Watford (H) - Top of the League post match comments

We recorded more shots on target today than any team has managed in the Premier League since Opta records began.

Aside from Sturridge, most of those shots never really threatened to go in, which if you ask me is a bigger problem than our dumbass defence.
 
Was absolutely buzzing until we conceded.

Was I the only one who could see it coming? After Mane went off, we slipped back a few gears. it was crying out for Ejaria and Origi to come on at that point (especially Ejaria earlier than he did), I have nothing against Gini, but those two should be hungrier, and Ejaria would have tried to keep the tempo up trying to impress on debut.

Anyways, 6 goals and top of the league. Result!!
 
Well, well , well .

Karius turned up , which was nice . The front 5,6,7,8,9,10 or so players were all ace.

Coutinho was epic , I would love to keep hold of him as this is definitely his year but if he keeps this up surely Barca will want him as iniestas replacement or Madrid just cos'

Mane , firmino and lallana too were boss .

Can gives away stupid fouls too frequently but was otherwise good , Henderson broke up play expertly and started off man an attack well.

The only real negative was sturridge not being able to best the wood work
 
How many games will the Mane man miss at a minimum/maximum? Anyone?
Group games (Algera, Tunisia, Zim) - 15,19,23 of Jan
1/4s - 28/29 of jan
1/2s - 1 and 2 of feb
final & 3rd place - 4th and 5th of feb

Liverpool games (assuming no cups)
Manure 15/1
Swansea - 21/1
Chelsea - 31/1
Hull - 4/2
 
Honest question - what did Lucas do wrong? should have scored and I think he was as solid as any of our 'weaker' players. Let's bump him up to an 8?

I think Lucas was at blame for their goal (more than most..) he charges out to cover Milner (no need to do so) leaving a hole for Janmaat to get the ball and get through at goal.

HOWEVER. We were simply awesome today and when you're 5-0 up you can't forgive slight lapses, especially when it has come from desire to stop an attack, rather than just a brain fart
 
Crazy that we set the record for shots on target (since 2002 at least) in a game that we hit the woodwork 3 times in!

I thought it was Henderson's fault, if any one individual is to cope any criticism, for not being aware of who was around him in the box.

EDIT: Who was the miserable summariser on Sky? "All too easy" was his refrain all match long as the goals rained.
 
Oh i see currently the new love an our ex's are all top of their respective leagues. How lovely.
 
That was terrific. The potency of the front three is starting to remind me a little of the Barnes, Beardsley, Aldridge triumvirate of the late 80s...not in terms of like for like comparison, but just how completely unstoppable they are on their day.

Nobody let us down today...even Karius made a couple of saves. Special mention also for the two CBs who both handled difficult, physical opponents very well indeed...especially Lucas who I thought was superb.

Honestly, I think we're going to win the league.
 
I know you lot are having a bit of a ding dong about Firmino right now:

Roberto Firmino has scored five times and assisted three goals in his past seven league games for Liverpool

Hope that helps somehow

It's all ding and no dong. He's ace. There's no debate.

Absolutely Hendersons fault
 
Southampton will be a toughie . Still with players like Sturridge on the bench , id like to think we have enough in the locker to do them relatively comfortably
