@KiwiPie Stupid fucking game anyway .....
I did say we'd fucking fuck up against WBA and Brighton after having battled well against the big dogs.
I hate being right
Need a couple of lucky wins when you play badly - other teams seem to manage it.

Of local interest, Winston Reid has been loaned out to English Championship club Brentford by West Ham. Reid was one of many central defenders linked to Liverpool in recent days.
He's 32 now and the prime of his career was disrupted so much by injury. He joined West Ham after the World Cup in 2010 and in over 10 years has only played 194 games for them. Brentford are currently tearing it up in the championship so it could be a real chance for him to show what he can still do.

Liverpool signed two defenders today. Probably neither would have been on the radar in a normal January.
In the past Klopp has worked his new recruits in pretty slowly, as he reckons the need to "learn the system". One assumes he does not have that luxury this time.

When it rains, it pours. Just one of those seasons where injuries cruelly diminish the strength of your squad. Doesn't help that for a period there we couldn't score.

And Liverpool bomb out again at home - no defeat for 2 years and then lose consecutive home games - in fact behind closed doors playing at home doesn't seem an advantage at all given there were 5 away wins out of 5 today. And this season there are more away wins than home wins and Man U, Leicester, Everton, Villa, Leeds and Brighton al have much better away than home records.
Liverpool v City is already shaping up as a decisive game - should City win, they will be 10 ahead of Liverpool with a game in hand and you can almost write Liverpool off as title contenders. A Liverpool win and they close the gap to 4 and it is all one.

@KiwiPie What's the sub rule now? I see spurs have made 5 subs. It used to be three.
5 for FA Cup (in 3 batches) as per the rules in the EPL after lockdown. EPL blocked implementing that rule for this season.
Also first concussion sub in the United v West Ham game - Issa Diop. But he was withdrawn at half time after playing on from a head injury 10 minutes or so before. Which makes a mockery of the rule really, the whole point is for players to be assessed immediately and making a sub while it happens.
