Having watched on recording and thus coming to this late, a small criticism on this thread. It reads like 8 pages of (mostly) moaning and then 4 pages of celebrating our once-in-a-generation team. So much negativity during the actual match. I thought it was a thoroughly competent and professional for most of the way against a team which even after conceding was mainly set up to frustrate us. Yes as Klopp said there are ways to improve, but this was a good night and we never looked like anything but in total control.
A few other points:
Moyes' tactics utterly failed in the end, but to his credit he did bite Frodo's finger off at Mount Doom.
Someone else mentioned it but Robbo was tireless and a warrior tonight, on a night when Trent didn't get much chance to help out with the attack.
Gini and Hendo, once again, immense.
Mo Salah is so important to this team. He, like Bobby, does so much more than score.
Ox started slowly but I was happy to see him score a goal.
Keita I thought played well in his first game back. A lot of good touches and was effective going forward.
Fabinho - at some point you quit blaming rust. He was so important before his injury but tonight he was mostly a liability, with two giveaways that could have been costly. I'm sure he'll get back to good form but at the moment putting him on to help kill off a match seems contradictory.
Curtis Jones - on for five minutes and two killer passes. If Divock can't go Saturday.....just saying...
