Really professional so far but I'm tense as fuck. I think you can see what Karius could offer in this half - we've had to use Mignolet as an outlet quite often and, whenever we do, that's the end of the move - he's done nothing wrong, he's come out aggressively, claimed the ball very well from crosses and corners, but he's just not able to act as an extra outfield player in the way that Karius can.
Firmino's been frustrating - incredible workrate, as ever, but a few really brain numbing moments with that failure to control (very minor), the inability to lay off to Lallana (a little less minor but still minor) and the give away straight to De Bruyne (definitely not minor).
Tactically we've been brilliant but my bum will be squeaky if we don't get another. City have enough quality that, no matter how well we shout them out, they only need half a sniff to score, which is why I found that Firmino give away frustrating. Feels like perhaps we could sometimes keep possession a bit better too, slow the game down a bit.
Very minor quibbles though. It's been impressive, no doubt.
