The question then beggars why he wasn't played against the filth on the weekend instead of Henderson.

Their pathetic cowardly tactics were a perfect set-up for his long range abilities.

How did Naby play lads? Is he going to make it?

Its because he's not match fit mate. We need players like AOC and Naby to step up if we want to sustain our title challenge.

We needs those sort of strikes at times from our lads. Ox has the confidence we try thise and boy was his 2nd strike sweet. Hope he stays hit.  Great performance from the lads.

I thought he did ok ,asked for the ball ,was involved in much of the passing ,however he didn't show anything out of the usual which he has in his toolbox...This lad is capable of much more.

For that you need Klopp to give them substantial minutes...As long as Klopp goes back to his regular 3 MF you won't see support to our attacking 3.

It was a good win, but at times it wasn't pretty at all especially in the first half, however, it was good to see the likes of OX, Keita and Gomez getting some minutes in the games, rotation of the squad is vital at this stage.

We must beat Spurs on Sunday, and we can not drop another valuable points. 

Good luck lads

Good win. They made it a bit difficult for us in the first half but we had almost no problems in the second. Very glad for Ox getting some minutes and scoring two great goals. We should use him more often, that long range shooting ability of his could come in handy. That said, I wasn't too pleased with both his and Naby's midfield play and I thought them two were the reason why Genk had so many chances in the first half. But I guess that was to be expected, they haven't been playing too much football lately and they've become a bit rusty. Hopefully they'll get more minutes in the following weeks.

BTW...Thought Gomez looked bad..
