We shouldn’t end without some honourable mentions. Given the sad news of Tommy Smith’s death this week, we should talk about Liam Coyle who was very impressive in a Tommy Smith way in midfield. He threw himself into every tackle to take man and ball each time. Hard but fair.
Ben Woodburn was also very quietly very effective in midfield. Very tidy, kept his position well, very disciplined to not just bomb burst forward for his own numbers when ahead. He lacks that explosiveness to perhaps be a top tier forward at the highest level. Similar to Scholes in that sense, who moved back from forward to AM, then CM.

Curtis Jones grabbed himself a good goal and also could have had a few more with a better break of the ball. He held his position well on the left and was always an outlet, causing major problems for Leicester every time he got on the ball.
There is a group of very useful kids coming through at the moment. Many of them will get the chance to show Klopp in the summer that they are ready to battle it out for a chance in the first team.
