Obviously Bradley was sensational, but Jota and Macca were great too. Both of them are brilliant and hugely influential players for us. I love how Macca goes about his work in the midfield and our front three must be a nightmare to play against.
Good times!
pleasant Wednesday evening match.
i wonder how Joe âi really fancy chelsea tonightâ is feeling
Youâre chirpy for a Wednesday night Walshy
Famous last words
Weâre all chirpy tonight Maria, even @cynicaloldgit
Chelsea could/should have had a penalty in the second half.
The one in the first half was never a penalty.
We hammered them, that decision is irrelevant.
Itâs not one to âeven outâ poor decisions against us.
Overall this was a statement performance.
Brilliant from Bradley, Jota, MacAllister and Darwin. I really thought Nunez annoyed them so much. Pity he didnât score, but he still was brilliant.
but his chirpiness lasts for about 5 minutes.
Anyhow full comment on the game, I thought we bossed them, really was surprised how dominant we were in that first half, Pen missed seemed to give them a bit of a uplift but Domâs goal sort of killed them.
We then played really well after their goal just to keep it for a few minutes and they got more desperate.
Anyhow puts to bed the traditional top 6 streak, hopefully can put another win in that column on Sunday.
That midfield is something else.
As for pens, yes with one, nah with the other but as I said if you are relying on that you are desperate.
Yep. With all the eulogising about young Bradley today- and fully deserved it is, too- the performance of our midfield has been overlooked. All three of them were exceptional today.
He predicted us to beat Arsenal on Sunday
so so so proud!!
Totally dominant.
Weâve owed them a hiding for a little while and, in all honesty it should have been much much worse for them.
Conor - superb⌠but EVERYONE was on it today.
I didnât throw fiver on Joe to score tonight for a change so im âupâ there too.
âŚand Dry January can fuck right off now and all.
A good day
A shout out to Ibou who probably wonât get as many plaudits (due to a 20 year old putting his name out there to the footballing world) but I thought he was monstrous again tonight. Itâs ok Ibou, the games overâŚyou can let Palmer out your pocket now.
Take THAT you jammy money doping plastic cunts!!
16 more PL wins to go this season
One of the best performances under Klopp. Jota, Bradley, Mac Allister, Nunez, Diaz, Van Dijk, Konate, Szoboszlai, Jones, Gomez were tremendous. Thatâs ten out of eleven and Alisson doesnât get in because he had nothing to do.
Itâs impossible to pick one player without feeling youâre being unfair to everyone else. Gun to head: Jota and thatâs because I think he was the most valuable. Got the all important first goal while delivering a masterclass on how to play the position. Bradley a close second. Another assist to go with an expertly taken goal and some fantastic touches. If there was anyone still doubting his potential and talent, heâd be fully convinced after tonight. Also Mac Allister: what a fucking performance. He bossed them, start to finish. Hopefully, heâs good to go on Sunday.
Oh and Nunez is fucking cursed. Thereâs no other way to explain it. Heâs set the PL record for hitting the bar in a single match. And he was still a menace and got another assist. If his luck ever turns, heâs going to record an insane number of goals.
Paul Tierney had a good game. Not just saying it because we won well. He has form for ruining our games with some disastrous and one-sided decisions, but today he had a good game.
Chelsea had one decent shout for a penalty (the other claim was nowhere near a penalty) and they did not get the decision. It would have been a bit of a soft one to concede, but we have all definitely seen them given.
Pochettino said in his post match interview that we were much the better side, and their penalty claim wouldnât have made the difference. Is right.
Now to our magnificent side.
Bradley, wow, just wow. Good pace, strength, positioning, tenacity, decent passing, very good crossing and a lovely finish too. He is two games into his Premier League career and on this form it will need tip-top Trent to displace him. Full credit to that lad. Somewhere over in Leverkusen Xabi has just spoken with Frimpong to tell him he doesnât need to bring him to Liverpool in the summer because of the young Irish lad
Mac Allister was magnificent. On the defensive side of the position he got his foot in, broke up the play, closed down the space and the passing lanes, as the whole team worked together so well to not really allow Chelsea to get anything going. Then on the other side of the ball, Mac Allister passed it so well. Shorter, longer, threading the needle, it was all on display. If he keeps on like this, with the rest of the team doing its job too, we wonât look back. The position is being somewhat reinvented, as he has so much more than breaking it up and giving it simple. It enables us to get another fantastic footballer on the pitch, which in turn is helping us dominate. Long may it continue.
Darwin Nunez had a fantastic game too. He was up against Badiashile and Disasi. France have a conveyor belt of talent and in its own way, that is two big units ala Konate back there for them (I like our man more) but the point is, Darwin Nunez didnât let them settle for one second. He showed for the ball, was strong, fast, skillful, the lot. He also played with confidence and got plenty of shots off. For anyone who doesnât like the shots he misses, look up the Michael Jordan quote, as he missed more shots than anyone else in the game. Ok, more goals will come for Darwin Nunez, and tonight he hit the bar or post 4 times I think it was, and the goalie did some good saves too. I am firmly seated on the Darwin bus. Heâs a magnificent player and a crucial part of our success.
Iâm writing an essay so I will land this plane!
Jota was very good indeed, as were so many others. It was lovely to see Trent and Robbo easing back in as they need to find some rhythm.
Jurgen felt the love of the crowd again, but more than that, he heard the famous Anfield Noise as the crowd roared the team on to a fantastic win against a tricky opponent.
It was fantastic to see. Iâm so proud to be a red and like everyone else, Iâm absolutely willing us on for this run in.
