Played 5. Won 5 11 of our goals scored to 2 of theirs.

And nowhere near hitting top form with still a LOT of improvement to come. Like a £43 million top drawer Brazilian who’s yet to see a second of play.

Over to City. Theae lads are going NOWHERE!

Up the perfect Reds!
 
Liverpool should have scored a few more and in the end fortunate Oliver missed the stone cold penalty at the end of the match.

Mane on Son at the end? Quite possibly. But them Karma’s a ***** after their 2 joke penos at Anfield last year so no bleeding heart for Tottenham here. ;)

Surprissd how easy that was from the tough return after the break yuu were expecting. Still nowhere near our best but utterly bossed that game with a very flattering final scoreline on Tottenham.

If your talking about the chance were he slipped in Keita instead of Salah. Ill give him the benefit of the doubt that he wants to see his friend get his first lfc goal.

Talking about a few occasions in which Salah or Mane has had better options on (a lot of the time being the other one) and either going for the wrong option (which sees the other one not get the ball in favour of a team-mate) or going themselves. I remember Mane did it last season too, one that was completely inexcusable in which he should've squared Salah, but it didn't happen often, don't think I saw it again. This season I've seen it a few times already, commentators noted it once or twice as well.

A lot of the time you just put it down to "ah, forwards are greedy, it's the nature of the game" but it's just those guys have been known and praised for their unselfishness. Could be a few egos and "I want to do better than you this season" at play, Klopp might well want to have a little word and reiterate it's a team game. He looked frustrated about it on the sideline too, especially at the end when Salah should've squared Sturridge. In the position you're in now, decent crack at a title fight, everyone needs to be playing for the other man. If that involves you increasing the chances of scoring by 10/20/50% by squaring it to your partner, then that's what you do, that's what Liverpool have always done in Klopp's time.
 
Meh, I don’t think theres any ego issues there. Those three are a closeknit group to themselves within the group. No concerns on that score.

Mo was greedy today as he has been already this season but I put that soley down to him being a goalscorer (who may as well be a striker) and doing what centre forwards do. Hes just off form and trying to get himself going I’d guess.

Even though they’ve all scored and contributed every game, all three have been off it this year. Which just brings home again what another big leap in progression the team has made to not have to worry when the front three aren’t fully in synch and firing to win games.

Whilst safe in the knowledge that we have well arguably the best fromt three in Europe so when they do all click, on top of the solid base behind them, God help everyone else!

One weakness and a weakness of Klopp in general is his bizarre substitutions. Why change the back four every time we concede a goal towards the end. All it does is invite pressure.

To be fair the back 4 was changed before Lamela scored today.

Though I agree, Klopp is not the best with substitutions. I remember the City game last season at Anfield. We were 4-1 up and he brought on Milner to shield the back 4 and we conceded 2 goals, down to mistakes as nobody knew who was picking whom.

On todays game; should have been out of sight. Simple as that. My only worry post the result is Firmino. Having suffered an eye injury myself; it did not look good. Hopefullty it not serious...
 
Great to wake up still buzzing from yesterday and the latest statement game from this serious gang of Reds.

Tottenham are ‘supposed’ to be one of rivals! Comprehensivly bossed and outclassed in every single facet of the game. On their own patch. From a Reds team still nowhere near their imperious best. But a special L’pool team 100% better than a ‘Spurs team brushed aside with consumate ease.

Perfect start to the welcome return of our European playground this week.

As if City needed reminding, this sesson .....

It’s ON!

You talking about what he said regarding Solanke? If so I kindve agree.

Yup. Ill informed, poorly researched mouthpiece with a microphone.

The twaddle on Dom was bad enough but to then throw Sancho up as ‘tearing it up the Bundesliga’ ...... Tearing it up ..... from his position as a bench player. As he develops. Uncanilly like Solanke. But with way less minutes.

Seems the in-vogue thing to use Solanke to highlight the lack of young English talent. The best was Boothroyd narking (whilst saying nottin on most every other player his squad the same position), and then not ****** starting him himself the next game!
 
Oh dear the Ev.


Howling at Pickford after he skitted Alisson the other week:


I wudnt mess ‘bout I just clear it!’ #midgetarms


Maybe chippy **** can get the bizzies to investigate again?
 
Now the season can REALLY start! Our tournaments back!

View attachment 35933

And how is it back! With well arguably the biggest game of the entire group stage to open proceedings. One of UEFA’s marquee clubs against the nouveau riche Parisians who can only dream of seeing the sights and attaining the success we have.

So many sub-plots. Pupil taking on Master again after the absolutely epic contest in the Europa between the pairs clubs 3 years ago. The widely acknowleged two best front threes in World football. Both clubs coming in with perfect 5-out-of-5 starts to the season. World class players littered across the pitch on both sides .....

All played out in the unique, European cauldren that is Anfield. PSG might arrive stacked with with WC talent, but Tuchel aside, they’ll never have experienced anything like they will this evening. As their manager knows to his cost with his Dortmind side completey cavimg under the intense power of Anfield in all her glory under the European lights in that aforementioned epic comeback 3 years ago.

When we’re fully on it, theres no place like it in World football. And with Neymar and co in town, we’ll be totally ‘on it!’ The arl place will be rocking in what is fixng to be another of the great Anfield European nights.

THIS is what you live for. Moments and memorys that last a lifetime. On the biggest stage of all where we excell more than most. Europe.

The road to Madrid and (hopefully) #6 starts here.

Can.

Not.

Wait!
 
What a game! Another scoreline that didnt reflect the game.

I thought everyone was fantastic, bar Salah, tonight. Hendo and Milner were fantastic all game. Watching them smashing into Neymar is just so satisfying. Sturridge as well with a fantastic performance. I have never seen him work so hard in a game before. Should have got another goal, but some of his passes were outstanding.

2 wins in 2 during our "difficult" run. Bring on the next game!
 
Congrats, cracking game and even better 3 points.

What's Salah up though? Conceded possession numerous times which led to a goal (which is fine, players are allowed bad nights) to then look angry/****** off, throwing objects around him when Firmino scores the winner? Guy's a bit of a diva in disguise.
