Bah humbug. 2-1 Liverpool.

Story of the game (and worldwide football this weekend) - Long. WTF?

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Never in doubt.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Razza?

I think we can all agree the real winners this weekend are Southampton, Palace and Van Gaal.

[Niall_Quinn]

LOL - Clyne was MOTM at a stroll. Still, this is TV I suppose.

[Master Splinter]

Come on Le Toon!

Sagna not even on the bench.

He didn't leave for money. Honest. He wanted the new challenge of never playing ahead of Zabaleta, Mangala, Kompany and even Clichy.

Provided their gypos and chavs win they'll be happy enough.

He had too much ambition for us so it was always going to be citeh or Blackwater. We're going to miss his laserlike crossing from the right though.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Oh well there are plenty more opportunities for Liverpool to drop points.

Wasn't a good performance from Liverpool but neither was ours yesterday. Grinding out a three point is all that matters on opening day tbh as Man Utd will attest to.

Keeping Sturridge and Sterling fit for most of the season seems absolutly vital if Liverpool want to do anything this year.
