Liverpool smashed Burton 5-0 tonight in the second round of the League Cup, and naturally, the online reaction was over the top as it was on Sunday following the loss to Burnley…
Still, it was a top performance with new signings Sadio Mane and Joel Matip putting on especially superb performances.

The former especially was incredible.
Matip wasn’t tested much but he reminds me of Agger,he looks like he can play football in his slippers.CB’s like that are a rare breed.#LFC

A goal or assist every 53 minutes for Liverpool for Mane so far ;-)

The pace and control that Mané has with the ball is incredible.

ALSO how much better a signing is Mane over Gotze? Pace, power, strength, the complete opposite of Gotze. I applaud you Jürgen.

Before we do Anything else the 1st thing we should do is put one serious buy out clause in Sadio Mane’s contract #LFC #lfcfamily

4 defo starters for weekend
– Can in controlling / shielding
– Mané’s pace & creativity
– Matip’s height & defending
– Sturridge’s goals— LFC blogster (@LFCblogster) August 23, 2016
Happy with that. Clean sheet, Sturridge at the double and a much needed confidence boost going into a tough game on Saturday

Burton or not, we can only beat the team in front of us and we did so emphatically.
What a quality performance.
Bring on Tottenham. #LFC

Got the win
Mane is unreal
Matip looks class
Emre Can is my captain
Klopp is boss
And yes it’s only Burton— – (@AnfieldRd96) August 23, 2016
Joel Matip is unbelievable.
Exactly what we’ve been missing.
Tall, agile & composed.
