Sadio seemed to be getting the boo boys going every time he touched the ball. Did I miss something there?

They thought he dived earlier on

Robbo (assist for Bobby aside) has been ****e tonight, nearly as bad as Fabinho

His ability not to get the ball past the first defender (even on corner kicks) is unsurpassed

Cheers mate. I was watching & getting ready to go to work at the same time.

[Fredo]

Definite signs that the front three are playing as a unit again yesterday. One fantastic move between them three, Sadio’s backheel fell to Bobby who should have scored. This would have been a wonder goal.

[Buzzo]

Bobby and Sadio both on 9 goals now. Poor for them, decent compared to most other forwards.

The 35 assists he's provided more than make up for his **** corner taking

2 assists for Robbo last night. 7 for the season joint 13th (same as Trent) for the League assists. Not too shabby.

[Kenneth]

Not very good though. He’s played every game and plays in a team set up for the fullbacks to get forward.

It is a decent return, only 12 players have delivered more in the League. And other than Trent they are all forwards.

That said it is definitely not is best season, but I think there has been more focus on defending, plus Sadio hasnt been the force he normally is meaning space has been limited.

That ball to Salah in the first half deserved better.

You mean the 'lump forward' according to that plonker Redknapp, when trying to draw comparisons between the teams at HT ?

Robbo is just knackered is all. He's still capable of moments of magic in the attack, as we saw the other night, but it's the sloppiness in his game that's affecting him and that for me is purely down to exhaustion, not just with the amount of games, but also being an ever-present in a somewhat misfiring team, especially with Mane off form.
The ever changing CB situation hasn't even allowed Klopp to trust bringing in the Greek lad.

I'd be happy for him to have a rest during the summer so hopefully Scotland will do what Scotland does best, and limit the amount of tournament matches they play.

He’s been up and down in form this season, but his assist stats are certainly impacted by the profligacy of the forwards.

For every assist (which is a good record) he has ploughed the ball into the first defender a dozen times. If he could manage to improve delivery, the amount of assists would double easily

That’s a good point
