Gutted for Bradley there, needed to just cover the space and put himself between the man and the goal, he's got nowhere to go. Can see why he has jumped in though. He'll learn from it, he's had a brilliant half other than that

Kelleher redeemed himself, thought his save from the original shot wasn’t great and put Bradley in a difficult position. Great block from Gomez.

We looked comfortable for half an hour, less so after that. Will we make any changes and bring any more of the senior players on do we think?

Tsimikas leapt straight up like fucking Icarus for one header. Must have felt the heat of the stars round his boots

For sure, I mean the attacker was very clever, throws his body in the way, like you say it’s something you learn from.

I can see Jordan getting the last 30 to give Keita a bit of a break and give us a bit more defensive strength.

Norwich seemed like flooding the midfield. Ours can't dictate much when surrounded in midfield. Might be playing through the flanks later in the game.

Yeah it's a lesson that hopefully will stick with him. Helps that we weren't punished from it either.

Norwich players dropping like England forwards and this ref giving them everything. Ox needs to believe in himself.

*Jones looks smooth and assured ...can see him slotting in a long range effort 2nd half

*Made up for Taki, took that really well

*Keita looks like he's still in shock after his goal on Saturday

Kelleher and Jones were the standout players. Ox, don't know what has happened to him. That's below par even considering his low recent standards. Rest of the players were okay. It is understandable to be disjointed. Hopefully we score the second and then take it from there.

Thought Kelleher looked really good last season so nice to see those impressions continue. Could say the same for Jones but less of a surprise there.

Most disappointing thing was how we seemed collectively to take our foot off the gas. Hate it when we give up looking as though we want another. As if it is wrapped up after 35 mins at 1-0. Need a better attitude second half.

As for Morton and Balagizi, I suspect both would make it too youthful and risk throwing the game. Keith has looked quiet, but composed and reasonable positionally. Possible Ox could be subbed to strengthen the side on that showing.

Just a little inexperience from Bradley. He does foul him but even if it wasn't major contact, he still gives the striker the opportunity to go down. Thought he's looked alright in general though, needs to keep his head up and go again

Ox needs to up his game if he wants to get a lot of minutes thus season. It's a real shame but he's looking like a passenger more often than not these days.

Gordon has been very quiet…. A bit more thunder lad!

You're watching some twilight version of the game aren't you?

A young guy needs this sort of challenge to learn. Overall he played ok. He’s a bit too far up the pitch at times for me and that leaves our right very exposed when Norwich counter; I guess Klopp is telling him to press high.

Someone check on Al!

Far as I can see players are passing to Taki fine.

Yeah but its not Mane. Salah. Bobby or the other main men playing, the younger players mustn't have got the memo

Tyler Morton on for Naby

He has to be fair. Good run and shot, good run inside but other than that he's been on the periphery of the game. Pressed nicely to help keep them penned in but he's not taken the game to them like he can

Keita off, Morton on, hope not an injury

Dealt with the 1 on 1 in the box just after really well, so already learning is the lad

Good that the pen was saved, he'd have felt well worse. He'll learn from it, thats the main thing

Hopefully just bringing him off because he’ll be starting this w/e.

Ox, gaining weight?

Come on Ox, would love to see you scoring one. Will be keep supporting our players.

And Kelleher, truly our hero in the first half. ** I was not sure that's considered as a shit penalty or not. Haha.

Seemed weak but spot on, in the middle.
