Ditto. Looks very assured and confident. Only put one kick straight into touch (and that in their half) and set us up on breaks twice with fast accurate and long throws.

Kelleher's saves at 0:38, 1:10, 2:39
Jone's goal at 1:31
Jone's goal at 1:31
That was among my favourite performances of the season. Kelleher, Williams and Jones all put good to excellent performances, the Williams and Jones celebration was as wholesome as you can get in football,as was the Kelleher Klopp hug at the end. Klopp sprinted to the debutant at the final whistle.
We played smart, disciplined and professional.
Firmino put in some of his best touches in 12 months.
The original front three failed to spark. Mane and Salahs reduced effectiveness is becoming a sight concern.
Nice to see Klopp smile again.
The academy deserves a big pat on the back tonight.

This is nothing about the group stage of the CL, it's our overall gameplay, take the other day - so many advanced positions but never the clear cut moments a Coutinho would be able to provide with a cute pass. It's all bollox mate.
Really good performance overall, and if our front 3 weren't off their game, we'd have smashed them by quite a few goals.
Great debut from the young wee GK.
Neco was solid, I think having Hendo talking to him really helped him (you could hear it a few times).
Matip-Fabinho is a solid CB pairing ... we need them healthy.
Robbo was Robbo.
Hendo is so key to this team too - such a vital cog, and a proper leader who demands the team follows his example.
Gini - solid as ever.
Jones ... CuJo is quite the player. Disciplined player? Check. Phsyical? Yup. Can be an attacking force when not playing defensively? Uh huh. Star in the making.
The front 3 tried hard, but were just wasteful and off ... I guess considering they'll be 'on' at Wolves and we'll pummel them, I'll take it ;-)
The commentators go out of their way to slam Klopp re: the fixtures. Fucking tarts don't mention how the season had no preseason, or how there's more and more injuries ... Klopp is trying to protect his players, and Mourinho, Pep etc all agree .. but "let's take a shot at Klopp" Twats

He booted the ball away far too many times for anyone to say "he's great with his feet". It's not like he was finding a pass.
Basically, he seemed more comfortable booting the ball away with both feet, than Adrian. And his first touch was a little more assured.
He didn't try and be too smart at all and turn a striker closing him. Did the basics of clearing his lines without much fuss. Hopefully he continues to do the same until Alli is back.
I think he's been doing a more reserved job much of the time & that's what been asked of him tbh.
Against Ajax I think Klopp wanted to make it attack v attack cos he knew we'd win that battle so tried to open them up.
The way Ajax played out (or, more often, sideways and back) from the back was nice to watch, and they did it very well, but surely any good striker would love to play against that kind of defence? It only takes one lapse in concentration, one distraction, one mistiming, and it's disaster. I thought we pressed them fairly well, but could have been even sharper, particularly in terms of the keeper while he looked to pass the ball around. You need a beginning, middle and end to such moves, and I thought Ajax got a bit lost at times in the middle.
Ajax made at least 3-4 incredible last ditch tackles which on another day could have resulted in pens, red cards, or both. They often left their CB 1v1 with Mane which was kind of suicidal as well. They did play well overall but if we were abit sharper, or abit luckier on the day, we would have run away with the game much earlier.
Winner takes it all against Leipzig next week.
Fred getting a yellow for a blatant headbutt in the first half, eventually getting sent off for a second yellow.
I think it’s the right call and all those reds for similar are wrong.
He headbutted him
You see tackles do worse damage get off with nothing. It was a brush not a head butt.
It wasnt a brush. He stuck the head in him.
This is more of a headbutt
Agree to disagree then. I'm looking at 1.31 and I'm sticking with headbutt.
They were the better team too, for most of it. Shame.
What did Alisson Becker say to you before the game? We also saw a big hug from Adrian prior to kick-off...
I didn't see Ali yesterday because I think he was gone, but I got a text before the game just to tell me good luck. Adrian was a really great support. He told me, 'I'm with you 100 per cent and supporting you no matter what.' To get that from him was really kind of him.
Lovely support from Adrian.

I'm worried about the fact Alisson was "gone" ... gone to the crematorium probably.
Jesus brought Lazarus back from the dead, so there is always hope...
