      Not easy to play against 11 behind the ball for so long. What I can see is that our players have become more mature from game to game. They just don;t give up and kept trying and trying and trying . Very happy with the results after a long international break. Absolutely no complaints at all.

      Slightly disappointed with Hendo.  I thought the foul was unnecessary, they have a long way to go to score. But again, they could score and changed the whole complex of the game and hendo may have saved us. We will never know. But the body language is there. I think hendo knows competition will be intense and he may not get much game time in future and he has perhaps over exerted to prove himself.

      Of course this is all based on body language, but I'm afraid the future doesn't look good for hendo when we still have Ox and Keita. Alison save is a very good and important one and happy that the front 3 doing well and Salah and Bobby scored. Lets keep pace with Man City and make sure that we remain consistent and to wait for City to stumble. They will, it's a matter of time. Very happy also that MU drew and lets see what else is maureen moaning.

      Never saw or managed to read any in game reports.

      Delighted with the win, score and another clean sheet.

      Henderson's red card made him MOTM for me, in hoping some people go into apoplexy. All of his detractors should be delighted as he's going to miss the derby now.

      3-0 away win and still unbeaten.

      What more can you ask for on a Saturday evening eh?

      Missed the game so waiting on MOTD and great to see Firmino back among the goals.

      On a side note we're going to do Guradiolas head totally in this season I think. They're playing outstanding football yet still can't pull away from us.

      Bring it on.

      Why are people still moaning? Our performances are not as easy on the eye, but we're scrapping and coming away with points. (I've not seen the performance today, mind.)

      Three points are three points, and we're consistently coming away with them.

      I'll be back after Match of The Day... Up the three nil, three point away winning Reds!

      I voted Bob MOTM. His movement without the ball looked awesome and he played a part in all 3 goals.

      Robbo just doesn’t quit. His motor is out of this world. Love him

      Lovern is the best 3rd option center halve in the league. He looked good

      Trent looks better going forward. His play in the Fulham game has give him some confidence. 2 goals for club and country.

      Get the F**k in...not the most polished performance but still scored 3 and kept a clean sheet.

      Hendo and Klopp what the F**k? Kloppo should have brought on Fabinho as soon as Jordan finished mouthing off.

      Anyways still unbeaten, we roll on to the Bitters.

      VVD my MOTM. Masterclass display all game. What a Beast.

      If it wasn't Henderson who got those two yellows there wouldn't be anywhere near the amount of talk about it.

      But some folk just get a bit weird when Jordan is concerned.

      I think when Jürgen told us to be angry some got the wrong end of the stick?

      Made up once again to see the Reds win. We hung in there, in the end they couldn't contain us. Grit.

      Pretty much.

      Daft challenge to get himself sent off and deserved a yellow, but those first three fouls were nonsense.

      Watched it back now and Bob was outstanding. Looked so sharp. The whole backline was also superb and gave VVD my MOTM because he just won everything.

      Could’ve given it to Bob, Rob or TAA also.

      Would have taken the ugliest flukiest 1-0 from this one so a (relatively) comfortable 3-0 with the attack looking good is a massive bonus just after international break. Think we’ll bat aside the bitters next week but gives me a lot of confidence we’ll take care of Burnley and Bournemouth afterwards. Say it quietly but it looks like we’re starting to click

      The sending off was a farce. The first foul was actually a foul by the Watford player. The second foul was borderline yellow card. Much has been made of Hendo complaining and moaning over the first yellow. In that instance Henderson made his complaint to the Ref but then carried on mouthing off as Watford were taking the free kick. The Ref then stopped Watford and called Hendo over for another bollocking.

      Then he made another innocuous challenge, and this was near the half way line. It was a foul, not a yellow card offence. Ref could say Hendo was gaining an advantage by preventing a Watford attack, well a bit but the Ref probably still a bit narked at Hendo, produced the Red Card. Farce...avoidable farce.

      Big fan of the 4-2-3-1 formation but feel that the boss isn’t utilizing our front players correctly.
      At the back the system clearly gives us far more defensive resiliency but up front I feel Klopp is picking players in the incorrect positions.
      Salah scored so many goals, created assists and made space for others last season when he was played on the right and could cut into the space opened up by Bobby.
      With Mo upfront it looks like he is being stunted in his potential attacking threat. It’s becomes all about him playing on the shoulder or trying to
      hold the ball up...which is tough for the little fella.
      I would put mo back to the right side, move Bobby back to the pinnacle and have Shaqiri in the number 10 role.
      Honestly feel that selection would get the best out of all of them.

      Hendo made silly challenges a few times. Players can never untalk themselves a yellow, but they can talk themselves off the pitch. I think Henderson pissed the ref off and then gave the ref an excuse to send him off.

      We're playing stuck in third gear but it is enough for now. We just need to win in Paris to qualify.

      Robertson and Trent had a good game. Front three are getting their mojo back.

      We do seem to be a far more balanced team this season, and while we are not playing as well as we can by a long way, we are getting the results.  I keep hearing how well City are playing but at this stage we are still right there with them.

      Robbo's play for the third goal was outstanding when you consider that we were 2 up, down to 10 men and in the last minute.  I think that he is also right in with a shout as our next captain/vice captain - he is everything I want in a Liverpool player.

      Great result against a team who have I think have made one of in not their best top flight start.

      Just thought we could have conceded a late one (I went for 3-1!)

      Agree with this.  Not a fan of him becoming more of a 'target man' - he's looked better this season in passages of play coming in from the wing than being in the middle IMO.

      This fact alone must keep Pep awake at night. How much upside we have compared to City and we're still just one City slip up away from top spot.

      Watched the highlights on MOTD.
      Great free kick from TAA, and though Salah might not be on fire he's getting important goals.
      And good to see Bob nick one.
      Still not at our best but keeping pace with City who look in full flow.
      So what if Hendo got sent off, do we not want someone in there being getting niggly fouls and disrupting play. OK, ideally don't want him to get sent off, but getting digs into Hendo because of it seems over the top given the comfortable win.
      Massive game midweek, need not to loose, looking forward to it :)  this is where we want to be .. up near the top in the PL and playing the best in the CL. Good times :)

      Yes the front three are still not quite right but I feel that Shaq is giving the whole attack more dimension and options, its all moving in the right direction and surely Citeh have to take their foot off the gas at some point.

      If Shaq were to play the 10 role, we wouldn't necessary need a false 9, would we? Someone like a Fowler or Owen, or maybe a Kane or Icardi type... either way, a proper striker (I wonder if Pulisic can be converted :D) would be very interesting vs defensive teams.
