I MEAN, at some point someone is going to have to intervene. This is getting beyond reasonable.
If they were an animal, they would have had a big dose of getting put down by now.
As it stands, they are like a fucking horse that fell at the National a few years ago. Broke its leg. Wrapped it in a tent and considering shooting it. Decided to just lash a tubigrip on it, “go ‘ed lad, sound that”. Bounced up, trotted about, believed the bollocks. Back to the National fences today, tubigrip fell apart.
For the love of everything holy fucking fold, lads. It’s a real shame what’s happening to them.
Adrian: 6
Didn’t really do much aside from some passes that I could have played. Wears them leggings, like. Looks like Travolta’s bird in Grease in them fuckers. You better shape up, dickhead.
Trent: 8
Mad. Was really good defensively until he decided to try and ping an absolute ping to the left wing and they scored. Did well to manage the yellow.
Degsi: 9
Was genuinely tremendous. Attacked everything. Won everything. Didn’t let that little weird ming upfront for them get any change. As good as he thinks he is in his own head.
Virgil: 8
Not as good as Degsi which is wild, but still well better than any of their crabs. Thought he hurt his ankle and panicked.
Robbo: 8
Laughed at fucking Avril Lavigne playing centre mid for them. He is just so good. Them marches down the left wing first half were instrumental in The Reds scoring.
Gini: 8
One of them days where you actually get to see all of Gini’s dirty work. Normally he is invisibly providing absolute structure for The Reds. Today, he was absolutely high-vising his donkey work, filling in here there and everywhere. Tremendous.
Milner: 8
Just picks his way through the game. Not letting people get the better of him, blocking runs, being a fucking nuisance. A burro. Tremendous.
Lallana: 9
I thought he was tremendous, you know. Absolutely part of the trap set by Jürgen and the boys for their right-hand side. The trigger for the press, no let up, won it all day.
Sadio: 9
Man of the match for me. Played like a ghost on Mario Kart first half. Flirting in and out. “Where is he? Is he on my shoulder?” That poor full back, lad.
Flipped from ghost to human in a flash and then set up two goals. Took his goal like he was John Barnes, except he might well be better than him, and should have scored two more second half.
Unreal. Our best player, but we have got loads of them.
Div: 9
He fucking hates the Blueshite, la. Like a mix between Rush and Dalglish. Sublime. The touch for the second, la. He is probably the greatest fella in Europe.
Little Mad Shaq: 8
Hasn’t ran since the summer. Jürgen drops him in the start against this motley crew. Rewarded the faith in buckets, la. Didn’t put a foot wrong. Got on the ball, played, scored, worked, showed them up as shite.
SUBS
Henderson: 8
Come on and was like Sounness. Seriously. Unreal.
Firmino:
Wasn’t as good as Div, but in fairness he was like fucking Van Basten, so you know.
Gomez:
Into it.

Sadio Mane ran the game. Here is a lad who can handle responsibility. In the form if his life. I hate the idea of best players because they become demanding and troublesome when not playing their best. We have a team full of best players. But when Sadio is the best best player it is good for all of us. He is so able and humble and will never stop working.
As for the rest, you have to feel that Divock and Shaq will get some more game time soon. I hope they do.
The defence was dodgy but I guess that is the consequence of the awesome attacking display. Not sure I agree with the Lallana review here, was great at times then catastrophically fuck up here and there. What a game!
Degsi was his usual self wouldnt say he’s at fault for both goals but he was at the scene of the crime on both occasions ..
Lallana the root cause of them scoring the first so no ways the above two should get 9’s.
Same team in the Cup thanks.
Agree that Degsy was equally culpable for the 2 conceded, yet he played brilliant all night other than those 2 moments when he forgot how to defend… and yet both of theirs were scruffy goals they didn’t deserved and fluked. Lallana was more culpable for the first and their 2nd, we had two on the right wing who stood and admired them setting this up.
So whilst Big Dog isn’t someone I class as a favourite, I felt there was so much more he did last night and does deserve a positive mention.
Tonight really demonstrated how much quality and depth in this squad. Can’t help thinking about when I was a kid and wanting to be able to choose a favourite player only I could never make up my mind- I feel a bit the same now- they are all giants, legends, we are watching greatness unfold. The goals they are scoring, here and vs City are sublime. They are so good they are making it look easy. Pure class. Mane and Origi outstanding tonight.
Ben, you’re my hero.
What a fucking right up lad! Exquisite..
Imagine their expressions when they see Divock’s name on the teamsheet for the Cup. He really must seem like some sort of supernatural malice towards them now. I prefer to think of it as Kill Bill 3, where the Big Div takes his boundless vengeance for Ramiro Funes Mori’s shithouse tackle. Tom Davies thinking, “I was fuckin’ 11 at the time! What have I ever done to deserve this horror?” Sorry, lad. Some shit is just cosmic.
Elsewhere, a shout for Shaq Attack going the full 90. I forgot how entertaining he was to watch. You can fully understand why he doesn’t get in ahead of Salah, but he’s a smile and a half on the ball. Looking forward to him playing lots of shite teams in the festive season.
And bless Ole’ Degsy for providing two fingers to all the people who’ve written him off time and time again. There’ll always be those that blame him for any mishap, but he was again better than the best defender on the planet. And saved a certain goal that he could have easily turned into the net. Immense, the old fart. Glad he hung around.
This.
Also, Klopp spoke of not being brave enough to also start Joe and Naby. I can’t see Trent not starting this match, and I’m glad Klopp kept our current starting back four together. But Naby starting could’ve been special.
Always love reading these Ben, but the “Degsi is having a great season” bit is wearing thin. Not great on either goal last night. Great as a 4th choice to come in for games here and there, but not mad about him being a regular again.
We’re shipping a lot of goals and I don’t think it’s a complete coincidence that we looked imperious at the back last season when he was nowhere near it.
