Think we've done alright and held our own. A bit of creativity off the bench would help, Lamela?

I think Onomah's languid style is going to frustrate fans.

That shitehawk Lawro is at it again. Saying that it's a real test for Liverpool up against a top team, I someone like him would gloss over the fact it's our kids out there too tonight.

Unfortunately, I'm not able to watch the game, can someone fill me in on how we are playing?

Not sending someone off after 20 minutes for such a clear sending off offence is not 'slightly wrong' and it has a significant impact on the game. Like how we should have been playing against 10 for the last half hour on Saturday.

Then we move on from it. It was borderline red but think yellow was the right call and you can tell by the fact there wasnt more uprowr from our side. Same with the push on janssen, janssen didnt apeal or anything so you can argue he got the decisions right.

Like i say referees arent perfect they will get things wrong and he has got a couple of things wrong today but the performance certainky doesnt deserve the vitriol its getting.

Im more focussed on our performance and would love us to stop being pedestrian and attack with a bit more purpose,

Janssen has been our best player! The bloke could hold up a bank, but hes got 0 goal threat in the three behind him. Hes been great tonight
His hold up play has been decent at best. Got bullied off the ball a few times and his control hasnt been great. Plus, he's not getting into positions to score.

Onomah been ok, GKN on the other hand, nah.

Onomah offers nothing, I don't get 'it'. Throughout his appearances so far, he just looks like a player who isn't necessarily bad, but doesn't seem to excel at much.

This is the worse GKN has looked in his cameos/minutes so far, but there is a huge difference is the space each player is getting on their side of the pitch. Janssen is running the channels on a side where GKN needs space to run into, and other players are drifting into and using that space too. Clear some reason, and GKN will do work.

Christ...reading a match thread when we're a goal down at the half is a total mindf*** when you can't watch the game yourself. I have no idea who's playing well and who's been crap (aside from everyone).

Carroll has been anonymous, didn't hear his name mentioned until around the 25 mins mark. Sub him for Lamela and stick Onomah in the middle

Fucks sake turn it over if it offends you. Jesus christ. Some of you moan like fuck week in week out about the pundits.....it don't matter who they are. You're literally as bad as they are for trotting out bollocks.

EDIT: Let he who has never spoken bollocks cast the first pube.........

Generally our play as an attacking unit is actually pretty poor. Son's individual form has masked this somewhat, but I'm afraid without Kane we are toothless.

The bits I've seen of us tonight reminds me of us under avb. Clueless attacking unless we get a penalty or someone scores a wonder goal

2 Liverpool fans in the studio, nice and impartial as always

Starts half time analysis buy saying anfield has best atmosphere in the country, surprised he didn't say universe

Liverpool are "the pick" this year mate, Sky will do everything they can to make sure they win something of note, I mean, having Klopp on Monday night football early in the season, has that ever even happened before or since with an active PL manager?
