That was always going to be a hard game for us. Stevie has settled in well there and the players wanted to reward him with a performance. They were organised and with just a bit more luck could have gone home with a point.
We were dominant throughout and did play well but just not in the final 3rd. Mane was looking for anything but getting nothing. Ox didn't work out today in that role either and Salah had the full focus of their defence. They pretty much smothered him for the game. Delighted we won in the end and I thought it was a pen but given how dominant we were it's a bit disappointing that's what it took to settle it. Not complaining as I knew this would be a tough game for us because it was stevies return.
At one point today it looked like the other two would drop points only to win out late so its important we won ourselves. Hopefully the Chavs are hitting a sticking point and will drop a few over Christmas
Watched it on bein sports and they were also showing the build up to the Arab Cup game featuring Egypt. The amount of Liverpool jerseys was unreal
