Llalana, Wiji and Mane were immense and Matip, Klavan, Can and Firmino were fantastic but a quick shout out to
1) Coutinho's deft header in the build-up and then step-over to let the ball through to Firmino for the first. world class and showing signs of really connecting telepathically with Firmino again
2) Firminos setup of Mane for the second and the calm finish
3) Llalanas clever hold up play, but then Gini busting his gut in the 91st minute to get all the way up the pitch to close out the match. you earned that goal through sheer effort

Overall while Mane remained unplayable at times, Lallana was my MOM because he was in almost every attack and yet still tackled back to defend in our box at times. Was involved in almost everything good we did.

Have to also say Can also looked a lot better, and glad to see him having a great game - I suspect at least partially because the midfield stayed tight and he had Gini near him most of the game to cover so didn't get exposed too often. We need to keep it tight vs. Burnley.

Actually Couthino missed the ball which is why Firmino could get the ball.

Can't believe people think Cout's "dummy" was intentional.
