I'm not sure on what level he's a great lad to them. s*** manager, massive Tory, managed Chelsea in the game which they won to give Liverpool the title, isn't called Tony...
It's the shouting at Klopp thing isn't it?
Also, he basically came out of nowhere. I don't think I had even heard of him talked about as a first team player until Jurgen put him into the squad and he'd been talking up Billy Koumetio instead.
I'd say that they were close in terms of game reading and physical and aerial dominance, but Sami was real slow. He would have been obliterated in any kind of high line tactical setup.
Given that Rodri has been crocked for two months and Haaland is bang out of form, it'll be interesting to see who is top. Not sure there's an obvious number 1.
