Was really impressed with that performance. Controlled, confident and never looked like we wouldn't take all three points.
If Salah had been a little less selfish today, this would have been five or six and I reckon he would have got the goal he so clearly craved. Mane and Firmino were imperious, the latter pulling off a couple of filthy tricks and Sadio is relentless.
Our much maligned midfield was magnificent as well, Henderson was everywhere, Fabinho and Wijnaldum doing a lot of work that usually doesn't get praised and kept that ball moving.
As for our back line, Adrian has quickly bedded in, clearly a number 2, but couldn't fault him today. Van Dijk is monster, our two full backs were just too good today, both so aware of the game around them and as for Matip, my choice for MotM today, deceptively quick, an eye for a pass, he was awesome today. Gomez has been thrown a gauntlet and it'll be interesting to see where and when he gets game time. And I've said it before, George Graham has chucked away his Viagra, when he needs wood he just watches our back four spring the offside trap.
