Can't think of a more thrilling 0-0 draw. Slightly frustrated we didn't capitalize on their mistakes/our chances in the first half (and late second half), and slightly relieved we survived their good chances. Overall, I think we've made a great start to the season. Defense looks as good as it's been under Brendan, and hopefully we won't be lacking goals for yet another season.
Migs: Great performance, no complaints at all for me. Looking one of the best in the league right now, 3/3 clean sheets.
Clyne: Love this guy. Made a mistake letting Ramsey run in behind for their (goal), but other than that he's a small statured beast.
Skrtel: Threw everything he had at that game,& we needed it all.Love the intensity in the 2nd half, has been one of my favorites last few seasons.
Lovren: Couldn't have predicted his start to this season. He's been very solid, like the defender we thought we were buying last summer.
Gomez: What a find, what a gem. Can't believe he's 18. Doesn't offer us too much forward, but worth everything defending. He'll be a stud for us.
Lucas: A tad rusty, but he's exactly what we needed in this game. Could see Hendo or Can losing time if he continues w/ efforts like this.
Milner: You can just tell when a guy gives anything & everything to a team, and he has done that every game so far. It's infectious.
Can: Thought he started out very, very rough. But grew into the game, and hopefully grows into the season as he did last year.
Firmino: Not sure what to think of him yet. Moments of good things, but doesn't dazzle you like Couts does. Needs more time, which he'll get.
Couts: My MOTM, as he's everything to us offensively. Pay this guy his $ so he doesn't leave us after a sensational year.
Benteke: Beast. What a beast. Also showing us other sides of his game as well. Wish he'd look to shoot a tad more, but happy with him so far.
Ibe: Disappointing start to the season for me. He's young, but those comparing to Sterling need to check that. He has potential, but we need to see more.
Rossiter: What a feeling it had to be for him. Got turned inside out a few times, but you can see glimpses of what he *could* be. Reminds you a tad of Stevie at that age.
Moreno: Love the energy he brings, and could see him playing on that wing a lot actually. However, his break could have won us the game if he actually had his head up and made the proper pass.
Onward and upward, keep the defensive momentum going and let's get a goal or two at home against West Ham. Exciting times again!
