So good, you posted it 3 times.

{Ed001's Note - not quite sure that was why I did that. Stupidity was probably a lot more to blame for the mistake!}

Nice one Ed particularly like the comments about Mane as he has been getting a bit of stick on here particularly on the live chat. Hope he gets back to last seasons form as we are going to need him between now and the end of the season.

Thanks for the review, it was a solid team performance. I agree about Mane we would improve a lot as a team is only he could produce some of last seasons form. He definitely has the talent.

{Ed001's Note - sorry it took so long. I do think Mane is getting there and it will come good.}

Great read, Ed. The intensity, organization in midfield and desire that were hugely lacking in the past two games, were there on the night. Make no mistake about it, had we mucked about, we may have won the game 2-1 or drawn BUT we respected the opponent, put in a very professional performance, gave them nothing all game and took what we could get and job done.

I also think Karius who had nothing to do BUT a good save from Depoitre, showed authority, command and exuded confidence onto his back line cos you could see that they knew what he would do and were not bothered about passing him the ball or when long balls came thru cos he took over the situations w/ applomb.

Hopefully, the clean sheet will help with his confidence and knowing he's the guy till the end of the season, will make him focus more on just doing his job and the defence can focus on doing theirs. On to Spurs!

{Ed001's Note - was it a good save? I am not sure but we do look much better when he is in goal.}

I do feel for Solanke, I would hope a game like this where we are cruising he would be afforded maybe 20/ 25 mins to actually get stuck in!

He was on for 4 minutes. Won a defensive header from a corner and good pressing but what else can he do in 4 minutes!

Yeah I really wouldn't read much into the Huddersfield game as far as Karius is concerned. As you'd expect we looked a lot more solid with Gomez and Robertson in for TAA and Moreno, and those 2 should be our fullbacks for the big games coming up. For me, Lovren was the better of the CBs and should be given his chance to partner VVD vs Spurs. I'm happy to persist with Karius and hope he puts in some good performances very soon, but on Tuesday that save was nothing special and mistakes did creep in towards the end when we came under even the slightest bit of pressure. The jury is out but he has a lot to prove. A clean sheet against Spurs would be a great start.

I expect Mane to have a blinder against Spuds.

I thought it was, Ed even tho I can see why you are skeptical cos it was right at Karius. I just feel that at least it did not go through him like vs City and we all know Migs has had MASS issues with such shots.

{Ed001's Note - true, it was a save which is something we don't often see.}

TSR - I agree re Solanke. Was saying about 70 mins to get him on. He needs playing time. One thing Klopp does my head in about is his subs.
