F**k me, where do I begin?
That was heavy metal football, wow. We tore them apart from start to finish!
Each performance deserves a mention, that was easily our best game of the season and what a perfect time to have it, this could be the catalyst and the boost the players need to get us over the line.
Let me stop rambling, Milner, what a performance, i will be honest i wasn't sure if having him in was a good move from Klopp, i wanted Naby to play so badly, but Milner was exceptional, though many others could have got it, i voted for him as my man of the match. He was everywhere, filling in at LB, filling in at RB at one point i thought he was going to cover for Salah up front haha.
Trent was a close second to man of the match for me, he was also exceptional every pass/cross of his today was sublime, the difference it makes having him out on that right hand side is clear as day. His delivery was great and he provided so much width and space for the rest of the team.
Mane & Van Dijk also could be argued to be MOTM as well, Sadio was exceptional today like Milner he was all over the shop, think he really enjoyed playing most of his time down the middle though, leading to two very well taken finishes. Virgil was hungry for that third at the end weren't he, hopefully those two goals will be a sign of whats to come from set peices.
Salah & Origi need shout outs to, both were relentless but in different areas, Salah was relentless in the sense that he was determined to get at players and make something happen, you could tell he really wanted to score and the team wanted to help also but more than that he showed moments of real class, he played a couple of messi'esque passes to players on the overlap, it was beautiful to watch. Origi was relentless in the sense that he worked so hard for the team and pressed at every opportunity, he was smart in some of the runs and dribbles he made and his industrious performance was re-warded by him scoring a trademark goal coming in from the left.
If i carry on i will end up writing a dissertation piece, all in all exactly what we needed, up the F***ing reds!
