South Coast Royal URZZZZ Sanguine Oh and Matip is definitely made of jelly beans. Ankle ligaments this time. FSG surely have to sanction some sort of centre-back signing, even if only a loan - Fabinho apparently likely to miss the West Ham game, where Liverpool will have no choice but to field Phillips and Henderson at the back.
Phillips and Henderson did well last night but reckon they’d struggle against Antonio who’s able to cause havoc amongst the best defenders
Reckon they’d even take Caulker back at this rate!
Antonio subbed well before the end and barely had a kick.
If Mo had scored his second goal on a training pitch unmarked it would have merited a small wow.
To do what he did on a windy night, in a match situation, having just sprinted 100 yards it was something else.
City next week could almost be a championship decider between the only two teams who are going to contest the title this season.
Yes, Phillips with another excellent game along with much of the team
Exactly where you need your fringe players to step up, haven’t been a big fan of Jones but he made a good impact off the bench. I felt Origi was taking underserved stick at the break and he did OK and Shaqiri was busy throughout - excellent pass for Salah’s second
Ultimately, Liverpool have to win next week so hopefully it’ll be a good attacking game as opposed to the many conservative big game draws we’ve seen so far this season. Will repeat - seeing a lot of “City have already won the title” comments - but won’t wash over me, a hard few months now after Tuesday (played a lot of the “weaker teams recently - and only narrowly won in some of them)
Really does emphasise the importance of momentum in football as they seem to be back to their clinical ways again, as opposed to their mini winless run where they couldn’t score to save their life. I suppose if they do go on to enjoy a strong second half to the season, they have Dier to thank for letting them break their duck
On a side note, was disappointed with West Ham - a lot of hot potato stuff from them, trying to rush the killer pass - not getting enough bodies forward. They’ve earned well deserved plaudits for most of this season but I found them to be quite poor, even if against a decent side
