ASM's tracking back for the disallowed Wolves goal impressed me more than his stunning strike. Wouldn't have seen him do that in previous seasons.

He's damn quick in a straight line as well as getting around three players, yes impressed me also. His goal was an absolute cracker. Don't recall him having a strike like that before. They did in general keep him surrounded which must be frustrating for him but frees up two of our side.
Yes, we definitely need a second striker, Calum Wis good but just seems injury prone. Noticed Almiron moving into striker roll late in the game. Joelinton used to be a striker but fits better into midfield/supply role (as does Almiron). Good to see Fraser getting on the pitch, but needs more match play to bring out his talents.

Funny isn't it, last season at this time we'd have been more than happy to get a goal and a point, this season I look at it as two points dropped!!
Come on the lads!

Didn’t you just buy that striker Isak?

Or do you mean an extra striker on top of him?

Personally I’d like another. Nothing I’ve seen from Chris Wood convinces me that he has a place in the team, and I think we’re going to contend with Wilson being out for periods of time throughout the season.

Aal reet, howay the lads!
That better marra. Aah, divent kna, some folk, nowt better to de than pick fault.

Was disappointed to hear Krafth out for most of the season. He was absolutely Bruced but under Howe he was much better both defending and attacking. Hope Trips stays fit. Manquillo did a fair job when called upon but there's a bit of a difference in ability.

[Mannginger]

Isak on debut! Awesome start. I really liked that he's not shy to get physical as well.

First 40 minutes had been pretty bloody solid frankly. Tackling and defending very good. Fraser has done well. Excellent start all round frankly

[Mannginger]

WTF. 5 minutes after time becomes 9 to let Liverpool score. That's robbery

[TX1]

Where did those 2 extra mins come from ?

[Dingu]

Probably should have been nearer 7 with all the cramp related issues to be fair.

ETA you look terrific so far though. You’ll do mightily well this season which will be great to see.

Signed, a fan of a lower league team.

Nick Pope flat on his back trying to waste time, karma.

Same time, for you to score too.

[Chicken Chaser]

Robbed. No surprises by them. Klopp is an absolute pig behaving the way he does.

[Chris Stott]

Time wasting started at the beginning of the 2nd half… got what you deserved.

We thought Mourinho was a dick but Klopp has overtaken him big time, true plenty time wasting however 5 mins extra time was given however the amount of time wasted during that did not add up to over 2 extra mins, robbery that was.

Calmer now. A draw felt fair. Gutted about the L but the fact that we can compete and could have earned a result at Anfield this year compared to last is incredible. Isaac looks a great addition as well.

He is calm and collected when the opportunity arises, very pleased he scored on his debut.

[fathomfive]

I'm in the States and have only just seen the result.

How did we play?

[TX1]

We played well and thought the result could have gone either way, unlucky our second goal was just offside.
New lad seems very calm and collected in front of goal.

[fathomfive]

Excellent, cheers!
