More than one way to kill a side off Kev.
We don't need a 5-0 to psychologically constrict them like a Boa.
We've just beaten Arsenal 2-0 at the Emirates. Absolutely true that we rode some luck and also fair that one was an own goal - but the quality of Trent's delivery makes it.
A 2-0 win at Anfield leaves them in a position where they need to come at us in the second leg and our capacity to counter-attack will inhibit their bravery on the ball. One false move and we can make it 3-0 on aggregate before half-time of the second leg and have a boring-but-sensible second half of the second leg and reach a Final.
The poor buggers have to get past Alisson, Konate is in form and Van Dijk (if he is over his illness come Wednesday night) looks the best he has since the Pickford incident.
Unless we shoot ourselves in the foot (entirely possible) during the first leg, I would far rather be us.
