Great to see what is without question our best front 6 together again. Coutinho, Firmino and Mane just work together and smart runs from all over the park. Behind them the 3 works with Llalana for creativity/ movement, Gini for control/ passing and Hendo for defence and control. It just works.

Noticable for the first goal Llalana nicked it back high up the pitch, then Firmino dropped to link the play and Mane runs in behind into the space with perfect timing. Second is Mane/ Firmino again nicking the ball up high and Llalana quickly breaking forward into the box in support. Firmino is unquestionably important to making the whole thing work IMO.

Against sides sitting deep I still question the setup and whether we need more cover against the breaks and a more clinical pure CF, but for games like this with bodies spread all over the pitch, our intensity and ability to use Manes pace into the spaces is irresistable.

Think Can and Sturridge must be sweating on their chances of getting back into the starting lineup.

Glad Klopp decided to drop Can in the game. Hope he improve himeself though. I still like him.

The one thing which is clear, Lovren is not the answer to Matip's CB partner. Lucas put in a match winning performance. Pending Lucas's injury, I would be happy to see Lucas keep his place ahead of Lovren.

There is no doubt that we are going to see Klopp ring the changes in defence this coming summer. Whether it be promoting 2 fullbacks from the academy or signing new fullbacks better than what we currently have and most definitely signing another CB on the level of Matip.

Can't see much changes being made to our midfield or to our attack. Sturrdige is likely to go so we probably will see at least one forward being added. Defence is the department which needs to be overhauled. Will also be interesting to see what Klopp decides to do with our GK situation.

3-4 first team quality additions will take our squad to the next level.

Southampton robbed us for Lovren. He was never good enough. Positinally inept. We just have him time after time after time.

Zimbo, I like our post. Vs lesser teams who sit deep, we need to be more precise in our passing, a bit more pace in our movement, make forward runs into the opposition defence which will drag defenders out of position hence, creating space for runners from midfield like Wij and Lallana to run into. That is the way to go. Vs Hull, those opportunities were there to do all the above (watched the game breakdown on Youtube with Matt Holland and Phil Neville) but due to lack of confidence or poor attitude, we kept passing backwards and missing said opportunities. Hopefully, this win has instilled some confidence to allow us to take such chances moving forward.
