Three points. Clean sheet. Lovely stuff.
Performance wasn’t tip top, but it was good enough. And slowly but surely we are learning to grind out a few results. We have a few tough games coming up but top four is still possible.
Tierney is a bastard. I think Klopp spoke against him, lightly, a while ago. Since then he has reffed loads of our games and doubled down on giving us nothing.
Nice to see Konate back. Rusty, but he got through it.
Jota is easing his way back in after a long lay off with injury too. I thought his goose was cooked and he needed to be subbed at the hour mark, but then about 8 mins later he went on a forceful run, dribbling and committing defenders, and it led to what I thought was a good goal by Nunez. Still, like I said, Tierney is a bastard.
The main thing is Jota had more energy than I thought, and that will have done him the world of good.
Nunez has got game! Pace to burn, decent finish, beats a man with ease, and also has a range of passing. It won’t be long before the world acknowledges his greatness.
I came home from work early to watch that one with my lad, who was unexpectedly off school. Life is crazy and we are all getting pulled in different directions with work and schedules, so that was a precious couple of hours. It was lovely to wheel out the VVD song when that header went in!
I think we have Man Utd, Man City, Chelsea (who are struggling) and Arsenal in the next five games. Bournemouth too.
I haven’t got a clue what this vintage of Liverpool FC will serve up. Wins across the board and a stale draw to Bournemouth?
Who knows, but today we got the job done.
