Peter gets the views of Dan on all things LFC ….<\/p>\n
Very good result. Most passes in English league history tells you how dominant we were. I was delighted as initially, I was apprehensive about the midfield with Milner and Henderson in it as i assumed we would lack any creativity but I was wrong thank goodness!<\/p>\n
Emre Can was exceptional, as was Henderson and if pressed to choose i\u2019d go with Emre as his bullet opened up the game and set us up for victory.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve defended the owners a lot as i do respect them as businessmen. They are an astute crowd and delivered with VVD, Salah and Man\u00e9 etc so I\u2019m not going to go off on them and pretend they don\u2019t spend any money because at the end of the day we have made huge progress over the past three years and ultimately they are responsible for bringing J\u00fcrgen Klopp in. But this was the time they needed to shut up and put up as we have taken one step forward with signing Van Dijk, one back selling Coutinho and another step back not replacing him. It\u2019s a huge risk not signing any midfield players as our squad looks paper thin at times and an injury to any of our front three would be devastating.<\/p>\n
Who am I to argue with the big man? ( Laughs )…. Seriously though, he said we tried to get Keita early, there was talk we were speaking to representatives of Antoine Greizmann and we wanted Leon Goretzka… so does that sound like a manager who is happy with what he has? I trust him though and if he felt we couldn\u2019t get better than what we have then I\u2019d have to say he\u2019s right to trust them!<\/p>\n
Van Dijk will be back in, and I\u2019d be inclined to replace Matip instead of Lovren. Dejan was pretty solid against Huddersfield and Matip was nothing short of atrocious. I\u2019d maybe change Milner for Ox just that we need his work rate and pace against a solid Spurs back line and midfield.<\/p>\n
We are at home, and i do think they will score.. so I\u2019m gonna go with a 2-1 nail-biter win!<\/p>\n
