Absolutely, Kelly.
You know, all game, he was a fool in their side.
Joe Gomez and Virgil van Dijk really struggled with him.
He had a bit of physicality.
But what we've seen today is they might have fallen on system here with two strikers, two up front.
You can see with Solanke there at the back post with Richarlison.
They're a handful.
They've got physicality.
They were powerful.
They were, corners were coming in or free kicks.
They went direct.
You could hit them.
You could see Solanke bumps into Gomez there.
Virgil van Dijk now has got a problem.
And that happened time and time again.
As Roy rightly says, it wasn't pretty, but they had opportunities and they were just always there.
You can see they land on this second ball here, gets his strike away.
And it just became uncomfortable for Liverpool.
The longer it went on, you felt that they would get something.
Jamie Carragher said it perfectly.
