Just lol at the BT commentator…she has one eye on the Liverpool game and 2 eyes on the spurs game apparently :joy:

Good result, shame about Spurs late winner, looking odds on we’ll get a “big team” in the last 16 now.

An unexpected but very nice win with Firmino MotM for me. :+1:

Very entertaining and very even game, when Darwin came on he caused havoc and could have scored a couple more, Jones man of the match, Tsimikas a close second, much more movement and life in our team, Fabinho all over the place but main thing was performance of the team and a bonus winning 2-0. Onwards and upwards.

And yet do we really want the Leeds of Europe?

Darwin comes on in the 73rd minute, sets up a goal for Salah, puts in another that should be a goal, chins a lad, then decides to smash in Van Dijk header that’s tricking over the line from an offside position, only he isn’t offside after all.

Let’s hear it for the maddest bastard to play footy.

“Big teams” are like spiders.

They’re more scared of us than we are of them.

Not a lot of complaints on that performance tonight.

More life in midfield, and it showed along with a proper physical presence in central defence. Also proper cover for TAA before Milner went off.

I am content.

Who cares , we play better against them.

Good win against a good team. Even if they had nothing to play for, we ended their unbeaten run.

I voted for Kostas and Jones as MotM, ther former for his dedication and the latter was pure class.

Good to have Konate back and to finally see Ramsey in the first team.

As a Liverpool fan, I fear no team in European competitions (errr… maybe Real, they have the sign over us)… but would prefer a nice handy stroll to the final.

Konate was brilliant. And it should be taken into account that Napoli have been smashing in goals for fun and are Europe’s form team. My man of the match.

There is nothing elegant or refined about his game, is there?

but oh how defenders must hate him…

Mad stuff happens around him.

Very solid first half, but stretched second at times but I do think it was the tiring of the front three. Konate showed on about three occasions in a 10 minute spell how we need him to available for us.

Nunez improved the forward line to be expected, only two I was disappointed in where Fabinho and Firmino especially in the second.

To beat a Napoli team that definitely wanted it is a massive bonus and hopefully this is the kind of result Klopp drives into the lads as they deserved it.

After Leeds it’s what we needed

Plus, it will be Februari before we play them, Jota and Diaz should be back by then and perhaps a new and shining midfielder … :sunglasses:
