Good result for my beloved LFC, very close to the tie being over imo. I can’t see them scoring 3 at Anfield.
Kabak looked good tonight, if we can get Fabinho in at CB with him it’ll mean Henderson can go into midfield with Thiago, we might be in business. Jota is back in a couple of weeks too, we’ve missed him a lot, he was scoring lots of goals before he got injured months ago.
Elsewhere the Mbappe show in the Nou Camp. Game over Barcelona!
Man you said what was on my mind about Jota last night going to bed (I know, I actually sleep well or badly depending on how we performed on the night haha) -- we actually managed to deal quite well with our defensive crisis, it was just our regular front three getting tired that was the problem. Jota there really mixed things up and I still look back on the game against Midtylland and not Everton (where we lost VVD) as the turning point.
What we sorely need is Hendo/Fab back at their preferred roles -- they've been awesome in CB but we just need defenders who think and play like defenders haha.
P.S. I never really saw Upamaneco play properly even though he was supposedly on our radar, but I think he wouldn't fit in our team -- physical for sure, but not tactical like VVD I'd say.
