However great performance and in particular Robinson I thought he showed Sterling who was boss in some style, brilliant performance from him. The Ox is beginning to come good despite my reservations, great individual goal and assist for Firmino too. He might yet prove a brilliant signing for us. I thought Wijnaldum played the game of his career with us so far too, and Can surpassed himself also. Good too to see Mane and Sallagh on the score sheet. That was a significant statement today in the wake of the Coutinho fiasco, well done Klopp and the lads.


Wasn't I saying that we had enough creative players?


No, it was I.

This was the best performance by a Liverpool side I can remember in a long, long time. Every player was so hungry for the football against city, which was wonderful to see.
The weaknesses are still there, and at 80 minutes the side lost concentration and City totally dominated.

We need to find that hunger every week if we are to win titles.

The more I think about it, the more ok I am with Coutinho being gone. The lad was a joy to watch, one of the most skillful and artful players I have ever seen. But I don't know if he was ever a Klopp player. He was good enough to make Klopp adjust things to make him fit, but I don't think he's the kind of signing Klopp would make himself.

He never had the blood and thunder fight that he expects from his players. He had enough guile going forward to make up for it, but the team seems almost more balanced without him at times. We will miss him against more bus parking sides, but we have a better record with him out of the side this season than with him in it.

Any team would miss coutinho.

The only thing I like is that when he didn't play. The team would have 10 other players trying to make something happen rather than giving it to Phil and hoping he wins the game.

I'd rather him be here than not be here

I would too, but I am at peace with it.
