Jurg needs 2016/17 Lallana back in our midfield to bring in some creativity. Whether that happens remains to be seen.

Makes me laugh how quickly the average liverpool fanbase have turned on Mo. The bloke scored 40+ goals last season

He just needs to refocus. That shoulder injury threw him plus going into Russia 2018 unfit. Could do with a rest mid week then unleash him on City.
We have to win against City, we don't with Napoli. Would rest a few midweek, think we're looking a bit leggy already

Studge looking revitalised. Hopefully chips in with 10-15 this season which would be very handy.

Basically had a rest midweek this week though. He'll be fine.
Think the time for Hendo not being a part of the best midfield is drawing close. Out of Wij Milner and him, if you have to drop one it'd be him, and Naby's been better than him this season

I would play Hendo / Keita/ Gini myself personally when everyone is available. Lallana for Gini if he rediscovers his 2016/17 form. You just need to have that player that cleans up at the base of the midfield and gets the ball to your attacking players who can run all day and Hendo is that player for us.
Gini is a better holding mid than him nowadays
Keita simply must play since he has skillsets the rest of our midfielders don't have, we still need to buy that creative playmaker in January

Gini isn't a bloke that intercepts and breaks up play particularly well. I trust Klopp on Hendo, you need unheralded players doing the dirty work and he is the best at that role for us IMO. PSG was a perfect example of that.

What a strike by Sturridge!
I'll take a point away to Chelsea! A really tough place to go, so to come away from there without being beaten is a good result for me. It was a cracking game of football played between two really top sides. Chelsea will definitely be around at the point end of the season. They are playing really well under Sarri.
We can still play so much better though. Huge couple of games coming up now.
As for the Hendo debate, right now he's not in our best midfield. Gini and Milner have been in fantastic from and for me, Keita should be the third man in midfield. He offers so much more through midfield than Hendo does. Wij can play the 6.

Oh and I loved Hendo's passion when he was substituted. He's a pretty good leader. He was frustrated that the team was still losing 1-0 and he could no longer effect the game. But then he ran off quickly because he didnt want to waste any time and then when he gets close to the touchline, he revs up Keita and then gives Klopp a hug.
Yeah he's mad about coming off and wants to stay on but he took the substitution very well and led from the front with his actions. He's a good captain.
I also noted once Hendo and then Milner was taken off, the armband went to big Virg

Is it just me or is there bad blood between us and Chelsea? I just get a bad vibe with them, ever since Abramovich bought them.
At least with Everton, there's the derby rivallry, with United there's the long term rivallry, and the mutual respect, eg both clubs have had tragedies in their past, LFC gave support to United after the Munich disaster etc, but with Chelsea, I sense nothing, just a bad vibe. Heaven forbid another tragedy hapoened to the club, every other PL club would offer support except Chelsea, that's the feeling I get with them. Be it the several champions league matches we've had against them, the FA Cup final in 2011 (or 2012), them trying to buy Gerrard, Torres transfering to them or Mourinho's go slow tactic in the game where Gerrard slipped, i just get the feeling there's no love/hate relationship, no commonality and no respect between the two clubs, it's like a cold bucket of oil and water. I could be wrong but it's what I have always sensed since Abramomich bought them (mind you I barely knew they existed before Abramovich bought them ).
Anyway I thought the game changed when Hendo was subbed. If Klopp wants to start and sub Hendo for that impact effect, sub him sooner. Sturridge honestly what a lad.

67 minutes into the replay. We have played very well. The save from Mané was outstanding. We are on to challenge this year

That had to be one of the worst performances we have put in in a long time. I'm stoked to come away with a point after that crap. If that midfield plays together against City then we won't score unless we get lucky on the counter. They offer absolutely nothing going forward and the constant sideways crap is infuriating. When we are in front or the front 3 are playing well, the midfield is fine. In games like that snore fest, they are a liability. Naby has to start every game now and he really should have come on 20 minutes earlier. For as much as everyone is saying how poor the front 3 were, Robbo had just about his worst game for the club too.
As Studge was shaping to hit that I basically yelled "don't" at my screen. I'm glad nobody listens to me.

Are you going to do this every time he scores? I never doubted his talent.
I did doubt his fitness when he was unable to replicate a 20 goal season for 5 years due to injuries and was sent to West Brom where he went goaless for that loan spell and got injured 2 minutes into a match.

Yes.
You were relentless about him last season, taking digs at every opportunity. It's only fair.
People never learn when it comes to Sturridge.
We're not even a quarter of the way into the season, he can easily pick up an injury that puts him out for 3-4 months like many times in the past, which is what people criticize him for.
We had more good chances than Chelsea and deserved to win.
As for the Sturridge debate, he's on fire now but he has a helluva lot of catching up to do.

Ok if that's your purpose can you please do it in PM then? We don't need to be privy to the 'told you so' back and forth
