That is a MASSIVE win. 31 points out of a possible 39 since the Spurs game. 9 wins, 4 draws. Quite the run with all the rotation that we have seen that was supposedly going to cost us a ton of points. Well in gaffer.
About the game. A win is a win, no matter how ugly and I can't remember the last time we ended up on the winning side in a game like this. So, so, so happy. The game was sh*t to watch, but that last 30 minutes showed how determined the lads are and that goal brought out some real passion. Great celebration.
I know we won, but a few (big) negatives for me:
Gomez is nowhere near ready to play CB for us. People need to get that idea out of their heads. He switches off at the very few moments balls actually reach the back post. What's going to happen if he has to deal with multiple crosses a game? Not good enough.
Thought Trent was very poor today too. Good assist and one great shot, but other than that, no composure at all in certain situations, sloppy passing, bad decision making, losing possession in dangerous areas, ...
Solanke, the less said, the better. Not going to rip into a young lad and it's a big learning curve for him, but he has to do better, simple as.
Positives: thought both Klavan and Lovren defended well throughout the game (bar the goal we conceded, poor positioning by Klavan) and they combined for the winning goal. Great celebration for that, loved it.
Chamberlain: keeps silencing his critics and is showing us exactly what he has to offer. Unbelievable workrate this game and he will only get better under Klopp.
Get in lads, I'm over the moon with this win. Keep the pressure on the teams around us.
