Its amazing how a posters loathing for a particular player can even see him magically materialise as a 'starter' on a pitch he never stepped on until the f

As for the game I thought Lucas shored up our midfield when he was eventually introduced ,and reduced any chance they had of finding the winner ,Ojo looks like a real talent , his close control is exceptional and he gave Newcastle problems in the limited time he had.
Benitez is a master at changing games especially in the second half and he targeted how defensively weak our FB's are when they're pressed ,Wijnaldum was perfect for doing precisely this ,after they had scored their first goal Rafa even switched him to play more centrally in behind the strikers.
Klopp knew the impetus had suddenly switched so he threw Milner in at Fb to stop our flank being so easily exposed ,and Lucas to shield the back four ,and it so nearly worked with Ojo and Sturridge linking up well in forging a few opportunities to snatch a winner.
I thought young Stewart play was tidy enough ,but alongside the erratic Allen it became more and more disjointed and the lack of any understanding resulted in our conceding the second goal after Sturridge lost the ball running in on goal and they practically passed the ball straight through our middle.
Yesterday showed us just why having a DM who can disrupt an opponents attack is vital to establish any form of midfield control over a game.
