Terrific half of football played with confidence, intensity and desire. Chelsea look like rabbits in the headlights, they don't know what's hit them! Two brilliantly taken goals, first from Jota bulldozing his way throught the defence and then a wonderful moment for young Bradley slotting home after a lung busting run from half way. Never let Nunez near a penalty again though, I can't have been the only one who wasn't even a little surprised to see him miss.

Whisper it quietly too but Tierney has had a decent game so far, not falling for any of their bullshit dives, booking them as they lost their heads and getting the big calls right.

More of the same please lads!

Typical Liverpool not to score than penalty. Never make things easy eh?

But he's our Darwin 😁. Fabulous team.

Quick question... how could Jurgen Klopp want to leave this!?

Imperious.

We've been fantastic.

Typical Darwin.

Genuinely think Bradley might be the best right back in the world right now. Change my mind.

Zaffarious · « **Reply #7 on:** January 31, 2024, 09:06:55 pm »

so to get tierney onside klopp had to leave. makes sense.

nunez... words fails me

Very good but not in the clear yet. Delighted for Bradley.

Is Darwin our second penalty taker? Strange choice.

Snail · « **Reply #9 on:** January 31, 2024, 09:07:03 pm »

Well in, although uh, we should be three up.

deano2727 · « **Reply #10 on:** January 31, 2024, 09:07:04 pm »

We're playing very good stuff.

Mac should have been taking that pen.

naYoRHa2b · « **Reply #11 on:** January 31, 2024, 09:07:05 pm »

We've been excellent. If Darwin scores the pen it's game over.

What a player Bradley is looking like

Spectacular half, what a performance.

Best half of the season? We’ve battered them.

With Tierney on side we’re going to win the league..

This midfield three is exceptional.. Bradley, what a hit..

Nunez is an enigma

Klopp is leaving so his mission is complete

Phineus · « **Reply #17 on:** January 31, 2024, 09:07:17 pm »

Immense. Why would you leave this Jurgen?!

Pump it into your veins and stay lad.

meady1981 · « **Reply #18 on:** January 31, 2024, 09:07:19 pm »

I've never been as sure of anything that he would hit the post.

Caligula? · « **Reply #19 on:** January 31, 2024, 09:07:21 pm »

Brilliant first half. I'm not sure why Macallister didn't take that pen thoughgiven how good he is on them which would surely have wrapped up the game.

Fruity · « **Reply #20 on:** January 31, 2024, 09:07:23 pm »

Bradley boy! And Macallister

Bit of a downer that penalty miss though on what was a superb half of football

No complacency now and get the 3rd.

rafathegaffa83 · « **Reply #21 on:** January 31, 2024, 09:07:23 pm »

Has Paul Tierney been replaced by a clone or hypnotized? Answers on a postcard

We've more than deserved it. Crowd are well up for it. Pleased for Bradley. Wish Mac Allister would have taken the pen

lgvkarlos · « **Reply #22 on:** January 31, 2024, 09:07:23 pm »

What a half of football, absolutely sensational.

So many top performances but Bradley has been next level.

JRed · « **Reply #23 on:** January 31, 2024, 09:07:25 pm »

The width of a post away from a perfect first half. Darwin must be due some good luck soon surely.

kennedy81 · « **Reply #24 on:** January 31, 2024, 09:07:29 pm »

They've been fantastic tonight. If you're not enjoying this then there's no hope for you.

88_RED · « **Reply #25 on:** January 31, 2024, 09:07:31 pm »

Is this the same Paul Tierney??

semit5 · « **Reply #26 on:** January 31, 2024, 09:07:31 pm »

Is Paul feeling ok?

Well in reds.

Dree · « **Reply #27 on:** January 31, 2024, 09:07:35 pm »

My head is gone at the decision to let Darwin take the pen. Just the opposite of the player you want!!

We’ve been great though. Overwhelming Chelsea in every duel.

DelTrotter · « **Reply #28 on:** January 31, 2024, 09:07:36 pm »

Brilliant performance, albeit against an absolutely woeful team. Mac Allister has been incredible as have Ibou and Bradley. Get a 3rd then we can chill for Sunday or continue to hammer them, either is fine!

Quick question... how could Jurgen Klopp want to leave this!?

I was just saying that to a mate.... I understand he's tired and respect his decision, but I wish he'd hang around and enjoy the fruits of his labour :'(

That was going to be my biggest takeaway from the first half, he’s gotten the big decisions right, despite what Joe Cole thinks

With pennos like that, who can blame him

rob1966 · « **Reply #32 on:** January 31, 2024, 09:07:48 pm »

Absolutely battering these, keep it going lads.

Darwin so unlucky with the pen, the fucking posts must have tractor beams in them

TAA66 · « **Reply #33 on:** January 31, 2024, 09:07:49 pm »

I predicted 4-0 - should be that at half time!

Best first half I’ve seen us play All season. Pity Nunez missed . Another 2 goals second half please

Dazzer23 · « **Reply #37 on:** January 31, 2024, 09:07:56 pm »

That was a quite sensational 45 minutes of football.

jonnypb · « **Reply #38 on:** January 31, 2024, 09:07:57 pm »

Been brilliant.

But ffs when Szobo is on the pitch, Salah and Nunez should be no where near the pens.

"Bobber" Thanks :) · « **Reply #39 on:** January 31, 2024, 09:07:57 pm »

Tierney man of the half so far. Fair dos, didn’t think he have a performance like that in him
