I thought the midfielders were terrific in this game. It's hard for a game to go badly when they all play so well. Can, Wijnaldum and Oxlade-Chamberlain were terrific.
At the back, Matip was quite good and maybe he'll be ok beside someone like VVD. Lovren played well for most of the game and then seemed to go to pieces at the end, especially for that Gundogan goal, what the fuck was that all about? Gomez looks great with the ball at his feet, but when the ball is in the air he acts like a kitten chasing a housefly. Some posters have said that can be coached away, I hope they're right. I'm not sure Karius could do much for the goals, but he looked as nervy as ever, it almost seems cruel of Klopp to play the guy.
Up front, Salah and Firmino were quieter than usual but still managed to be the difference and at key moments were pure class. Mane took his goal well and has good moments but I feel like he makes lots of little mistakes of judgment in every game in terms of where to run, when to run, when to pass, and so on... he also seems to switch off at times, especially when the play is behind him. I want to love the guy but I can't seem to.
Robertson was MOTM for me. I hope he stays injury free and is our left back for the next few years.
