True legend, RIP Greavsie.

Being outplayed hete now.

Alisson our best player now, need to step it up here or they’ll score soon.

He is. Especially going forwards. That said he also presented the ref the perfect opportunity to hand them a penalty when he needlessly tripped Benteke. Truely shocking that was, and if the penalty had been given he would’ve been rightfully slaughtered.

We did. Absolutely shocking from Tsimikas.

A good post in full.

Henderson is the weakest out of those three imo. Great character and great leader, but still a somewhat limited player. So far this season he’s been quite poor actually, not that I expect that to continue he’s normally very reliable but just lacking the last bit of quality, and creativity in particular. Elliott wasn’t in team mainly because the others are off form, he was in it beacause he was the best choice to bring both quality and balance to the midfield.

Think I read Klopp saying the CBs can’t play all games, and all of the will get games. Gonna be interesting to see if he plays them as pairs, Van Dijk and Matip as first choice and Gomez and Konate as second. Or if he rotates one at a time, which would give a lot of different pairings.

This.

Didnt catch the first half today so dont know how he did. But think he’s shown in the other matches that he’s one of the best midfielders at the club, and certainly good enough to start quite a few PL games.

I dont know when Salah will start to decline, but with the way he looks after himself I would expect him to remain very close to his current level until he’s 34/35 at least. And I would say that the comparison with players like Rooney, who clearly didnt look after himself like Salah does is simply irrelevant.

+ Aldridge

He was brilliant against Chelsea. His vision and distribution is just first class, decision making like a 30 year old. Also the pressing, work rate and defensive contribution was excellent. Only thing missing was a bit more creativity in the final third, and a goal or assist, even if he was our best midfielder also in that department.

Isnt it more like very few, rather than a fair few?

That’s two points gifted to United right there for you. Must be a difficult job this VAR stuff.
