We had 9 corners v Southampton. We're mega wasteful of corners and our freekicks also seem poorly planned. Nice to have so many strong n tall players but I think Jota will be ahead of Darwin next year as 9, w Gakpo on left.

2 of Liverpool's 4 goals against Luton came from Robbo's interceptions. I'd give him 2 more years or so at LFC unless he declines loads next season. Thiago n Matip can go and Kelleher can be sold if he wants away.
