Not convinced our play was that stellar, Brum were fucking abject. No pressing at all up the pitch, giving us all the time in the world. Brilliant result for our confidence though.
The thing I'm enjoying about the Return of the King is that we're still going for the throat even when leading. When we get 1-0 up we don't change the way we're playing, we keep trying to boss the game, keep possession and make it 2-0 if possible. Not only do I think that's generally the best way to keep a lead, but it's easily best for morale. It keeps the attitude of the team positive and leads to results like this one, which amps the fans up and means they'll be right behind the team for the next few games. For me Libpool haven't been playing that way for a while before the King got here. Obviously not under owlface, and while we saw that attitude under Rafa sometimes (the 5-0 against Villa at Anfield comes to mind) we were still sitting back and trying to protect 1-0 leads far too often. Long live the King!
