Match Thread: Liverpool v Chelsea

[Nineteenx]

An excellent half of football marred only by the penalty miss & that we really should have scored four

Over to Jurgen to make sure we’re a bit better second half & ready for Chelsea to try & start quickly after being let off a little in truth

Damn Nunez could have put the game to bed there..2 -0 is a uneasy scoreline

A professional should never need to smash in a penalty Certainly not a forward. That will crush him.

He needs to score tonight or that becomes excess baggage

Not sure it’ll crush him. The mad cunt doesn’t seem to give a fuck. Be a much bigger backlash if it’s still 0-0 though.

Brilliant half. Our press and work rate to regain possession is absolutely spot on at the moment.
Playing good football,defending well, scoring goals.
Dare I say it? this team has "clicked".

Honestly as long as we win 3-0 or 4-0 and get gets a goal in one of the next 1-3 games I don't think it needs to sit too heavy on him.

To be fair I don't think it will anyway - if there is one thing Núñez doesn't do when me misses, it's hide.

Absolutely buzzing for Bradley.

They say if it lasts for more than 4 hours you should call your doctor.....**

So he should be good for another couple of hours.

(**.....or write your local paper).

Very good sir.

Other than the pen, Nunez has been superb.

Best half of football from us this season. The press has been phenomenal.

And dare I say it but maybe Mac can play as a 6? He's certainly grown into the role since he's come back into the side.

And to think we have Salah, Endo, Trent, Robbo and Thiago all waiting to fight their way back into the team!

Best half v Chelsea under Klopp, excellent all round.

Connor Bradley… wow!!!

[HLOGI]

So dominant and felt like we were in 3rd gear. That young fella at right back I tell you in the words of Ian Bishop "Connor Bradley, remember the name"

Macca just oozes some Redondo/Busquets like class. What a player and what a Manager Jurgrn Klopp to see such vast improvement in a new position to coach the defensive side so quickly just amazing.

Has someone done a brain transplant on Tierney?

On another night Chelsea are given 2 penalties and our goal is ruled out. Not that those would have been the right calls, but they would definitely be the traditional Tierney calls.

He has been very fair, credit where its due lol.It helps that Brookes on VAR has also used common sense. If Virgil had moved his knee 6 inches closer to Gallagher var would have given it
