Ridiculous that he didn't start Thursday. Klopp got that one well and truly wrong IMHO. Moving Milner inside where he's not started most all year at the expense of the in form Allen, who he'd taken off Sunday presumably to save for midweek was a head scratcher.
He rectified it by making the subs and tactical adjustments like, but before then we had next to nothing in midfield.

Just been catching up on Klopp's pressers after Thursday .....
'..... Throw the plan in the purple bin' ...... LMAO. (Our garbage bins here are purple.). He's becoming more and more a part of the City the longer he's here.

No word of a lie, and I've mentioned it before on here I believe, I have Evertonian friends (and our rivalry is fierce. They get called 'bitter' for a reason), who openly say 'We want to hate him. We SHOULD hate him because he's a red nosed *******. But we just CAN'T hate him and not like him because he's so God **** likeable and genuine.'
Fella's character and charisma just transcends.
like i said no matter who he went to he would buy into the clubs history and the fans would love him
It's brilliant isn't it. My best mates a massive blue and even loves Klopp!!
You planning on sitting in the kop for Villareal scouse?

*Standing.
Where else my friend? (And no, I don't know when they're releasing the details as yet haha.).
Don't even get me started mate. I was in lower centenery, about level with the edge of the penalty box (kop end).
Last 10 minutes when we just needed the last goal people started sitting down and I was like nah **** that. Was the first row to start the stand up behind me. Didn't give a **** me as if I was going to sit down for that part of the game!!
Definitely making sure I get online when the sale starts to get a ticket in the kop. Had some right wools next to me as well.

Really nice read this. And from an Evertonian to boot:
Anfield effect can be overstated but there’s no denying it is also spectacular | Paul Wilson | Football | The Guardian
I posted on these here pages after I got back from Dortmund about how it blew me away the amount of BvB fans who hadn't been over in 2001 the Champs League or the friendly a few years ago who just couldn't wait to experience the 'unique atmosphere of Anfield Road' as they call it. And again on Thursday, they were literally in awe outside taking photos and sampling it all in, in anticipation of getting inside. They'd come for the experience as much as to support their team. (Which they did magnificently. Watching their rhythmic bouncing and swaying as one from the other end was mesmerising. The constant flag waving just added to that.). And this from fans who are part of 80,000 plus at the Westfalenstadion with that whopping South terrace, the 'Yellow Wall', which has helped elevate their club into one of the most envied currently in Europe. But that is the reputation Liverpool FC and Anfield on a European night STILL carries around the Continent. We know, like most every Premier League ground since the introduction of seating, the price hike, and the new generation of 'middle class' fan that can afford that seats attracted, often the old place can be like a morgue for a run of the mill league game. But when we DO get it right ..... Man alive, there really is NO other place like it. ANYWHERE. And Thursday my word did we get it right. I LOVE that line from Tuchel about the 'stadium just seeming to know what was going to happen.' It really does sound trite but the bond and belief between the club and support, not least on nights like these is unique and one money just can't buy.
I called round a good friends house last night to drop off my Derby ticket. (That one is KILLING me but finances are bitting hard and the European aways catching up with Villarreal so close to Dortmund and then the <hopefully> final in Basle. Something had to give.). And his son, who is 14, was still buzzing from Thursday. The single best game he's ever experienced and one he'll NEVER forget and be talking to his kids about in years to come. It's games and nights like that, that go down in folklore not just here but across the Continent and continue to keep LFC as a special football club in peoples minds. And when I think on it, it's probably the greatest game I've ever experienced at the old Stadium. The atmosphere didn't seem up there with he Chelsea semi in '05. But then everyone you read and speak to who watched said it sounded electric. From the awesome scenes of the players coach being greeted, to the spine-tingling YNWA then the ups and downs of an epic football match. Maybe you're just too invested on the game and nervous and then in disbelief at how it all turned out to really appreciate it. But to come back like that, after going 2-0 and then 3-1 behind and needing to score 3 times in a half hour or so against one of the best sides currently in Europe ..... Yeah, that has to rank as one of the the greatest nights of all that we'll be talking about for years and years and years.
And in the transient World we live in, I wonder just how many new fans we picked up who watched that? Or how many players looked at it and thought 'man, I want to be a part of THAT!?' That special, special game against BvB really could be the catalyst on so many levels to shooting the club back to real prominence.
I've personally been so, SO fortunate to of been born where I was, to of been brought up on the right side of this great City; and to of gotten to experience SO many fantastic nights, particularly on the European stage, that money just can not buy with memories that live with you forever.
Thursday, not just in the life of a 14 year old and his generation, may just of been the greatest Anfield night of the lot.

Is rite la. How ANYONE would want to sit down through that is beyond me. (And even less the Kemmy where the leg room is so tight your knees are up around your ears haha.).
LOVE the attitude. LOVE the passion. But then Scousers know.

Hmmm. MUCH changed side. Expected most of that bar Ward, Randle (who's looked completely out of his depth to me every game he's played) and the bang out of form/ confidence Ibe. Can't understand why there's no Fanno. Presume we're taking the opportunity to have a good look at Ward in competitive action to see if he has what it takes to be a solid back-up which I get.
Great to see Smith back finally and another start for the very impressive Stewart and Ojo.
Good test for Smith in particular to see how he handles Ritchie who's looked real tidy every time I've seen Bournemouth this season.
Good luck boys. Mighty Reds.

To say the least. Ward given a chance, Bogdan is surely finished. Randall chosen ahead of Flanno, didn't see that one coming. Skrtel not even in the squad, definitely moved on in the summer. Attack looks strong though, remains to see if that inexperienced defense (Ward, Randall, Smith) will pass the test.
Great half, apart from a few frantic moments in defense. Ibe has done well, and goal + assist for Sturridge is great for his confidence. Stewart has made a few mistakes, but hopefully we can get the third as Bournemouth will have to push higher up. Place your bets, mine's on Ojo!
