I'm only regret about last night, was that Alan Smith wasn't commentating as well.

Would have liked to hear his comments too.

Boom_Bap · 17-09-2016 08:18AM

F*ck. Yeah.

The team as a whole impressed me last night, everyone was playing together.
The one tarnish I seen to that was Origi, he was playing his own game for a while, but when he was getting into the quick passing around the box he looked great.

On the other hand, Matip. I'm really impressed with that 90 from him apart from the not standing on his feet for the goal.
YOu could see at the start of the game Costa was trying to wrestle with him and Costa ended up on his ar$e a couple of the times.

Gigi had some great little moments, he is sticking to the basics of football at the moment which I like, similar to Lovren.

And Henderson. Rooter.

Lucas was late with his challenge and gave away a free in a dangerous position. Every other way to look at it, is not really relevant.

I Like Lucas BTW.

He didn't give away anything, Hazard codded a free out of the ref. To suggest that's not relevant in discussing the incident is pretty bizarre.

Neville's commentary was great, "you can see he looks for it ,there,flicks the leg into Lucas standing foot ,but it's a free" .. yes Gary it's a free coz it was a dive and the ref bought it..

Maybe Lucas should have stepped out of the way altogether.

What a pair of wankstains Tyler and ratboy were last night. It was an added relish to hear them suffering.

First line of my speech. "Liverpool won what a day"!

Fecking delighted with that, I feel like death today so I'm going watch the entire match, I heard the first half was brilliant.

I'm feeling it again, that feeling I had in 13/14. The reds are coming up the hill boys

17-09-2016 09:30AM

Congrats to yourself and your wife Rob.
Many decades of happiness to ye.

3 pts on a Friday evening allows serious sit back and enjoy others drop pts.... all going well

If I had to wait until after the game for your speech I'd have been firing sandwiches at you

Only joking...congratulations and enjoy day 2 of the wedding. Should be even better after that result.

Grayditch · 17-09-2016 09:48AM

I was in work during the game, but kept popping out to see snippets.

Lads, this has been a fantastic start to the season. We've begun like title contenders, no two ways about it. If we can keep it cool with the bogey teams now, happy days.

7/9 points from London. That's pretty beast.

Congrats, Rob. If you can get married every weekend, that'd be sweet

I would absolutely love us to have a boring 2-0 win over Hull in the next league game. I'd obviously on the day prefer a resounding 6-0 win, but boring 2-0 would be something we haven't done in ages.

Watford last May I'd say.

Forgot about that. Rare event though, a Liverpool 2-0 win over the last few seasons.

MD1990 · 17-09-2016 10:15AM

Hopefully now everyone will trust Klopp & not want overspending 50m + on overpriced players.

It's hard to beat a Tuesday wedding.

Next Tuesday, to be exact!

Gigi my MOTM
Scary spell after ht just like final against Seville...
Once we correct this lax attitude after the break sure there's no way were not getting 4th/winning the league?:)

Against decent teams there will inevitable be periods where we are under pressure, quite often that's not us being lax but simply the ebb & flow of a game of football.

You'll even have poor enough teams ( relegation battlers) will get their 10/20 minute spell.... again, for the most part that's to their credit, not a failure on our part.

If people can't accept that than us playing well is simply the opposition being poor & we have put Chelsea, arsenal & Leicester to the sword in entertaining fashion already along with a credible point at Spurs so we can deduce we've been more than good IMO

Sometimes we will be poor, things won't go our way & decisions go against us, like all teams though we will end up where we should be based on us, not what the opposition did or didn't do

Rat boy went way way over the top when Chelsea scored, and for the rest of the game.
Sweet

This to be honest.

Got this from reddit so I'll assume its correct.

We now have our best start to the Premier League season since 08/09. We have the same points after 5 matches as we did in 13/14, but with a higher goal difference. This is despite having faced the champions at home and Arsenal, Spurs and Chelsea away.

Playing top teams has never really been our weakness though to be fair however playing them so close together doesn't really happen in the first few games, at least I cant remember a tougher start.

Regardless of whether we usually struggle against the weaker teams it doesn't change the fact that these are tougher games against harder opposition. Its easier to fix the problem of beating the weaker teams. Just score more goals and you beat the dregs of the league, like we did with Luis up top.

I do think with the addition of Mane and the movement offered by Gigi and Lallana from midfield we should be able to pull teams that sit back apart. Leicester held a deep line against us and we cut them open, got the goal and the hard part is done.

I know a lot were giving out about them, and a lot were giving out about the giving out......however even if you are a neutral and you see Henderson strike a world class goal at Stamford bridge, friday night football, Chelsea vs Liverpool and all they can muster was an emotionless "Its a sumptuous goal" barely raised voice it takes you out of the moment a bit, I mean it went in and from the commentary I had to double check it didn't go over as it was silence and from listening to that pair for Liverpool games it happens all the time......I know its probably nit picking and I'm not saying they are biased, I'm not saying they should be roaring or anything but there was no enthusiasm/emotion at all.......are they like that for all goals in other games?

Vicxas · 17-09-2016 11:30AM

The more I watch Hendos goal the more I hate Martin Tyler commentating on Liverpool matches.

If that was Utd he'd have fallen out of his chair. Same story with the Mane goal against Arsenal.

Hopefully that Burnley result & performance will serve as a stick for Klopp to beat the complacency out of anyone looking like they can afford to plateau in terms of effort.

Pretty delighted with the way things are starting to click. If Gini and Hendo can keep improving in midfield, with Can and Gruijic waiting in the wings, I'll feel a bit silly for fretting about the lack of a 'proper' CM signing. Milner is giving it his all at LB, not a long term solution, but working much better than I thought it would.

The most satisfying part of last night's performance was just how much more controlled it was than we'd seen under Klopp so far, for all the exhilarating attacking in the good games. Front three weren't as sparky as we've seen against Arsenal, Spurs or Leicester, but the team just solved the problems they were faced with on the pitch and worked Chelsea out. When Chelsea came back at us, it all fell to bits, but this time only for a while, we got back on top of the situation. That's tremendously reassuring, especially to see it against a decent outfit.

I do wonder, though, how things would have unfolded if Conte had sprung Fibreglass earlier, we started dropping off a lot once he was on, and he really started to find punishing passes. Also, a shame no-one repaid the little snide for his pre-season lunge on Klavan, wouldn't have broken my heart to see him flying through the air upside down.

Real progress and evolution, on top of performance and result. Just ****ing brill. What a way to start a weekend.

I think mane is the key to beating the 'weaker teams. His direct running will pay dividends, damn the ACN

I didn't say otherwise, just pre-empting someone saying we don't struggle against top teams that come out and play.

It's not nit-picking, and if you won't say it, I will. Completely unprofessional pair of spunk-bubbles. But as I said above, I love to hear the anguish in the voices of "neutrals" these days, it's an extra sweetener.

Oh I know, didn't mean to come across as argumentative there (tho re-reading it I did). More just pointing out that regardless of past performances we've 3 of our hardest games of the season out of the way and we're in 4th! Great stuff.

Just makes you realise that you have to enjoy these moments. I'm always worried about consistency but I think for the first time I can say fcuk worrying about what lies ahead.
