Job's a good'un, pig. Job's a good'un.

[Mathewbet1]

Thats a whore bore, thats a whore

[Jairzinho]

Leicester down to ten men.

Harsh second yellow. Surely you're allowed to throw a jab at Costa?

[magicrat]

shoot out in about 1 minute

edit

 

They play 30 mins ET first

[Arl arse]

Extra time at Leicester

[Em City]

Firmino's teeth, fucking hell. They could guide a ship at night.

[Anubis]

Harsh second yellow. Surely you're allowed to throw a jab at Costa?

I'm quite comfortable with people being allowed to kick the shit out of him.

[Jhinge Machha]

After 7 games (all comp)- 10 different players have scored together 18 goals

 

 

not bad.

[Mathewbet1]

Thats how cow, thats how

[Joe Strummer]

After we scored the third it became quite sloppy with Can, Grujic and Klavan particularly guilty. Karius had nothing to do but his intervention in the first half was class and something you never see from Mignolet.

[suzy]

Haven't been that relaxed watching us for a long time - like the old days!

[El Rojo]

That'll help me sleep, sheep. That'll help me sleep.

[magicrat]

Good performance that

 

Banana skin avoided,  clean sheet and some game time for a number of them that needed it 

[Ne Moe Imya]

That was professional.

 

We were miles the better team, but we still had to make it count on the scoresheet, and we did.  Hugely encouraging signs.  Going forward we look truly magnificent, doesn't matter who's in there all the interchange and pace and menace, it's brilliant.

 

A couple of small negatives, though I'm loathe to be negative after a performance and result like that one:

 

Karius is good, and obviously much better distributing the ball than Mignolet.  But I don't think he's quuuuiiite as good as he thinks he is, and it's going to get him in trouble at some point this season.  Just a bit of a worry, needs to pick his spots a bit better, his touch let him down in the preseason and we all thought it was a one-off, but here there were a couple of poor touches/underweighted passes that make me think he needs to up his concentration.

 

Can is rusty.  Like, really, really rusty.  Great player, in my opinion our best all-around midfielder, but tonight he was off his game badly.  A compilation of all his touches would be shocking.  Hopefully he can get some minutes here and there when we've already settled games and play himself back into form, because that was ugly.

 

That said, overall we were very good.  Those little notes aside, we were thoroughly better and at no point was the outcome in serious doubt.

Listening to the game on Radio 2 with Peter Jones commentating.

 

What a voice he had , loved his commentary. Brings back a lot of happy memories with the Reds when we were successful.

 

Hillsborough apart obviously.

 

Great memories - loved listening to Peter

[magicrat]

All these BBC themes have the hook early on, and then a massive noodle in the middle.

All completely ace though.

[Ne Moe Imya]

This stream is hilarious, showing the camera swaying around between interviews.  Klopp, thinking the camera is off:

 

"I can't believe they didn't show this game!  In Germany, they show every fucking game!"

 

The Sky cameraman waiting for the interview apologised, funny to see the behind-the-scenes bit there.
