Brilliant finish.
The lads got so much ability. There's a hell of a lot more to come from him.
And just how did that goal come about? Pressuring and prowling around the defender. That's what we need tomorrow night and hopefully we've been working on that- regardless of whether he's available or not.
This lad is prolly the only one at the moment that can do that naturally in our squad(and to a lesser degree Ings). It's not a slight on the others, it's just the way he plays.
Out of all players on the pitch, defenders(especially Central Defenders incl. the goalie) are the least skilled on the ball and that's why Klopp's pressing at Dortmund was all about pressuring the defenders and not so much the midfielders. His team mostly cut off passing lanes to the midfielders(who are the most skilled of all players on the pitch). You won't easily press midfielders successfully, but defenders can be pressed into all sorts of mistakes and the moment they do- blam! You pounce. Once it becomes clear that your defenders are encircled and will be bombarded the whole of the match(worse- one or both of them, have succumbed to the pressure), the rest of the opposition falls apart. That's your 4-0s right there. You can turn Bayern over, for instance, and rip them wide open with total, sadistic abandon, which is just what Klopp's Dortmund did.
Hope we see that tomorrow. I've got a sneaky suspicion that training's just gotten real this week. A new tactic(to us) is required against Dortmund.
