The first half saw us soaking up their very sharp plays for the first 10 minutes or so until we started to take a foothold in the game thanks mainly to our defence Winks, Dembele, Moura and Eriksen. Dier was dire in this half (my opinion) where a few of their attacks started with him either not reading the game properly or lacking judgement therefore giving the ball away.
Second half just as poor especially as Trippier decided to match Dier in poor performance. Liverpool seemed to play the game in 2nd gear while we huffed and puffed without a clue. No coincidence we seemed slightly better when Dier went off and both Lamela and Sonny came on. Liverpool was the better side and deserved the three points despite the sloppy goals we (Vorm)conceded. The only consolation if you can call it that, neither Mane or Salah scored against us.
Very poor performance by us, so I am giving Lamela MOTM for at least trying to force the issue, all be it late and for scoring the only "proper" goal in the match
