We got the win which was the all important thing.
No doubt there is a lot to be worked though. We were the better team in the first half despite them having the odd moment and the second half we came out on top and looked like we would get a 3rd...probably would have but for another f**k up by the linesman. But then around the hour mark we just fell asleep and they were all over us; we were sloppy with the passing, we weren’t pressing and the fact we let Kante score that goal wasn’t anywhere near good enough. Take nothing away from the strike, but he should never have gotten to the position to have the strike.
Think this is the first time there was some questionable decisions from Klopp this season. Why we put Lallana on when we were under pressure I’m not sure, especially for Hendo who I thought was pretty decent. Lallana hasn’t played all season so far bar the odd minute, so putting him on in a game where we were being pushed onto the back foot didn’t make much sense.
If the game went on much longer I think they would have gotten the 2nd but as it goes, they didn’t and we are now 15 in a row, 5 clear of City again and have a good gap ahead of 3rd down.
Also, what is with us only having boss strikes scored against at the moment? Last week it was the Newcastle guy who never scores and now Kante?!
