd (need to be within touching distance of them when we play to either go above them or at least near as **** it level I feel); so we really need double figure points out of the next 4 games starting Sunday.

I wouldn't expect you to understand the gesture being a Chelsea fan mate.

Pulis agrees with you.

Love this, also its not really anti-football or any such nonsense. There was a shift in tactical thinking in early 2000'a that counter attack and defensive shape was king and that the art of passing the ball was going to die out and that players should be athletes more than technicians.

England and Brazil both bet heavily on this with youth football hence why you see so many all rounders in the CM rather than ball players for England and why Brazil are really ****** if Lucas Lima does not be the DLP they really really need.

edit, oh and it was also thought at that time the team that concedes the most free kicks actually had the better chance of winning the game, as you broke up the opposition attacks and had time to reset yourselves defensively.

So to say it is dark ages or whatever is a myth and is some media concocted bullshit.

If you do it against better team and succeed, its great tactics. If a lesser team does it to you and succeeds, its anti-football.

As soon as I saw that Chelsea had more fans than Barcelona, I already dismissed the reliability of this graph. The only believable one is United at the top although I doubt they have 660 million 'active' fans

Interestingly, how do you even determine an 'active' fan of a club? What are the metrics that we should use?

Fake Percentage of kits/Real Percentage of kits * club crest tattoos - amount of players posters in room + the amount of times you have seen them on tv = >1 you are a real fan ;)
 
There is a reason Liverpool have struggled with the so called lesser sides yet have done fantastically against the likes of City, Chelsea and Southampton.

You play to win football games and doing what West Brom did at Anfield is the best way to get some points from Anfield so why wouldn't they.

At this point, I wouldn't be too delighted about the way you lot performed against Chelsea. Even my Sunday League side could have given them a game with the way they have played this season
