      That Insigne did F**k all - I was expecting so much more from him and Hamsik.

      That’s down to Liverpool suffocating the life out of them - played them off the park an nobody would think 5-0 would have flattered us.

      So why did we go through with a 1-0 as goal difference the same and they beat us 2-0 didn't they at their place ?

      Nah we matched the result at their ground which meant none of us had a better result against eachother so it came down to goals scored over all I think. Otherwise it would have been like away goals which is why if they scored we had to win by two.

      Not sure though because I don't know when it moves from goals and cards etc. to all the other stuff like dick size and underware colour.

      In short I mean uefa make things so f**king hard to understand we could have gone through on anything haha

      We look like we are getting back to the levels of last season to me.

      The amount and types of chances we are creating the last few games are the same as we were last season.

      Just need the front 3 to get their shooting boots on and we'll be testing people off the park again.

      Honestly last night should have been about 6,7 or 8 - 1.

      Only mane forgot his shooting boots and we have a cool as f**k keeper between the sticks.

      Nervy game as expected, but we should've been out of sight before Allison made that save. Another great European night at Anfield.

      There is every argument. You're picking a selective picture. He got the ball cleanly. He's not off the ground and he has no way of pulling his leg back before contact. We have the worst refs in the world and not even ours would give a yellow for that. It goes to the heart of what is wrong with the game today. The rules are being made by people without top flight football experience. We need more ex-footballers going into governing bodies as we as management and punditry.

      Totally correct mate.
      The replay showed clear contact with the ball initially followed by bollocks going down like he'd been F***ing shot, Virgil had committed himself and his outstretched leg was in that context.
      The card should be rescinded and the joke of a referee barred from officiating high profile games until he gets his arse round to Spec Savers.

      That's what football is all about. Great match, loads of drama. Great performance from us I thought, especially considering the pressure. The defeat in Napoli hit our confidence and our performances for a good few games ( didn't affect the results too much in the PL, but did in the CL). Getting knocked out last night would have not just been bad for us in Europe, but would have been a big blow to our league chances as well in my opinion. We dealt with it really well and should have won by more than one goal against a very good side that we made look just ok last night.

      8s and 9s all over the park, thought everybody played well, even if we didn't have our shooting boots on. Get them on for Sunday and we will slaughter ManU.

      Hard to pick a MOTM, but gave it to Hendo just to annoy his detractors - thought he was excellent last night. Could have been Mo, VVD, Robbo, Alisson for that save. Big shout to Matip - been out a long time out and could have been rusty last night, but he was excellent - delighted to see it, he doesn't make me nervous the way Lovren does, good to see him stepping into Gomez' role so smoothly.

      Great result, great performance under pressure. Bring on the Mancs.

      Suggesting Bobby played poorly is more of a indictment on you than him.

      Watch again and closely. Extremely intelligent and vital to that performance.

      And ManĂŠ has everything but the final touch (except when he was offside, the b***ard!).

      They’re doing their jobs to a very high level. The rewards will come soon.

      Exactly right. Both played well. We had more fluid attacks in this game, involving combination play from our front three, outside backs and Milner or Gini, then we've had in a while. Yes there were misses, but Sadio and Bobby were important for us last night.

      Absolutely agree, finishing aside all of the front three were involved in some good build up play and did well. In particular I thought Salah looked really on it last night and Firmino was doing better linking the play up. Obviously all three should have scored a couple of goals each - Mane especially was very wasteful. Fortunately we have a top class defence and brilliant keeper who is always going to give us a chance of keeping a clean sheet. We should have been 3 or 4 up by the time Alisson made that save, but we weren't and the big Brazilian has kept us in it.

      It's a very strange and novel feeling to have complete confidence in your keeper to make those kinds of saves but we better get used to it!

      Overall an exceptional performance against a strong team in such a pressurised game  - if only our finishing in front of goal matched every other aspect of our play we'd have an exceptional result to go with our performance.

      All five across the back line were immense, particularly VVD, Matip and Robertson, and when called upon Alisson did not disappoint.

      Feel like we are clicking into gear now - now onto the game on Sunday.

      *gave MOTM to van Dijk - think any of Matip, Robbo, Alisson or Henderson could have had it though. VVD was just a rock throughout though, so many clearances, tackles and headers.

      Great result.
      Gave MOTM to VVD although it could have gone to a number of players.

      That midfield performance is why Klopp sticks with that 3 in the big games (for now at least).
      He knows they have that in them, and he just has to bring it out.

      The defense played well, the midfield played well, what a save from Alisson at the end, and the forward 3 did everything except finish.

      Signs are good that we're starting to peak at exactly the right time.

      Got to be honest can't fault anyone of those Reds last night, 'We played as a team' and that was pivotal, even my favourite 😉Henderson had a good game,

      Only our final pass and finishing needs working on, but that will come, the good thing is we are getting into position to score, the same was said last season if my dementia hasn't worsened and look how many onion bags did we hit thereafter,
      Some of you guys are still unhappy about how we set about our game play this season,  but i think we are a much better outfit, last season was phenomenal, the rock N roll football was mesmerising and a absolute joy to behold, and probably the most entertaining side to watch if you were a neutral,

      This season were are much more rounded, we can control & conquer when we feel like it, ok, it seems we're not as prolific as last season, well not yet anyways, but oppositions are finding us more difficult to understand,  whereas last season a few found us out and set up accordingly, with the help of a few buses,

      Let me remind you that we remain the only side  unbeaten in the whole f***in league,  we are presently sat on top of the EPL, and we are in the last 16 of the Champions league, if we were called Citeh, everybody would be waxing and wanking lyrically over us, and pro-reclaiming that we are untouchable and will conquer all,
      But we're only Liverpool a one season wonder who are incapable of winning anything cos Klopp has been to 5 finals and won F**k all, so it stands to reason he won't win F**k all with those horrible hub cap nicking bin dippers that hate Manc-chester.

      KUNTS !!

      What a night, what a game and one in the eye for the ref, that's the first time in all the games he's been in charge that we have won.
      Our team and fans we're bang on and so we venture forward into the next stages. The final score did not reflect what could have been a lot more but hey' onward we go. Cheers to Gow who was patient sat next to me and for putting up with my kebab.
      Good night with Gow & JD @Anfield.#ArklesCrew.

      As much as I'd like to hand it to Salah's cool finish, van Dijk's excellent defending and Alisson's great goalkeeping - I don't think the superstition of el batez starting on his kebab on the 22nd minute can be overlooked!
