What a result that was.
Firstly. I'm buzzing for Amorim that all his decisions delivered - I've been concerned about how things will go for him with his system and I'd, regrettably, drifted a little into the Amorim-out camp, but now I've been brought back a little. I think that, perhaps, the unpredictability and workrate of Cunha up top has, with Mount on the left, added a new dimension to the movement of parts.
Secondly. Fernandes has taken flak for how he performs in a deeper role - I'm not a fan of it per se, but when he can provide a truly world-class contribution like that he can shut me up all over again.
Thirdly. In terms of players criticised, the enigma that is Maguire delivers a timely reminder of his power and purpose.
Lastly. I'm loving the Liverpool meltdown now. Some of them have, rightly, been belly laughing at us for so long, but now what? Isak and Wirtz looking lost, Frimpong looking average, MacAllister and Gravenberch looking ponderous, Slot maybe now realising how good Luiz and Elliott actually were for them, rumours of discontent behind the scenes - oh, how my belly rocks.
More of the same please.

Sorry, Mount up top with Cunha on the left - doh!

I’m not sure why they’ve been laughing at us. They haven’t beaten us at Anfield in over two and a half years.

Redseven they have been laughing at us we finished 16th last season.

Dio. I was joking, although looking at the results between us over the past few years, Liverpool have very little to brag about. Sure, there have been a couple of good thumpings here and there, but they’ve only won five of our last twelve meetings, with us winning four of the other seven.
Obviously, there can be no disputing who’s been the more successful team over that period when it comes to silverware, but they’ve hardly dominated us, like we’ve done to them on multiple occasions over the past few years. We won eight out of ten meetings between 2012 and 2016 and nine out of twelve between 2003 and 2008. That’s what dominance looks like, and the former came during our “banter” era.
