Liverpool 2-1 Ajax: In game and Post Match discussion

We needed someone to step up and get us the win we so badly need - Matip MoM

Between him and Thiago imho, but went for Matip getting the late goal

Gave my MotM to Matip. I thought he was outstanding tonight.

A few could have had it; Thiago (9), Matip (9.1), Tsimikas (8.5), Trent (8.5), Diaz (8.5), that kind of thing.

Matip though; playing the ball out from defence, plus his goal. Outstanding.

Matip is absolutely incredible

3 points, a late winner, and better performance
Delighted.
At the back, TAA better with the ball, though maybe bit lax for the goal.
Matip big improvement on Gomez, got the goal, brought the ball out from the back well, maybe could have have a pop once or twice from the edge of the box
VVD and Kostas fine.
Eliiot, needs to impose himself on a game more, tidy enough but just too safe. 
Thiago biggest difference, really good in first, half, quieter in 2nd but still involved. Fab did OK.
Diaz did fine, maybe faded a bit in spots. Mo bit better but still a way to go.
Impressed with Jota coming in after injury, deserved a goal for the showing.
Nunez thuogh, have been giving him the benefit of the doubt, but he's worrying poor right now, looks slow, poor control and choice of passes, generally just very ordinary.  Needs to seriously sharpen up.
All in all, much better though.
Didn't look like reinvention, just had some players back from injury.
Need more to come back, and form to keep improving.
Relief, 3 pts

Nunez was feeding off scraps, all he was getting was an over hit pass to run on to. Grew into the game and it was his good bit of play that very nearly led to Diaz getting the winner.

Can we just get Thiago to get a good run together he’s just the best we have in that midfield .

Not sure Ajax are much use but we got there in the end.

Massive massive 3 points that a a huge sigh of relief.

We can all enjoy the rest of the week now

Don’t know why Virgil is commenting on ex players criticising, it’s been fully deserved, just concentrate on building from this win.

TRent again left Matip exposed not defending and they like so many now overload the right hand side we have to change  him or we will continue to leak goals

Who is this daft woman on BT?

just thinking Kostas put in some great crosses and corners and also defended really well is it unfair on Trent to ask him to be two players in one. some lippy commentator on BT who I dont know who she is really needs to speak to Trent cause she has all the answers

Not sure Ajax are much use but we got there in the end.

I wasn't overly impressed either and a rampant in form Liverpool would've put them to the sword. As it is we regained just enough to put them away.

Not sure Ajax are much use but we got there in the end.

They are a competent CL side but you need to remember where we are coming from.

they are a very good technical side so a good win which ever way people want to look at it

I’ve gone Matip motm. Always driving forwards trying to make something happen. Could have had a good pop from edge of box but passed it.
Towering header to win it.
Much better performance all round. Well deserved win.
Still more improvement needed as we move on !

Great character shown there reds to keep going until the end. Had the appearance of one of those nights.

Who is this daft woman on BT?

Jürgen needs to phone her she knows every fault we have as a team

Frustrating that when we finally get back to winning ways, and against a solid team, we now have another 3 weeks off.

they are a very good technical side so a good win which ever way people want to look at it

Yeah just not sure they carry the threat of old before United bought all their players. Tadic and Blind were all so rans in the PL and their centre halves barely won a header.

If we were in any shape I think we could put them to the sword big time.

Good result, created a lot of chances and should have won the game earlier.

Thiago is a world class player, always looks like the best player on the pitch. He could be MOM every game he plays, we are lucky to have him and is a joy to watch. We just need to keep him fit 

I gave MOM to Tsimikas. Hard working, good defending and good going forward. Maybe Robbo will need to fight to get his place back.

Matip played well and good goal.

Still some issues on the right side with Trent, Elliot and Salah. We miss Henderson on that side. His work rate and ability to read the game covered a lot of issues. Elliot has got potential and probably has more quality going forward but his defensive work is not as good.

3 points, move on.

Sod all till 1st Oct V Brighton at home...first of 9 games in October...who's idea was this..I mean FFS..

As Walt alluded to above I still have no idea what we are doing on our right hand side with Trent often in the centre forward position and Harvey virtually on Salah’s steps.

A bit worrying because you just know teams better th@n Ajax will absolutely destroy us and even worse it looks like Klopp is persevering with this strange tactic.

Didn't see it.  What did he say?
