CL Inter Milan 1st Leg Build Up

And Fab while he was on…… Hendo superb when he came on. Trent was v frustrating by not stopping crosses

we looked a bit tired but grinded out a great result. Trent and Robbo both struggled, they weren't alone. Tie is over imo.

Trent is at his best when we have the ball and we attack. Can’t fault him when other parts of the team weren’t functioning earlier. They did clearly targeted him though, stopping the channel where he plays.

Can't complain with that. Not at our best but pretty good in defence when needed and the subs worked wonders. I felt Inter tired a bit.

Brilliant Subs by Klopp. 99% of fans will be WTF Fabinho for Hendo......game changer

[S-RED]

That was a hard fought (and very satisfying) win. First half was fine but the second was ropey until we brought Hendo and Diaz on. Henderson was the key I think. CBs were both excellent, having such high quality options there is so refreshing.

**** I am agreeing again with you 🙂

[danperkins]

Bobby linked much better than the starting 3 did.

Thought he gave the ball away too much and his first touch was poor. Was a great header. The difference maker imo was Hendo on and Elliot off who looked a bit lost. Complete control and calm when he came on, passing the ball quickly and driving that midfield.

Starting front 3 were all poor so Bobby coming on was the right idea.

I know I know but sometimes he seems lax…… anyway it’s a great performance. Also Peresic is still excellent

[Norbs]

That was great.

Hendo haters are gonna hate but he recieves the ball constantly from our forward players. They trust him implicitly

[S-RED]

Trent's space was taken by Mo and Harvey TBF, a conundrum the boss has the resolve

[S-RED]

Yep, hendo has struggled but fair play to him came on and was very good and a controlling influence

[Rich]

Inter played well and never really properly got into us.

Konate had a great game. Diaz cameo was impressive again.

Hendo class too when he came on.

Suddenly we’ve got a really deep squad!

Brilliant. Without us being brilliant tonight.

[Fosterbloke]

Is Fabinho injured?

[Buzzo]

What a performance against a really good team

They caused us loads of problems but we dealt with everything reasonably comfortably and took our chances when they came

Awesome

Yeah, I absolutely loved that. A brilliant game with two teams giving absolutely everything,

We weathered the storm (no real chances for them but lots of pressure) and then rope-a-doped them last ten. It is the sort of win that champions deliver seeing off a good team who are throwing everything at you.

Hendo was amazing. Fair play to Klopp, as Fabinho was playing well but when Hendo came on he started keeping us in possession with simple short passes and he and Naby steadied the ship.

Diaz looks phenomenal.

[Buzzo]

Is Fabinho injured?

I think it was tactical. He was breaking up play well but we needed more possession.

Kudos to the manager as it was not the obvious change.

[Irishnev]

Is Fabinho injured?

I doubt it - I think he is managing squad time
