Liverpool have missed their last six clear-cut chances in the CL (four vs Napoli, two vs Bayern).

I'm happier with James at 10 and Javi at 6

I know Goretzka probably would have started at 10 if he wasn't hurt, but as long as Javi does his job I'd rather have James for his creativity - even though I know he won't work as hard defensively. Thiago and Javi should behind him.


Seems like...

James & Mo both left some quality wanting, today.


Oh, and...

Alaba pocketed Mo.

Mane was able to get alone on Kimmich a couple times in the PA, but Kimmich did a nice job of keeping him wide and narrowing the angle on Neuer.

Honestly, both sets of CBs and the DMs played very well.


James played very well defensively

I think he struggled to create a little bit and it (along with Gnabry in a few instances) kept Lewy from getting the ball at his feet a lot.

It was a really interesting and intense match, though.

I know this: if Robben had been healthy, he would have done far worse things to Robertson than Gnabry did today.


Lots of back and forth for sure.

That's gonna be one tired team facing United. Ugh.
