Phew

Crap performance. 3 points is all that mattered. You can see we’re struggling to find a rhythm with the missing players

[Mellin]

Vital. If Liverpool fail to beat Sunderland we've recovered most of the damage from the weekend.

Crucial three points but absolute blose, deserved to lose. Can see us being outside the top five by the time Tielemans and McGinn are back in April. Rudderless without them.

Beautiful

Ugliest of ugly wins, but no matter how pretty or ugly it's still 3 points.

However we got it, we needed that.

Absolute stinker of a performance. We’re in a real slog period (understandable), but that 3 points is massive. So important we did that, and that’s all that matters.

So ugly we need to sign a plastic surgeon. But a huge win.

He needs phasing out, Tom!

Alysson has something about him btw.

Love a high chest trap

That feels like a massive win!  Well done.  Certainly wasnt pretty -  but a midweek that could have left us 4th - 1 point above 5th.  Instead we go into the FA Cup weekend 6 points clear of 5th.

Definitely in the category of “the result is all that matters”. We need to grind out a few more of those in the next few weeks.

Hopefully the cup game gives them a bit of mental respite from the pressure of the league.

Was it just the 1 shot on target in the middle of the first half then?
