Brilliant performance again lads, exactly what was needed to hammer home the Chelsea result. Up to 3rd now and deservedly so, it's becoming expected that we put performances like this out now and that's a lovely feeling.
Karius: Beaten by the only shot on target, perhaps could have done better but it was battered at him so that's being a little harsh maybe. 6
Milner: What a performance by the fella, was night and day from his Burnley game in my opinion, this is the LB we need when on this form. He's stringing performances together and it's looking more and more like a master stroke rather than mistake from Jürgen to play him there. 9
Klavan: Had one shaky moment but other than that he was cool at the back, excellent distribution and strong in the air. Think he's pushing for a starting place to be honest. 7.5
Matip: Silky smooth again, he's exceptional. Don't want to get carried away but he's the best I've seen in the air for us since Sami. 8
Clyne: Thought he was at fault for their goal and needed bailing out by Hendo a few times. 6
Henderson: Really good performance again by Hendo, right on top of his game. Recovering the ball rapidly and positional play out of the top drawer. Think his challenges have really improved and he's more than just getting a foot in now, well in. 8.5
Wijnaldum: Another cool, calm, classy display but he needs to get that ball into the back of the net, not just on target. Had a couple of chances he should have put away but I'm sure they'll come. Really building up a partnership with Hendo. 7.5
Lallana: Thought he was exceptional again, brilliant goal and was a real creative force. Had he made the full 90 there's a good chance he'd have been MotM. 8
Coutinho: Really loved seeing Cou in this form, dropping deeper and pulling the strings is exactly what we need in those tight spaces, has the talent to pick the right pass and seemed much more willing to choose pass over shot when it was the right decision. Should have scored a couple more if we're being fair, especially that one 5 yards out, shocker that. Liked that we managed to kill off Hull the moment they got their goal though, don't think it was as good a strike as some suggested, still it counts all the same. 8.5
Mane: He's relentless, direct and exactly what this team needed. Beautiful goal and deserved it, links very well with Firmino and the pair of them interchange very well indeed on that right hand side. 8.5
Firmino: I'd agree with those who said he had one of his worst games, he was still very, very good though. Created plenty and should be sitting on 3 assists in that game. His movement was top notch and was a large reason why we were recovering the ball so quickly in the first half. 7.5
Sturridge: Good for him to get some game time and made an immediate impact, after a great recovery by Bobby, twinkle toes and won an easy pen for a silly challenge. Personally was glad to see Milly take it, no messing about, he's the best pen taker we have and he slotted it away just like the first one. 6.5
Can: Rusty, needs the minutes. 5
Grujic: Didn't really get involved too much, didn't exactly have too long though. 5
Klopp: Got it spot on and gave some insight perhaps into what he wanted against Burnley. We truly battered Hull from start to finish and it could have been 8 or 9 without anyone complaining. Think he maybe could have given Milly a bit of a rest as he looked knackered near the end, oldest legs in the team and probably putting in the most yards. Let's protect him a little Jürgen when we have the chance. Overall 8/10.
Brilliant win, exactly what we needed and we march on!
