    Bobby rarely starts now though so wasn't really counting him. Was thinking of Salah, Diaz, Jota & Nunez

    In Diaz's case, I'll clarify that I'm talking in an attacking sense. He's very much a team player out of possession

    I actually think Salah’s form has dropped because he’s not being as selfish personally. He’s got his head up and looks to play the ball too quickly at times

    Could be but equally it could be lacknof the right kind of postion to run from.

    Same as Diaz, who is working like a dog for us, he's not really getting to get a good running a channel





    But I suppose :) not every side has a full back like trent to let them run :bandit:

    Great result just when needed. We keep getting spectacular last minute winners. I love it when we win, obviously, but I'm always pleased for the match going fans with a win like this. For me it means they get full value for their money.

    Special thanks to Thiago and Diaz, I'm all for commitment, energy and drive wrapped up in flair.

    Just to add, I think Elliott has gone from being Salah's foil, so to speak, to playing in Salah's spaces. It's confusing to watch so I can only imagine that it's confusing Salah himself judging from his recent goal/assist return.

    Relying on last minute goals isn't exactly a convincing win.We need to get these games wrapped up earlier.

    A win is a win is a win. 9-0 gives the fans value for money. Exciting last minute winners give the fans value for money. My point, on this occasion, was about fans in the ground - that's all. After the poor run we've been on and the calls from some about refunding the travelling fans who went to Naples, it was great to see them rewarded with an exciting winner. It could have been a 1-0 win, goal in 5th minute with the points sewn up early but the way this game panned out was far more exciting. And no, I'm not advocating depending on late goals for wins is desirable.

    1 goal in 5 th minute wouldn't have the game sewn up though, especially the way we're playing at the moment.

    We scored a reasonably early goal, could have gone 2-0 for sure after Diaz fired wide not to.mention a couple set piece headers and then we basically threw.is all in the bin with a very basic error

    We then fought and tried and get set prices and had a few shots like jota and Diaz.

    Obviously while the game is in play the points aren't sewn up in the 5th minute. I was meaning in retrospect.

    Off topic - have you done any good carvings lately?

    (It was you who did one for Klopp wasn't it?)

    I don't watch much TV but I was watching a programme earlier and during the break there was an advert for a new programme that's starting soon called Britain's Best Woodworker. I'm presuming it's going to be like the Bake Off thing. Will you be watching? <laugh>
