This statement was obviously in response to a supporter chant about Romelu Lukaku that has been deemed offensive and racist by Kick It Out, a group that combats discrimination in football.

Cutler went of 24/33 for 230 yards passing and a touchdown with no interceptions.

Jurgen Klopp no doubt wishes he had found some way to properly address his center backs this past summer transfer window. The Liverpool Manager expressed his disgust with defense, for conceding bad goals after the Reds were eliminated from the League Cup in the third round, at the hands of Leicester City 2-0.
Liverpool overall dominated the game actually, as they owned possession 70%-30%, and generated 21 shots. However, they just couldn’t finish their chances and the central defense was a sieve.
