Ok. If you'll permit me to go through your initial post more thoroughly, your posts to me anyway, do seem to often be very pro Brendan and well lets say not overly complementary towards Lucas, my opinion.
You say BR couldn't recover from the loss of Suarez & Sturridge, then surely by default the fact that Klopp can take apart Chelsea & City away without those same players shows it was a good call to replace him after all?
On Milner - you thought he was great today yet he was the one who came very close to gifting City a goal with the dreadful backpass yet bemoan Lucas for needless fouls, of which I only remember his making 3 all game, the one that led to his yellow was covering Skrtel and stopping a city breakaway, some would say a selfless taking one for the team foul.
That's why I took issue with your post, I see no reason to single out one player with negativity, and that's what you have done, as you later exempt Skrtel for scoring.
Frankly it winds me up when people criticise without seeing all the good work that he does during the game, backed up most definitely with the stats.
I've had my say, once more, so will now lighten up as you say and hopefully have sweet dreams on Liverpools excellent team win.
