Reds were coming on here pretending to be blues slating me for saying that he's never anywhere near the goalscorer.

He never is! His defenders will say, oh he's so good it's always someone else's man that scores, but he's a centre back who never seems to be in that position where the striker is scoring... In the centre of the goal, the first two goals last night, I saw on the highlights, he's so slow to react and his positioning is terrible.

Got to be the worst player to win the poty. If mahrez scored that pen, the title would have been over because of his clumseyness. He does this clever trait by making sure he's always in front of the camera when they win, always there standing out when they celebrate, it masks over his defending mishaps. If he played for anyone else he wouldn't have got close to that poty award. Just shielded by 3 defensive midfielders.

He's the modern day Rio Ferdinand. Great on the ball but not actually that great a defender. Rio, IMHO, was the most overrated player of his generation. VVD,, currently holds this title

Take it as a sign of respect. They were rattled. Underdogs in their own backyard, it rarely happens. We backed a tiger into a corner and felt the repercussions.

If last night was a boxing match it was two elite boxers but one demonstrating their ring craft and dynamism and one demonstrating their chin and ruthlessness. We controlled the spaces, pinned them back against the ropes and would be winning on points except for the couple they landed on our chin.

That's left us wounded, battling against the odds with a mountain to climb after six rounds gone. But we've got more fight and spirit than most, and we're about to be given an all mighty boost. We need to stick to our game plan in the second half and just be more clinical. Capture the moments when they're offered to us.

One of Klopp's all time favourite films is Rocky and its a script on that proportion that we need to write. Klopp lives for the fight, for the show of character. If anyone is capable of turning this around it is us, with a rocking Anfield crowd behind them. We've seen the impossible before and we will again. Let's make it Tuesday night. When our backs are against the walls and then piece by piece things start to go our way, the sense of inevitability builds. The opposition feels powerless against it. They are swallowed into a cauldron with no way out.

Think AC Milan, three goals in 6 minutes. Think Dortmund, 3 goals in 30 minutes. Think Olympiakos, 3 goals in a half. Think Man City, 3 goals in 20 minutes.

We've comeback against better sides, against lower odds, with worse players. Nothing is impossible. Remember the feeling of momentum, of inevitability that happens when the pieces start to fall into place. Remember the disbelief when leaving the ground, the elation as dreams become reality. Remember the glow that you wake up to the morning after the night before.

We've seen it before and it is glorious.

Feel the pain now and remember it. Get all the disappoint out of your system. Heartbreak builds character.

On Tuesday night, we go again. We go with absolute everything we've got.

We're not going anywhere.

Does mikey_LFC’s liaison officer know he’s on the internet unsupervised?

The absolute danger.

The entire history of football has been determined by which team can collect the best managerial talent to orchestrate the best playing talent. Money is one component but as United are showing now it’s not everything. Barcelona didn’t win loads between the dream team and Messi’s arrival despite having a huge budget. Mansour gave you the opportunity to get to a level playing field with the rest of the top 6 and it’s been your own good work that has meant you reached that level then surpassed it through top recruitment of both players and managers. Everton fans are envious because we wasted cash on Koeman Walsh and Klaassen. Hopefully we have not wasted our window to get up there with you. Some Everton fans should remember as well that 10 years ago when you were starting the Mansour project off you were nowhere near this level and therefore we should give Silva and Brands some time rather than demanding top 4 football in their first season.

We used to be the Mersey millionaires FFS, so we can’t say anything about spending money. The groups of fans that annoy me are the ones who try and make out their success is more worthy, or righteous, and has a mythical quality to it ‘we did it the right way’ ‘our money is earned the right way’. Basically kopites and United fans. It’s no surprise Liverpool have had relative success under FSG because they went out and identified a top manager, threw money at him, and promised him virtually unlimited funds to spend world record fees on any player in any position he wanted with no trophy target to achieve in his first four seasons. Them trying to then claim that City beating them over recent seasons is down to ‘oil money’ or ‘financial doping’ is hypocritical and laughable.

You might want to check your facts. I was on the train on Saturday and heard some Spurs fans (on their way to Wembley) discussing Klopp. The said that he has achieved so much in his two seasons at the RS.

They are obsessed with other team's money.

On the night of Istanbul I lived in Dublin. At full time (after their outrageous but amazing comeback) I was outside a pub having a cigarette. All that a RS fan wanted to talk about was Chelsea and how much they spend each minute of the day. I couldn't really believe it.

He had just witnessed one of the most amazing events in his team's history and all he wanted to talk about was Chelsea. Says it all for me.
