I guess klopp didn't want to risk missing our key players, for EPL and UCL. Imagine our key players limping out like you saw happened to kovacic and willian. We'll be cursing... He has to prioritize.
But that blunder by Adrian is bad. And that 2nd goal, due to Jones losing possession (I don't mind, he's a youngster), combined with vvd made wrong decision to challenge the ball too far from him...

Agree, he should feature more on the bench for EPL game. I'll give him one or max two years to break into 1st eleven. But by next year if he's not playing regularly he'll demand to leave

Somehow agree with this

His dipping in form is worrying, with current performance he wouldn't be able to protect our backline against atletico

Hendo won't magically improved the team, and let's face it he's not the most technically gifted player. But what he'll bring is fighting spirit, never say die attitude...

A quick check, it is confirmed both are out of the squad. So that could have happened to our key players. Of course it is not 100%, but as manager u have to calculate the risk, n take necessary action to mitigate risk. Like now allison is injured out of nowhere... U can never predict that, luckily Adrian form not too far behind.

No surprised there, var never gonna review that unless it is for United. I'm used to that n we never need var before to win. Cmon

The players responded well. When they realised that ref not gonna care about the fouls, they started committing foul on opponents haha.

With the amount of counter attacking chances we got, mina needs to come in some time... Motm so far, ox. But the whole team played with the right mentality.

Adrian also not as quick as Allison to come off the line, and our defenders need to adjust to that...

Yes, I know ox going to be important in this game. That is our tactic to break them. A quick cross and Gini ready to head.

Btw their play acting is not working so far hahaha. I think they have zero shot on target rite.

Wth, we are cutting them like butter.

This game will be remembered by the goalkeeper and the goal post

As I said, this game showcased difference quality between first choice goalkeeper (oblak) and 2nd choice (Adrian). And that little bit extra quality can win u a game. To me that's the level of Adrian we can't expect more, he doesn't ooze confidence like Allison. He doesn't right decision most of the time like Allison n oblak. He's our 2nd choice and he played like a second choice.


He's maybe little bit better than karius, but not much

By watching how they were outplayed and dominated by us most of the game, I wouldn't bet them going far in this competition. Make no mistake, we shattered them, battered them. They didn't have answer to our attack. Only the quality of their goalkeeper and the goalpost saved them.

It's a dilemma actually. We may keep our momentum without the break, but at the same time the player may get injured if not managed properly.

Yes calmness and composure, what is missing in Adrian. When opponent press, you have to make split second decision. That why Allison is good, his awareness of players around him. With one simple pass, he will cut down opponent pressing.

I think it was the surprise element when suddenly Adrian passed to opponent. At that time, our defenders positioning was not the best. It took some turning and readjusting body... Even when you look the shot, I think it was more placing far corner than power... Maybe he could have saved it maybe it was really difficult.
But I remember we also tested oblak with that kind of shots from ox and Arnold, and he dealt with it well

Or announce that number of games for EPL this season will be cut short, and announce the winner now. That will be more sensible.

Hahaha the sarcasm is strong here...

Let Paul the octopus predict the winner hahahaha

I read on twitter on potential departure of naby Keita with mixed reaction from fans.
Everytime I watch his clip on YouTube I left frustrated coz of his huge potential, they he may not fulfil it with us

One of my favourite game...

Just media sensation, nothing else.

Great comeback from Trent... Yeaaaaaargh
Crazy! 👆👆😂💪💪💪
Just like UCL

I don't mind. They should decide what is the best approach...

If African cup not convene next year then it should be ok. Coz, if we gonna loose our key players we better have a proper, reliable replacement in hand.
