Kim Jong Un using psychological warfare. Imagine knowing you’re fighting against a group of Booty Warriors that want to take your butt when they get the chance.

Old military tactics

Someone was telling me that Genghis Khan had his soldiers do the same thing, to make the villagers/opposition less likely to fight. They would literally run thru a village. :picard:

Crazy how much momentum matters in professional sports. Since Wijnaldum gave the ball away carelessly 10+ mins ago, Leicester have had most of the impetus in this game. Before that, they couldn't even touch the ball in the Liverpool half.

Leicester always had more of the ball and once they put a true striker on they looked the better team.

Puel mismanaged the game starting Gray as striker. The first half Liverpool had good spells of posession posession but no cutting edge.

Liverpool's schedule will get hectic this month, which is why Klopp didn't play Keita, I understand. But he'll soon realize that playing a midfield with Milner/Henderson/Wijnaldum will provide zero service for Salah. Salah did nothing but chase loose balls today.

Joe Gomez taking advantage of his playing time next to Van Dijk, put in a quality performance today.

Alisson needs to realize this is the PL, enough with the cute chips and turns, players will close down when the ball is at your feet. He almost fukked it up last week.

Overall good job by Liverpool getting max points before Spurs in two weeks. That's when this team will really get tested.

9/15 @ Spurs
9/18 PSG
9/22 Southampton
9/25 Chelsea
9/29 @ Chelsea
10/3 @ Napoli
