Well that was all a bit mad, wasn’t it? Quite a bit to take and and get through but the main thing to take from all this is that Liverpool are through as group winners in the so called ‘Group of Death’. Oh and we’re still unbeaten.
The game itself was enthralling, I think. Well most of it was. Liverpool were on it tonight and when we required top performances, the lads delivered.
The Aleti lads and to a certain extent, the ref, lost their heads and in played into out hands and you know what? I’m fine with that.
The only thing missing was more goals. It could have, and should have been more.
Ah well. First world problems, eh?
Alisson – 8
I mean, did he really have a lot to do there?! Had to collect a few balls and punched it out once that I can remember. Group of death, my arse.
Trent – 9
Another game, two more assists. The first one is just silly really. Bags of space, dangerous position, all the time in the world to take it and he just plonks it on Diogo’s head. Group of death, my arse.
van Dijk – 8
Ground Duels won. 1/1
Aerial Duels won. 5/5
Hahahahaha. Group of death, my arse.
Matip – 8
Ohhhh how nice would that have been if he just got that assist for Jota. A proper Joel Matip adventure, laughing in the face of Spanish Burnley only for it to be a pubic hair offside. Group of death, my arse.
Tsimikas – 8
You know what I was going to give him a slightly lower rating but he had 4 key passes in that game. It’s not the easiest game to come into but he likes to get forward a bit more than Robbo and he was great support for Sadio. When he wasn’t being kicked. Group of death, my arse.
Fabinho – 8
You can see the difference he makes to our midfield. The balance is just perfect. Highlighted within minutes as he just hoovered up at the back. So, so happy to have him back. Group of death, my arse.

Hendo – 8
Didn’t give Atleti a sniff. So much better in the 8 and with Fabinho behind him. Picked his moments when to press. And also when to press and have a go at that bizarre ref. Group of death, my arse.
Ox – 8
You know what, credit where it is due. He’s come under fire a lot recently and what we saw today was like Ox of old; long, driven runs from deep, nice link up play and did his defensive duties too. Group of death, my arse.
Salah – 8
Some of his first touches were simply sublime and he did everything tonight but score. Ran Atleti ragged tonight. Well in, Mo. Group of death, my arse.
Jota – 9
Picked up a really good position for his goal, could argue it was terrible defending mind, but he got us going. Should have had about 12 goals like! Group of death, my arse.
Mané – 9
You know what, I loved everything I saw from Sadio today. That proper gritty, determined and classy performance. You know, in between being choke-slammed and booted about. Group of death, my arse.
SUBS.
Bobby – 7
Please don’t be injured. Please just have been a precaution. I love you Bobby. Group of death, my arse.
Thiago – 7
Two working legs tonight and a cracking hair style. Good to have him back. Group of death, my arse.
Divock – N/A
Only played 12 minutes. Group of death, my arse.
Taki – N/A
Only played the last few minutes. Group of death, my arse.
Big Nat – N/A
Only played the last few minutes. Group of death, my arse.
