Great stuff considering we were a man down without Firmino for the most part.

Shots fired

That wasn't a particularly high quality performance in many respect but it was as disciplined and ballsy as we've been this season.

Our counter-attack was an absolute non-entity all game and the likes of Mane, Sturridge and Coutinho really didn't deliver on that front, nor were our attacks in general possession all that effective, but the work off the ball was herculean and the control in possession was immaculate.
To be fair, Firmino was a big loss on the quality front.

I think literally the only blemish other than that was the cluster**** for their goal.

Lallana leaves his man, doesn't tell Hendo someone is on his blind side, Matip ****s up a tackle and then so does Lallana.
A lot of ****ups to have all come at the same time.
Great response after it though.

Until we show otherwise, we're a worse team than the expected top 5 so at the very least we need to turn these games into wars of attrition like tonight.
We're actually pretty good at them. We have a **** up in us, but to be entirely fair, so does everyone else and we're actually pretty solid at defending in the main.
We just give absolute guaranteed goals away now and again.:pac:

Massive win. Plenty of good performances in at least some respects. I don't think you can say anyone had particularly bad games, but after slating him a bit at Leicester I thought Clyne was really good today.
Conversely, Milner wasn't great - he does this hopping bull**** that puts him off balance when someones standing him up on the wing and it nearly led to him giving a penalty away against a lump like Ivanovic.

I guess you'd give Hendo or Lovren man of the match. Near perfection from both and a goal a piece.

10 points from last seasons top three and Chelsea in our first five games with four of them away from home is a great start to the season.

Real pity the Burnly result sours it all. Great start with really positive forward play.

True, Danny had some nice flicks but he did very little. Wasn't really a game for him. Coutinho did well I thought with some great little balls, if its Firmino up top I think we win it a lot easier.

I did think he still looked a lot sharper than the first few weeks. Even showed a bit of pace a few times.

I'm starting to think that maybe we might see bits of old Danny boy at some stage in the near future.

Buford T. Justice XIX · 16-09-2016 10:01PM

This is the happiest I've been since the CL semifinal in 2005.

Who needs to park a bus to win a game? Not Liverpool!

Football, good football, damn good football won that game.

A thing of beauty is a joy forever.

'King delighted!

People keep saying that but the game i was looking at Chelsea scored from their only real chance. Did Mignolet have to make a real save? I thought the back 4 was superb tonight.

Chelsea were ****ing ****e though.

Who are the top 5? Cause we played Arsenal off the park and dominated Chelsea tonight.

Both away from home. We also were better than Spurs at White Hart Lane.

They were because we made them look sh1te and because we were the better team not because they are sh1te because they aren't.

In a perverse kind of way I'm glad Burnley happened, otherwise I'd be in a sick gut-wrenching 'we're gonna win the league' frenzy. Better to be disappointed early...

DJIMI TRARORE · 16-09-2016 10:04PM

Best defensive performance under klopp,even the goal was out of the blue. Pleasantly surprised and happy all round

One_Of_Shanks · 16-09-2016 10:05PM

Get the f**k in there!!!!!! Terrific display.

The added beauty of these Friday night games is that you can celebrate with a few beers too, doesnt get much better than that

(I know most of us do that anyway regardless of kick-off times/days but this way we dont have to feel guilty)

If I was knit-picking then I'd like to see us keep the occasional clean sheet, conceding in all 5 games so far is slightly worrying BUT it's far outweighed by 10 points from a brutally tough opening 5 fixtures, still crazy that the solitary fcuk-up was Burnley.

Have to love Klopp's celebrations at full time with all the hugs, how could you NOT want to play well for that man?

And all that without Firminho who I'm certain would have been Klopp's preferred starter up top ideally (Sturridge did great anyway)

Time for a take-away and Match of The Day now........ Oh wait!

Going by his other post i don't think so... could be wrong but defo not obvious sarcasm.

Regardless that was f*cking GREAT!

I was gutted for a week after that but, looking back now, it does look like an out of character blip as we've been very impressive since. We just look grittier this season. The fact that we played tonight without Firmino - who was untouchable last weekend - impresses me even more.

I was happy enough to be sceptical about his place under Klopp this season esp playing in a deeper role but I think he's getting to know the position under the boss's coaching. Also helps that he looks fitter now than at any point in the last 18 months or so.

They didn't want to win anyway! Oh wait that's another team.

2ppg from a very tough opening 5 fixtures. Delighted with that.

Nah we need to buy a CDM, you can't coach a player to play a different way...

Some strike today but his anticipation was great at times.

If one team looks ****e does the other team always have to take credit for that?

Aimless passing, even when not under pressure, poor delivery from out wide, Hazard utterly anonymous, even after beating a man, Oscar existing...

You generally don't go to Stamford Bridge and just stroll to an 8-0 win. There's always going to be an element of difficulty but I thought they were absolute poo.

We seemed to work far harder and be far sharper in most areas of the pitch. Those weren't things we should be effecting in them.

I'd have things the same way as they were at the start of the season - City, Utd, Arsenal, Chelsea, Spurs and then us.

We did all that last season as well. That's not the problem with this squad.
Our issues last season were at home and/or against weaker teams who sat deep - ie how you get the majority of your points.

We've failed pretty much our only test against a team like that so far.

I'm a bit more optimistic than I was 6 weeks ago that we could overacheive this season but I'm waiting until around Christmas time before I reckon we'll have much of a notion what kind of team we are.

Vicxas · 16-09-2016 10:15PM

Delighted with that. Stamford Bridge is a tough nut to crack for any team. But I think we did really well keeping them at bay.

Very optimistic for the next few matches

Agent Coulson · 16-09-2016 10:16PM

So Sturridge is injured again. Is there a pool on how many games he will miss this time around.

I'll guess 3 and he will come on as a sub in the 4th game

J Mysterio · 16-09-2016 10:17PM

Feckin D-E-lighted with that. Delighted for Henderson, MotM and potential GOTS.

What a start to the weekend!

Klopps interview also... tremendous!

There'll be a few bob lumped on Liverpool for the league tonight :pac:

Ah, never mind that, he's brilliant. He's our mercurial houdini. When he's there it's magic!

I'm quite extatic with the kind of team we are at the minute. For me, that was the sweetest win I have had the pleasure of seeing for quite a while.

I may be in a minority but it's good to show a bit of football at the bridge, they've not seen it in a while.
