Jurgen looks over the moon.

Such a shame you can't score direct from a throw-in!

Weren't they looking for a sponsor for the Main Stand instead of stadium naming rights? I imagine they didn't get the interest they wanted.

No big company is going to be interested in that, the camera rarely pans up to the top of the stadium where some branding might exist, and people rarely talk about this or that stand.
They want their name in the stadium title so Gary/Jeff have to say "over to the Anfield Wonga stadium" on MOTD / Sky.

On the face of it I'm glad its still Anfield for the sake of say £10M/year - if we are missing out on £50M per year then we should just swallow our pride and take the cash (and invest it in the other 3 stands to up the capacity and make the stadium look less off balance

The name Anfield has some cachet. Once you change it then it's gone. Any stadium naming deal would be unpopular and possibly devalue the club as Anfield is synonymous with Liverpool FC so the numbers would have to be huge for it to make sense, thankfully Birds Eye Potato Waffles didn't cough up the cash.

Slightly more palatable if you've just moved into a brand new stadium but still seems too corporate. Let me keep the illusion while being bled dry for a bit longer.

Moreno didn't travel as a precaution.

Just in case Klopp turned up pissed and played him by mistake.

Any news on why Gomez didn't even make the squad?

[ChocolateFrog]

Just seen he's got an ankle injury. Let's hope it clears up as quickly as Neymar's surely will.

Got a kick in training.

They do. Well organised and with a bit of a plan on the break.

Shaqiri trying to be busy and their keeper looking alert.

I am going one nil to them, Alisson cock up.

[NRS]

Already had an Allison cock up.

Just seems to be yet another one of these games this season.

[Cbull]

Sometimes you just need a Peter Crouch.

[NRS]

Good save by Alisson there.

Well Alisson has just made up for that cock up.

[Puggit]

Token Watford fan here.

Cracking game - just livened up!

Very worried by John Moss - he's very well known for being a big team ref.
