Liverpool recorded a comprehensive 2-0 victory at home to Watford on Sunday afternoon, building momentum at the end of the 2015/16 season.
Goals from Joe Allen and Roberto Firmino sealed the three points for the Reds, as Jurgen Klopp‘s side strolled to the win at a sunny Anfield.
Building on Wednesday night’s emphatic 3-0 win over Villarreal in the Europa League semi-finals, this latest triumph saw Klopp’s much-changed unit produce a solid all-round performance.
With just two games until the end of the league campaign, Liverpool will hope to continue this run of form and secure a top-six finish, providing supporters and Klopp himself plenty of cause for optimism.
Here’s how supporters saw Liverpool’s 2-0 win at home to Watford.
On the whole, there was a sense of contentment, despite a relatively drab affair on Merseyside…
Solid game. Took care of business.#LFC

“Brannagan seems like a tasty prospect from what we see, looks to be more PL quality than Chirivella.”
– charleslee89 on the forums.
The players who have it, stand head and shoulders above the rest. Brannagan is one, who has it in spades, with composure and control also.

Brannagan looks a real talent. Looked so bright since coming on.
