Well Arsenal were quite far from full strength at the back yesterday and Liverpool are also playing Moreno...

Good game fair result!
Should've take all three points once we got the third goal. Think the substitutes let us down and im not going to be fickle and say Klopp shouldnt have made them, because you can understand the reasoning for them. Origi was brought on to hold up the ball and he struggled to do so against a injured kaboul. Whilst Gomez was brought on to deal with the aerial threats but struggled to get to grips with the pace of the game. Still we had more than enough chances in the second half to wrap up the points.

Well that was a strange day. 6 goals but far from a good game of football. Do enough in the second half to more than win. But don't really deserve to win as outside of one player you were pretty awful for the majority of the game.
Mané would be the only player on it today. Yeah, great to see Salah off the mark with a goal and assist. But he was pretty rank bad in most everything else he did. Poor decisions. Terrible finishing. Went into a nark after the calamitous Watford opener until the equaliser. Mignolet back to being bad Mignolet. Matip continuing his poor form the second half of last year. I'll excuse Trent as learning. And just WHY we have to suffer through Alby Moreno on a football pitch is the question of this or any other day. WTF is THAT all about? The fella' is, was and continues to be absolutely brain-dead and just doesn't learn. Yet again he dives in with that frigging stupid Kung-Fu tattle' B/S, misses his man, and leaves the right flank open for their second. Milner. Robertson. And you bring that absolute divvy back to start the season. WTF Jürgen?!!!!! Completely out muscled in midfield where Henderson, not surprisingly after missing most of last year, looked WELL off the pace. With everyone, bar Sadio, leaving their shooting boots at home up front.
First half was a complete non-event save for the brilliant football and finish from Mané. Watford took that by a Country mile. Without really doing much. Made more bizarre by L'pool having more and better chances. Nice to see we've sorted out the problems of defending from a corner ...... Second half, Watford ran out of legs early and sat. Game turns from 1-2 to 3-2, without ever looking like it would, but that did set off an absolutely mad 5 minute or so celebration so there was that. (Coutinho not mentioned all game BTW. Which was probably for the better.). Then the perennial failure at not being able to kill a game off. Just how many chances do you need to take the fourth? Gini's abject attempt the worst of the bunch. But then you shouldn't have to score 4 away from home to win a game of football against ***** like Watford! And just to round off the day, more calamitous defending, from, you guessed it, another f-ing corner and a 93rd minute equaliser feeling like a defeat. The mad thing, as individually poor as they were, Watford barely troubled us defensively from open play. But what's it matter when you've not been able to defend a corner since Benitez left what, 7 years ago? Might be even longer. The more it happens, the more the years merge.
At least Chelsea dropped. And there is Germany to look forward to Monday.
Other than that, ***** Reds.

Say's it all.
As rank bad as a lot of the finishing was today in failing to kill the game off, you shouldn't have to score four frigging goals to guarantee an away win. And certainly not at somewhere like Watford!

This. And it's not just you. Chelsea and Arsenal also with rank defending. Even getting vvd won't change that quickly either.
Carragher pointed out it's more systematic than individuals, starting to wonder if he's right tbh. Could something Klopp himself has to look at and tweak, regardless of what new face he brings in at centre half. Also, zonal marking from set pieces just doesn't work well with Liverpool
