I've been very impressed, I really like the look of a Gini, Fabi midfield.

Yep
Because he doesn't play it sideways thats the fuck why.
What a half by him!
And by Shaq wow!
Well, if Shaq doesn't cement himself as a first teamer with this performance then I'll be very surprised. He's been great.
Elsewhere, Gini is on fire, just brilliant. Fabinho gets better & better, plus is offering a bit of a shock by looking to run forwards with the ball at times, certainly more so than you see Hendo doing.

Remind of Veron.
Shaq deserves a lot of credit for how he's started the season. It can't have been easy coming here after seeing how the front three performed last season but his attitude has been top class and he's not looked out of place at all.
That lobbed pass to Salah in the box around the 40th min mark was ridiculous.

Has Klopp found a way to incorporate Shaqiri into the team by switching to 4-2-3-1 and playing Salah up top with Shaq on the RW? This seems effective and Shaqiri has been our best creative for the last few games, something that has been sorely lacking. Now Salah can just focus on being a predatory striker, which is where he is at his best.
I think Fabinho and Wini had a good half together. Wini is smart enough to hold when Fabinho leaves and Fabinho feel more comfortable when we lead.
I like his forward passing too - and also how comfortable he is driving forward with the ball. If he can get up to speed in other aspects, he’ll be quite a player for us.
Almost certainly. I doubt he'd play this against every side, in fact I think we're more likely to see this used sparingly & a more solid side more often.
It does mean we can, in theory, bring Shaqiri on & switch to this formation to blitz sides should we need to.
Sure, but 4-2-3-1 can be a defensive system too; in fact last season that was the system we used after the Spurs drubbing in away games to be more solid. If Mane and Shaq can prove they are willing to defend when necessary, then why not?
@FoxForceFive - I am really enjoying this game. The team is full of forward thinking movers and passers. I am getting my mojo back.
He has been very good the last25- 30 mins of first half. Calm but still effective on the ball and good timing off the ball.
In summary, I think Crvena Zvezda is giving our attacking players exactly what they were missing for most of the season - an end-to-end fast-paced game. This is like oxygen to our front 3 and you could see how after a tentative beginning our patented high-speed moves started coming off more and more often as the half progressed. This is exactly what I was hoping for from this game.
It's no coincidence that it's this time last season we started to improve.
Shaq has been excellent. Some really deft passing.
Thanks for the updates, lads
A draw in Paris would do us well.
Agreed, but it's a very energy intensive way of playing, which is exactly what klopp doesn't want week in week out this season, whilst the way we've been playing is much less fluid, & demands much less of the players & should help us later in the season as a result.

Great start to the second half. Started where we left off.
Fabinho with a shot from outside of the area. Unfortunately mistimed it & hits it wide. Lovely play to build the chance though.
Salah.
Three nil.
