Now that was a walk in the park and a thoroughly dominant performance rewarded with the goals we've deserved all season imo.
Few mentions because there's too many pluses to go through them all really:
Firmino and Salah are absolutely deadly together, the movement, interchange and same wavelength is a joy to behold. This partnership could really get tasty. The fact Bobby was more than happy to give the goal to Salah just shows what he's like, terrific performance from them both.
Milner, well in lad! That's how you stake a claim for one of our #8 positions, tremendous performance.
Karius, did what he had to do but the clean sheet will do all our defence, him especially the world of good.
Alby! My MotM, thought he was near flawless on the night, a full-back/wing-back performance of pure delight, I loved every minute of it. Dominated them, positionally was absolutely brilliant and gave them nothing.
Jürgen, well in fella. Take a bow at a 7-0 demolition job away from home in the CL, that's how it's bloody done mate!
Now I know these were sh*te, so I'm not going to go over the top but they aren't as bad as we made them look. Credit to our lads for being superb and the Spartak result just shows how decent it actually was to get a draw out there. Some of us said that at the time to a fair amount of derision, well it looks a damn sight more obvious now.
Great to see AOC and Trent get goals too, even though they were either lucky or relatively easy they should both help their confidence. Have to be honest though before that I thought AOC was poor and wasteful and Gini was our worst player by some distance. Should have finished a sublime move but the lad just loses the plot away from home. I'd have no issue whatsoever in dropping him for Jimmy who was superb.
Love it!!
