Good result. Couldn't watch it unfortunately as I'm on a business trip in Canada and the time difference meant i was at work.
Sounds like Coutinho and Firmino had decent games, so will be interesting to see who misses out against Hull at the weekend

Just got back from tonight's game at Derby, it was as easy as the score line suggested. Derby never threatened and to be honest I don't think we got above third gear either.
Delighted with a clean sheet, at last!
Firmino was our best player in my opinion.
Karius didn't have anything to do but I thought his kicking was really poor, similar to Mignolet's. Also when Emre Can came on I don't think he completed a pass to a Liverpool player, every pass went astray, still he's coming back from injury so won't be too harsh.
It was good to see a mixture of first team players and fringe players, Klavan, Grujic and Origi all getting 90 minutes.

It's embarrassing playing so many first team players and not getting the result, as rodgers did a few times against teams like oldham notably (suarez sterling etc) so I'm surprised klopp hasn't played more youth players. Guess derby may well sit back at times and he wants to test his players more on the ball perhaps/prove his players can knock down sides who may to try to play fairly conservatively. So it was because of Suarez when we finished 2nd, but it was the manager's fault when we lost to Oldham. You know any manager can have one special season, look at Ranierri last season, he's won only one trophy in his carreer

How did Grujic get on? Glad he was playing and given a chance after looking good in pre-season.

first goal quite lucky, second goal too easy from a derby perspective, third goal well worked, deserved all our goals though. very good performance first half, good second half but some misplaced passes from emre + others and we didn't take full advantage of our opportunities. probably should do a 1 to 10 rating (including .5's) but I'd only be stingy and give a lot of 6.5s if we qualified for the CL and someone performed exceptionally then 9.5s or 10 would be on the cards. Feck the Begrudgers!

agree chris didn't want to say anything about karius post match either, as I'll end up promoting flip flopping from one match to the next on his credentials as liverpool's first choice goalkeeper. but he didn't look confident/calm, and yep on the evidence of that his distribution is no better than mignolets, but I hope he'll have more to offer than mignolet in the more important departments. when he came for a corner in the 2nd half and missed it completely a clean sheet over derby could of been wiped, uninspiring competitive debut but I'm not going to criticism him affirmatively before he's even had 3 games in the starting lineup just let him get on with it.

kept a clean sheet but let's remember Karius wasn't tested at all, his kicking was loose and he missed a cross from a corner.
Mignolet back in goal against Hull.
