Haters haters come about?
Ah thought not
Well done blue men

 

[jazzy]

Convinced we'd lose.

Totally made up that I was wrong.

Great win with a gritty performance and everyone put in a shift.

 

[Bullens Rd]

I'd rather lose James against an attacking team that is flying and will put us under lots of pressure in defence than against a team where we are expected to take the game to them from the off. He's not been right since the derby as others have pointed out, just hope he's back for mid-week.

Still a winable game even with our injuries. Werner and Havertz haven't been at the races this season, but the team always has a few goals in them, and their defence has tightened right up since they got Mendy in goal. We're going to need to get crosses into the box, so I want to see Bernard and Iwobi in the side.

Could smell the victory a mile off.

Keane MOTM. Got on the end of everything that came in the box.

 

[Wat Tyler]

Just want to say as someone who doesn’t rate Pickford credit where it is due for that James save on to the post

 

[davek]

Three points taken off Liverpool's main title rival. They;re celebrating tonight, make no mistake about that.

Watch us lose against Leicester and the rest of the trash.

 

[Chegsy]

4 CBs for the win.

 

[deipnosophist]

That was for all of you who shyt yourselves before a ball was kicked...yellowbellies.

Agreed. You have been saying all week that this game was a banker and I backed you up all the way. We should both feel very exonerated in harbouring such confidence ( unlike many on here who were very pessimistic)

 

[marnie]

That’s all we ask for. 100% commitment and effort.

THIS

 

[kenada_blue]

Controversial but we dont win that with James playing.

I think we'd still have a chance.

It's the defence and midfield that looked balanced which was the problem, not the forward line.

If Siggy was his usual invisible self..we more than likely would've lost it. But he turned up.

 

[carolinablue232]

Didn’t watch but glad we won

Deserved?

It actually probably was.

 

[davek]

Is that davek crying there in the corner?

No, inside your head...where I reside.

 

[Pabbers]

Im the jinx, i wont watch anymore.

 

[witchdoc187]

Fantastic performance. Love the battle. Richarlison v James was great battle.

 

[Bluebirdie]

Sake! Should have put a few bob on us at the bookies!

And Gylfi scoring
