Ajax harried us for the first 45 minutes like Villa did but then run out of energy allowing us to take control. Taking of Mo, Bobby and Mane wasn't a big thing, it's the 5th time Klopp has taken all off in a single game and Jota and Minimino did a good job. Shaq has no presence so struggled but he could have scored on the break.
Fab, Robbo, Hendo, great games, Gini, TAA, Adrian all played to par, Jones struggled badly and ran around behind or off the ball. Didn't cause anyone problems throughout the game which is disappointing. Gomez will gain confidence playing with Fab, he just needs game time. First time I've seen Rhys Williams (he played Spike didn't he?!) however the first thing I noticed was he lollops along exactly like VVD... for the short time he was on, the lad looked confident and did well so a big well done.
Overall a great result, hard work but we got the reward. Onwards and upwards.
3 massive points considering the upcoming games congestion, it takes pressure off us and you might see some rotation next week against Midgetlland to allow the EPL games to be contested with our reduced squad.
