How much is Alisson worth now? That save last night was worth £10m on its own. As for VvD - probably the best defender in the world right now Shaqiri is worth double Keita and Fab are only just being eased into the team now and will improve massively. With regards to transfers, FSG must be loving Klopp right now. He's like a fruit machine that pays out a jackpot every spin!
Get in!! Another win, another clean sheet! Scoreline doesn’t reflect our dominance and we really could have embarrassed them. With that said, we could have easily been knocked out had it not been for the heroics of Alisson! A then world record fee is now looking like money well spent. I’m very supportive of FSG’s ethos of investing in young talent but with Alisson, Salah and VVD - it shows the importance of buying ready made players who are in or close to their prime. You can argue that these 3 are genuine world class players now. The defence was brilliant and special praise to Matip. He was sound defensively but his ability on the ball is special. The dreaded midfield ... was actually good! Their best performance as a trio (mostly in the second half). Henderson deserves credit for his second half performance. I’m not his biggest fan but he’s so much better in a box to box than number 6. Salah is back to his best. When his touch is on point, Firmino is a joy to watch. Mane was so frustrating but at least he was getting in the right positions.
Credit to the scouting team ... they may actually know what they were doing this whole time. But it helps massively when the manager works with them and not against them.
Also - let’s pray that Trent is ok. Also reports that matip went to hospital for a shoulder injury which means we may have to use Lovren during this busy period. On the subject of Lovren, he’s on the pitch for 2 mins and is at fault for the huge Napoli chance at the end. Pathetic defender
Regarding Lovren. With VvD alongside him, we can manage for a few games. Matip is injury prone, Shame really as he's been quality last couple of games.
luv.yez all. ****ing ace. gonna be ****ed tomorrw not really when klopp is so specific about who he wants. Robertson.. fine... gomez was recommendation not from scouts. vvd was klopp salah was too. mane was too. windy was probably. ox was too. in fact Robertson is the only for sure example of a player the scouts brought to klopp and said try this guy.
in short... where is our new coutinho for 9mil or suso.... that's where scouts really earn their crust.
Just read the BBC match report Wtf - they gave Robbo MoM Nothing against Robbo as I like the lad but that was not his best game Not even close Did they watch the game ?
As an after thought, respect to Ancelotti. Napoli really are a decent side and pushed us ( and PSG) all the way in a group of death.
yep, the only thing he was silly saying, was about anfield not bothering him. should know better by now. glad chelsea got rid of him though, quality manager.
I'm still ****ing scared. That **** me to **** up last night. Should've been 5 / 6 - 0. It was like going through my hip replacement all over again, but with more pain
My problem last night was that we had such control over the game, I expected them to score any minute and then us go nuts chasing the game I was creating a tension that just wasn't there it was easy at the end of the day. Yes they had that one chance so I was probably right to be worried but all in all it was a superb controlled performance.
