Absolute class from Bobby, mane and Salah   Shame bout the rest today and Klopp leaving oxocube on for 74 mins was almost self sabotage.   But then again, what's he do?  He has to use the sq

So basically, West Ham's former reserve keeper that was signed on a free is of a significantly lower standard than quite possibly the best keeper in the world right now, and our best ever in living me

Toffeeweb: That pass from Firmino to Mane which was offside shows real dissent at Liverpool. Obvious dig at Salah for being selfish. Real trouble now. Both off at Xmas.

He’s just a sad wum.

We played some really nice stuff in that second half. Our 3rd goal was a thing of beauty, it was like Bobby and Mo had entered the Matrix and discovered a new dimension. Mane will get the plaudits but it was a very good team performance imo. Matip was like an extra midfielder bringing the ball out as he does, Robbo had a very good game down the left, Fab and Wijnaldum very good in M/F. Salah played well and Bobby is just  ace, he just makes us tick in an attacking sense and his speed of thought on the ball is mind mindbogglingly good. 

Great start to the weekend, 3 points and top of the league whatever happens, happy times. 

Thank fuck Shär didn't make contact with Mane the dirty bastard, ironic that he himself went off injured later.

By the way, Gabriel Jesus isn’t fit to wipe the skidmarks off Mo or Sadio’s porcelain.

 

Whatever debate there may be about how Big Div compares with him as a squad option, it’s probably time to stop pretending that if we want like-for-like quality on the bench for our top 3 we’re only looking to match City in that regard.

 

Plus, when he’s scored one of the funniest goals in football history and the clincher in a European Cup final in the same season, let me know.

Stroll in the park. Although we were quite sloppy early on, we didn't have to get out of 3rd gear for the whole of that 90 minutes. Just more care in possession and purpose and movement in attack and we'd be all over them. So it proved.

 

Good goal by Willems. Excellent equaliser from Mane. Great hussle and vision from Firmino to win the ball back and set up Mane for his second, which owed a lot to weak goalkeeping from Dubravka who failed to gather the initial ball in. Then Bobby with a touch of the sublime to set up Salah for the clincher. That was just pure sex that one. We could still have scored a hatful even though we weren't in scintillating form.

 

Robbo was unlucky not to score. Trent could have had a couple of goals. Ox showed great energy even if his first touch got away from him at times. Fabinho and Gini were rock solid in midfield. Gini nearly scored a goal-of-the-season contender with a brilliant first touch and deft volley over the keeper and just over the bar.

 

If there is a negative, it's the sluggish way in which we started. We had nearly all of the ball but weren't moving it around quickly enough, or pulling the Newcastle back 9 out of position. Maybe Origi's early knock played its part in that because he didn't look that mobile and able to find space. He should have done better to test the keeper with his headed chance but otherwise he struggled.

 

Origi's knock meant he had to come off early and he was replaced by Bobby. Bobby hit his stride very quickly and his touch, vision and movement were outstanding all afternoon. Some of his link-up play has to be seen to be believed. The only thing missing from his performance was a goal. On song, Bobby is such a great player to watch.

 

5 games, 15 points and a trophy in the bag going into our defence of our European crown. Can't really ask for more than that.
