Yeah. It's a good combo. He brings the presence between the two.

Gini and Cisse combo was just painful in comparison. Gini is so weird man.

Feel dirty saying it, but he played really well. Very suited to the deeper more compact defensive setup. Very solid when he isn't exposed in wide open spaces.

I'm excited about it man. Give me a break!

Our biggest issue this season has been finding the right spot for both he and Gini.

The balance looked really GREAT! Gini was still fairly quiet but it didn't hurt us as much with him being on the left.

Yeah, I'd say he'd make a very decent prem right back if he commits to mastering that position. Looks very impressive there.

He played great today - goal and commitment. He's far better centrally than wide left. And I liked him popping up by roaming around.

Watching the replay now and you are 100% right. Looks great central.

Making great runs down the channels from the position off the front man that allowed the team to play the ball into those spaces to relieve pressure.

Also did a great job pressing with his pace and power and his presence in there made our midfield more difficult to play through.

It also puts him in a much more dangerous position in any counter attacks.

He just looks far more useful there as he can use his athleticism, which is his over riding strength, right in the thick of the action.

Watching the replay of the game now. Looks really good at right back.

Just realised he played the corner for the first goal too. Goal and assist today.

When did he move central? And who then was out wide?

 

Played the whole game through the middle with Gini then Ayoze on the left

Ah! Didn't realise. Huge call by Rafa. No wonder we got the result. Gini is pathetic off the front man.

When did he move central? And who then was out wide?

Big strong presence at the back. Hallelujah!

Really like this guy. Have from the beginning. Good player that gives his all. Considering how little he had played before joining he's been so good. Happy for him.

Wish sissoko was captain of the titanic

He is.

:lol:

So good!

I would have rather had Shelvey or De Jong in Gini's position. Gini is a waste of time at this point.

Sissoko is useless but at least he does try to do something, even though it never comes off.

Gini is just pathetic.

Can't even be mad at Colback inclusion as no one showed more while he was out.

Might as well go ultra defensive in there as Rafa seems to have done.

Seems in the forward areas he's just gone for the most athletic players who might then produce something out of nothing.

I can see what his thinking is.

We'll win but it will be ugly. Looks like Rafa has opted for ultra defensive grind it out. Can we blame him? No.

Defoe just had to roll that to Borini. So selfish.

Is a draw a better result maybe?

Agent Bassong.

Origi another one from France Ligue 1 that looks better than all the ones Carr opted for.

Fair play to Tuchel. Handling the interview like a boss. Tough night.

Christ, thought I couldn't hate Liverpool enough. They're just one massive cringe.

Come on man. Can't fault the reaction to something like that.

"Win for the Liverpool country"

Sakho chill man!
