Good win considering they had the RB better than Beckham

I try to give pundits a break but Stephen Warnock trying to tell Klopp what to do always makes me chuckle

Great win, frustrating that we could have done that to them in the league as well, but that's over and done with and I'm sure most/all of us would have took a draw and a win against them in the two fixtures.
I don't feel like enough love has been given to Rashford's pass for Greenwood's goal. That was exquisite. Perfectly weighted, just cleared the defender and popped onto his chest. Lovely pass, lovely goal.
I'm loving Cavani too, this guy has to be a regular and has to stay longer. After the goal, notice him talking to Greenwood? I mean, maybe he was just saying "So what the fuck was Tenet about, seriously?" but I doubt it, certainly looked to me like he was coaching and guiding him. Brilliant.
After the Spurs, Palace and Brighton games, who the hell would have thought we'd be 6 points ahead of this lot and just knocked them out the cup? What a mental season.

Fun stat: McTominay completed more passes than Thiago; but somehow he’s still not good enough...

Fun stat: McTominay completed more passes than Thiago; but somehow he’s still not good enough... Another fun stat. In his last 4 games Trent Alexander-Arnold has lost possession of the ball 130 times. And people still think hes better than AWB.

Trent is generally amazing going forward but awful defensively. AWB is sensational as a defender but generally an embarrassment going forwards. Personally I prefer my defenders to defend.

Same but this season hes been found out doing both. In his last 23 crosses hes made 1 successful cross. He offers nothing in defence and very little going forwards. So over hyped and yet AWB doesn't get half the credit he deserves. Wouldn't go as far as saying embarrasing going forwards but its pretty clear where his strengths are.

Think Wan Bissaka is going through a bit of a dip form wise at the minute too so wouldn't be too quick to dive into those comparisons. Did think it would be interesting hearing the media when Liverpool lose form and Alexander-Arnold is being watched more for how he defends.
Actually think Reece James may end up being better than both of them.

There's a lot to enjoy at the moment, it's been a long time coming and long may it continue!
It's very telling how well we put conceding behind us and plow on to win these days, the squad mentality must be strong and Ole has to take some credit for that. This morning when Salah scored his first goal in eleventy games I told my dogs, "don't worry, we've got this" and truly felt we did (not sure they agreed, a bit hard to tell!)

TIL - Robertson should have been booked for unsporting behaviour by screaming at Mason. I wasn't aware of that.

indeed just think he could have been practicing his dance moves for social media with poggers and jlingz 2017 just called. It wants it’s post back. that’s part of my point. the team mentality is definitely changing with Bruno types in the dressing room. two or 3 top players in our well known needed positions and we will be there or there abouts(where other teams just want to get our fixture out of the way)

Robertson making himself look a complete and utter tit doing it just made it even more special. Then he appealed for an offside which got rejected so made himself look an even bigger tit. Marvellous stuff really 😏 To be fair though I'd have booked the cunt just for being a dipper.

what a terrific morning.
great to hear Jenas, Wright, etc giving nothing to us. Jenas saying VDB dived when he went through is a joke, Wright saying Cavani wasnt fouled in the build up to the goal is an even bigger joke.
were on the way back and a couple more top signings could make us league winners again.
Klopp looks a bit lost at the moment and his players probably are burnt out, but thats down to his style. the amount of players he has injured is down to him. you cant play at 100mph for season upon season. it works for a couple of years but you cant sustain that tempo especially in an already crowded season. unlucky ha. thats why no1 comes close to the master Sir Alex.
