Six points over a festive schedule that has seen the teams in the top four (albeit from the annoyingly consistent Spudz ) drop points. We're now level on points with United and the unpredictability of this league is throwing freak results at us every week. The days when the top teams could expect three easy points from the lesser lights of this league are long gone ,and whoever wins this league is going to have to show the same level of conviction in every game .
I'm happy that we're not playing well , but picking up the points ,and I think Klopp has learnt quickly that to climb this league the overall performance is secondary to the importance of getting points on the board.
As for the game I thought our back four were excellent and Lovren and Sakho are developing a real understanding at the back ,its no secret that successful teams are built on the kind of relationship the back four are building. However I think the sad part of tonight's game is its starting to look like the calls from Spain are starting to turn Coutinho's head , his play was bereft of invention and little thought for bringing others into play.
On a brighter note ,all the collative on that field worked their arses off for that result ,and ensured Benteke's strike was the winning goal.
Have a Happy New Year fellas
