Glad about the 3 points.
You have to win these "dirty" games, havenĀ“t you.
But to be honest, I was quite disappointed with the quality of the game.
Very few ideas and creativity to crack up that defense probably owed to Coutinho not in the squad and Firmino absent-minded on that day. And Lallana couldnĀ“t fill that gap all on his own.
This shows IMO the necessity of signing one or two more creative offensive midfielders in the next transfer period.
However there were some positives in that game like the good organisation of the whole team, complete game control, fast ball recoveries and the patience to find the small gaps in that defensive cement of the opponent.
My MOTM was Millner who seemed to be everywhere ploughing every inch of the pitch and finally converting the penalty, a role model for his teammates on that day.
LetĀ“s regard that game as another valuable step in the development process of the squad under control of JĆ¼rgen Klopp. It definitly helps a lot to know you can even win games without showing your best possible performance.
And who knows where this process might end this season with only 6 points distance to the top of the table...
