Liverpool 1 Everton 1

we totally dominated the game.

And then Klopp takes off our most dangerous player, Salah, mid second half while only one up.

Nutty (unless Salah was injured).

We should have scored far more.

Klopp's team cannot put games to bed.   It's the same story, over and over again.

His game management is non-existent.

I knew when Mane missed the opportunity to pass to a team mate to make it 2 nil we were done!  I actually turned the telly off to go do some ironing...lol.

Watched a clip of Kloppo's interview after the game which was prickly to say the least.  Sometimes you gotta admit your mistakes and hold your hands up.  Not Klopp obviously! 

Taking Salah off!  Hahaha.... Fat Sam must of been beaming!  I mean WTF!!!  Lovren....mmm.  Well we should be used to it by now.  We all know he's got a mistake in him which always tends to cost the team, I mean what on gods green earth was he thinking putting his hands on that toffee in his penalty box?  Nuts!!!

We've been drawn with Spartak Moscow, Sevilla and Maribor.

That's some traveling to do:

Moscow 2,018 miles

Seville 1,584 miles

Maribor (Slovenia) 1,183 miles

Pretty decent draw for us I reckon.

Definate master stroke from the club....  NK is going to be on the biggest stage this season and it was reported that several other clubs were hovering around the player.  I'll most definitely be watching Red Bulls progress in this seasons CL as will other Reds fans I'm sure 😬

So some of the comments I've read on social media regarding Phil is that FSG will not sell.  Supposedly they're trying to present the image that Liverpool are not a selling club 😳

Fair play to the owners if that is true. PC needs to knuckle down and get on with it, similar to VVD at Southampton.  With CL this season we'll need all the quality we can muster to cope with the demands of all the various competitions this season.

Great performance from the TEAM.  But, I'm not gonna carried away as Arsenal we're extremely poor on the day.  The bench mark for me will be beating those teams in the mid to bottom half of the table.   Something which we have struggled to do successfully for gawd knows how long.

Anyone else think it's odd that whilst we've gone after Keita and Van Dijk, two players that it looked difficult to successfully negotiate for from the outset, and not switching to any other targets when it started to be pretty obvious we'd not make a breakthrough, and with no reasonable signs of anyone else being in the pipeline, that's it's a case, with FSG, that 'you don't actually need to achieve, you just need to look like you're trying', or am I just being cynical. (The optimistic bit didn't last long  ).

Not odd at all.  I think a lot of supporters including me have had that thought over the summer transfer window.  To be seen to do something rather than actually doing something feels like a good fit for FSG.

God loves an optimist (allegedly). 

Can't argue with any of that, and if I did, it would be to say it won't even be that good, but I'm not, so I won't. 

Light years behind in our recruitment!

Not a cross between Wenger and Rodgers.  More like the German Kevin Keegan 😂

I tell ya, if Sakho had played we'd have taken all 3 points against Watford.  I'm not his biggest fan but the guy knows how to put a challenge in and is not intimidated by the opposition.

Cheers Tes. 

One thing I forgot to mention was the substitutions made by Klopp from the 80th min.  WHY?  Ok, could understand him bringing Origi on (fresh legs), but to take off Trent....and for what?  So he could get applause from the away end?  Mental decision!  Disrupted what was already disfunctional back four, and with Gomes being introduced to create further internal havoc.

As I stated earlier, only first game of the season...BUT....Klopp's supposedly to have had a good pre-season.  Team well drilled etc etc...  Well against Watford (made them look like Barca) we looked mid-table!

Was at Vicarage Rd on Saturday to watch the game.  Here's an analysis from the away end...... 

1st Half:  Abysmal.  Midfield...er what midfield.

2nd Half: Much better, moving and passing sharper/quicker.  Defending and sensing danger....no change there then!

We looked good in preseason.  The team that played on Saturday looked like a team that was disjointed and dysfunctional.  Henderson with his crablike passes not really using his ability to make penetrating passes.  Wijnaldum looked lost and Can......well not really sure what he was doing.  That insane back heel to Moreno when he could have simply cleared the ball forward led to Watford's throw-in and subsequently another goal for the men in Yellow.  Everytime they had a set-piece we knew it would cause us danger/lead to another goal.  Watford on the other hand were exploiting our fragility very well.  Their number 33 (striker) who was essentially an american fridge freezer on legs just bullied our central defenders, it was embarrassing!  Lovren spent most of his time on his back-side.  Apart from 1 clear chance they created in the first half they were doing nothing from open play.  We caused our downfall, gifted all three goals to them!

I've been a huge admirer of Her Klopp, but I hate to say it but I feel this is yet another false dawn in our history.  There's just no balance to our squad, no spine, appreciate this is the first game of the season but this team apart from Salah is exactly the same as lasts.  Not really sure where we go from here as we will most definitely be leaking in 40+ goals again this year.  With Champions league coming up (if we qualify) this squad with its history of injury's will suffer greatly.  Expect us to be out of top 4 come end of season

Another must win game against Palace!  Will Benteke come back to haunt us?  If we make sure we cut out the supply (crosses) then big Ben will have an uneventful evening.  Looking forward to seeing how Matip does against him actually.
