Cracking finish for the equaliser.

Great movement for the winner.

Could have had a hat trick.

Klopp has asked for the game to be replayed.

Yup just saw that on the replay.

Grit and determination from him, something a few others could do a bit of.

I suggested we play him instead of weghorst last season. And I'd have given him a go in defence as he's played there for scotland. Just keep him out of midfield. He's terrified there.

Mind boggling how they haven’t noticed.

The next Nat Lofthouse/Sniffer Clarke etc

I liked his post-match interview , deadly serious, no gloating or bravado, a lack of typical clichés. I think he only smiled when he said he was gutted his parents weren't at the game. He also said "I'm a fan." Top Red - I'm pleased for the lad.

Think yesterday might be the making of him finding a role in the squad, chaos football when we’re chasing a win , release Scot McDominate.

Genuinely don’t think he’s a bad squad option in these positions.

People forget you need squad players and different options off the bench.

The days of us using power football to wear down the opposition are gone.

Sometimes we will need extra height upfront or a fit defender

Always felt the further forward he is the better he plays.

Maybe he's been playing out of position all these years. Deserves a run of games to show what he's got a bit further forward now. He doesn't have the right stuff for DM, but if he's prepared to press properly (ie not the Rashford, Martial patented faux close-down), get into the box on the regular and has an eye for a finish who knows?

What have we got to lose at this point, score fewer than zero?

The Scottish Player does seem to be better the less time he has to think.

That touch and finish for the first was outstanding

It was really good technique. I look at other teams and how many players they get into the box; real commitment, real intent. Then I see us in 'dangerous' moments and it's shocking how few we have. It's no surprise we score as rarely as we do. When ten Hag says he doesn't pick based on name or status, he should decide quickly whether he's serious or not, because that's a big part of what killed Ole.

You won't believe what he's just done for scotland against spain

Did he get sunburnt just by standing too close to one of their players?

Goal disallowed

banged a screamer of a free kick into the top corner.

VAR then disallowed it for a non existent foul on the keeper.

more VAR corruption I see.
