Hold on, now there are CL games on Thursdays too? What kind of devilry is this?

I know Curtis splits the fanbase in terms of attitude and abilty, but have to say this was excellent.
Big credit to the club and Curtis.

Love stories like this were people who deserve it get a surprise of a lifetime.

So let’s talk about Cody. The Milan game was possibly his best performance in the Liverpool shirt to date; he might not have scored, but he dominated his fullback and was key in making our system work, creating consistent danger and penetration that was missing against Forest.

The 2nd half of this video contains an interesting heat-map based analysis of Gakpo and makes a strong claim that what he is, his essence as a player, is certsinly not a Firmino-esque intelligent playmaker who finds pockets of space and deftly connects attacking moves. Quite the opposite, according to this analysis he is more like a Rashford (this is my comparison, not the video guy’s, but he probably would agree) - a pure physical wing-forward who needs to be encouraged to run at the opposition every time he gets the ball and not asked to do anything too sophisticated - just take players on and create high volume of shots and assists.

Do you agree with this line of thinking? Did Van Gaal make a mistake in moving Gakpo centrally and did Klopp repeat that mistake? Does Gakpo have enough speed, energy and trickery to be a full-time winger at a top level?

Sorry, I am not @Modo, thats best I can do as I a title
The walking disaster we Dejan has commented on how the club is missing his failing ass

Anybody here know (or know of) the poor bugger who went over for the match and died in a car crash the night before..? So sad.

Died of colon cancer aged 59.

For years I hated Italians because of his goal against Ireland in the 90 world cup.

RIP Toto.

Wins at the San Siro & Old Trafford for Slotball, but we need to bounce back with a win in the league.

Can we expect same team as Forest? Almost certainly. I thought Gakpo did well, but Diaz & Mo are both in form.

Ali

Trent
Konate
Virgil
Robbo

Gravieira
Macca
Szobo

Salah
Jota
Diaz

A game where we saw the worst of Klopp and also the best of Klopp with Slot added in.

Alisson
Alexander-Arnold (Gomez 79’)
Konate
Van Dijk
Tsimiks
Gravenberch
Szoboszlai
Mac Allister (Endo 92’)
Salah (Chiesa 92’)
Jota (Nunez 68’)
Gakpo (Diaz 68’)

Subs:

Gomez - 79’
Nunez - 68’
Diaz - 68’
Endo - 92’
Chiesa - 92’

I remember a few weeks into last season everyone was like Belling-who?? and 60M was apparently a steal.

What do we all think a year later?

He's clearly talented but he's worryingly inconsistent. He offers great running power and when he's good, he's very good, but now when he starts, I'm almost expecting that I'm going to have to wait 40-50mins for him to get into the groove of things (if he does at all).

What do we need to see by the end of year to be convinced?
