Been really impressed with them recently. They don't look out of place in this league, compared to the likes of Burnley and Sheff Utd. 

I also think they're a joy to watch attacking wise. Their defense is a shambles though. It seems many teams nowadays have brain dead CBs, I always spot some awful positioning which I believe has to do with the lack of football intelligence or even just intelligence. 

Luton is way better than Forest and Everton. It's bizarre how Forest manage to get results out of nowhere. Fingers crossed one of them will go down and Luton stays up. Or both Everton and Forest have points deduction and get relegated together.

So what's their excuse for being 1 nil down so far? Have they already put the blame on the beer prices or the quality of the TV screen? 

It's all Harvey Elliott's fault mate. And the injury list. And Luton's 'over-physical' approach. And the ref's fault for allowing that, obviously.

 

The fact that Diaz and Gakpo cost £120m between them is neither here, nor there.

Hardly surprising when they are top of the league and in a three way title race. 

True but in comparision there is a lot  more coverage on Liverpools injuries than Man City when they had a run of injuries.

“There's one phrase which stands — as long as we have 11 we will go for it,” Klopp said. “That's all I can promise.” Liverpool had close to a full lineup of first-teamers sidelined for the Premier League match against Luton, with Klopp needing to draft in a bunch of academy players on Wednesday.

 

Is the headline..... yet they still managed to field 9 full Internationals & the other 2 starters are involved in ENG U21s with Elliott on the verge of a full call up. They also had 4 senior full internationals; Robertson, Tsimikas, Adrian & Konate sat on a bench of 9.
As for the bunch of academy players it was only Jayden Danns who was making his 1st, 1st team appearance & he got just 1 minute.

But plucky Liverpool still managed to wrestle a win from the jaws of defeat by the Premier league powerhouse Luton.

Does make me laugh the academy line - 4 of those players on the bench were pinched from other clubs at 18/19.
