After rewatching the game, think I need to gush more about Lallana and Lovren.
Lallana was immense, covered so much ground, was implementing the high press to perfection and seemed to be involved in everything, whether directly or taking players with him.
Lovren wasn'tt far off the player he thinks he is last night and thought he was our best defender on the night, that doesn't happen often with VVD in the team.
And again we played within ourselves for portions of the game, good game management, knowing we've got a lot of football this month.
And, as an added bonus, after years of thinking we were a little too nice, we've got a bit of shithousery back in the team, we've got players willing to take a yellow, do the foul that breaks up play, push gamesmanship to the brink, it's giving us an extra few percent in an era of football were minutia matters.
