Reflecting on yesterdays game, although I thought we gave them a little too much respect and dropped a few yards too deep, I thought we looked a lot more secure and organised throughout the team. It would of been interesting to see what the result would of been had Christensen not been sent off which was a shame.
I think we need to accept that at the moment, Liverpool are just a level above us right now, they have a very settled team and have added quality to it little by little. I think we can definitely get to that level, but it needs time and patience, i'm already seeing posts about Lampard out, this player out, that player out. We just have to look at Liverpool and Klopp as an example of how long it can take for a managers plan to work.
On player performances, I thought James did well against one of the best wingers in Mane, kept him relatively quiet when we had 11 on the pitch which is tough to do. Kante was excellent as usual, bizarre that some want him sold! Werner was busy all game and a threat at times, Kai had some nice touches, be nice to see him in a more central role once we get some players fit again.
Few more weeks and everyone will be back available for selection which will be exciting.
On to Wednesday!
