Missing Leicester is a bit of a pain, but if he only misses that and Atalanta, it's not soo bad...

I read a few minutes ago that tonight's win v Everton is the 250th since Klopp became manager, and of all Liverpool's managers, he's got to that target in the fewest games (414).

On current form, it will take him a lot longer to get to 500.

Form is temporary

Class is permanent


Good to get a win though. Now need to take advantage of the players coming back from injury and salvage something from the rest of the season.

The ref was feeling sorry for the MUFC's towards the end and let a lot of fouls go - inc. Fernandez hitting the linesman in a fit of petulance.

Could this not be reviewed retrospectively? And indeed, should it not be?

Certainly should be.  Fernandez is one of the biggest brats in the premier league - and that's saying something.

Only obliquely about Liverpool, but topical:-

from the BBC's report of Newcastle's game against Wolves:  "Magpies ended a run of three straight defeats in all competitions to leapfrog Liverpool into fifth on goal difference"

If they'd had a Gary Lineker to ask he would have been able to tell them that in fact Newcastle are two points above Liverpool and with a game in hand.  At least they are according to the BBC's table.

Also, I wonder if anybody checked for unusual betting activity over Liverpool's games with Manchester United and Bournemouth?!

That would implicate Mr. Klopp, which I find most unlikely.

It wouldn't necessarily have anything to do with Klopp. Far easier to fix it with a couple of key players, say de Gea and Salah. But I can't say the Bournemouth result looks dodgy really. Upsets do happen.

I wasn't really being serious - after all, this isn't cricket we're talking about!  Although I am old enough to remember the Tony Kay scandal.  Actually, speaking of cricket, New Zealand have just pulled off their second last-ball win in only 2 or 3 games, I think.  That's not unusual in short-order games but very rare in Test Matches.  But strange things do happen, obviously.  I mean, England beat Italy at the rugby.

They pick the venue for European finals ages in advance.  See for e.g. 2020 when two BRITISH teams were obliged to travel to Portugal at the height of Teh Plague.  Though they did move one from St Petersburg last year.

I see that Herr Klopp is to leave Liverpool at the end of the season.  I fully understand his reasons.

So will it be the Kop or the opposition fans who will be giving us adaptations of "The leaving of Liverpool" for the rest of the season?
