Fucking hell - choking on my own cough after that - how tense was that !!!! - fuck off Liverpool !!! - Top of the league and into the knockout stages of the CL !!!!

Salah - great goal
Mane - great misses
Alisson - great save
VVD - Will miss him in next game - but don't worry all -we have world class Lovren.
 
Fucking hell ... what a keeper.

Hopefully Mane saved his hattrick for the Mancs.

Such a great win. Fantastic night.
Lets hope TAA is back this weekend.
 
How we didnt score 3 or 4 in that game Ill never know. We carved them open and missed sitter after sitter. What a result, nobody will want to draw us in the next round.

Only black mark was the suspension for VvD but thats to worry about on another day
 
Alisson has to be signing of the summer so far....

Mane fucking frustrating again with his shooting and passing innaccuracy.... Does my head in!!!
 
Alisson - fucking world class save at the end. Fucking great.

TAA - had some great crosses. on a night when our forwards would have played at say their below average level, he'd have had 3 assists.

VvD - Was that really a yellow? Another towering performance.

Matip - Has he rediscovered the form that made Modo so excited when we signed him? Second commanding performance in a row.

Robbo - OOOOOOH ANDY ANDY!

Milner - really good game.

Hendo - He had a good game, but as Fox and I discussed in the match thread, his confidence is shot and it hurts his ability to trust himself ...

Gini - how many chances did he miss? another great effort from the lad.

Mane - how many chances did he miss? i mean we're lucky we're not paying a heavy price for his wastefulness.

Salah - another key goal but he missed a good chance and his passing around the box was atrocious.

Firmino - worked like a madman, should have had a few assists and if he heads his opportunity on either side of Ospina, it's a goal. Solid game.

Subs:

Keita - nothing wrong.

Fabinho - great aerial presence near the end. He won like 3 headers in a row.

Lovren - he looked totally unsure of himself as a RB ... imagine the head he'd have taken if they scored after he let his man go in the box.
 
I must have been watching a different game because I thought Gini was poor overall, he gave the ball away plenty tonight. Mane .... Jesus H Christ. I love the guy but that was atrocious finishing for the second game on the trot. Firmino gave it away a bit too and Salah was wasteful, three good chances he missed and umpteen attacks foundered on our front three.

Becker, TAA, Matip, VvD, Robbo, Hendo, Milner .. all heroes.
 
We were boss. End of.

That was the most nervous 45 mins in a long time. I’ve just got out the ground and I can’t even be arsed going on the ale. I’m wiped out.

The team was very wasteful in the final 3rd ... No issue with that, but everyone worked their socks off and dominated a top serie A team ... a fair scoreline would have been 6-1 imo.

No you are wrong. Gini had a really good game. That’s live from Anfield that.

Henderson was fabulous 2nd half by the way.

I don't disagree ... but working your socks off when you are an attacker doesn't cover for missing chance after chance. Had we do that against better opposition we'll likely be out.

He lost the ball umpteen times and wildly fucked up his three attempts at goal. Guess we have different definitions of 'a really good game' LoL !

P.S. He was about to be subbed off too .. and I don't think it was because he was tired. He did great at the end though (and I love Gini - I've said before how great he is in possession).
 
Odd game overall.

Salah's one outstanding attacking contribution being the difference. He had a decent game overall and was by far the best of the front three. Whatever about Salah's 17/18 season being impossible to replicate, Firmino looks miles away from replicating his form.

The midfield trio put in a shift - Gini's finishing being the only thing any of them did wrong Henderson had his best game in a while. (Albeit I haven't seen all the games,)

Matip was a good choice at CB, his ability on the ball was helpful against the press. Robertson was excellent bar one nearly crucial fuck up. TAA was good without being great at either end of the pitch.

VVD and Becker are just ridiculous.
 
As good a save as it was at the end, Milik or whatever his name is should've buried that. We really do need to buy another forward in Jan to share the load / provide some competition. The wastefulness - poor passing and finishing - just can't continue like this. There will come a point where we end up paying for it.

Now that that's out the way, it was a good performance on the whole. We worked Napoli into the ground and pretty much did everything right - just let ourselves down in the final third (again).

Let's hope we've got enough left in the tank for the weekend.
 
Very chaotic overall, but thing that you could say worked as Klopp expected is that Napoli tired quickly after trying to go toe-to-toe with us in the beginning. The reason we created so many chances was because they were dead on their feet after 60 minutes or so. But we were also mentally too tired to finish all those chances.
 
Alisson has made us a different proposition completely. Along with his partner in crime big Virge, of course. We were almost incapable of winning 1-0 last season.
