Gottlob Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 That was a really good performance, and a fantastic result. There are flashes of good attacking play with Rondon, Perez, and Almiron in the attack and Ritchie offering good support tonight, and you can't fault our effort or organisation. I know most people weren't, but I was still a little bit apprehensive and would have been going into the weekend if we'd lost tonight. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToonArmy1892 Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 Tactical masterclass from Rafa. Â Really was. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 Don't know how we manage to win as many games as we do setting up like that. Defensively we have to be almost perfect and considering we don't have any real gold star forwards, it takes some pretty clever stuff to get the winner. It's all down to Rafa obviously.

Guest firetotheworks Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 A little bit backs to the wall at times but totally deserved. The only frustration was not putting it to bed rather than seeing it out, but the performance was very good.  Perez MOTM for me, but Rondon, Almiron, Ritchie, and Hayden all played their part around an impervious back 3. Great start to the weekend.

Pilko Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 Considering you expected them to throw the kitchen sink at us 2nd half, they created that one chance Vardy whipped over and basically nowt else.

Guest firetotheworks Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 This must be either the best combined set of centre backs we've had in the PL, if not then comfortably the most organised. I never thought I'd enjoy watching defending. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallowgate End Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 Brendan Rodgers was hoping we’d come and play 4 at the back like Bournemouth, Fulham and Brighton did and give them the space in behind and open game they wanted. Rafa Benitez is far too clever for that Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
