Wow. I am giddy with absolute joy after that performance. You could go through every player and write a good paragraph as to why they were good. Randall was booked after 7 minutes and the way he performed afterwards knowing he was one late challenge away from being sent off was wonderful. Skrtel and Lovren weren't perfect but they were solid enough and both covered our full backs well. Lucas was his usual controlling self, Can was a tank and Allen put in his best performance in 3 years. Origi got 3, Sturridge showed his quality and Lallana was industrious and was a perfect foil for our two pacey forwards.
Ibe came on and scored and set one up and Brad Smith came out of the cold and put in a good cameo that was topped off with an inch-perfect ball for Origi. We were just fucking fantastic tonight, especially so after going a goal down and initially looking sloppy. I cannot wait now for the Newcastle came, it can't come round quick enough. Klopp and his team (and Buvac and Krawietz deserve a lot of credit too) have transformed us. We are confident and attacking and we play hard but we aren't a dirty team, we play fair, competitive football. It's just an amazing turnaround in just a few months. There's a long way to go, we'll have poor or indifferent periods as every team does but we are on the right track to say the least.
Time for a pint!
