Had the feeling that’d be more of the same tonight as it was in the first game.
Put it in the archive under ‘games to never watch again’.
Still job done, with Lovren, Klavan, Milner, Hendo, Gini, Can, Lallana, Firmino, Mig and Matip (frustratingly) getting the night off.
And more great experience for those younger lads, and more minutes for Joe Gomez, so plenty of positives too.
Was it just me but the ref was just letting them grapple and take little swipes at our boys through the game, but any time one of ours got close, it was free kick.
Ben Woodburn has defo got something about him, thought he stood out above all others tonight, some very nice little moments and touches. Trent has some nice moments too, those 2 really do stand out for me above the other younguns', so far. Although Wilson didn’t look out of place either.
