UEFA Champions League

Two things were at play tonight:

Liverpool were probably gutted by Kompany's late goal yesterday, giving them increased desperation

Liverpool missing Salah and Firmino probably both played in the heads of Barca, as well as what Bill Simmons calls "the Ewing Factor," sometimes when a team is missing a great player, everybody rallies (a cousin of the "we're being disrespected" card) affecting the remaining LFC players....I mean, Origi scoring two goals off the bench? Allison with those saves? C'mon, man.

Incredible. This is up there with Istanbul....as long as they win the next one.

Alisson is a beast regardless. He gets a bad wrap about being dodgy on the ball from some supporters and I would say at times he doesn't guard his near post as much as he should but I think both of those are over-confidence issues.

I agree with everything else though. Origi deserves a new contract if he wants one, perfect squad player. Hell even Studge probably had the most hustle I've seen out of him for 2 years in his 5 minute cameo. Trent giving Klopp a reason to never pick another right back ahead of him again as well.
