Maybe Thiago was the problem. Henderson is playing better than I've seen for a long while and the team are winning the midfield battle which hasn't been the case for a long time.

Not seen Henderson and Thiago on the pitch together in ages, so not sure Thiago is the issue, more the midfield isn't settled.

Glad to hear Hendo back though.😎

Complete tangent, and I don't belong in this thread really, but thought this was funny. At work yesterday a customer had ordered a chocolate heart-shaped Valentine lollipop. We didn't have any, so I looked at the suggested substitution. It was a bar of Dairy Milk chocolate, which - yes - is not  a bad idea. But specifically one branded to Liverpool FC. That's a fucking long shot as a romantic gift.

It's not even likely but a Liverpool win at the weekend would leave them 6 points behind Newcastle with a game in hand. Not insurmountable, but I think it's important not to get carried away.

Felt like the old Liverpool. I think a fe changes helped, a Thiago less midfield seemed to have more aggression and bite, Nunez in the middle was always a better option than Gakpo imo, plus Salah found some of his missing mojo. Jota and Firmino back again. Bajcetic is going to be quite the player.

Bajcetic is incredible at 18, cannot quite believe  how tidy and composed he is. Lovely range of passing. Robertson shithousery glorious. I love that it started from him making a full pitch length run in the 86th minute to close his man down too. Pure Robertson. 
 

Really really needed that, thank goodness.

Let’s not forget that Everton were totally awful though. Their youth striker had 0 support and they had no effective runners from midfield. We looked better than we have recently but Newcastle will be a totally different test.

Certainly feels a bit similar to, say, the win over Villa, probably the last time we looked good, and that was also against an absolutely hopeless team (maybe the last 3 points that Gerrard will ever win us?)

 

And it wasn't like it was that comfortable anyway, despite Everton's limitations. Our first breakaway goal came from them hitting the post, and their goalkeeper literally jumped out of the way of Salah's shot. A couple of cm the other way on Tarkowski's header and instead we're chasing the game against a 10-man defence for an hour, and we all know how that's tended to pan out lately.

 

There are definitively positives to take from it - the pace and hunger in the counter-attack for that first goal, for example - but suggesting that 'Liverpool are back!' is jumping the gun fairly dramatically, I reckon.

I’d agree. It was a win boosted by the fact it was over our closest rivals, and right off the back of a week of Dyche-hype and how they’ve got their mojo back while we’re in the doldrums. Putting that to bed, even for one week, is the sort of high that is probably all this remaining season is good for.

 

There are reasons to be more optimistic than that with a number of players returning from injury but there are also bigger tests to come in the next month. Still need eight points to be sure we’re staying up ;)
