AC Milan 1-3 Liverpool: In game and Post Match discussion

Very very good win some.really good performances not sure where they were Sat. Gakpo pushing to start Saturday . Nice rest for Robbo . Expecting a similar result on. Saturday get back on track in league

Get in plus 3 points great performance after the 5 mins start

Leao at the end had me swearing thinking it was in as I got 1-3 in the prediction

What an excellent performance after shipping the early goal. Really impressive.

Gakpo was superb. Big Ibra was excellent. Gravenberch was even better.

This is a decent Milan team, as good as they've had a in a good while. The scoreline doesn't really reflect the dominance of the performance.

Apart from the goal and a wee bit of slackness late on, that was a very good performance. Scored 3 and should have had more. Milan were pretty sh*t but that's not our fault.

Gave Gakpo MOTM, thought he was excellent. Grav pushed him close though, and Dom had a great second half. Good response all round after the weekend.

Get in!

Happy birthday, baas!

Interesting that Slot wanted to start Gakpo on Saturday but he had played two games with Netherlands.

Sleepy start (sounds familiar) but after that we were excellent

Poor start then took control managed the the game well, Jota is a concern thought Szlob had a poor first half improved second half, and Grav outstanding again and the cherry on the cake Everton out after leading

Very good all round effort...key word being effort, and proof that when we put the work in we're a match for anybody. We just wore them down.
 I thought both players coming in Tsimikas and Gakpo played really well, lots of energy and ambition. A 1-3 win away in Europe to any team is a great result and gets rid of that sour taste from the weekend....onwards

Good combative performance. Konate, Graver,Cody all did well. Quiet game again from Mo. Champions league, 3-1 away win. Can't grumble but we're obviously still a work in progress. Still some fine tuning to be done. Good might for Slot, goodnight all round.

There's our answer to Saturday from Arne and the team. Well done lads... YNWA


Grav the gravter = MOTM

Another good result for the bitters. 

Trent locked down Leao tonight

Trent locked down Leao tonight

He was fantastic tonight.

I certainly noticed Trent busting his ass to get back several times from his forward roaming. Really thought he put in a good shift. That's all people can ask of him.

Rodri wears Ryan Gravenberch pyjamas to bed.

Slot: 'A great way to spend my birthday. We have more than 11 players and the ones that came in did well. You wouldn't have said this after five minutes, but after we did well.

"Losing Saturday was a blow and to be 1-0 down early tonight, you are wondering how we react.

"But if you can play so good it is - I won't say a disgrace - unbelievable you lose to Forest at home if you can play like this today.

"I would have played Cody Gakpo on Saturday but he played two games for the national side. Today was more a team display than an individual display."

Meanwhile...

One of my great past times is witnessing Everton go out of the League Cup before we’ve even entered it.

He's right, it wasn't a disgrace to lose to Forest, we have no divine right to win any game...but the team performance was a disgrace. All water under the bridge now of course.

Just wish he'd reign it in with the disparaging remarks about other teams.

Who am I kidding

Never posted during the game, but that was a calm measured performance once we woke up.
Few options for motm and I’ve gone for Cody. Who I wasn’t expecting to put in a performance like it.
Great result all round 👍

Well that was a very nice Birthday pressie for Mr Slot wasn't it 
Bar the first few mins we absolutely bossed that and got better and better as the match went on, a real team performance with all the lads doing their bit.
Not an easy ground to go to but we never panicked and just played our own game and got the result we richly deserved.

So proud, and didn't the travelling Kopites do their bit - superb.

What a great start to our Champions league journey 

Very pleasing win, the perfect response to adversity.

Sloppy first 15mins then once we got the equaliser we took over control, don't think Milan threatened us again until Leao hit the post in stoppage time.

Grav and Szobo both playing the full 90 again, interesting.

Only disappointment was we couldn't get to see Chiesa play more than about 40 seconds.
