It's results like this why I think you'll win the league. Your defense is solid so you don't concede many and it means you can grind out results, even if you don't play too well in some games. Add in a pinch of luck plus a few marginal pens and the few results that could have got away from you go your way. The league is a lot more competitive this year which means It's these small margins in a handful of games that could well get you there.
I'm not thinking we'll win the league yet but the rest of this is right enough. We were looking quite average for long periods of games in the early part of the season and yet were tight enough at the back to get a result. Big difference over last season, when we needed to be firing going forward to counteract the dodgy defending. The whole team defends better now (although the 2 big signings clearly help with that, we have balanced our play somewhat, also).

Still plenty of time for the wheels to fall off but hey, not today. Staying top for a wee bit longer.

Lovren is back last I think from Matip and Gomez so doesn't really matter..
Rather him in midfield when they're back we missed his forward passing today for me.
Agreed, we do need him in midfield. Was just making an observation that I thought Fab played well and did the simple things right. Never made me feel nervous.

Midfield was way too static today; although improved second half. Keita was poor mid-week so wasn't surprised that we didn't see him until late on. Matip should be back for the next game so maybe Fab moved back into midfield

Chris Hughton on #LFC's pen: "I feel for Pascal. Mo Salah is probably the most dangerous player in those positions. No complaints."

Let;s see if there are no complaints on here!!

It was a stonewall pen a quality work by him to get in that position.

Happy for the win. Sounds like one to forget.

2 goals and 6 points off Brighton, they must feel a bit hard done by.

Also nice to sit back and see who drops points, the spuds game should be a good watch.

I didn't think Fab played brilliantly at CB. You can see it's not his natural position. Several times there were opposition players he had no idea about right behind him. Including a chance late on where one of their strikers was about to bring the ball down from a long cross after Fab completely missed it.

Looking forward to Gomez getting back.

They have no right to - they showed no ambition and got exactly what they deserved.

Anyone see the rumour that Barca are looking to offload Coutinho and Utd are interested?

I assume it's rubbish but can't do much for the player.

I would have to agree. He did good enough, but would likely be shown up on the odd occasion against better teams. It's not a bad thing, just you can see it's basically his first time there and not his natural position, with our team.

Saw it reported on TEAMtalk as from a Spanish newspaper. Took it with a pinch of salt. I think he‘d also been linked with City.

Would you have him back? At less than we sold him for?

Yes, forget the pride, but what’s he worth, probably 100 in this crazy market

Is he starting often for them?

He's starting but apparently his playing style/position doesn't suit their set up and tactics currently so they're not seeing any where near his best. A lot of Barca supporters are saying they got scammed out of £140m.

I'd take him back at half price.

I guess for me the question would be where does he play, assuming Kieta comes good?

Is
Allison
TAA-JG-VvD-AR
F-NB
MS-PC-SM
RF

Balanced enough?

£140m for PC was daylight robbery. I remember saying on here you'd be better off without him and was chastised for it laugh

Rumor is Barca want rid and want ericksen to replace him. I think they should persevere with PC personally laugh
