APPLAUSE
And he makes just one change, Jürgen Klopp,
to the side that won against Wolves the other day,
so Alisson in goal, a team - don't forget - defending a 50-match unbeaten run.
Back four as you were, just one goal conceded
in the five Premier League games Gomez and Van Dijk have partnered in,
and it's Keita that comes into midfield. Henderson and Gini inside there too.
Firmino with four in four in the Premier League, no goal here since April though,
I'm sure he'd like to change that tonight.
We actually sent the dog!
Crackers.
- Happy New Year. - Jürgen, all the best.
It's quite nice, isn't it?
Alisson!
Adrian!
Mo!
A Liverpool fan.
I've been a Liverpool fan for years now,
but it's the first time I've been at Anfield since they've renovated it,
my third time here.
APPLAUSE
VIRGIL: Come on, boys, eh!
♫ ..in your hearts
♫ And you'll never walk alone
♫ You'll never walk alone
♫ Walk on, walk on... ♫
Let's go, guys!
FANS: Ohhh!
♫ Now you're gonna believe us, now you're gonna believe us
♫ We're champions of the world... ♫
♫ You'll never sing that
♫ Champions of League One, you'll never sing that. ♫
How pleasing was the performance tonight?
Yeah, it was a real controlled performance from us,
we know how we struggled against Sheffield United at Bramall Lane,
it was only really from a mistake that we didn't draw it,
and they've picked up points from every away game apart from Man City and us.
So that's five on the bounce,
even though we were winning games a lot was said about our defence,
but we just kept on going and we knew the clean sheets would come,
so I'm delighted to get five on the bounce but it's about keeping that going now.
Well, Jürgen, congratulations, three more points,
you must be delighted with how intelligent your team were in that win?
Absolutely, it was a brilliant performance, sensational goals, could have been more,
should have been more, we had the chance from Mo on the counter-attack...
What kind of football is that? Unbelievable.
We watched a lot of Sheffield United games
but I didn't see one where the opponent controlled them like we did,
so that was the plan, that they feel after a couple of seconds,
"That's Liverpool, that's different."
We have to make sure we don't take things like this for granted, that's really important.
We are critical, we want to improve, but playing against Sheffield United like we did,
nobody did that in 2019, so that makes it really special and I hope everybody saw that.
