Bar Ibe's disappointing cameo I thought we did well and certainly deserved a point.
The back four were excellent and I feel the new coaching staff have helped address the dilly dally phannying at the back, between the defence and Mig. Having Benteke as an out ball has helped to in that regard.
"Defending is easy" after all
Milner has been an astute signing and Lovren looks a lot more solid having a more naturally defensive player at left back.
I have been a little concerned about Ibe's form. He's trying to do much when he has the ball and is more often than not gifting the opposition the ball. Being greedy has always been a negative trait with him. Both Skrtel & Can gave him a well deserved b'llocking during the game for cheaply giving the ball away. He has great ability so hopefully he will learn.
very happy tonight 7 points out of 9 after playing Stoke and Arsenal away is a good return
Ibe was poor when he came on and you could see quite a few of the players getting on his back.
could probably do with another loan until christmas to build his confidence.
more talented than sterling, but dont think he has that natural confidence
Ibe is still very young. He doesn't have to progress as fast as Sterling did. On the whole he's been decent for a lad of his age in a general sense. Certainly has a lot to work on though. Firmino and Coutinho should be ahead of him but besides those two he should get enough game time to develop without too much pressure.
Very good point, I'm happy with that. First half showed plenty of evidence that our attacking play is improving.
With regards Ibe, yes he has struggled, but I think that is down to putting pressure on himself and overthinking it. When everyone is fit our front three will be Sturridge Benteke Firmino, so I suspect Ibe will drop down to the bench and play in EL C1 games.

If Chambers wasn't disabled it would have been a different game

What, you'd have scored if your centre back was better?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Well we did score but we wouldn't have looked so bad at the back and wouldn't have lost the ball so much

You didn't score it was 0-0.
