Liverpool loses to Watford, Swansea and West Ham draw

Meanwhile, Jamie Redknapp wrote in the Daily Mail: “We’ve all been impressed by Watford’s front two this season but I love watching Ben Watson and Etienne Capoue in the midfield engine room”.

Bogdan still looked jittery and he nearly presented Watford with a third goal when his limp punch hit a team-mate and had to be cleared off the line by Skrtel.

Kicker magazine reported Thursday that the coach blamed team doctor Volker Braun for the latest injury to afflict Franck Ribery. Bayern, however, have maintained their stranglehold on the Bundesliga , winning titles and breaking records in the process.

“It was again an all-round team performance from start to finish against Liverpool”.

Liverpool’s pre-game Snapchat message.

Captain Troy Deeney and strike partner Ighalo were in fine form against Liverpool on Super Sunday and Flores revealed the key to fielding two strikers revolves around challenging both frontmen to drop into a regimented cordon in defence.

“It was a bad start – and really not the best reaction to the start and not the best reaction to the goals”. It’s not easy for the referee to see. “They need to trust me for the ambition we have for them”.

Klopp said: “I know how strong this team can be and it’s my job to help them show it much more often than we have”.

Yet the Spaniard was keen not to get too carried away with his side’s progress. We have to work, so that it’s more on the Man City, Southampton, Chelsea performances.

“We’re just doing our stuff and people have got to be anxious to come here now”.

“They are so well organised and then they have Deeney and Ighalo to give them something extra”.

With the Premier League looking as topsy-turvy as I’ve ever remembered it, I suppose this result makes a whole lot of sense, but that’s far from the whole story and would rob the Hornets of the credit that they so richly deserve.

And although the Hungarian, who was standing in for regular No. 1 Simon Mignolet, claims he was fouled by Ake as he went to grab the loose ball, he accepts that he should have never dropped it in the first place.

Klopp said his players failed to respond to the early mistake from Bogdan, which set the tone for a chastening afternoon: ‘We lost our minds after the first goal, we lost our compact formation, we didn’t play easy when we should have, ‘ said the German.

“That’s what Watford did with the second goal”.

Watford’s second did not reflect well on Martin Skrtel, who seemed to have forced Ighalo wide from Deeney’s pass but allowed him shoot from a wide angle. “But take that West Brom match”.

In the nine games since then, though, Liverpool have amassed only 12 points, exactly the same total that brought about Rodgers’ dismissal.

So Watford continue to confound critics who forecast a grim struggle against relegation following a return to the EPL in May after an eight-year absence.

Nevertheless, he still manages to pull out roughly one better-than-average save a game. In the same time period Watford lost in 5 games. The Welsh team remained 18th in the table on 15 points.

Swansea have been linked with former Argentina coach Marcelo Bielsa, but caretaker manager Alan Curtis does not know when a long-term successor to Monk will arrive. The frustration is we have to work so hard for our goals, but we concede them at the other end so cheaply.
