I like this whole we are playing shitty and still up by 2 goals. Can’t imagine when we start playing somewhat decent.
If anything this reinforces to me that Firmino is the most important player to maximize our style. If he looks off the squad looks off. That said it’s nice to have talent so we aren’t reliant on him to always make things work. Gomez should keep his spot when Lovren returns. Hendo doesn’t work for me right now. Not direct enough. Robbo was a steal.
I enjoyed the karma of Maddison fucking up his marking on Firmino after pulling down VVD on the precious corner.
Alisson doing that and not having us drop points because of it could be better than him getting away with it.
Best thing that could have happened. The goal didn’t cost us points and hopefully now he’ll be a little more careful with the ball.
If anything VVD has looked worse than Gomez these last couple games. Lovren should stay out until 100% because there is no need for him right now.
To me that was partially because Leicester wasn’t afraid of our midfield. They figured out in the 2nd half they could just run past them and press the back line with no concern. Captain Backpass didnt help.
Observations Awesome to get points playing an atrocious game. This could have just easily been a 3-0 game or 2-2 tie. 1. Alison needs to learn that clearing is good when your team is under pressure. 2. That starting midfield combo should never see the field again. 3. Henderson just has no place here much longer. He was a ghost. 4. Worse game for VvD since he has been here. 5. Firming was pretty bad other than the header for a goal. 6. Joe Gomez was man of the match. 7. Klopp needs to make changes earlier when our midfield gets overrun like they did the second part of first half and all second half. On to the next one.
I am really trying to be objective when it comes to Henderson but he’s just not good. Leceister players were just gliding past him and he just immediately gets rid of the ball any time he’s under even the slightest bit of pressure.
