I hope Jurgen hasn't gone gun shy, we are playing too many one paced plodders in midfield, we needed to get Shaquiri on there as the passing from of our midfield was awful. The front 3 are miss-firing as well.
How we are top god only knows.

7 consecutive clean sheet at Anfield *woot*

doesn't make sense considering how lively Shaquiri was preseason...I'm tempted to even drop Bobby of needed..

A bit one dimensional from our manager by picking the same side as last two outings.

Shaqiri and Sturridge coming on a bit earlier might have spiced it up a bit.

That's it mfkrs...I am calling this a night.

Lot tougher than I had hoped and a game we draw with Karius in goal. Workmanlike not pretty but winning this way is how titles are chiseled out.

Bit of a strange performance by Naby today.. looked like he was under strict orders to keep it simple and to not get out of position. He hardly moved forward and he took no risks all game.. I'm hoping Klopp let's the shackles off and let's him express himself next game.

Had a feeling it will be a tough encounter i didn't think we will smash these lot.

Anyhow how good 3 points and another clean sheets. All maximum at the moment lets keep this going.
Poor Salah lost his accuracy towards the end.

Exactly, I thought the idea of having a deep squad is so you can rotate when players are injured or not in form.

Our last 2 performances have been very scrappy, I watched City draw at Wolves earlier and they played better than we did today, Wolves's goal was clearly handball but the officials missed it. City hit the post 3 times. We on the other hand look very disjointed, Firmino hasn't had a pre season and it shows.

I think Klopp is waiting until September and the Champions league fixture pile up before he does any major rotation, when we have two games a week etc

Klopp needs to take the shackles off the whole team not just Keita, we play Tottenham, Chelsea and City next month.

Wasn’t a champagne performance but the players really had to graft today hence why someone like Shaqiri doesn’t come - Brighton were superb in their set up and we had to grind and be patient , it wasn’t a game for the video archives but it was a result that was extremely important

Superb at the back and the “one pace plodders” in the midfield were brilliant - Milner and Gini excellent today

What shackles ? Brighton were the reason why the front three struggled today , their first class workrate and denying of space meant the front three couldn’t get going and at times had to drop deep - at times Keita was also getting too close to the front three and going into their space , he needs to learn when to move forward and when to leave that space for Mane etc

But Klopp didn’t put any shackles on its was a battling performance made hard by a very disciplined opposition who were coming off a great win.

3 games - 3 wins - 3 clean sheets

Milner and Gini, along with the likes of Trent, Robbo, Firmino, Mane and even Mo gave the ball away countless times, it was a poor performance at home against a team that will finish in the bottom half.
