Brilliant second half, full of control, quality and purpose. Seemingly a different team to what we've seen in the past 2 weeks. Onwards and upwards!

[Draex]

Signs of life.. Finally..

Good routine win.

[1892tillforever]

A pleasing afternoon, and an excellent response. On to the land of boos.

[wemmick]

Grew into it. Win at Everton and we're in business. Good on the players. They dug deep today.

[Wabaloolah]

Phewww, very good second half, great win. Endo was much better second 45 and you could see Diogo gradually improve with every minute. Decent win for the GD too on City. People keep talking about them having to lose but a draw could very well be fine, probably not one to worry about for the next 6 days though, just gotta get through this horrible schedule then we'll see. 1 down!!

I think playing away from Anfield might actually help the next couple, West Ham got battered today too

[meady1981]

Utterly shameful stuff in the half time thread.
And don’t give me your ‘we need somewhere to vent’ or ‘you thought that 1st half was good?’ shit.

Tell you who's rubbish, that Gravenberch bloke, never does anything

[jillcwhomever]

Good to see the big man smiling again

[Wool]

Phew. Much needed 3 points!

[Caston]

Thank fuck for that!

Much better 2nd half

[crewlove]

Much better second half. Happy for Ryan and Gakpo. Maybe we should play him more on the left?

[TepidT2O]

I think this would be horrific and we’d really struggle.

Ok, we were turgid inthe first half, but we put the game to bed in the second.

These players coming back from injury take time to come back to form.  Part from Trent.  Who appears to have forgotten he was injured.

[gerrardisgod]

Gary Neville sounded devastated at the end

Barely said a word when the pens were going on in the other game, fucking shameless.

[Hestoic]

Get in!

[cdav]

Job done today at the start of a tough week, hopefully similar results in the next 2. Could still make it easier for ourselves by playing in the right areas at key times, but lets hope we can get some momentum

[Red_Mist]

Good stuff. Still in there swinging.

For as bad as we managed the first we were excellent in the second. 

[Paul_h]

job well done boys..

back to scoring 3 a game..hopefully.
Endo, Robbo put in some shift today..Gakpo too
Nice bounce back by Quansah. was excellent today.

[Jean Girard]

Much more like ourselves 2nd half. Well done reds.

[Gnurglan]

3-1!
A much better second half where we controlled things. Good to see goals from Gravenberch and Jota. The ’best’ goal was TAA's. Lovely freekick. Good that we managed to respond to some poor performances. We need to win to give ourselves a chance in the title race and tonight we did that. Proud of the team.

[Tonyh8su]

Felt like our Liverpool in the second half there. Diogo Jota is a beast in front of goal. Like I said at half time, they've kept us dreaming for one more week at least.

Travelling Kop absolutely brilliant in the end.

Great goal from Grav.

Gakpo MOTM for me.

Subs showed when they came on why they were all dropped, I think. Mo hooking shots, Nunez living offside, Mac and Szob giving the ball away.

Huge 3 points.

[GreatEx]

Excellent result, I had my doubts until I saw the starting lineup which made me strangely confident, knowing we weren't simply fulfilling the definition of insanity. Really chuffed for Grav that he scored the key goal, hopefully that's the start of a great career. I hadn't written him off as a Liverpool player, but I had written off his debut season.

[stockdam]

Didn’t see our 2nd goal but that was a much better and much needed 2nd half. Away from home against a decent side and we scored 3 good goals. Sounded like Jurgen did his fist pumps to our fans there.

I thought Gakpo was very good. Gravenberch did well for our third as did Gakpo. Jota is our best finisher and it was a great goal.

Nice to start to play well again and to score.

[Father Ted]

Desperately needed win and confidence booster. Really good finishes from both Jota and Gravenberch.

[In the Name of Klopp]

Much better in the second half. Much better. Btw. It's good to have Jota back scoring scruffy goals. I missed those 

[MonsLibpool]

Very happy the performance before the subs were made. We just looked compact, confident, in control and we limited them well. We were patient and went back to basics (e.g avoid silly errors on the ball).

When the "bigger" players came in, I felt less comfortable because we were less compact and Fulham were getting a lot of space to build attacks. Thankfully, they did nothing.

It's a team game and we're not this or that individual FC.

[danm77]

Much, much better in the second half. We started passing the ball a lot quicker, pressed and closed down and scored two good goals.

[Robinred]

Thought we played pretty well, totally controlled the second half

Yep, agreed. However, it has to be said that we’re still short of our best. We created good chances, and played with more urgency and pace in our passing 2nd half. That passing was often wayward, and sadly Mo looks so slow, for him, and Darwin continues to give a good impression of a competition winner.

[rafathegaffa83]

Much better second half. Hopefully we can build on that.

I dread to think

[Nick110581]

Half time thread for was embarrassing.

[thejbs]

Utterly shameful stuff in the half time thread.
And don’t give me your ‘we need somewhere to vent’ or ‘you thought that 1st half was good?’ shit.

First half was sluggish and we conceded a terrible goal. The second half performance was head and shoulders sbove it in almost every way. I’m sure Klopp didn’t go in at half time and tell them they were amazing.

[Fromola]

Actually managed that second half really well, although we got the 3rd goal to make it easier.

Played well other than a really poor end to the first half and managed it well in terms of the squad.

Let's see if we can win the next two, big ask but neither team are great.

[RyanBabel19]

Missed the first half but the 2nd half was the best i’ve seen us in a while

Excellent control and everyone looked more relaxed. Could have scored more

[meady1981]

First half was sluggish and we conceded a terrible goal. The second half performance was head and shoulders sbove it in almost every way. I’m sure Klopp didn’t go in at half time and tell them they were amazing.

I’m sure Klopp didn’t go in there and completely write them off like the idiots in the thread.

[rowan_d]

Good second half performance, will probably need to improve again when we face a team that wants it more than Fulham did.

[12C]

Loved how players turned and ran with the ball today. Turned the marker and hit the space.
Effectively

[Fromola]

I thought we were decent on the ball throughout but in the first half we'd make the wrong decision time and again in the final third. We seemed to play a lot calmer second half and make the right passes.

Great controlled win for such a shit first XI.
