Great performance last night. We always get plaudits for our attacking play but I thought we were much better defensively. We’ve had trouble this season with other teams countering and seeming to cut through us either with quick passing or the ball over the top. Whether it’s better discipline or spacing I don’t know but we seem to be much better at cutting off passing lanes. I remember being at the ground for our home draw against Brighton and it’s light and day from that performance.
Obviously the squad is also deeper now with everyone fit and Diaz coming in. While I’m biased i’m much more confident of this team putting the heat on City than I was earlier this season. Klopp and the players have the right attitude though. Forget about the points gap, forget the game at the Emptihad, just win the next game, then the next one, rinse and repeat. You’d expect City to win most games but shit happens in football and we need to make sure they know that if they slip up again, we’ll be right on top of them.
You’re next Burnley.
