That Gini/Trent exchange sums up the entire day. Brutal

Wonder if that was Alisson’s issue.

So many good performances today. Alisson, Trent, Joe, Sadio all looked next level. Just a great game by a lot of great players.

Alisson gets the start after all.

Looks like Alisson and Thiago are out tomorrow.

TAW’s player ratings. Somehow I don’t think a few of these would be written by an American. Not offended at all, just chuckled. The Secret Diary of Adrian in Goal: 7 Tested loads in the second half. Few decent saves but, unlike me, didn’t keep a clean sheet. The Velvet Underground and Neko Williams: 6 Not great for their opener but otherwise decent without being spectacular. The other Williams fella: 5 Missed his mate when he got off at half time and the night turned rowdy and everybody started doing balloons and letting goals in. Big Virg: 7 Played the role of “older brother on a stag do” to perfection. Got off early, had a shower, changed into his own clobber and probably went out to an over-25s club later. Tsimikas: 6 Started really brightly and then drifted out the game. Grujic: 6 No idea. Weird. Didn’t know what to do when he scored and neither did anyone else. Shaq: 8 At the centre of most things we did well and great freekick to get us going. To be honest, I haven’t seen a shot from outside the box against Lincoln that good since John Wilkes Booth. Curt-Is Right Jones: 9 Always takes his opportunity and never fails to show what a talent he is. Goals, work rate, decent hair – what Bill Shankly once referred to as The Holy Trinity. Lee Harvey Elliot: 6 Showed glimpses here and there. Thought he started the second half well in particular and was a little unlucky to go off. Divock: 7 Ran onto Minamino’s pass in the 88th minute, sang Don’t You Forget About Me at the top of his lungs, imagined Pickford was in goal, and just leathered it. What a guy. Minamino: 8 His first is brilliant, you know. I haven’t seen a shot from outside the box against Lincoln that good since Xherdan Shaqiri. SUBS Fabinho: 5 Followed his brilliant display at Chelsea with a bit of a mixed bag tonight and I haven’t been this confused by a Liverpool centre back since I saw that Des programme on ITV and I thought “why’s Alan Hansen going around killing everyone?”. Jota: 6 Bit lively. Nabs: N/A Bit Non Applicable. Get our app 👉 bit.ly/2EN6oZm

Doh!

I’ll take it, but that was a lucky goal. Good on him getting on the scoresheet for Liverpool finally.

They deserved a goal. Our defense has been suspect these past few minutes. Not unexpected though.

Jota, let’s see what you got.

Adrian looking STRONG!

Would we be ok moving on in this tournament if it means a similar lineup until the ~semis?

Silly question I could answer myself if I could record and rewind the fucking game, but was VVD the captain and did he pass to Milner after halftime?

Alisson again! Fabinho again bossing it.

100% if Mané didn’t have the two goals for me. Especially the second one he basically created.

Get in!

And no pause/rewind functionality.

?!? Not sure what I did? Which post and what do you do to change?

Hadn’t heard about the Gomez knock. Don’t like having to scramble with a team like chelski

Kid took the Xbox to a friends... No Peacock on the firestick yet, so watching on the iPad. Hard to believe that NBC has screwed this up so much.

Origi and Van de Berg get goals. Who’s next?

Like it even more that he got a goal.

Think he was offside, good hit and it counts, don’t care. Nice to get on the scoresheet Harvey.

I’ll give you a few minutes of good defense before getting winded. I’ll give you nothing going forward.

Like Minamino looking good.
