Scrapped. Well done. Bit of story of season and serious questions on fitness but we had milner back from injury, Phillips who hardly plays, keita who only gets 30mins since been back, jones as well. We did well pushing and pressing but in the end that's what we wanted to see so have to be happy. The goal really was a flog by their keeper. Elliott spotted it well.
Unlike some i'm with Mito in thinking Keita was fine tonight though ran out of steam late on . We at least were lively and had some decent performances from back ups with the only major disappointment for me being Carvalho who did his chances of future first team selections no good at all .
Bajcetic, Elliott and Gomez deserve to start this weekend. If Amatuer-Treacle-Running-Federation player Fabiniho starts ahead of Bajcetic it will be a travesty. A good, professional performance from an inexperienced and young (bar Milner) team.
A great improvement in performance. Most welcome and we had more desire to win this game. Wolves were poor and hardly threatened until the last 10-15 minutes. They couldn’t have made it more obvious that this tournament wasn’t their priority. But that’s not our problem. But the real test would be this weekend in the premiership.
Much better attitude, plenty of fight on display today (bar Salah and Jones who both bottled several challenges after coming on). We ****ing wanted it!!!
Much better midfield performance. If Klopp truly believes in meritocracy, then Henderson does not come back into this team. Thiago with bajetic and Naby had such good balance, the ability to retain possession under pressure and apply pressure. two out of those 3 need to be starting every game now
We made it a lot more harder for them to create because we finally had some structure. They were clearly up for it in the first game.
Good win. Against Chelsea I would like to see us start with Doak and Nunez, assuming latter is fit. Have Salah on the bench. I also would like to see Elliott and Bajcetic start with Thiago and Hendo in midfield a good mix of young legs and experience. Milner at RB with TAA on the bench and Robbo back on the left
not if it means breaking them and in Keitas case he won't be used as first choice unless forced by circumstances as he is off in the summer. Bajcetic needs to be given more game time but we don't want to push him too hard too early so 60-70 mins next match comes on as sub strikes me as the way for him.
