Factoid according to opta stats Kun Aguero had zero touches in our box for the 90 minutes he played.

I saw that... thought it was an amazing stat. Klavan has been great filling in for Matip, though on the left. As much as I don't like him, Lovren did good too... Ive always felt he was better on the right, than the left... maybe it has to do with clyne as his fb rather than Moreno/Milner

I'd sit Lovren... I think Klavan has been better in this little stretch.. I also prefer a left footed LCB (though not always)

Ideally, next season, our CB pairing would be Matip and new LCB... Klavan and Lovren would be good backups... or if Gomez progresses, sell Lovren...

edit: I do see Klopp going with this pairing until Matip is fully fit... no chances taken. Even then, if they are the hot hand, Matip may have to wait..

Damn that's impressive... Our defense has really been finding a nice rhythm over the last month or so (outside of Bournemouth obviously).

Really excited to watch what 2017 holds

Our midfield and attack were exhausted yesterday. We don't have a lot of depth in midfield right now. I'm hoping we can get by tomorrow with less energy spent and maybe n early lead and some minutes from youngsters. January is a very busy month.

I have a feeling that the intense minutes will start catching up with some of the guys this month.

Klavan is steady and to me - his one on one defending (other than the YC) was immense yesterday.

I didn't realistically expect a ton of changes but Jesus Klopp is going for it. Only one change with Hendo being out

I hope we make it without any injuries or else that random Dutch guy's gonna be all "I told you so" on twitter

I have a feeling we will see this a couple times today.

I thought maybe moreno... maybe origi too.. but may as well play Mane, he's gone after this... Im not sure if trusts anyone else in the MF 3 (Grujic/Stewart/Ovie) in the EPL quite yet...

Hendo out ~ 10 days...

If we can get through this match... get the 3 pts... it gives us basically three weeks to get everyone healthy for United..

fricking Mane. One of 10 dumbest things I've seen during a soccer match.

Yet another horrible performance against a team at the bottom of the table.

For all the Jordan Henderson detractors, his absence was huge today.

Might be the worst game I've seen by Firmino since Klopp came on.

Wijnaldum followed up his MotM performance from the last game to not being able to complete a pass today.

Mane giveth, and Mane taketh away.

As good as most of our forwards are with the ball at their feet, sometimes they seem to fall in love with their own brilliance at dribbling rather than make a simple pass.

Horrible performance today.

I just want to see our attackers drive the net with the ball. Never know some defender might just foul you. Instead we get the ball in close its pass pass pass. I do believe we got hosed out of a couple more stoppage time minutes. That Sunderland player was out on his feet.That he was left on is a disgrace. They had a sub left Ffs. Team looked gassed. Gini and can in the first did not impress.
