The likes of Joe Willock, Reiss Nelson and Ainsley Maitland-Niles have also shown their worth.

Dear Coleen: 'I love my girlfriend but sex is a real no-go area with her'
Dear Coleen
I’m a guy in my 20s and I’ve been seeing someone for nearly a year. I’m mad about her and can see us having a future, but intimacy is a real problem.
We’re the same age, but while I’ve been in a couple of relationships and had sex a lot, she’s inexperienced and finds it embarrassing to talk about her sexual history.
We’ve never had full sex in the time we’ve been together, although we’ve done other intimate things.
She can’t relax, though, and always pulls away if things are in danger of going “too far”.
I’ve been patient and understanding, and I’ve tried to talk to her about it, but she just clams up.
We’ve argued over it, too, but always come back together and the argument is forgotten, and it’s as if nothing has happened. Until the next time!
I really want to be close to her and I want to help her get over this, but I’m running out of ideas. I’ve never been in this situation before – sex has always been easy and enjoyable.
I love her, but it feels as if I’m hitting my head against a brick wall.
Any ideas on what I can do?

Coleen says
I think it’s really up to your girlfriend to open up and be honest with you.
Maybe there’s something in her past that triggers this fear of intimacy.
Or it could be her lack of sexual experience means she has no confidence so, the more she worries about it, the less able she is to relax and enjoy it.
She needs to figure it out or it’ll affect her chances of forming a close, loving relationship.
I know it’s hard to talk about sex, but if you think you’d like to stay with this woman, then it needs to be addressed.
But don’t discuss it when you’re being intimate or during an argument – find an opportunity when you’re both relaxed and have the time to get into it.
Give her lots of reassurance that you love and support her and want to make it work. Ask her how you can help to make things easier for her.
If you’re crazy about someone and feel comfortable in their presence, then being intimate should feel natural.
I think your girlfriend needs to be honest with herself and with you about how she really feels and, if she’s buried something that makes sex an issue, then psychosexual counselling would be a good idea.

thedailymirror--2020-07-05--Mane adds to impressive record in lacklustre Liverpool's win over Villa

When Jurgen Klopp urged people not to turn up at Anfield , maybe his champions thought he was referring to them .
But while the best team in the land did not show for this contest , Sadio Mane did .
Fortunately for Klopp , he never takes a day off .
When the individual accolades are dished out at the end of this surreal season , there is a chance Liverpool players will split the vote and allow Kevin de Bruyne to collect the honours .
That would hardly be ill-deserved , De Bruyne being the most accomplished footballer @ @ @ @ @ @ @ would be a real shame if Mane did not finally get the full individual recognition his outstanding contribution to Liverpool ’ s cause deserves .
In keeping with the overall standard of this occasion , Mane was not at his most sparkling , not at his brilliant best .
But he made the decisive run and struck the decisive shot just when it mattered .
And that has become Mane ’ s trademark .
An important goalscorer , a scorer of important goals .
In the grand scheme of things , the one @ @ @ @ @ @ @ victory here was not of monumental significance - not like the winner he scored in the dying seconds of the fixture at Villa Park earlier in the season .
But , make no mistake , Klopp will want the Premier League points record and as big a winning margin over Manchester City as is possible .
And before Mane , unlike the masses , turned up for this match , Villa looked to be heading quite comfortably for a share of the spoils .
Indeed , while no-one can not have seen this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ themselves for failing to take advantage of a Liverpool performance that was , for large periods , completely unrecognisable .
After a stunningly poor first half , Villa actually had the first decent chance to break the deadlock but Anwar El Ghazi allowed Alisson to save far too comfortably .
That , in a near-post nutshell , is why Villa are stumbling towards the Championship .
They looked completely bereft of confidence in an attacking sense even though this was as vulnerable as you are likely to see Liverpool ’ s defence .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ sort of physical problem all game , did not show any conviction in his passing .
Villa have scored five goals in their last nine Premier League fixtures , hence the two-point haul from a possible 27 .
And once they failed to take their half-chances here , there was always the possibility Liverpool ’ s class would eventually make itself known .
Sure enough , Naby Keita spotted Mane slipping his marker - as Mane does - and the Senegalese striker finished via the underside of the crossbar .
For a third @ @ @ @ @ @ @ goals across all competitions and , considering what else he brings to the team , that is an impressive record .
It was no surprise that Liverpool had looked a little more like themselves after Klopp brought on the cavalry of Jordan Henderson , Roberto Firmino and Gini Wijnaldum .
And it was no surprise a second and sealing goal arrived late on , Curtis Jones coming off the bench to record his first in the Premier League courtesy of a clever Mohamed Salah nod-down , a right-footed strike and a Tyrone Mings @ @ @ @ @ @ @ group of young players who Klopp plans to integrate into this formidable group of champions as he strives to create an era of dominance .
And in an instantly forgettable match , it was a moment the 19-year-old Liverpool lad , who signed a new long-term deal with the club only a couple days again , will never , ever forget .

LIVERPOOL 2-0 ASTON VILLA: The champions were far from their best on their return to Anfield, but got the job done through goals from Sadio Mane and Curtis Jones

And that has become Mane’s trademark. An important goalscorer, a scorer of important goals.

In the grand scheme of things, the one that put Liverpool on course for another victory here was not of monumental significance - not like the winner he scored in the dying seconds of the fixture at Villa Park earlier in the season.
But, make no mistake, Klopp will want the Premier League points record and as big a winning margin over Manchester City as is possible.
And before Mane, unlike the masses, turned up for this match, Villa looked to be heading quite comfortably for a share of the spoils.

Indeed, while no-one cannot have seen this result coming, Villa should be kicking themselves for failing to take advantage of a Liverpool performance that was, for large periods, completely unrecognisable.
After a stunningly poor first half, Villa actually had the first decent chance to break the deadlock but Anwar El Ghazi allowed Alisson to save far too comfortably.
That, in a near-post nutshell, is why Villa are stumbling towards the Championship.
They looked completely bereft of confidence in an attacking sense even though this was as vulnerable as you are likely to see Liverpool’s defence.

Even Jack Grealish, troubled by some sort of physical problem all game, did not show any conviction in his passing.
Villa have scored five goals in their last nine Premier League fixtures, hence the two-point haul from a possible 27.
And once they failed to take their half-chances here, there was always the possibility Liverpool’s class would eventually make itself known.
Sure enough, Naby Keita spotted Mane slipping his marker - as Mane does - and the Senegalese striker finished via the underside of the crossbar.
For a third successive season, Mane has scored 20 goals across all competitions and, considering what else he brings to the team, that is an impressive record.

It was no surprise that Liverpool had looked a little more like themselves after Klopp brought on the cavalry of Jordan Henderson, Roberto Firmino and Gini Wijnaldum.
And it was no surprise a second and sealing goal arrived late on, Curtis Jones coming off the bench to record his first in the Premier League courtesy of a clever Mohamed Salah nod-down, a right-footed strike and a Tyrone Mings deflection.
Jones is part of a group of young players who Klopp plans to integrate into this formidable group of champions as he strives to create an era of dominance.
And in an instantly forgettable match, it was a moment the 19-year-old Liverpool lad, who signed a new long-term deal with the club only a couple days again, will never, ever forget.
