Top four belatedly secured and another superb home show. Salah broke another record, picked up more awards and of course scored another goal – drought over. Great to see Dom Solanke and Andy Robertson get on the scoresheet and Lovren’s header could have broken the net. Great day, nice walk in the sunshine for the players and their families and as far as the league’s concerned, job done.

Not the result we wanted but we didn’t really deserve anything either. Tired legs or tired minds? Unfortunately the changes we made as the game wore on made no real difference and we’re beginning to wonder if Solanke will ever score?
Roma 4 Liverpool 2
its not very often that a defeat can actually taste sweet but this time it tastes so very, very sweet. The scoreline flattered the Romans but even that doesn’t matter. Roma had to come and get us; we knew what was needed and we did it. At two-all with five minutes left it was probably understandable that Jurgen wanted to put the shutters up but unfortunately we’re so short of numbers it doesn’t work. The third Roma goal didn’t really give them a lot of hope because of the time on the clock and the fourth was a gift from the referee but it was basically the last kick. There were, of course, causes for concern and we did get sloppy at times when going forward but there were also heroes and we’re going to Kiev.
