Although I don't think Hart is a world class keeper, Liverpool are mental if they don't go in for him in the summer. Such an upgrade on both Mignolet and Karius.
Totally agree. I've defended him in the past and really thought he'd be desperate to prove a point today after the Oxford game but he just lazily wandered round for most the time he was on the pitch while sloppily laying the ball off to the Derby defenders (granted he got the assist).
Buzzing, vital win. Atmosphere was canny today as well, there was a few times when the 'Rafa Benitez' chants actually went round the whole stadium and that barely every happens now even in the bigger games.
It would be this club down to an absolute tee if we didn't back Rafa in the summer and lost him but backed the incompetent McLaren in 2 windows when it was clear he should've been gone before the second one even started
Rafa's press conference this afternoon has soothed my concerns a bit although I still can't help but think he'll be away in the summer.
Chelsea 2-0 Arsenal
Crystal Palace 2-0 Sunderland
Everton 2-0 Bournemouth
Hull 1-2 Liverpool
Southampton 1-1 West Ham
Watford 1-0 Burnley
West Brom 2-1 Stoke
Spurs 2-0 Middlesbrough
Man City 3-0 Swansea
Leicester 0-2 Man Utd
Newcastle 2-1 Derby
It's the 3 consecutive away games against Brighton/Reading/Huddersfield in February/March that worry me, we can get away with Shelvey or Gayle for 1 or 2 games against lower Championship level but if either or both missed any of them 3 I struggle to see us getting a win.
