Pre Match - Watford (h) - Sat 12:30

[MomoWASright]

Nice ball by Thiago.

He’s been very good today.

 

[Shay_K]

Could do with a 2nd.

 

[dmishra]

Thiago absolutely purring today

 

[KopRed]

Jones has been really wasteful today.

 

[Markeh]

As much as i enjoy watching Thiago i look forward to getting him off the pitch and keeping him safe for the big games

 

[Tinto]

Jones has been really wasteful today.

Hasn’t really got into the game

 

[Shadey]

It’s a scrappy doo out there.

 

[Shay_K]

Bobby's passing is sublime today.

 

[MomoWASright]

This has been a good not got out third gear performance. Watch Ferdinand say this is how you deal with the business end of the season.

 

[Fabio]

Mo trying too much.

Heads gone

Don't offer a renewal

 

[KopRed]

That's just a stupid foul from Joego.

Do we have to? I normally just turn the TV of at half time to avoid looking at his stupid face

 

[Markeh]

Why Joe, you’ve got the legs

 

[Holle]

Stupid yellow.

 

[Red rose]

Thiago good tackle, he’s been great !

 

[Shay_K]

Yellow for Joego

 

[Judge Jules]

That's just a stupid foul from Joego.

True, but overall he's done OK in a position where I haven't been much impressed with him previously.

 

[Fabio]

Can see Trent coming on around 70. Gomez is a bit of a red waiting to happen

 

[Shay_K]

Why Joe, you’ve got the legs

And there were 2 other red shirts ahead of him

 

[Red rose]

Coffee time

I can’t see Trent coming on unless we are struggling.

 

[Markeh]

True, but overall he's done OK in a position where I haven't been much impressed with him previously.

He is very good at reading passes and intercepting, i forget that about him

 

[Judge Jules]

Yes, he is. It stands him in good stead when he plays CB and it's reassuring to see him - at long last - transferring that skill to the fullback position.

 

[Squiggles]

Bobby and Thiago with the best performances of the half.

Sarr continues to impress for Watford. He'd do well here.

 

[Hansern]

Very rusty half. Thiago excellent. Need to get going a bit more in the 2nd half

 

[KopRed]

True, but overall he's done OK in a position where I haven't been much impressed with him previously.

He has got to be smarter about it. Weaker oppositions live off set pieces, especially at Anfield. The opponent was going nowhere, there is no need to risk a foul in that position.

 

[The Nomad]

A slow first half. Tiago, Virgil, Firmino and Robbo on it. Gomez, Jota and Jones a bit stop, start.

Salah has been marked out the game somewhat.

 

[Fabio]

Do have to say, thiago is very clearly living his best life today. He's been great

 

[Judge Jules]

Do have to say, thiago is very clearly living his best life today. He's been great

Games like this one are where we see most clearly why Klopp wanted Thiago. Without him our midfield still has limited ability to pick the lock on a team playing as Hodgson always gets his teams to play.

 

[Judge Jules]

Trent himself would have been proud of that cross ball.
