We won't lie...a Liverpool defeat would have suited us. But Thiago and Joel Matip were too good and the kloppout fun has to end.
Liverpool and Jurgen Klopp avoid 18 days of crisis questions by dropping ‘very normal’ playersLiverpool dropped their ‘very normal players’ and brought in Thiago and Joel Matip. Jurgen Klopp was rewarded with a victory that really does not suit us.
Nothing personal, but a crisis club sustains like porridge on a cold day and Liverpool – after that abject defeat to Napoli last week and with their legions of emotional fans – perfectly fitted the bill.
There was no doubt that Liverpool deserved this victory simply for playing with an intensity rarely seen this season, with the only real blip the now-standard loss of concentration from Trent Alexander-Arnold to miss the run that directly led to Ajax’s equaliser. Coming so soon after Mo Salah’s opener, it neatly showcased the very best and very worst of this Liverpool side.
And the key word there is ‘together’ after weeks of watching Diaz and Salah stay too wide to combine with their striker.
