Salah would be fine at #9, imo. Switch him central, Ox on the right, Mane on the left.
 
Salah has every quality to bag ridiculous goals (mad thing to say like he's not put up ridiculous numbers already) as a 9 no question.

But you've still weakened the squad regardless which is just mad. And somewhat negligent of the manager if nobody else arrives before 11 PM GMT tomorrow.

You move him inside, and Alex goes wide in that scenario, there's zero creative the midfield as Alex has moved out of it and Lallana is struggling massively to get his fitness back.
 
MUST win game. And Sunday. We CAN'T afford to get into a dogfight with Tottenham. Really can't understate the importance of tonight. Get yer collective heads out yer backsides Reds and get back to working hard. Match these for effort and we'll be back on track breathing down Utd's neck. Tip up like the last two thinking yers only have to turn up to win, forgetting the hard graft that dogged out a string of wins against sides like this, and the gloom will continue.

Fearing a naughty one tonight. Not only long memory's from the last time there 18 years back the Cup tie and what went down that day. But Utd getting a load of **** there and legged all over earlier this year from a gang of lads with a lower league mentality still living the dark ages.

Oh what joy.
 
Good 3 points but watching Matip stroll around like its a lazy sunday afternoon, then turn into a rolls royce when he's on the ball does my head in. Impressed with Karius on the ball he just releases the ball so quickly no dilly dallying like the other clown allowing the opp to get back into position.
 
Well that sent the delusional, batshit crazy, reactionary fractions of the fan base back under the social media rocks they've crawled out of the last week after being in 'hibernation' for over 3 months. Yes, Swansea was garbage. (Interesting to see them do Arsenal last night and continue the new manager bounce impact. Swansea a serious proposition the minute and not easy the easy fodder their league position suggests ..... Who knew?). Yes, West Brom was absolutely appaling from 1 to 11. Which hurt more as it put us out of the Cup with all that means to Liverpudlians. And yes, you've been left cursing the frustrating lack of transfer activity whilst other clubs add for the second half slog. All the while with L'pool seemingly weakening themselves from a position of serious strength the start of January.

But this had been a team coming off 18 undefeated. 14 the league. Not only playing some sparkling football that reaffirmed the general consensus of them being the second best footballing side the PL, but who'd shown a multitude of different facets to their game to combat and dog out a string of wins against sides they, as the narrative goes, can't beat/ struggle against. And for people to suddenly jump off cliffs head first with absolute, nonsensical bunkum, to be kind, like 'There's NO way this side is finishing top 4/ Klopp doesn't have a clue and needs binning/ Nobody at this club has any ambition to win anything/ We've the worst group of players and coaching staff the top 6' et all has been beyond belief to read. There's legit criticism. And there's being a legit narking gobshite just for the sake of it. Sadly, we have FAR too many of the latter among our number.

Anyway, now that's off my chest, last night .....

Brilliant bounce back. Albeit against a pretty darn woeful Huddersfield outfit. (The less side about their lower league 'support' and the lame, embarrassing **** they chant the better. But at least it was aggro free and when you're home off the train in an hour and half you can't complain.).

Real mature, professional display that was fully dominant without being crazy mad. We managed it superbly. From the subtle change of boxing off the midfield and standing up to Huddersfield's physicality with two wily arl heads Henderson. (Again, for all his critics, our game is SO much faster all round when he's dictating it. Always probing and trying to get us going. It's that simple and is often so madly overlooked when people ask 'Just what does Henderson bring to the table?'.). And he was noticeably more forward-thinking last night with it which was pleasing to see. Arguable shout for MOTM along with Can and the sublime Firmino.). And Milner who was tenacious all over with his non-stop harrying and pressing. Emre Can dominating in a further forward position he always flourishes more in when he can attack the opposition head-on. As frustrating as he is with his inconsistency that has you tearing your hear out, he should NEVER be sat deep as a 6. It just completely undermines his whole game. Particularly against sides that sit deep and leave him with little to engage himself with. Massive critic of him personally so fair play for a great game last night. Dejan Lovren stepping in and once again completely over-shadowing the continuingly shaky Matip. Surely he has put the marker down to be van Dijk's partner going forward? (Talking of, big Virge was 'rested?' SERIOUSLY? He's barely frigging played this year. Rested FFS! Man alive. Professional footballer. Nice 'work' if you can get it.). Through another goal from the ridiculous Salah and Bobby Firmino again showing why there's not a more complete forward IMHO the PL. He's just a dream of a footballer in every respect. 19 on the season now. (11 assists.). With 11 in the league. Matching Lukaku to name but one. Yet he STILL continues to go under the radar. As brilliant for us as it is mad on a National level. All done with brilliant fluidity that had Huddersfield completely confused as to where and what we were playing. All whilst managing the game superbly in a real mature manner that lost none of the dominance of our usual 'rock and roll' style.

Real good showing that, that shouldn't be downplayed just because it was 'Huddersfield.' More composed games like that in the way we both tactically set-up and approach a lot of these 'lesser' sides the run-in will be really welcome. Now to flip that and hit 'Spurs hard and early from the get-go with our usual MO Sunday and get the arl place rocking!

Talking of, good luck Tottenham tonight. (And Bournemouth.). Hope they batter Utd to keep us to within a game of second. But it's nice to be in a watching situation where we can just sit back with most any result being a positive one for us.

Up the 'Crisis? WHAT Crisis' Reds!
 
Welcome to Yorkshire ..... People like this need putting down. Seriously.

Superb night. Up to third. A game out of second. 6 and 5 goal swings on Chelsea and Utd respectively in two days.

Set's up the game Sunday with Tottenham at r's superbly.
 
You lot not get rid of Flanagan? just seen him go out on loan to Bolton?
 
Think it's a bit harsh everyone of BT panel predicting Liverpool to be the unlucky ones to finish outside the top 4. Definitely look a much healthier outfit than Chelsea, at the very least.
