I imagine, it is because normally the game naturally becomes more stretched in the second half of games. When he has space to run into, he is class. The run and ball through to Cisse was evidence of this. Aye but he just doesn't seem to make any kind of effort before the 50 minute mark. Just jogs around making ridiculously predictable passes and runs. So frustrating.

For some reason, this guy always seems to come alive midway through the second half. His pace and power running with the ball on the counter is devastating. Didn't have a good game today iMO, but he's so dangerous when he's in full flight. Shame it only happens for 15 or 20 minutes per match.

Did well to parry the shot from Kane away from goal and away from the 3 spurs players right in front of him. Save from Lamela (?) one on one was pretty decent as well.

Out of those that started, he was definitely man of the match. Hardly anything got past him. Wish he had scored that header.

How long before this ubercunt is suspended again? iirc it's 2 matches for 10 yellows? Utter pap today apart from one or two clearances.

without fail. Only 4 of that side started on Thursday and they played at home.

Delle Alli. Very good player. Diving cheating nancy.

Oh yes that would have been a jizz worthy goal had it gone in.

He's a fucking treasure this lad. Just wish SMC would stop calling him Ayozzz.

Luckily I can. Honestly, I could go on and on and on, there are dozens of these. The way you paint yourself as someone who warned against the dangers of getting rid of the loathsome c*** is absolutely unbearable. Absolutely brilliant

dat passing move

Anyway, back to HTT, he used to be a good poster, but the last few posts have been turbo s***. Thug and a tart tbh.

I'm playing you in H2H next week. Gonna wipe the floor with you Roger Kint. Who am I kidding. I'm shitting it.

Matt Bellamy IMO.

ouch

That's almost exaggerated nonsense HTT. The other side of the coin is that he's still very young, and new to the league and the country. He's shown commitment and given us something up front we haven't had in a long time - balls. He's scored a couple of very good goals, and could have/should have had more. His lack of mobility is deceptive and during the good spells we had, he put himself in very good positions to either have a shot on goal or lay it off to someone else. I don't think you can blanket judge him the way you have IMO.

Yup. Mad to think this was only his second start for us in the league? Has an air of "knowing" about him. Just a natural footballer. Looks to have a good understanding with Wijnaldum. Really needs to start every game as long as he stays fit.

Absolutely no problem with him being dropped every now and then if Cisse is going to be putting performances like that. Way too young to handle being our main guy at the moment. Up until the second goal I really felt if we'd brought him on he'd get himself sent-off. Eventually I'd like to see him up front with De Jong.

"NEWCARZLE"

IMO Sissoko was timid and downright pitiful in the first half. Grew into the game when it looked like we could get something. Tells a lot about his own belief in the team, that he only really started to play when he felt we could maybe come out of it with a point or a win. Wijnaldum actually played the full 90 minutes for a change. Cisse was excellent up front on his own. De Jong had some good moments but clearly needs to play much more football before getting back any kind of sharpness. Colback was alright and Anita a little better. Dummett wasn't as bad as usual. Janmaat much better than recent performances. Mbemba and Colo did the simple stuff well, and Elliott came out for everything. As someone said earlier, I didn't celebrate the first goal but went batshit mental when the second went in. Lucas, Allen and Firmino are w***. Love Klopp, hate Liverpool. More important than the 3 points was the fact that I didn't have to watch Sturridge do his wank celebration.

Tbh I thought he was our best player by the time he was taken off. He has one hell of a chest control on him. For once he actually "led the line" despite not having any real chances.

This. He's a superb manager, and a top top class guy. Well jealous. But today they can all suck on it.
