Hull: Phelan – We must regroup

“I don’t know, we are able to create chances against each team”, Klopp told reporters when asked if Liverpool can be as potent against the “lesser” opposition.

On a Liverpool team that have scored 16 Premier League goals, Sturridge has zero.

However, speaking ahead of Saturday’s game against Hull City, Klopp said: “It is not important what I think”.

Substitute David Meyler’s goal just after the break was followed by a long-range effort from Philippe Coutinho before Milner rounded things off with another penalty. The Cherries stymied Everton in the second half, with the visitors unable to gain any rhythm. “He was not a left full-back in the last season”.

Sadio Mane netted the third goal to seal the fate of the goal. There are several compelling candidates, but according to Saints legend Matt Le Tissier, makeshift left-back James Milner delivered the best performance of the day.

His dismissal added more misery for Hull’s travelling fans as Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool side cruised to victory at Anfield. It’s about the players going out there and enjoying taking on a Liverpool team that looks fantastic at the moment.

Regardless of who is the goalkeeper, Liverpool are still susceptible at the back which might be their Achilles heel in winning the premier league title. Losing top player Andre Ayew to West Ham United meant having to bring in late replacements.

But Jurgen Klopp’s refusal to crown his compatriot, a fellow Mainz graduate, as Liverpool’s number-one stopper appeared all the more evident against Hull.

The pair’s understanding has been one of the reasons behind Liverpool’s emerging success and the England global, who has scored four goals for club and country this season, received a standing ovation when he was replaced in the 69th minute.

That said, I make no apology for my prior criticism of Lallana, or indeed any LFC player.

“Arsenal are a very good passing team, but a lot of their stuff is on front of you”.

South Korean attacking midfielder Son Heung Min scored as brace as Tottenham Hotspur beat Middlesbrough 2-1.

Defoe was back for Sunderland after missing the midweek League Cup win over Queens Park Rangers with a calf strain. It would be nice to have a clean sheet one time in the season.

Jermain Defoe’s double strike in the 39th and 60th minutes at the Stadium of Light put Sunderland manager David Moyes in sight of a much-needed victory.
