I reckon he's giving Klopp a bit of a dilemma, because it's pretty clear he's better playing with a strike partner in a front 2. It allows him to be off the leash and play off the last defender. But it means Klopp has to abandon his beloved 4-3-3 in the long term (or does it).
Not sure what our midfielders are up to this season. In the first half they had a number of chances right outside the pen box, our CBs had to come scuttering out. Both Fab and Hendo were MIA. It's becoming clearer that our midfielders have not been providing as much of a cover this season.
Fab has been really disappointing so far. Our lighthouse has dimmed its lights.
I think both Henderson and Fabinho have largely been poor this season, one of the reasons I haven’t clambered aboard the blame Trent bandwagon.
Fabs has previous for short lean period.
It's Henderson I'm more worried about. I think this is it for him.

yeh I love it !
Some of the shots against West Ham, and the 3 chances he created against City. Its clear to me with his pace and strength he has a bit of R9 in him, and a bit of Torres in him. We need him more than ever to play in all our league games especially with no Diaz and Jotta because we really are shitting the bed in our away games.
Guys - I just wanted to say that I have proper full on man-love for Darwin, I just think he is going to be awesome for us. I can see him scoring 5 against Leeds, I know we are playing bad, but just to watch him do all that crazy shit is worth watching Liverpool this season despite the inconsistency of the rest of the team. We all knew he was going to be special - I mean getting sent off on his home debut in the league is something special no one will forget. I can't wait for the next game.
The only thing that any of you should take from what Klopp has said is that his numbers are incredible thus far. On that matter Klopp is 100% right.
The graph doesn’t show he is “better” than Haaland; they are about even in expected goals. Nunez is higher in expected assists - but I doubt it will translate into higher actual assist numbers because passing is not his strength - he will get into positions to play a teammate in, but will more often than not get it wrong. However hopefully he will increase his conversion rate to match Haaland - I think he can at least get close.
What it does show is that his movement and ability to sniff out chances as a striker is superb. A player who takes 5-6 shots per game from good positions WILL score lots of goals.

No I get the point mate, I’m just being an arse.
Were Darwin's parents operating the advertising hoardings when their boy makes the interception? Watch from 10s
I’m still holding fire before I join the Nunez fan club, but when all our strikers are fit, maybe he is what we need. He’s unlike any other striker we have. Could have easily scored a couple today.
I was convinced after missing two sitters that he was going to score a goal of the year candidate. Guess that can't happen every match.
He has so much potential and so much retard in him you never know what will come out
He played a few really smart passes tonight, like the one to Firmino at the start – and there were a couple where the idea was right, but not the execution. This is encouraging – he clearly sees his teammates and doesn't always go for the obvious option. But poor execution on a certain % of passes is just something we will have to live with, just like we did with Mane.
He’s the Forrest Gump of strikers!!!!
Agent of Chaos. Brilliant whoever coined that on here.
