Feels like we deserved all the points, but Arsenal were very effective and we don't have a goalkeeper. Great effort by the lads.

Completely disagree about Can btw, I think he was outstanding the first half. Looked very tired the more the match progressed, which caused a few errors. Could probably have been subbed earlier, but so could (should) Lallana.

I wonder what odds you'd get for betting for Allen as goalscorer, when did that happen last??

allen last scored in april 2015. Can was dreadful IMO, so was Ibe.
 
Can't believe we actually gave up the lead when we should of took all 3 points but a fantastic game nonetheless.
 
Does this mean people can finally get off Firmino's case? Not saying he's going to start doing that week in, week out from now on, I'm sure he will frustrate at times, but he's obviously got supreme talent, and once he's fully settled we will have a genuine match winner on our hands. Also notable that his best performances have been in the biggest games - City, Chelsea, Arsenal
 
Interestingly, stats when Firmino has started up-front or false 9 (whatever you wish):

Games: 4
Goals: 3
Assists: 3

On the flip side amongst your natural disappointment if we could even fundamentally defend you would of lost so be happy with that outcome from an absolutely awesome game of football.

Fantastically fun night. Great effort in adversity and a well deserved point that could well of been 3. Taken him long enough but when Firmino turns up boy does he turn up! Thought Milner had his best game thus far down the left. Ibe needs to sort out his end product. Your a regular now kid. No 'still developing' excuses. Need more from yer. The downside was Sakho and Toure all over the place at the back and Mingolet's positioning as bad as ever. And it became disjointed the final third when Benteke came on and stood like a ****ing mong the edge of the box as per. All the more bizarre as it was ****ing freezing in the sleet and snow.


And Klopp's celebrations ..... How can anyone NOT love that fella'? Utterly brilliant.


Really proud of the players and all credit to Arsenal for contributing to a brilliant game of football.

What does that say for benteke. We clearly look a better team without him. Also looking like klopp doesnt even fancy him in such games aswell.

Both sides were plagued with injuries so either your phychic or jumping to conclusions way too quick ;)

Result aside, it has been a fantastic week of football and with Tottenham losing and Manchester City drawing at home it feels like a decent week for us and keeps you guys in contention for top 4!

I'll take your injury 'woes' and raise you a centre half partnership of Kolo at 505 or however old he is now and Sakho forced to play nowhere near match fit because we had nottin' else outside of a loanee that's been here 24 hours. And who also isn't match fit. And that's just to start ..... but let's not nark over injury's. Awesomely great game. Well played.

Yup, Tottenham losing is another MASSIVE result. With their GD, 6 points was in reality 7. Now it's back to a straight 2 games behind and we have them to come to ours.

Very good night.

LOL that final howler. In 1:40. Oh the horrible memories. And yeah, he's done a lot of **** like this. Two years ago the other goalkeeper scored against him in the Saints, from a goal kick.

But then every once in a while he goes and does something like with West ham 2 days ago.

I mean if you're a relegation candidate, and your goalkeeper can do THAT on a regular basis, you want that guy around. But for the top side, naw. You really want a guy who's reliable above anything else. And Mignolet isn't.

Yep. Benteke is one-dimensional and very effective in a certain system.

Unfortunately our players do not suit that

You're talking as if we all didn't already know this before Benteke was even signed. He's a great player, and not just because of his size, but he's not half bad technically and has surprisingly quick feet for a big guy. In a top team using the right system, I wouldn't be shocked if he could consistently bang 25-30 a year.

Unfortunately that's not the system you had under Rodgers, and the way Klopp intends to play fits Benteke even less. Which brings the question, who the **** authorised the transfer that obviously made no sense?
 
Regardless of system, when Benteke sulks and doesn't move his lazy ****, which is happening most every time he's out there now; he's neither use nor ornament to anyone.

Its quite widely reported that the committee wanted Firmino and Rodgers wanted Benteke and a truce was made to sign both... The whole transfer system was a mess

It was like in his head Rodgers wanted a change of style/system yet the signings made didn't show that for a number of reason. Shambles all round

There's not a single Manager/ Coach in World football I can think of who fits this City and this club/ fanbase better.

One of us right out of the Shankly mould and I wouldn't swap him for anyone.

Genuine passion. I get so emotional being a Liverpool fan. The rest of the world doesn't understand.
