Klopp said so too. Poor first half were we played over the midfield and chased one and one... but we saw it, rectified it and won it. That is superb.

Haha! All the negative bastards on here must feel better now
I can't even be arsed getting into this, but you were quite clearly having a pop because people were pissed off in the first half, like it was some grand masterplan or something from Klopp, we could have been dead and buried at half time. Luckily we weren't and everyone can enjoy the win, but you're the one who decided to pull out the "negative bastards" comment, those posters had every right to be negative and it doesn't warrant the gloating.
Rectified what? We put on Firmino and Coutinho (and then Sturridge) who put them on the back foot. We just put on our better players, moved other players back to their more recent positions (Milner and Clyne), got some quality and cohesion back and turned it round. Clyne and Milner shouldn't have been moved out of position in the first place. We not only lost quality through not having Coutinho and Firmino, we then hampered ourselves further by fucking around with the system and player positions.
Whatever mate. The match threads are filled with oot comments, and this is what you point out after a win. Well done.
Reading through the match thread you'd think those 45 mins would determind if Klopp is a good manager or not. Seeing as we actually turned it around, both the match thread and post match thread got more quiet and less posts. Which says it all really.
Anyway, whatever. I'll enjoy the win and stay clear of some small time bickering nearly a day after the game itself.
We adjusted the way we played mate. If what you described isn't rectifying then I am not sure what is..
We'd still have been shite with Coutinho, Firmino, Mane, Lallana, and maaaaaybe Henderson missing.Imagine if we'd just started the game with people in their correct positions.

I am not a fan but he definitely deserves praise particularly for his performance yesterday and generally for the improvements in his overall game since he got his place back.Ming has generally been very good this season. He has had a couple of clangers, but every keeper has those over the course of the season. His distribution is also coming along nicely.

Yeah. Things could have been better. But Klopp obviously hoped that Trent and Woodburn would case Stoke more problems than a setup with Lucas i.e. Klopp and his team spend a lot of time working on the setups on training ground but this time we had no time to do it.
We played too many long balls towards origi. He was the veteran leading the line and we failed. It was not down to who played in what position but more how we solved each situation.
But we got as deserved through their goal, used the intervall well and changed the game. Of course some fans can't enjoy it because we could have not som the game, while others appreciate that ever 3 points going forward take is close to the CL.

Did anyone else think "Firminoooooooo fantastic goal and WTF DID YOU HAVE TO RIP YOUR SHIRT OFF AND GET ANOTHER BOOKING FOR?". He's got a surprisingly poor record with yellow cards and needs to work on that.
Yeah, it was definelty a "WTF not again" moment. But I can forgive him regarding yesterdays emotions. Just dont do it again.
I more think its a really stupid rule
He tried hard, but I didn't think he looked that dangerous TBH. It isn't a criticism and I've got hopes for him, but he's got a way to go yet (part of the problem is he can only get in the team playing wide and that isn't his position). Nor did I think it was a peno TBH - there's a definite time lapse between the tackle and Woodburn falling. I don't think it was a dive but I do think he basically just lost his balance.
I hope you are right about Woodburn. Having seen the likes of Tommy Smith, Robbie Fowler, Steve McManaman and Michael Owen make their first team débuts, however, they had a massive impact so that you knew they were going to be fantastic.
Origi does it and often gets it wrong, but at least he tries to make a yard for himself to have a shot, even if it's often a bit ambitious with better options around him.
