We definitely lack real pace. Missing Nunez 😉
You take it 👍
I guess partly understandably given systems and personnel keep changing, we still often have 2 players too close to eachother, or making the same runs.
This i think is impacting our counters.
Nobidy knows where other players should be or how they should break.
Can slot sort that out? Just one of the issues that despite this win, needs fixing, by him.
Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk, speaking to Amazon Prime: "It's a good feeling of winning. Especially in a period we are in, trying to find consistency and something to build on. Hopefully, tonight is one of those performances. It was always going to be tough. We handled the game well. It could have been a 0-0 game in the end but it ended positively for us in the end.
"It doesn't change anything. There's obviously so much noise from the outside world, which is normal when you don't perform. It's deserved as well. We want to improve, we want to be consistent and win games. We're not doing it as much as we like. We have to stick together and be a unit as we have been. That's what Liverpool stands for.
On Mo Salah: "It's difficult but it's a collective difficult situation that we're all in. Between Mo and the club, things are going on and he's not here today, that's the reality. I don't think anything has changed in terms of our focus and determination.
Should Salah apologise? "I'm not the one to speak if someone has to apologise. It's him airing his feelings for the past couple of days. That's something the club has to deal with, obviously, me as well. The focus was there, nothing else changed. He trained as well.
"The reality also is that Mo is going to Africa soon. I've known him for such a long time, we are good friends and have been through highs and lows. We speak and those types of things will stay indoors as it should be. We have to brace ourselves and be against the outside noise.
"The most important thing is that you speak with each other. You have to recover and get back to Brighton already. You have to celebrate good moments and enjoy it otherwise, what's the point of winning? We stay overnight here, we have to sleep well and eat well. We try to never get too high or too low.
On being solid: "Against Leeds for 60 minutes as well but when you don't win and concede easy goals like we have done. We try to find consistency but we know they are very comfortable on the ball. Everyone put a shift in and run so hard. It could have been 0-0 but we take the three points and move on.
On VAR decisions: "It goes so fast so I have no idea if it actually hit his arm. When the ref makes a decision like this, it has to be clear and obvious but they're looking for something that could be there. I don't think it's good for the game."

I only caught the last 30 minutes, but we seemed a lot more solid and composed. Though I thought this against Leeds for an hour. It's going to be a long slog for me to regain any faith in this team, and I still fancy Brighton to do a number on us. They usually turn up against us. In any case, it's a good step in the right direction, though Italian footy is shite and I don't rate this Inter team. Keep it up.
Away? Fuck that!
We're at home. Though I'm not sure that matters all that much at the moment
