I’m not sure wether to laugh or cry. If only if only had big Dave been given the job earlier perhaps we might have survived? In retrospect that is we will never know. He’s obviously inexperienced and that will show but as Russell hoult said he’s a leader on and off the pitch. He’s obviously proved that with 3 games two top 6 teams 5pts that’s survival percentages. We can’t really criticise him for his lack of tactical know how which will come with experience. I’d also be wary of handing him the job in the championship it might be better to bring an experienced coach in who’s willing to take BD on as his number 2 so he can keep learning the tactical side. But no mistake BD is wba through and through as much as Cyrillic Regis was and he needs to be offered a part in our future where he can grow and learn hats off big Dave you’re a superstar a legend and have shown some so called experienced heads what wba should have been about from the start. Fight character determination and picking up those precious points

Can we put this into perspective please...... As commentators are rightly saying..... Poor little West Brom fielding their strongest ever team were beaten 2-2 by a severly dilapidated Mighty Liverpool under 5`s nursery class.

Still no recognition...... DD Angry Angry
Ubique.

Fully deserved draw for you guys and a fighting spirit being shown that hasn’t been there for most of the season!!! Might not be enough to keep you up but positive results like this and last weeks will send you into the summer in a much better frame of mind!!!

I'm confused
Just came in a put the latest scores on and see we have already played
I thought it was on TV tomorrow Huh

Anyway delighted with the result although to little to late, just wondered if anyone had seen klippity klopps comments during his after game presser
Talk about disrespectful !! Angry

Some astonishing quotes from Klopp in his post-match presser. Blamed the dry pitch and described West Brom's comeback as "useless" and a "waste of points". #wba

Jurgen Klopp is becoming more British every week that passes by. Moan about the opposition, whine about the referee yada yada yada. I’m surprised he didn’t criticise our tactics defensively which is his usual go to move after his team fail to beat us. Doh

His trauben must be very sour this afternoon.

'That is the easiest thing in the world, if they play football, but if you do it like West Brom the ball is constantly in the air [so] you don't need a wet pitch but that's how it is so we have to deal with that.

'They can do it next year playing football with a dry pitch in the Championship. That's how it is and we have to deal with it.'

I always liked Klopp at Dortmund but now he has become a very classless individual.

Forza Roma on Tuesday.

The improvement since Pardew's departure is obvious.

While a lot of people can point to this meaning that Moore is a mastermind, it could equally mean that he's just okay but Pardew was simply terrible.

The reality is probably somewhere in the middle.

After 3 games, it's still difficult to tell if Moore is tactically astute or not IMO. I didn't really understand moving to 3 at the back, which was even more laughable when Evans didn't compete for the header which lead to their second goal. That said, his changes resulted in a comeback overall, so maybe he saw something that I didn't...

There's a lot of people already championing him for the job, but I believe it's too early. He's been given 6 games as caretaker and so far, we're only half way in. Let's see all 6 games and then analyse him tactically. A couple of away games against bottom half sides could tell us a lot more about him than the United game where we were expected to get nothing.

They were commenting during the game over here about how dry and hard the pitch was. The commentators and those in the studio said they were surprised that it wasn’t watered more and was very dry.

We are the highest ground in the country and the air is always moist in these parts the ground was covered in dew and we have had torrential overnight rain, just because we kept the overhead roof shut I don't see the problem,
At the end of the day I always say, it's the same for both teams Thumb up

Its the same for both teams and its your pitch, if it suits you better to play on a dry, harder pitch, then again thats your choice. I’ve no problem with it, but just wanted to say its not just Klopp who mentioned it.

The pitch was dry for both teams. We made it work for us in our attacking and defensive play. Even with this dry pitch Liverpool still went 2-0 up so it wasn’t a big problem for them. It only became a problem and convenient excuse when we came back into the game. Big Dave made changes and Klopp made changes. Big Dave’s worked, Klopp’s didn’t.

It’s not our fault if he and his team didn’t adapt to what was happening on the pitch.
