OH when the Reds. We all turned up nervous, worried, doubting. The lads in the bright shirts had other ideas. They put the ball in the goal and discussed their options later. They all say our days are numbered.
Simon Mignolet: 10
A MIGNOLET, A MIGNOLET, A MIGNOLET, A MIGNOLET. CLEAN SHEET AWAY, CLEAN SHEET AWAY, CLEAN SHEET AWAY, CLEAN SHEET AWAY.
Nathaniel Clyne: 8
Lovely cross for the opening goal. Lovely footballer. Lovely lad.
Dejan Lovren: 7
Sound.
Ragnar Klavan: 8
Looks the business all of a sudden. Not conceded since he came on against West Ham. Cool and calm.
James Milner: 6
Was tough for him against the fastest man on earth. Did his best. Passing strangely off, though.
Jordan Henderson: 7
Looked like he talked more. Or maybe I was just watching more. Generally, everyone looked a bit mentally sharper and shouts to the captain for that.
Georginio Wijnaldum: 7
He’s so tough when you watch him close, you know. Try and knock him off the ball. He’ll shove you in the Mersey and skit yer ma.
Adam Lallana: 10
Mad how there are lads knocking about who don’t think he’s our best available player. Only question is whether he gets in centre-mid in our best ever 11. Touch and go, for me. My dad reckons some lad called Souness was alright.
Sadio Mane: 8
Unlucky with one off the post. Can still improve loads, which should scare every team in the league.
Roberto Firmino: 7
Poor first half, terrific second. We need him right now and he delivered big time for us once he got going.
Divock Origi: 8
He’s gonna score forever. He was there loads, though, you know. Just took us a while to get it to him.
SUBS
Lucas Leiva: 6
We all got to sing his song which was nice.
Ovie Ejaria: N/A
Wanted to score. Fair play.
Trent Alexander-Arnold: N/A
Wanted to score. Fair play.

Mane frustrated me tonight….touch was off, and has been for a few weeks now. Still contributed tho.
My thoughts exactly.
Picked a bad one to be in stupid Scotland here lads. Up the luminous reds! Roll on the ev. Gonna piss myself to ensure victory.
Firmino shouldn’t ever be questioned may I add!
Top, Top away performance by the lads – so much needed after the last two results. Stood up to be counted like the men they are. Get in boys.
Lallana – the rich man’s Pogba.
Everything West Ham and Bournemouth should have been and probably almost were. Though Boro seemed to lack fight in the second, or perhaps we were just better. Couple of good saves from him in goal. Assume he is now in until he plays a few dodgy games in a row, so hopefully ’til the seasons end, but likely a few weeks. Forgot how bad it was to loose for a while but now remember how good it is to win. Up the back in control reds.
Fair play Klopp. Boro’s midfield were stifling in the first half and it was a bit of a wrestle with not a whole lot of quality coming out of an overcrowded middle 1/3. As commentators pointed out, in the second, we started using long balls from the back to cut out their midfield completely thereby exploiting Mane’s and Origi’s pace. Completely changed the game.
Divock origi , divock origi , origi , origi .origi , rigi ……. To the tune of Bad Manners ….Lip up fatty , O lip up fatty , fatty regee , regee regee
Come on you Toxic Yellows! Now let’s smash the Ev.
Oh, and Origi is on course to break Vardy’s consecutive goal scoring record, just saying like.
The Ev? No thank you. Blue noses or blue shite.
Prefer Blue slime myself.
Blueshite. Definitely Blushite.
The Bitters.
Welcome back Gibbo. You were missed. Plus it’s nice to see Clyne getting full recognition, finally.
Christ, James Milner is about 25% shoulder.
*Good match ratings and everything.
Another big fat razzberry to every fool on social media who spent the past few years trying to convince anyone who’d listen that Lallana was crap.
But enough of that, I’d love to see the Kop get massively behind Mignolet now just for a laugh. Really make a point of cheering his every move. Wrap up every frustration they’ve ever had with him and take that energy and judo-flip it into encouraging him to become the best keeper in the league. In my heart of hearts, I hope he looks at all the stuff that Karius was doing well and thinks, “Is that what they wanted? Hell, I can do that better than him.” And then does it.
