Such a pleasing and non nervy game to watch. Robbo back to his best and the left side again looks deadly. Thiago running the show in the middle of the park. Could have been more, but could have easily conceded a couple. Hence, Alisson is one of my MotM. The other two being Jota and Robbo.
Glad Klopp could even rest few of the starters against Everton. Can sit back and relax for tomorrow’s games and hope the correct Manchester clubs win tomorrow.
Something about that performance started to trouble me after we scored the third. It’s not serious but I can certainly sense there might be words from Klopp about better focus in the last third and better communication down the right-hand side.
Fantastic performance.Once we get into a groove like that there are very few teams who can live with us. If we can keep everybody fit now through this crucial part of the season then we should be looking good come the new year. Still desperately worried about Salah and Mané going off to AFCON though , that could yet kill our title chances. Ah well , one game at a time and all that. Let’s enjoy this rich vein of form while we can.
Thiago and Jota joint MOTM. Virgil and Robbo not far behind
Alisson and Robbo joint MOTM. Van Dijk was imperious but not that influential despite the fourth goal. Jota influential without playing that well for long stretches.
Trent and Mo not normally as ineffective as today.
Nice win, with plenty to spare. Able to rest a couple ahead of the derby too, which is nice.
Took our foot off the pedal slightly in the second half, which is understandable, but the one slight downside is that Southampton were able to open us up on occasion, and could easily have had a couple themselves.
Still, 4-0 is excellent, and I think that is 17-18 games on the spin we have score two or more. Love it.
I gave Man of the match to Jota, then Thiago, then Alisson, as he made a couple of good saves when called on. Robertson and Van Dijk could have easily taken second and third in those shouts though.
Onwards and upwards!
Watching to see if Chelsea or Man City drop points now. Unlikely, but you never know.
