Well that was a close one, terrible first half had no control over what was happening what so ever. I think something is up with the defense and Adrian taking too long with the ball at his feet isn't helping settle the teams nerves.
Nevertheless, we were near enough unplayable for the majority of the second half, Mane, Ox and Firmino all standing out, Salah with a couple lovely touches and turns again.
Worryingly once that goal went in, we seemed to lose our nerve again and seemed all over the place.
We really need to be more controlled in our play, unsure as to why we seem so keen on having such a high line at the back, it keeps exposing us once an opposition player gets in behind our midfield, it just takes one pass for them to cut through as we saw today once or twice and several times against Chelsea.
With all of the above being said, what matters is we got the three points and as Klopp put it, this was the biggest banana skin, the fatigue from the Super Cup and the lack of training against good team at home, all that matters is we keep bringing in them lovely 3 points.
Come on you reds!
Oh yeah Mane is world class.
