we look like a properly coached team.

with 2 or so additions to key areas to help improve the overall football etc, we will look like a different beast.

Yup - night and day compared to Gerrard's time.

It's a very un-PL like game. We're hardly being pressed at all. Brighton second XI had so much more of the ball than us, tonight against a better side man for man, we've probably had 65%.

Certain players will just not be able to do this.

It does give a bit of hope we could replace Watkins though. Remains to be seen how much he's essential in the PL. Under Smith and Gerrard, he absolutely was IMO.

Yeah, Watkins & McGinn have stood out like sore thumbs tonight.  Replacing the two of them with a new forward and JJ and this team looks very dangerous.

My thoughts on the First Half:

-Douglas Luiz running the show. Future captain.

-Luiz and Kamara is the midfield we've been dreaming of. Real connection between the two.

-Best McGinn in full show, get him up the pitch and he's a good player. Superb strength shown once again

-Watkins is so good, his hold up play brings Bailey and Buendia in

- Watkins is so bad. He can't finish his dinner

- Bailey pressing is impressive. Showing he's a team player

- Oslen has been good once again (Was good against Chelsea). We can count on him!

- I've learnt Spainish
