Best defender in the world is Lovren. He said so himself.

I'm looking forward to seeing a good few of our second string in action tonight. I think it'll give us a fair measure of the quality of our strength in depth. I want to see Fabinho and Kieta in action, as they're really expected to be first teamers, a good performance from them in particular will be promising I think. Also it'll be interesting to see how our old first team defence performs, again a good barometer of our quality in depth. And then can we score with the expected second string attacking lineup? Very interesting encounter this one, given where everything is at this season.

Ok sorry

I was close. Mane for Salah and Milner for Henderson. Looking forward to seeing Fabinho and Keita together!

Hope we have a different ref for the next game.

Also if migs does better with the header that leads to their first we win that game.

Hopefully the FA cup can give us a few easy games to give some young ones a go.

Matip front post for their first goal. If that was VVD he would have been first to the header

Very frustrated right now, they had a better first half overall but we grew and grew into the game scored a lovely goal then we collapse at the end. Morano again so poor all night, moses had a field day and once hazard was in that position I knew there was trouble. Poor refereeing decisions aswell that was no foul from first goal. Very frustrating as we had a much better game, Clyne and Shaqiri had a fantastic game.

We'll be a different proposition at the weekend.

There's a huge difference with our front 3 together from the start.
Alisson is on a different continent to Mignolet for his distribution.
Our chosen backline won't allow the likes of Moses and Hazard the amount of time they had.

Disappointing to lose our 100% record but it would have been a monkey weighing on our backs going into Christmas and beyond remaining in the lessest competition.

Disappointing, for sure. Great goal from Sturridge, shame he couldn't finish the one where he rounded the keeper.

Shaquiri and Keita were boss, and Clyne looked decent. If we had to pick one to lose, it would have been this. Hopefully Saturday is better.

The biggest thing we were missing was the width of our fullbacks. With Robertson and Trent playing, we'll be a different prospect.
