Tough match and felt that for the majority of the match, they pressed & beat the press better than we did, but they didn't threaten too much as I thought VVD & Konate were both very good and this was one of our best defensive performances this season.
Think that match was the wrong one to pick Elliott (bit too early for him), but a brave, positive move by Klopp & shows the trust he has in the youngster.
Thing I liked the most were the substitutions; we had fantastic options on the bench (the benefit of a fully fit squad) and all 4 subs made an impact. Bobby with great movement & a superb header for the killer goal, Hendo & Keita were both boss in the middle & Diaz looked so lively & dangerous and should have scored.
Tie over and we can look forward to the QF; the only negative being Jota's injury. Hope he's back soon, but with Mane, Salah, Bobby, Diaz & maybe Harvey at at a push, as options up top, it's all good.
6 months into the season, played 37/38 (not checked) games and we've only lost 2 of them.
2nd in the league (strong outsiders, but still in with a chance if we keep winning), final of the League cup, still in the FA Cup & heading to the quarters of the CL.
What's not to like??!!! Plus I'm in the Kop with my son (his first time in the Kop) on Saturday so life is good
COYR!!!!!!
