Great weekend for sport generally, bar citeh winning. BS beaten, Warrington won the rugby final, We won. United got beaten. Spurs got beaten. We beat the ****ing convicts <laugh>
 
Like Klopp said the system by Arsenal caught us by surprise and the addition of Pepe who is an unknown quantity. I think they benefited from this combination about once (not including Henderson's mistake) and then 2nd half we came out and controlled the game even more.
 
Nicolas Pepe was the first player to dribble past Virgil van Dijk in 50 games credit to him<applause>.

I don't really give a **** about this dribbled passed stat, means nothing in reality. I'd rather he got dribbled passed to take the focus away.

However Pepe didn't dribble pass VVD, he knocked the ball beyond him and ran after it!

I thought it was an impressive stat, tbh - but it has to end somewhere. It's not as though it's a major achievement to get past him once a year. To read some of the nonsense on social media you'd think the sky had fallen in.

It is an impressive stat, just like a high pass percentage or a keepers clean sheet record. But in reality, it means very little.
