Gallowgate Toon

It's just a bizarre take. He admits Klopp's behaviour wasn't on but says Howe can't have an opinion on it because Saudi. He also seems to be annoyed by the fact that he's answering a question.

Is Auclair alright? 'a midget'

He's been very heavily strapped up recently and his movement seems laboured. Definitely think he's playing through something.

Nervous first 2 minutes but was great from there.

He did all the fundamentals excellently but was inconsistent on the ball. Still, his primary job was a fucking good one.

Absolutely incredible move.

We're definitely managing the squad with intensity during this fixture run, like. Dropped off quite a bit second half and basically walked them down. 1 shot from them is absolutely pathetic.

Journalists who have been crowing about whataboutism for the last year now using whataboutism is laughable, like. Howe is sensible and will just ignore it - he's not here to seek anyone else's validation and that's the right approach. Surprised Klopp's comments are still raging on. Seeing fans of billionaire-owned clubs saying that they're 'normal' and it's now unfair to compete with someone even richer is a fucking joke. The deal with the devil was made long ago.

Wilson is a huge plus for a match like this. He's Ba-like in his ability to win battles for small spaces and getting onto the end of things as a result.

I'd love to see Anderson start as the left forward but I think he'll stick with Murphy. Only other change I'd make is Willock in for Longstaff - they've got an athletic & combative midfield that we need to match. Bruno will be key to success.

Thought it was weird how we tired in the second half. I wondered if Howe had told players to conserve energy for the run of games (coupled with us having a thin squad) but he mentioned there's been some illness in the team so maybe it was that.

Christ, that's really, really annoying. Was really hoping we'd see some 4-4-2 hybrid against Everton.

Noticed that he roamed far less today as well. Seemed like he'd been instructed to hold position much more, likely due to their threat on the counter.

Today's the type of game where you want him as the '8' and not the sitting midfielder, imo. Puts way too much emphasis on his shoulders to play defensive lynchpin + playmaker. I thought he was absolutely fine and did a job for the team.

Hopefully, that means the plan isn't to start him on Weds.

I don't think Joelinton is fit. Had some very heavy strapping on & movement seemed very laboured.

Botman was absolutely class.

Good result as they've been in good form. Disappointed in the second half management but that's where the quality of the squad is most obvious.

Jo's having a bit of a stinker, like. Seems to be holding onto the ball too much.

Decent. Feel like it mightn't be our day though after the Joelinton miss.

Ffs. Going to be after the world cup when we actually see everyone together. What was Howe's injury record like at Bournemouth?

Good, fair deals are absolutely fine; it's more the stuff that City have been seemingly caught doing when setting up fake companies just to funnel through their riches. That absolutely stinks and I'd hate it if we did the same.

Not a fan of adding a sponsor to the stadium name at all.

His point isn't invalid but he must realise that Liverpool have played a part in it becoming a problem. Not all growth for top clubs has been organic... Football was fucked before state-based ownership came along. Tbh, I don't want to see us become dodgy commercial dealers and ridiculous spenders. I really like what the approach appears to be at the moment.

Cooper has turned a situation around where he was facing the sack incredibly well, like
