Absolutely brilliant result. Great going forward but defensively we looked like conceding every time they attacked.
Gruda and Ayari the standouts for me.
Estupinan’s game management at the end nearly gave me a hernia.
Alexander Arnold is entitled to do what he wants with his own career, but he does so knowing that leaving on a free to the richest club in the world will taint his Liverpool legacy with a chunk of their fans.
Had he had 3 years on his contract, his transfer fee would likely have been close to...
I’ve really wanted him to be good and looks like he’s now showing it. Also looks like he’s gone from 4th choice right back to 2nd choice right back now.
Naylor said at the time the fee was closer to £6m.

And I’d be amazed if we got our money back with him only having 1 year left.
He’s got 2 goals and 3 assists so far, including a goal of the month contender on Saturday. I think his confidence is fine.
Seriously, our loans on the whole this season have been abysmal, but this one actually has worked out well.
Enciso has started Ipswich’s last 8 games, and only missed 2 games through injury.
Ipswich’s survival bid may have been doomed, but Enciso’s loan is definitely one of our more successful ones this season.
