That could well be the league only pal.
The referee is a complete bollox but a very solid performance thus far. Loving the attitude across the team.
We have had quite a few really dangerous moves ... so have they ...
1-0 seems fair, but easily could have been 3/4-1 to us ...
I don't understand how VvD can get a yellow for that tackle. He got the whole ball, and the follow through wasn't malicious etc ... Ref has been SHOCKING - which is problematic.
A bit sharper in the final 3rd please ...

I love and hate watching us play like this. I think VVD hates it, so could do with scoring one more and reverting to a more considered approach.
Doesn't work. We either have to score another 2 or more or stop them from scoring.
Good first half overall.
I thought the yellow card for Virgil changed the momentum of the game.
Salah making nothing out of the Robertson cross had me thinking it was going to be a bad night for him. What a fucking goal though.
Using his body to take Rui out of his way, feinting his way around Koulibaly and then the look across the box making Ospina move outwards. To combine all three seamlessly within 15 yards and score was breathtaking.
It's not over but we've been better than I thought we would.

That's what it said after the yellow unfortunately.
I am impressed with what Napoli has done in CL so far. Tonight they are on a mission to Mars (no pun inteded towards they being sponsored by Mars chocolate bar back in the days btw). This is a test for them and they have not been bad at all. But we normally have more engine power as the games go by.... we should do this.
It is harsh. . I don't want to see players injured, but the one being late in this tackle is the other guy.
Thinking more about the control vs passion thing, I think Klopp decided that the new "controlled-style" performance doesn't work in Europe for whatever reason – it certainly didn't vs Napoli last time – and we need to go back to the frenetic style of last season in the CL games. Which is kind of opposite of conventional wisdom – usually managers go for safety in European games, like Fergie who usually played 4-4-2 in the league and 4-5-1 in CL.
I hope they do a Mourinho... park the bus... and think a 0-1 do them more credit than us.
the other second best CB at the club will be back by then !
Ryan is his stylist,
What the fuck was that Wijnaldum?
Salah drags a decent chance wide
