    David McQueen:Watford outspent Liverpool this window. Regardless of history, if you don't invest you can't expect to win.

    Pranav Madabhushi‏: Really similar to last night's game. As a gunner, I'm hoping Watford pull an Arsenal and win 4-3.

    LFC Way: Can the Liverpool defence keep a clean sheet for 5 minutes?

    Timewasting from Simon Mignolet. Yellow card.

    Will he get another if he does it again?

    As is stands, Mohamed Salah is the match-winner for Liverpool.

    Philippe who...?

  7. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 86 mins

    Watford 2-3 Liverpool

    Mohamed Salah looks a great proposition for Liverpool and he picks out Sadio Mane.

    The two Africans have combined well today.

    Mane pulls the ball back onto the edge of the box for Georginio Wijnaldum, who scuffs his first-time shot wide.

    That is Salah's last action as he makes way for substitute James Milner.

    Four minutes remaining plus stoppages.

    Again, Mohamed Salah is threatening the Watford goal, but this time Heurelho Gomes beats him to the ball on the edge of the box.

    Speedy stuff from the Watford goalkeeper.

  9. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 80 mins

    First change for Liverpool.

    Divock Origi gets a hug from manager Jurgen Klopp and replaces Roberto Firmino for the final 10 minutes.

    A groan has just gone round Vicarage Road because Watford have another man down and it is Younes Kaboul. Watford have already used their three substitutes.

    We thought last season was blighted with injuries, but we don't want to have to play the last 10 minutes with 10 men.

    Nothing can be done in terms of reinforcements because their hands have been played.

    Watford boss Marco Silva stands on the touchline and shuts his eyes thinking, 'why meeee?'

    His defender Younes Kaboul receives treatment from the physio and jogs back into the action.

    Another injury?? Surely not.

    This time defender Younes Kaboul is stricken for Watford.

    They have already made all three substitutions.

    Liverpool have been more on the front foot since the interval - I was disappointed with them in the first half as they were lacking the energy I'd usually associate with a Jurgen Klopp team.

    But they're now much more of an attacking threat.

  14. CLOSE!published at 77 mins

    Watford 2-3 Liverpool

    Mohamed Salah has scored one, but missed a couple of sitters.

    This time the speedy winger is played in on goal by Sadio Mane.

    The Egyptian bears down on goal, but plonks his right-footed shot into the side netting. Poor.

    Nearly a howler.

    Simon Mignolet shouts "keepers" as a long ball is played forward by Abdoulaye Doucoure.

    Joel Matip ducks and his goalkeeper makes a hash of it, dropping the ball inside the area, but luckily for him no Watford player can get his foot on the end of it.

    Mignolet can gather at the second attempt.

    Honestly, whenever the ball is wide or it's a corner I'm expecting the attacking side to make contact. No defender seems capable of taking the responsibility of picking a man, getting to him, using your body properly and dealing with the threat.

    I used to do team drills all the time under a manager like Toy Pulis at Stoke. We were drilled in how to prevent an attacker taking control of a high ball.

    A defence's priority is to be in control whereas today there's been so much static play, which means defenders stand no chance of winning duels.

    England bowler Steven Finn, sat in the second row next to the dugout, shouts "come on ref" as Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp refuses to give the ball back to the opposition.

    You don't see ungentlemanly conduct like that in cricket, do you?
