Go

[robertobaggio37]

Sign that Puertas lad, he looks good

[newterp]

That half was criminally negligent 

[Chakan]

Bit disjointed which is expected.

2 goals I think could have been avoided.

[DelTrotter]

Get me the final whistle and no injuries.

And don't bring Diaz and Darwin on!

[AllyouneedisRush]

Want to see those lines drawn...

Well in mini reds, doing OK so far

[Clint Eastwood]

Kelleher having another one of those games aside from that one good save.

That first goal was definitely offside mind.

[Nick110581]

Disjointed as expected.

Jones and Endo been pretty poor on the ball. 

[Funky_Gibbons]

That Nilsson has done well, can see why Everbody’s Talkin’ about him.

[mikey_LFC]

Miserable commentators, shit ref and a gang of cheating grocks as opponents, what’s not to like.

[tubby]

Don't think anyone has played well.  The kids aren't getting involved enough and we're getting bullied in the middle of the park.

Great goal from Quansah but that's about it.

[Drinks Sangria]

Expectedly disjointed. Gordon looks capable of making things happen. The two young full backs are struggling but should be kept on the pitch for now as a learning experience.

I’d like to see their first goal again as it looked off. Kelleher’s position was poor for their second.

[RyanBabel19]

Pretty much as expected

Their first looked blatantly offside but who knows

[Chakan]

Kelleher having another one of those games.

That first goal was definitely offside mind.

His positioning for the 2nd left a lot to be desired.

[newterp]

Want to see those lines drawn...

Well in mini reds, doing OK so far

Seriously - 25 mins later - no lines.

[markedasred]

Their first was well offside, oh well, no big deal

[gerrardisgod]

Get Ibou off that absolute quagmire of a pitch.

[Samie]

Quansah! 

[b_joseph]

Little disappointed with the midfield lads...bit of a sieve at the moment

[RyanBabel19]

Kelleher got his positioning all wrong for that second

[Schmidt]

Only saw it once but Konate couldn't seem to decide whether to defend that first goal or not. No idea what's up with him but he's looked really off this last month or so.

The wide forwards are staying in some odd positions, really wide and deep and static, leaving Gakpo stuck on his own.

Lacking in pace and physicality across the pitch but that's to be expected with a team of youngsters, no reason to switch things up.

[disgraced cake]

Expected no better given the heavily changed nature of the team, can't really say anyone has stood out for the right reasons. Gakpo's been anonymous again and it's not really happened for the lads out wide either. Weak in midfield and do look like conceding goals to a side who with due respect, look Championship level.

Maybe that's quite harsh but I've enjoyed watching a dead rubber you wouldn't usually get. Would take a couple first teamers off now.

[Original]

Is there anything more infuriating to watching grown men resort to diving and snide shithouse tactics against youngsters

[Fromola]

A few seniors not looking arsed at all which you can understand but Jurgen will expect more, you've got to earn the shirt.

[jillcwhomever]

It was definitely offside the first goal that's why we never got the lines and the commentators said they got very little at all, which always makes me suspicious.

[Paul_h]

good experience for the young lads, whatever the outcome.

would throw Nunez on, as he needs goals to improve confidence..

[Pistolero]

Very thin gruel ...and their first was fuckin way offside - but you come to expect that these days.......what's pissing me off the most is the difference in tone between the way these BT c*nts covered the Manc and Newcastle games - and this game tonight - absolute polar opposites

[marmite]

yeah where are those lines that looked off side for sure .... these kids need these types of games so im fine with that

[naYoRHa2b]

Massively disjointed which was obvious but a lot of mistakes from players losing possession like Jones and Endo. Klopp needs to tell Bradley to reign it in down that right side, unless he's been told to play like that then I feel even more sorry for him.

But yeah no injuries is a result at this point.

[OkieRedman]

Looked a mile off...

Kelleher was having a great match until letting in that soft one. Looked to have is positioning all wrong and was slow to get back on his line.

What do you do if you are Klopp? They will keep coming forward as they need to over turn their poor GD.

[jillcwhomever]

Seniors not looking arsed at all which you can understand but Jurgen will expect more.

The seniors need to be more supportive of the younger players though, that's not good enough.

[mobydick]

Endo having some difficulties keeping the ball. We're a bit ponderous altogether, probably to be expected. First goal offside methinks.

[[new username under construction]]

I mean sack Klopp!!!! We're never winning the world cup with this team

[Father Ted]

Mostly crap, although it’s a meaningless game and a team full of kids so not too bothered. Be nice to see a coherent attack at some stage.

[Funky_Gibbons]

I bet it turns out that VAR didn’t have the right angle on the first goal.

[Higgins79]

Feel for the kids, the experienced players have let them down there. Especially Jones and Gakpo, so poor in possession. Gordon has looked really sharp.

[Vegeta]

Thank God Allison is back, Kelleher is pretty much a training cone at this point.

[MD1990]

Older more experienced players like Gakpo,Jones and Endo poor
Keller not great for the 2nd goal as well

[classycarra]

Love the quansah goal. We all know he's technically good, and could easily put in that first touch anywhere and a decent shot. But to have the awareness, in a busy box during a set piece, and presence of mind to know he had room to control it really demonstrates he's a player who's got a got picture of his surroundings (to go with his quality with the ball). so excited by him

not much to read into the general not good performance otherwise, particularly the inexperienced guys, except there's senior players involved in both goals who don't cover themselves in glory. distinct lack of nous for the second one especially.
