How you treat the pitch is part of the home advantage, obviously worked for them today.

Pitch has always been a poor excuse, the other team aren't playing on a different one

Klopp was just pissed off and mouthing off rather than looking at his team selection and the players performance

[Let off some steam Bennett]

klopp what a utter prick you are, poor old little west brom should of let you win. Useless comeback, what a muppet.

[jammy-git]

Bit strong mate.

I think Klopp was probably pissed off about the pitch because a dry, hard pitch can increase the risk of injury.

Ok, thanks for coming.

I’ve only seen the highlights but have some sympathy for Klopp (although I do think he is a bit erratic). WB were dirty as hell and deserve to go down.

I’ll say the same thing as I did about the Spuds, though: the squads depth just isn’t there for a challenge for the PL. Fine for cups, but you can’t have players like Moreno as 2nd choice. He is the kind of player that opposition fans love - he’s pub team quality.

[jammy-git]

True, but Moreno is currently the weakest player in the squad. I’ve no doubt he’ll be replaced this summer.

I think the only thing we've all learned from that game is how good Trent and Robertson are.

& the fact you are very weak at defending set pieces & Dzeko is a far better player than Rondon.

With a Euro semi coming up & 4th still in the balance it must be great that the season is still alive for a few clubs.

Strangely enough we've generally been a lot better at set pieces recently. Today was like the bad old days regarding them. Just looked like our issues that were much more obvious before Christmas came back. Perhaps less surprising when you see some of the players that were back again.

I did wonder if we'd have set piece issues at the start - when coming out of the tunnel it did seem like they were generally taller than us. But we could have won anyway, as well as losing too.

Yeah it was like the pre vvd days a bit. For the first goal especially, the second goal could have been avoided too.

On reflection, to put a positive spin on it, we had a bad game overall, didnt really create a lot of clear chances, and got away with a point at our bogey club. We could've conceded from any of the corners in the first half.

But at least Ings didn't do a silly dance after going 1-0 up, then lose, eh bcm?

I do hope so. Don’t really want to get someone who will push Robertson out of the team though.

[Shamrock_]

Great pass from Ox for Salah's goal, the weight and angle was perfect. Ox has got a lot more to his game than I ever game him credit for. The scouting team deserve a lot of praise as his signing seemed quite underwhelming at the time.

So, Salah is now the best goal scorer in the premier league since Suarez, the record in a 38 game season is 31 goals and is held by four players:

Alan Shearer (Blackburn Rovers, 1995–96)
Cristiano Ronaldo (Manchester United, 2007–08)
Luis Suárez (Liverpool, 2013–14)
Mohamed Salah (Liverpool, 2017–18)

Half of the premier league's best ever goal scorers aren't strikers?!

I can't see Clyne getting back into the team at the moment, Robertson and TAA are definitely first choice.

If we get someone who pushes Robertson out the team, then surely it means we've found someone better than Robertson, which can only be a good thing?

Obviously not reflected in the stats but how many of the others' were pens?

[SydneyBridge]

I know Salah has one pen this season. Don't know about the others !

Ok, it's a slow day and I was curious... In those seasons,

Shearer - 3 pens
Ronaldo - 4 pens
Suarez - 0 pens (Gerrard took 'em all)

[jammy-git]

Has Mo had any penalties for us? Maybe 1?

Yep, just the one pen in the league.

[m3sye]

As I've just said in the city forum
He has never gone more than 2 games either and has also broke and set the record against the number of teams scored against In the league, which shows he doesn't bag high numbers against weaker teams to gloss his stats
