Let's hope we dont lose this 2-0 again !

pumped up for this idk y

We are playing shite, Should have all 5 of those opportunities.

HT Burton 0-2 Liverpool

Origi ( Mane WC assist )
Firmino ( Clyne assist )

Burton aren't even crossing the half line, They've given up.

We would have won against Burnley with Mane imo

5-0.

I *bleep* love Sadio Mane and Joel Matip. Both of them are great additions. Can't wait for them be 100% and starting every game.

I really like Lovren-Matip as a pairing.

Also, Mané is going to be absolutely crucial for us to have a successful season. He brings such a different element from any other attacker that we have at the moment.

Coutinho and Mane are the only two 100% starters in that front four imo.

I prefer Origi to Sturridge and Firmino up top. And I think Klopp does as well. Firmino is starting up front simply because he had the most preparation over Origi/Sturrige in preseason. Once everyone is match fit we'll see Firmino having to fight with Coutinho/Mane/Sturridge/Origi for a spot which would be difficult for him. As much as I like him he needs to pick up his consistency and work on his weaknesses. He's very productive but in very few flashes. Disappears a lot and is even more inconsistent that Phil.

It's hard to argue his work rate as well because Origi, Mane, and Coutinho all have tremendous work rate and pressing as well.

I can't beleave how important mane is to the team and he has only been here for a month.

At least no hiccups there, amen to that
