3 points is great, we're going in the right direction! All this is groundwork, this time next season, with momentum built up and Brendan's bizarreness forgotten, we will be flying!
Milner looked good from high up in the ground, his pressing and running is really clever, he seems to know when to go and when to save his energy (unlike Lallana). Benteke stood about like a big pole on the D, barely moving - very unimpressed with him. Firmino was dreadful, under hitting passes, making bad decisions and looking lost without Coutinho. That's two non descript performances on the bounce, though I'm sure he'll pick up again when his buddy is back.
Sturridge is so, so on a different ability level to Benteke - so good to see him and Henderson back.
