I don't know whether anyone has looked at hotel prices for the weekend, but fuck me they're ridiculous.

Tsimikas and Konaté both immense tonight.

He tries to style everything in rather than put his foot through the ball. It’s infuriating because as betrayed by the evidence he is not good enough to do what he’s trying to do.

Jurgen Klopp: “After the game I said to Thiago, ‘If I had known how good you were, I would have signed you four years earlier!’ He said, ‘You taught me how to run!’ - I take that.”

he is.

Tsimikas should have played today, but despite that disappointment he showed balls of steel to put away the best penalty of the lot.

true leader

never is.

when will we learn re Firmino? Is there a 5 year rule?

looking like the 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022 version at the mo.

specialism.

Robertson killing us at both ends - terrible performance all round. Let's hope he scores now.

Calm down you flappy bastards

why don't you actually watch what Thiago does?

Agreed. He's also been our best defensive midfielder.

He never nicks it, the opposition player just does exactly what he wants to do. It's so fucking depressing to watch.

Thiago has won more ball than Keita and Henderson - and has been our most creative player. Salah going off would normally be a huge blow, but there was no sign he was going to do anything in this game. Still woefully short of his best form. Jota and Mane will score in this game.

He must be - two of their best changes came from Henderson's passive approach. One of which he gets nutmegged from a non-tackling position rather than crowding the player out.

Watch it back

Henderson’s fault that injury - did his normal running alongside when a tackle was needed. Ducking out again.

Any friend of Isreal is a cunt, and I would regard them as the Israelis regard Palestinians. Subhuman.

TU?

Happy with Konate in this. The right foil for Chelsea.
