@Killian Phair: defence has improved but still need a CB
More BS and a spaz comment from Klopp. If you keep playing idiot keeper week in week out, then you deserved to be sacked. They had the game in the bag if their “fab4″ were any good but the bottled it again. THIS IS TYPICAL LIVERPOOL BUT THE BLINKERED DON’T SEE IT. Not seeing Brillo Brillo tonight?????? One inept twit called me a ratard!!!!! Whats that? I’m the happy one. I wish you all Happy Holidays! Love this.

@Whatshisname: yup your a ratard. Have a lovely Christmas
@Whatshisname: You say you support Arsenal but here you are only concerned about Liverpool. Why the obsession? Is it jealousy? Thoughts?
Dropping 2 points will live long.. the battle for 4th come May between these two clubs
@Ich bin brendan: man city Chelsea Spurs then Arsenal/pool?
@Graham: united also ? And that’s it I’m afraid . It’s so poor why bother ? They are strangling the game , money , refs , coaches , formations , overhype , no contact etc . Anyway …… happy Christmas , and new year ,
