Elliot - Very good. Really wouldn't mind him coming on late in a few league games once they're already won.

Jones - See above.

Oxlade - Poor. Expecting so much more, especially with him starting in the middle.

Keita - Not much to say, really felt like a game to get minutes in his legs. Wasn't poor or great.

Lallana - Shite. Sick of seeing him now. Would rather watch a youngster in there.

 

Brewster - Poor. Has never looked good enough when I've watched him play, even when he scores. He's a great finisher but just isn't involved in the game at all otherwise. He's like the anti-Bobby. I think it says a lot that he hasn't been on the bench even with Origi out, this performance kind of explains why.

 

 

Agree with most of this. Also think Hoever could turn out a good player, but doesnt look ready for the first team yet. 

[Leyton388]

Elliot was quality tonight and MOTM for me. We've got a gem there. 

[Anubis]

That’ll do, piglets. That’ll do. 

[Numero Veinticinco]

Elliot looked to have potential from what I saw. 

[El Rojo]

Great for the development of these kids that they’ll get another game in this competition.

 

Solid night’s work.

Let's have another Milk Cup to add to the collection now we've started collecting shiny things again

Rumour going around that Rochdale have equalised.

 

Can anyone substantiate this?

Herbie Kane looks like Klavan's dad.

Waiting for a transcript from the White House. Or Tyler.

Sucked

Brewster looks a bit shit. 

 

Elliot looks a bit good. 

 

Everything else meh.

Scrappy second half but a deserved win. I'd like to say it was comfortable but it wasn't, once MK Dons could be arsed attacking they caused our defence numerous problems. Defenders such as Lovren and Gomez with their international experience should be far more commanding. Gomez is the biggest worry because he just switches off at times, just going through the motions as if he's above it all. Reckon he has a sulk on due to the lack of first team action. 

33 year old James Milner MOTM for me. Elliott played well and was unlucky not to become our youngest scorer ever, I say unlucky, he should have scored at least one with those chances, played well though. Jones was also good although tailed off nearer to the end. Hoever scored a decent header but was a bit of a mish mash performance wise. Brewster was poor. Kelleher looked Ok and made a couple of good saves, only 20 so he can build on things as a keeper. 

Apart from Milner and maybe Lallana none of the senior players covered themselves in glory.

Into the hat for the next round. Hopefully we get Colchester/Oxford (hammering the hammers atm) Burton or Sunderland at home.

 

Rochdale as well, when they knock the manc scum out on pens...fingers crossed.

Thought it was alright.  Everyone had their nervy/rusty moments.  Brewster had a much better second half.  We’ve all seen these nights go wrong a lot more often than they’ve went right.  When you compare that to previous games it was miles better.  The young lads looked very comfortable playing against men which is a good sign.  I think it’s also an easy banana skin for the senior players.  I don’t really understand the whinging about Ox either he hit the post and basically set up a goal for Jones if he had been on his toes.  Plenty of people were ready to laugh at Lovren after that early cock up but Gomez did something similar himself later in the game.  It was a very professional performance all things considered 

[1892-LFCWasBorn]

Laura Woods is fit as fuck.

[Lee909]

Only halfed watched second half as I'm at work. 

 

From what I saw

 

Kids did really well

Older players(barring Milner) average at best. Gomez and Lovren looked half arsed at times. 

 

Keita OK for first game back

 

Lallana just bang average as per normal, keeps the ball well but offers fuck all

 

Ox still looks well short of pre injury form.

Brewster needs loaning out

He is not strong enough, epsecially in the air, but physically all over to play as the 6

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Nice interview with Klopp, as usual.
