Ffs Firmino, why is he not just shooting there, it was almost an open goal.

[ryodi]

At least the own goal was offside.

[glb]

Five shots on target. No goals. Obviously.

 

Are we Brighton in disguise?

[gospvg]

So many chances but final shot is always poor!

[glb]

I’d say ‘just hit it Bobby’ but he’d probably hit the bar.

 

[ryodi]

Goal! Nice finish from Jones.

[glb]

 A GOAL! A BASTARD GOAL!

 

AND VAR DIDN’T FIND A WAY TO CHALK IT OFF!

 

[CheekyLee]

Imagine if Salah hit the deck as easily as McBurnie is doing?

[Adrock]

The lack of confidence is really causing this team grief. When they go a goal ahead they seem to invite the pressure on, very strange situation.

Lol

[ryodi]

A lucky deflection, haven’t had one of those in a while.

[CheekyLee]

Ignore the deflection. That was glorious stuff from Bobby, and the goal is fully deserved!

[glb]

 

The skill from Bobby to hit it into the Sheffield United player in order to confuse the keeper and create unstoppable spin. Can’t teach that.

[glb]

Be nice if this berk commentating could stop calling Adrian Alisson.

Firmino shanked the shot he was lucky the defender deflected it in.

Fantastic feet to get the chance to shoot though.

[glb]

Great block by David James there.

[CheekyLee]

FINALLY! After feeling like we'd never score again, let alone win, that was worth waiting for. Along with Ole's mad "websites" outburst, it's been a good day to be an LFC fan.

[gospvg]

Much better 2nd half. One game at a time. Six pointer against Chelsea next.

[Oh Danny Boy]

What’s happened to Jota? His couple of months out has seemed to go on forever, typical of our general injury issues.

He trained last week, got sick, but is back in training, along with Alisson and Fabinho.

 

 

[Adrock]

Kabak gets the nod over Phillips, the wrong decision in my opinion. Phillips has been solid since he was given his first team opportunity, Kabak on the other hand needs time to settle.

 

The bench is looking much better with Keita and Jota back. Let's hope it's a Leipzig style performance tonight.

[Chewylegs]

So Fabinho at the back?  I think I'd just kept the two centre halves (although Kabak is dodgy) and Fabinho in midfield.

[Adrock]

I think Kabak and Phillips will be the pairing against lesser teams but tonight they definitely need the experience of Fabinho, he will hopefully help Kabak through the game.

Agreed Klopp should have stuck Fabinho back into midfield 

[ryodi]

That was incredibly lucky.

[CheekyLee]

If they're drawing lines, just go with the on-field decision. Nothing clear or obvious about that, I was sure he was onside.

God, I hate VAR. That's a goal.

 

In the end it's a lucky escape.

[ryodi]

Deserved lead for Chelsea. I’m going to go out on a limb and say Liverpool aren’t scoring today.

[glb]

Been coming for about 40 minutes.
