So far so good. We have been consistence and dominate in every game this season. Missed chances, opposition keepers (Foster from top position, De Gea, Loris) and our set pieces defending have stopped us from getting more points.
Arsenal have two excellent keepers where they can rotate. Cech saved them from defeat today. Ospina has been in superb form in the champions league. We have two dodgy keepers.
WBA goal was an exact copy of Hull goal. The referee missed Olsson stamp on Mane and Olsson holding Matip in the penalty box. The 1st incident should have at least resulted in a yellow card and the 2nd a penalty and booking. Olsson is a dirty player but he gets away from punishment almost everytime. The referee kept giving them the 50-50 decisions and missing Olsson tackles and holding our players.
I like Wijnaldum. I think he's a kind of player that we have been missing in recent years. Strong and calm. Unlucky with that shot. He will get the goal eventually. Can is an annoying player. He has no end product. We can't afford to play two similar players in Can and Henderson. Wijnaldum is so vital.
Matip is another top signing we've made. We just now need to sign a top keeper for the next level
Excellent day. Everton losing and Spurs and Arsenal drawing.
Consistency

disagree re can. I thought he was excellent today the pass to firmino was perfectly weighted for the first goal.
wij hardly played more then 10 mins I think today.

Can was great today

I'm not judging Can and Wijnaldum on today's game only. Can was poor against Man U and we missed Wijnaldum in that game. Also twice Can took wrong decisions and shot well wide over the bar. He also gave the ball away few times. I think our midfielders should have had an easy game because we know how WBA play. They bypassed their midfield and pumped the ball to their forward players.

Emre was very good today, much improved from Monday night and we should let him off considering it was his first start.
Him and Wijnaldum are both very good options to have which will suit us in different types of matches.

Can was excellent but faded last 20 mins which is to be expected. He's got real quality though and as much as I like Gino I think Emre is far better suited to that deep double pivot with Henderson who I though he worked well with today.
Nice to have options though innit cos Hendo is suspended for the cup.

For me, one of Can's poorest games. His passing, attempts at goal were at least not up to the mark. His performance reminded me of the last time I saw him come on as a sub for Germany, when he showed he was, for whatever reason, out of his depth. I'm a fan of his, I hope he is a true success for our club, but today was far from his best.
Karius? "Dear Mig, please come back, all is forgiven." The way he followed the ball then gave the corner away which led to their goal was worrying to say the least.

Shock horror another witch hunt for a Liverpool goalkeeper.

Can was excellent you complete fools. He's getting his fitness sorted but he was very good. If you need goals and assists to judge a player then just forget about it.
We might see Can and Wij vs Spurs which is something I'd like to see

Keeper looked assured with his kicking yesterday and until their goal looked good although very little to do.
Shouldn't have given the corner away but after that not at fault
Jurys still out but he showed a glimpse of his sweeping ability something mig is useless at

Got to give karius time to adjust to the riggours of the new league.
If he's looking dodgy this time next season then fair enough, until then let's give him some time.
