Liverpool outstanding and 4-1 was probably a fair reflection on the game, I still maintain Stones is no way near the finished player yet and Otamendi will never be a top class defender, he's looked good this season as he'd had no defending to do.

Surely Klopp will be looking to bring in a keeper?

Klopp has to bring in a keeper in my view. Defensively I'm happy with VVD and Robertson. If Matip can develop a partnership with VVD that would go a long way to sorting the back four problem, albeit Gomez is too prone to costly errors. I think he needs to be developed into a longterm Centrehalf solution and either Alexander Arnold or Clyne given a sustained run at right back. Not sure what the story is with Clyne but it his absence and lack of comment appears increasingly strange which would make you think the rumours are true and he might never play for Liverpool again.

But there needs to be a solid keeper behind them.  Souness made a (rare) good point yesterday, How often do Liverpool keepers win points for the team by making saves you would not expect them to make? Courtoius and DeGea in particular do it regularly but with  Mignolet all you hope for is no errors which is not good enough for a team that aspires to compete for titles.

Liverpool's keepers will not pull the defenders out of a tight spot. If a defender ballses up, like Gomez did yesterday (again), then rest assured it's more or less a goal.  Reina has been the only high quality keeper Liverpool have had since Grobelaar retired back in the early 90s imo.  It's been an achilles heel for too long.

Liverpool have two no.2s competing for the number 1 position at the minute, until this is addressed its hard to see them  winning the major honors

Karius isn't even a No.2 imo.
Would love to see Ward get a chance myself.

Ward is a strange one.  He looks the best of the 3 anytime i've seen him.

I haven't seen an awful lot of him, but i would agree.
I would love to see him be given a chance.

I didn't look, but was it Fowler when he nudged Gary Neville?

Did Firminos goal yesterday remind anyone else of a similar goal Liverpool scored back in the day?

As soon as he scored it I thought of this goal.
From 21 seconds in.

Nearly identical in the build up, the shoulder and the finish.

Firminho's been another great buy.  Really important player.

[Gabriel_Hurl]

17 goals and 7 assists this season - proving his worth for sure.


questionable taste in fashion but he can wear whatever he wants as long as he plays like that

Enjoyed that game yesterday, highlight though was the collective groan/worried moan when 4 minutes went up on the added time board

Liverpool are probably the most exciting team in the league I'd say? For good and bad reasons. I was watching that yesterday, and when it went 4-1, I did a little dance. But a neighbour was in visiting my wife, and she (the neighbour') said, "God that's a great win for Liverpool". I replied "Emer, all that does is probably guarantees a point ".

Brilliant game to watch. I really like robertson as a left back. Just simple stuff. There was one occasion in the first half, I think, where City put in a through ball for Aguero (I think) to run onto. The centre halves were in trouble, but he had tucked in and cleared the danger with no fuss. That's the sort of thing that doesn't show up in highlights, but if he's not there it's a clear run in on goal.

Well for the neutral Arsenal/Liverpool is the game but least Liverpool look like they are heading in a direction.
