TERRACE TALK: Liverpool - Don’t let the late Kop frenzy fool you

Klopp said he wasn’t looking for a new goalkeeper. Everyone believed him. Don’t play poker with this guy.

Another home game, another waste of time. Mostly laborious and frustrating, with one up front, always one up front. The same names produce the same antagonism. Benteke got the crosses he supposedly thrives on and did nothing. Milner’s lumbering around the pitch. Two goals conceded from two corners. And Mignolet, well, you weren’t fooled by a late equaliser against West Brom? Really?

This Thursday/ Sunday nonsense is over for a while anyway. Everyone got what they wanted from the Sion match except anyone who had to watch it. Nobody seems to care. It’s accepted now, even by TV companies dispensing fortunes, that with wall-to-wall football comes plenty of zilch.
