It's going to take some doing to get that grinn of off my face, haven't been this happy and excited in quite a while.
Karius: Not much to do, but again good and quick distribution, quick off his line when needed and seems to be growing in confidence game by game. People who know him from Mainz know how good he can be.
Trent-Alexander: Have to admit I was worried before the game. Almost all teams target him and with a quick and good dribbler like Brahimi I didn't see it going down well. Pleasently surprised at how well he did in the 1 vs 1 situations, did brilliantly and solid going forward.
Lovren and Van Dijk: My preferred partnership. I know Lovren has a mistake in him, but I've always defended him and still think he's a good CB. He has all the (physical) attributes to be a top notch CB. A calming influence like Van Dijk next to him might bring the best out of him. Solid performance by the central duo, long may it continue.
Robertson: Thought he went a bit off the boil after the City game, but was back to his best yesterday. Solid at the back and good going forward. Like Klopp said after the game, good to see his crosses are back.
Midfield trio: Henderson still not up to full fitness, bit of an average game by the skipper. Wijnaldum and Milner both did very well. Finally Wijnaldum seems to have been given the freedom to go forward again and it has shown in his last two performances, much better by the Dutchman. What a performance by Milner too. As everyone said, incredible he managed to go get off the pitch without being booked.
Salah: Words can't describe how good this guy is, cool as a cucumber with that second goal, great touch and finish. Worked hard.
Mane: Even when he's not fully on his game, he's a constant threat from all over the pitch, you can not leave him out of your sight or he's gone. Very happy for the lad that he managed to score his hattrick, hopefully he can continue on this path.
Firmino: World-f**king-class. No more needs to be said about this guy. Been banging the Firmino drum for ages, very happy that finally the majority of the fanbase sees what he's all about. Brilliant, absolutely brilliant.
