Probably didn't deserve to lose 4 _ 0 but again shows how fragile our defence is, it was a game we had to keep tight and whilst we have done very well recently I feel it would be a great mistake to assume that we are safe from relegation so goal difference could still come in to play. looking forward to the cup replay and a win would put us through to a winnable game against Norwich and a good chance of the quarter final.

In fairness I love what Ralph did. Basically went to anfield and played 4-2-4 saying ‘we’re going to attack you and you aren’t going to like it’ and we did exactly that. Don’t know how we didn’t get an indirect free kick for a deliberate back pass, Ings’ penalty shout I think would have been given had it been Salah going down.

We should have had 2 goals in the first half - Liverpool should also have had a penalty, but Liverpool’s goals weren’t as tho they just passed it through us, it was mostly through us being stretched while attacking and being counter-attacked, save for a few unfortunate deflections and slips it could easily have been 2-2. But that’s just the quality that this Liverpool side possess.

We probably would have lost anyway but I’m glad we went and gave it a bloody good go rather than just sit there and take it like most other sides - United included.

Apart from playing city we have a very good run in and I think should be looking towards 55 points rather than 40 and maybe a run at the top 7 which would be quite incredible considering where we were at Christmas. Ralph’s reaction at full time shows he isn’t concerned, he knows we played well and will continue to do so.

Get KWP in, play Armstrong and PEH in the middle, with Djenepo Ward Prowse Redmond Ings and all that jazz off the bench, and hopefully we can then have a strong transfer window now that we’ve cleared some room out.

Thought I would share a recent observation after watching Brentford hammer Hull City. What a class striker 24 year old Said Benarahma is. I personally believe he is much sharper than Jarrod Bowen. 24 yr old Ollie Watkins also was impressive support. Should a striker be on the radar Benarahma is definitely one for the future not withstanding our needs are in several positions. KOM.

I loved the way Ralph went for Liverpool. The highest number of shots against Liverpool since 2014! an incredible statistic!
In reality, our defence was changed for the first time in ages - albeit by us letting Cedric go.
But with the midfield, there were two changes from previous games. One was enforced ie Armstrong being injured, but moving JWP to right back was an unnecessary change. JWP has excelled at playing his more traditional number 10 role.
I am hoping that he puts JWP back in midfield for the next few games.
