We've got a lot to answer for

Nah, blame Sterling. Everything is his fault.

Kinell, just been over to RAWK and you'd swear blind they played the 2008/12 Barcelona side tonight.

We scored the goal, before I could even set my food ready & switch on the game.

After I switched on, there was a bit of a patchy period, but we rode it away after we broke their press. It took around 10-15 minutes for us to adjust, but after that we pushed up, kept recycling the ball and then started finding openings. At times, our passing was orgasmic. We cruised through the rest of the half.

The start of the 2nd half was nervy & my heart stopped beating at the Van Dijk in pain situation. That was nervy. Not at this, not at this time I kept saying. And then we lost our concentration a bit, Salah coming deep to start moves didn't work & we were being countered. And then Henderson got caught, & we gave up another chance. But we grew out of that period as well and then started bossing it again. We were back with the goals & we could've scored more.

Ox & Shaqiri together were just fantastic to watch, some of the moves our side put together with one touch play were sensational. Henderson and Wijnaldum were fantastic, Sturridge was very good in the first half, dropping deep, starting moves & confusing the heck out of Huddersfield defense. Salah & Mane came up with the goals & the full-backs were out of the world too. Lovren was really good in taking the sting out especially in dealing balls in the air, he ate them all up. He had one troublesome moment, but even that he actually dealt with in the end, it was an unlucky bobble off the attacker to another. Anyway, we rode that out. It's great to have this set of CBs with different skill-sets. Lovren is a boss in the air, while Matip is brilliant with his passing.

But I'd give the MOM to Keita. He started with his counter-pressing & goal (record time for us in PL era I hear) & he set the standards. He constantly tracked back, pressed hard & helped us win back possession. In fact, he filled the void of Bobby in pressing & that is no mean feat. He also drove forward when he could. It was a complete performance from him. This was Leipzig's Keita & we finally got to see him as he was then.

Something tells me they're in for a very rude awakening midweek.

Why is every post match post about the match an epic like War and Peace on RAWK.

If they beat Barcelona the post match posts will be like Game of Thrones.

Makes me piss when they come out with this bollocks about every trophy that City win doesn't mean anything to them ,because we've cheated our way to them. That's why they're getting all tetchy then is it , crying that they've only lost one game all season and it still might not get them the league.
Please let us do it because I can't wait for the excuses and all the scouse spittle coming our way. Will be great comedy.

Maybe us winning doesn’t mean anything but I got a feeling them not winning will boil their piss.

Just what is the point of Huddersfield?

They stood firm for a good 14 seconds

With that logic in mind should a £75m player win player of the year ahead of someone who cost £45m???

" Liverpools history, once you scratch below the surface , over the last 100 years is woefully deficient, and I defy anyone to argue otherwise. " Ok I will have a go, 16 leagues, 7 FA Cups, 8 Football League Cups, 5 Champions League, 3 UEFA Cups. If that is deficient please supply me with the teams that have done well in that time.

That’s not hist... sorry, 'istree. That’s a list of the trophies that you have won over the years.

History and winning things are not the same thing.

They are so emotional and maudlin to come out with stuff like this. "A tragedy to football if we don't win the league". Just fuck off. Try Valley Parade, Heysel and Hillsborough if you're looking for footballing tragedies. You have to respect Liverpool for the sensational season they've had, and I do, but when their fans come out with self indulgent bollocks like this, you have to wonder at their lack of self-awareness and you realise exactly why them winning the league is most neutral's worst nightmare. Everyone outside the Anfield clan understands this but they just don't get it.

Perfectly put, great post

That is a point I always make. Success is different to history. Every club has a history rich to its fans. We all love our club and understand Palace fans love Palace, Sunderland fans love Sunderland and so on. The rags and dippers just lack basic human intelligence and think their club is more special than another.

What about Bournemouth. 10 years ago they won to stay in the football league. Now look at them. Is that a richer history than Liverpool? I would say so. But they haven't won as much. The two are not related at all.
