Perfect start to the season yesterday, against a team that are still getting to know each other/there new management.
I don't think any of our starting front 3 looked 100% sharp (don't expect it on first game), but they still came out with 3 goals between the trio which must be frightening for the oppo.
The midfield 3 really need to take the most of the plaudits yesterday though for me, I thought throughout they were fantastic and really complimented each other in all aspects of play.
The back 5 did ok as a unit, Becker will have harder days to come it was a good debut for the lad to break himself into Anfield life. VVD was playing with his slippers on smoking a cigar wasn't he at the back? So assured and in total command of what he's doing out there absolutely love the guy. Andy Robertson was his usual fantastic self, hand on heart my favourite player at the club. I think it's just a combination of where he comes from, his quality and his desire that adheres him to me. My couple of negatives for the game were TAA and Joe, I thought they got caught out a few times positionally and TAA's deliver was very poor with the talent he has.
It's one game however and I'm not going to dwell too much, however thought needs going in can we trust these two in the true top level games, at such an early stage of there career?
How strong did our bench look btw? Karius, Clyne, Fabinho, Hendo, Shaq, Studge & Lallana! Not had that sort of strength waiting in the wings for as far back as I can remember.
Going forward, we've invested well. We've a fit squad (touch wood) barring the Ox. We now need to deliver, we must have silverware at the end of the year and I hope to god it's the PL trophy it's been way too long.
