Sharing press conference

Thanks CR.

Atleast we are a happy bunch today. Really chuffed we got 3 points and despatched West ham.
It would be sweet if Arsenal falter rather than us having to win next week.

Nice one CR.

Highlights for those who missed it.

Sorry lads but I'm going to be a miserable tw.t  We played some great stuff today. Couts showed just how he can direct operations from a deeper role. Danny also showed just how good he can be. But having said all that if Firmino had been fit Klopp would have almost certainly stuck with the same team and gawd knows what would have happened !! I just hope Klopp learned something from his good fortune.

If Klopp doesn't play the same formation against Middlesborough he will be asking for trouble !!

Coutinho in a Fabregas role was brilliant today totally orchestrated our best moves, one game left and we can let the hair we've all pulled out in watching our last five games a chance to grow back over the summer

Where's Aglymoon?

Lets be honest West Ham were rubbish and just couldn't be arsed.

Solid win but it means nothing if we don't beat Middlesborough next week.

Coutinho back to his very best again.

And to kick things off a moment of brilliance from Sturridge, showed everyone why Origi is completely out his depth.

Such a shame that Daniel is made out of paper, he would have been up there with Gerrard, Torres and Suarez as one of our best players of the last 10-15 years had he stayed fit.

If Studge stayed fit his goal scoring record could have potentially been better than Torres and Suarez, shame really.

Couts done well in a number "8" role. He commanded the game very well.

I just thinking though is Klopp going to put Studge back on the subs if Firmino is back??...
I'd rather stick with Studge upfront for the final game.

Sturridge did a hell of an advert for Westham to buy him.

40 million pounds and he is yours, even throw in Origi on loan to get that deal over the line.

It's highly unlikely this Sturridge would last more than 2 games without those damn injuries:

I liked the body language between Sturridge and Klopp. Not sure that Danny is going anywhere in the summer. Yesterday's game showed just how important it is that we hang on to Couts and Danny. The same formation as yesterday with Mane instead of Origi could be interesting next season. A new quality left and right back would also be beneficial. COUTS FOR CAPTAIN ??

Big credit to Klopp for the team selection and formation. He got this one spot on and what a refreshing change to see us playing footie again. Sturridge is worth fixing - he's that good. The body language between him and Klopp was either a) showing us there's no problems, all is well in the camp and he'll be still here next season or b) they've already had the discussion about him leaving and the deal is done between Klopp and Studge. Pressure off - go enjoy your last 2 games in a Liverpool shirt.
West Ham were pants to be fair but we despatched them with ease - just as it should be done!

[devaney]

Leeroy considering the amount of flack you have given Klopp I'm amazed that your giving him credit for that team selection and formation. If Firmino wasn't injured the outcome could have been very different because Firmino would have been playing. Ok he didn't play the unimaginative Lucas and that was a good decision and allowed the extremely imaginative Couts to play a deeper role.

[leeroy74]

No I'll always give credit if it's due. I don't dislike Klopp at all, in fact I'm desperate for him to do well at our club and take us far. I just haven't seen anything from him that really gets me excited especially in the last 12 months.
Yesterday he got it spot on and I applaud him for that. However, next week he might make a dogs dinner of it and we'll be back to me calling him clueless.

Firmino, Sturridge and Mane up front with Couts at the tip of diamond pulling strings. That would be my fav formation up front.
