Wasn't that the game where the Suarez/Evra incident occurred?
The 15th October must be a significant date for Munch though for that connection to be made...

Interesting to watch our players today, English and Welsh. They can certainly make an impact.
Enjoyed Sterling too. But for slightly different reasons.

Yikes!!! Of course - that would be it.

Matip is coming in, and there are players like Gomez who can play there, so he wasn't likely to be in the first team picture. I imagine two of Matip/Sakho/Lovren will be first choice. |

I'd be fuming if we let Ings go.

I will tut EXTREMELY loudly if we sell Ings. We need 4 decent forwards at the club. I want to see him try and prove he's good enough, as I believe he's a cracking 2nd/3rd choice striker at the very least.

If Skrtel doesn't get MOTM tonight, something is even more wrong with England than what we can already see. Joe Allen played a stonking match for Wales too.

The Daily Mail has criticised Nathaniel Clyne, claiming he cost his country a penalty by staying on his feet. Clyne, arguably England's MOTM, is being criticised by that shameless rag for not diving!
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/foo...t-tripped.html I'm sure if Hamsik dived and knocked England out they'd have been prepared to praise him for doing what he needed to win the game...and I'm sure they've never criticised players for diving in the past. How can Jamie Carragher write for these people? |

Skrtel was good but that kind of defending is where he excels. Defend in the box and just attack the ball.Where the problems arise for Skrtel is when you want to defend higher up the pitch and the defenders have more space to manage. Skrtel becomes a liability when this is the case as he always wants to drop deep. If you watch the assist from Allen last night you see Allen take that ball in one touch and turn 180-degrees and turn a defensive situation into an attacking instantly. This is something that none of our other midfielders possess the ability to do so. Anyone else in that situation will take a touch to control the ball and take another two touches to turn. Two touches to turn instead of one and the chance to split the Russian defence wouldn't have been there. Allen's beautiful turn meant that he took the Russian back four by surprise and they had one less second to prepare for a pass. |

However despite his performances it does seem as if Can and Hendo are seen as first choices in CM with Lucas another option and Gruic (and maybe Zielinski) coming in and so it is hard to see Joe as a starter with all that competition. So if I was him I would not blame him for leaving - and if he did I think we may regret it - imo none of the 5 in the above paragraph are clearly better than him. My only thought is that Klopp is not an idiot and so I still retain hope that despite the above we will keep him but we will only find out for sure once we see how the summer pans out post Euros |

I don't think Allen will go anywhere.
Henderson should.. Sorry, could though... |

I don't want to see Joe leave, but, should he go, he will always have a place in the hearts of LFC fans - he's turned into something of an icon with us.
I also don't think Henderson should leave either, in spite of the opinions of others. He, like Joe, is a game changer with an excellent knack for controlling matches and making stunning passes. Hendo is coming back from a long injury spell, and is still a little bit rusty - but it's all there, and the more he plays the better he's getting. This is when I really wish we were in Europe next season, and could justify keeping/rotating players, but sadly we aren't and we need to gather together an ace squad for the PL. We all just have to trust that Klopp makes the right choices, I don't envy him one bit though! |

I am increasingly concerned about the Allen situation in that I think he has improved beyond recognition in the last 6 months or so and therefore should be kept with there being a strong case for him being a starter. This has been seen in both his displays for Wales and LFC.

He use to get a raw deal from fans. Like all players he had times where his form dipped but generally he has been a good player for us.. |

All times are GMT. The time now is 01:14.



The 15th October must be a significant date for Munch though for that connection to be made...
