I thought that was a fantastic win that looks worse on paper than it was in reality. We battered them. They cheated for the first goal and the second we have a flapping moron to blame as per usual. I was very happy with the team, but angry overall thanks to both Simon and the F***ing ref who should not be in charge of any top tier games for a while, horrendous showing.
Simon Mignolet : sh*te isn't he. Made one good reflex save to be fair to him however every keeper at this level makes that save. Everything else is just bottom rung, Championship player at best. Out. 3/10
Joe Gomez : Still think this lad is a good right back and shouldn't be in a hurry to move to centre back. Good showing today. 7/10
Dejan Lovren : Referee really didn't like him. He was being blown up for everything and Wes Morgan rugby tackling people at the other end and nothing given. Thought he was shacky at times had a brain fart near the start but recovered well enough. 6/10
Joel Matip : Very good in the air, thought he did well without settling the world on fire. 7/10
Alberto Moreno : Showed good discipline at times, wasn't always bombing forward and was clearly listening to Klopp and Henderson barking orders at him. Very good on the ball and made loads of tackles I think. Very good showing. 8/10
Emre Can : I thought he was sh*t today. Lost the ball a lot, too many touches, passing was way off in terms of the speed it reached our players. Had a nice shot that hit the post but other than that... Very poor. Couldn't wait to see him subbed, not the best game for him. 5/10
Jordan Henderson : Won the ball back so so so many times either with a tackle or recovering the second ball. Was being hounded by either Vardy or Okazaki and never looked fazed on the ball. Scored the winner with an amazing break from midfield, would like to see him go for those runs more often and let Gini or someone else sit in the 6 role while he breaks because it's an underused aspect of his game. Was absolutely boss, and the goal clearly meant so much to him. Match winning goal. Man of the match. 9/10
Georginio Wijnaldum : He only made 22 passes in the entire game, for a centre midfield player that's so strange. It's hard to give him a rating because he didn't do much at all. He also didn't make any errors so I'd say he was better than Can who was a walking error today. 5.5/10
Philippe Coutinho - Amazing in the first half, beatuiful assist and even better goal. Started to tire in the second, came off at the right time. Can't wait to have him fully fit for the full 90 mins. 9/10
Roberto Firmino - Very quiet for Bobby, I understand he pulls defenders in and out. For example our first goal, Bobby draws out the centre backs (Phils ball was so good he didn't even need to) but that's important and almost always unseen and uncredited. Did his best work off the ball today, can still do better. 6.5/10
Mohammed Salah - Just scores goals doesn't he. Fast, dangerous, makes defenders sh*t themselves when he runs at them both attacking and defending. Really like this lad, was not sure before we signed him but delighted with results so far. Keep it up Mo lad! 8/10
Shout out to Studge too who looked excellent coming off the bench, so happy to see him on the field looking sharp.
I guess after 2 losses the world isn't going to end after all! Who'd have thought it.
