initial reaction was a feeling of relief. Klopp has them playing as a team, they retain possession well and have patience. Stones and Laporte were put to the test, on the deck and in the air, and passed with flying colours.
Totally different to what normally they face against teams that rely on counter-attacks, but coped with a much-hyped attack comfortably enough. Bodes well for europe, imo. Bernado looking the bargain of the century, so versatile and athletic, Kun ran his socks off, his namesake dragged the dippers defence out of position despite being heavily marked, and chased and harried like a much younger man. "Neutrals" (rags and chavs mainly) have been active on social media with "zzzz" and the like, boring, dull etc. Well fukem, to me it was a battle between two teams determined not to concede, in a tactical and absorbing game. I have seen matches featuring 4 and 5 goals that offered a lot less in footballing terms.
Post-christmas league table will show which squads have the stamina to challenge the champs ......
