Best start to the season in 29 years .
And I loved Klopp’s post match presser comments that he would happily take 8 consecutive 1-0 wins over one 8-0 win.

They were trolling us fans. 3-0 up, switch off 3-3 and then get the 4th .

Just don't understand Klopp's fascination with Henderson. He is a bench player at best. For every good game he has he has about 5 where he does jack shit!! Needs to give Keita a sustained run in the starting side

Well, Kieta getting a sustained run in the side is up to him staying fit. Was off the pace last year for chunks of it, and looking at our results you can't really argue that the decision to have Hendo there over him was the right one. Just as Kieta was starting to find his stride he got injured so ... Also would argue that they play different roles in the team but that's for a different discussion ...

Hendo a bench player at best? Look, I get the knockers of Hendo as I really thought as soon as we'd signed Kieta and Fabinho in the same window plus were looking to wrap up the signing of Fekir that Hendo would be out the door. Wouldn't have been upset by it if I'm honest, but at the same time would've missed him.

However, I think people hold on too much to the past when looking at him as player and don't give him enough credit. There are times when his passing is Gerrard like where he'd ping impossible balls with outstanding vision. Has a great engine, determination etc. Most importantly he fits our system. He helps the team win. Against Barca last year ... I thought he was instrumental in that win though I guess we could say that about every player.

Bench player at best? You're having a laugh mate if I'm honest. Wasn't great last night but he's been a key player in our team for some time and only started getting the credit he deserves last year because of the results we were getting. We won.

Can we see the return of the defensive wall tonight?? Conceding way too easily this season, I know we don’t have Boom Boom Becker in goals, still...

Be thrilled with a 1-0 result!

Biggest test of the year so far, our last 4 performances have been ordinary at best, need to be on tonight.

Have to agree with you on this one. Extremely worrying our defensive performances of late, and being without Matip again is a concern. Gotta perform stronger in defence, seems like we're going back to 2017/18 where we just all out attacked. Need to show more maturity.

Expecting big things from Gomez this game. Was all over the shop against Salzburg

Lovren and Milner starting over Gomez and Hendo. Ox injured again...Elliott bench hype though!

It's lovren isn't it
Yup. Milner also added to the midfield is meh, not that Hendo was killing it. Really needed one of Ox or Keita to be fit and starting.
