yes VD's price tag is very high but nowadays if u want a quality defender u must be willing to pay. Im sure the price tags of top defenders like Cahill, Otamendi, Walker will come close to VD.

Liverpool definitely need another goalie who is better than Shaky Simon . well certainly Liverpool need reinforcement in the defense department . Now Moreno is also injured . Good thing still got Milner and Klopp will have to use Robertson more now .

Bro some people are just jealous that Liverpool is playing so well at the moment . I have to agree with Ah Gong that the team plays much better without Hendo around . Better to enjoy Coutinho and Can while they are still around . All in all an excellent performance by the team . Could not fault with any of the players . Can picked up another yellow card that means he will face a 1 match suspension . Now for the next game.

If Pool can beat Everton this Sunday than something to cheer about!
All the hard work is gone if they don't get a good result..

[Anfield2017]

Liverpool 7-0 Spartak Moscow

Champions League, Anfield
Wednesday, December 6, 2017

Goals: Coutinho (pen 4′, 15′ & 50′), Firmino (18′) Mane (47′ & 76′), Salah (85′)

Loris Karius (out of 10) – 7

Karius came in for Simon Mignolet, as is always the case in Europe, and it was a very easy night for him.

The German got down well to make a solid early save, but did misjudge one sprint out of his goal and clattered into Gomez, fortunately not to his side’s detriment.

Otherwise, he was as much a spectator as those watching on from all four sides of Anfield.

Joe Gomez – 7.5

Gomez is the more solid right-back option than Trent Alexander-Arnold, and it was another faultless defensive performance by the youngster.

He didn’t make too many attacking forays – he didn’t have to, such was Liverpool’s dominance – and generally cruised through proceedings.

Dejan Lovren – 7

The Croatian’s form has been improved of late, and he will have been happy to come through another game unscathed.

Whenever he was called into action he did his job, especially when it came to aerial battles, and he will see this as another positive step in the right direction.

Received a warm applause when replaced by Alexander-Arnold on the hour mark.

Ragnar Klavan – 7.5

Klavan returned to the team after missing Saturday’s 5-1 win over Brighton & Hove Albion, and it was an extremely straightforward night at the office.

The 32-year-old made one superb block shortly before half-time, and another good one in the second-half, and cut an authoritative figure throughout the evening.

Alberto Moreno – 7

Apart from 16 disastrous minutes against Sevilla in Liverpool’s last Champions League outing, this has been a strong season from Moreno.

He was again impressive against a hapless Spartak Moscow outfit, until injury cruelly ended his night late in the first-half.

Hopefully, a long spell on the sidelines isn’t imminent.

Emre Can – 7.5

Can was preferred to captain Jordan Henderson in the deep-lying midfield role, and he was a dominant figure on a great night at Anfield.

One stupid early tackle earned him a yellow card, which rules him out of the first-leg of Liverpool’s next Champions League game, but he was otherwise imposing in all facets of his game.

Gini Wijnaldum – 7

This was a typical Wijnaldum performance – under-the-radar, sensible but ultimately effective.

While more illustrious names were strutting their stuff in the final third, the 27-year-old was an industrious presence who snapped into tackles, used the ball well and worked his socks off.

Playing much better of late.

Philippe Coutinho – 9.5 (Man of the Match)



It was a proud and memorable evening for the Brazilian, who skippered the Reds in Henderson’s absence and took home the match ball.

His night leading the team got off to the perfect start, as he stroked home an early penalty to ease any nerves inside Anfield. It was Liverpool’s fastest ever home Champions League goal.

Coutinho then finished coolly to get his second of the night soon after, and completed his hat-trick with a deflected effort. He is a player right at the top of his game.

Mohamed Salah – 8.5

Yet again, Salah terrified the life out of the opposition, and he played an integral role in Liverpool cruising to such an overwhelming victory.

The 25-year-old won the penalty that Coutinho converted, played a key part in the captain’s second and got his 18th goal of the season late in the day.

His speed and movement was unstoppable all night.

Sadio Mane – 8.5

Out of Liverpool’s much-lauded ‘Fab Four’, Mane was probably the least effective on the night, yet he was still very impressive.

Some rusty finishing and end product let him down on occasions, but straight after half-time, he rifled a stunning volley into the Kop net.

The Senegalese should only get better after an injury and suspension-blighted campaign – that should be worrying for Everton ahead of Sunday’s Merseyside derby.

Roberto Firmino – 9

What a fantastic footballer.

This was another superb showing from Firmino, who showcased his brilliance at leading the line in his own subtly magnificent way.

He laid-on a beautiful, unselfish assist for Coutinho, got his 13th goal of the campaign with a nice finish and generally made Liverpool tick from the front.

Got a richly-deserved standing ovation when he was substituted.

Starting XI Average Rating – 7.81



Substitutes

James Milner (on for Moreno 45′) – 8

Sent in a great cross just two minutes after the interval, which Mane fired home superbly – and added another two assists before full time! A reliable all-round display, in standard Milner fashion.

Trent Alexander-Arnold (on for Lovren 59′) – 7

The teenager was a lively presence, bringing more attacking quality from right-back than Gomez.

Daniel Sturridge (on for Firmino 71′) – 6.5

Looked a little rusty, but didn’t have a huge amount of time to make an impact.

Ah Gong really don't understand why any of the first team players would still want to leave Liverpool when Liverpool is doing so well ???

Ah gong gong ah,
Let's be honest! Is barca more likely to win the laliga or pool more likely to win the premiership? Do you honestly think we can win it in the next year or two? The top teams in Spain like RM, barca, AM are CL regulars ! Pool is struggling almost every season to get in! Pool is doing fine but not consistently fine! Till now......

In Rafa we trust!

It is simple, Liverpool dun have the quality to win CL or EPL. In modern football, there are not many Steven Gerrard.

[francined69]

At the end of the day it is the financial power behind the teams that attract talented players, coaches n results.

[masterwanker]

Unfortunately Liverpool & FSG don't have the financial power to be successful .

[escobar43535]

Aiyah players come and go, fact of life, deal with it.

Ronaldo left United and even Neymar left Barca.

Actually I don't think money is such a big issue now because of the current mega EPL tv rights deals.

What we need is a better scouting system and a shrewd astute football director(someone like Monchi formerly of Sevilla and now with Roma).

Like that Ah Gong very sad that Liverpool will lose the good players to other clubs .

[LiverpoolClown]

WOW!!! Chelsea have thrown the ball into Liverpool's court. Now 3rd place is for Liverpool to lose. Players must wake up and play with full hunger!!! I think Captain Hendo will be back in the team which is sad. Hopefully the team beats Everton and secure 3 points!!!

YNWA.

[Baigonggong]

Ah Gong that whoever plays will produce another positive result now that Chelsea lost the last game. Ah Gong hopes that Hendo don't pass the side ways or backwards .

[JadeBird]

No Gomez & no Moreno for tonight's game.
Alexandra Trent & James Milner filling in for RB & LB
