Another great win. This team is truly phenomenal. I've almost forgotten what it's like to lose a league game now. Its frightening how good we are.
I expected to see lots of changes today so I was very surprised seeing how strong our line up was. Klopp obviously rates and respects this wolves team and it proved to be the right decision because that was no easy game.
I haven't watched the highlights or gone through the above comments yet but from my memory, the first half was just sheer dominance from us. We had all of the ball and were playing most of the game in their half. We had a couple of good chances but in general I thought wolves defended well, held their shape and stuck to their game plan.
The goal eventually came and where my seat is I was directly online with lallana. I said at the time it hit his chest so when the goal was disallowed I had a feeling VAR would over rule the referees decision and give it, which it did.
Wolves then equalised and again from where I sit it looked like they had a couple of players offside on their right hand side and a lot of our fans were calling for offside (but again I've not seen the replays) so I think the right decision was made? From their point of view it was a good goal but I thought we switched off and it was sloppy from us so a little cause for concern there.
Good half from us though. My only criticism really is I thought we played down the right hand side a bit too much and that we didn't involve Robbo and mane more. Tactics from klopp possibly I'm not sure.
Second half begins and we weren't as dominant. Wolves grew into the game and had a couple of good half chances, especially towards the end. It was a little bit edgey at times but I thought we were professional and saw the game out well.
I gave joe Gomez motm who I thought had a top game and don't remember him putting a foot wrong. When I selected him and saw that he got more than half the votes then it looks like others agree with me too.
Just want to give a mention to Jordan Henderson too. I've been very critical of Jordan ever since he's joined us really but I've got to say in the last 12 months or so he's really grew as a player. The signing of Fabinho has certainly helped him but even with Fabinho out injured at the moment and Jordan slotting back into a deeper role, he's performing much, much better now. I've noticed he no longer plays the safe 5 yard pass backwards or sideways and he looks forward a lot more now and it certainly makes a difference in how we play at times. It wasn't so long ago he was last in my pecking order to play from the midfielders we have, but now he's currently first. He's doing really well and has turned into a leader of late and takes on a lot more responsibility which is all I ever wanted. Well done Jordan keep it up.
I don't usually give a sh*t about other teams and how they get on, but I like wolves. I like how they play, I like their players and I like their manager too. Wish them well for the future.
Anyway, another 3 points towards the title. Go unbeaten lads and bring it home. Up the F***ing mighty reds.
