To all you goal difference pre-match weirdos. Shut the hell up next time.

+2 no? Slowly slowly catchly monkley.

[Persephone]

Made hard bloody work of that but I'll take the result all day long. I just wish it didn't take conceding to jolt us out of our comatose football and get us showing a bit of urgency.

That's the Liverpool blue print this year.

[Red Beret]

Another one of these tinpot clubs raising their game to superhuman levels and given free rein to clobber our players. Fuck off back to the Championship you thug cnuts.

Great win!

[stockdam]

Tighter than I thought it was going to be after a fairly early goal. We started to go to sleep and miss tackles and let them in.

Elliott, Jones, Robertson and Gakpo had decent games.

What a strike from Mac Allister just when we needed it.
Lovely ball from Robertson and a great run and header from Gakpo……that was not an easy header.

Why did the ref blow just as Elliott was about to put a cross in. Ref was seeing fouls and goal kicks etc that nobod else saw.

3 points is the key thing and we dug in and made our possession count.

Keep going and winning.

[StevoHimself]

Well that’s the title gone. Can’t be dropping points to these shit c*nts Fucking fantastic from the lads to keep going and put us back on top!
Mac Alister with a Stevie G moment with that goal!

My thoughts exactly.

[TALBERT]

Jones looked really sharp.

He has to start ahead of Grav

[red1977]

Get in!! bit my nails down to the third knuckle. What a strike from MacAlister, that number 10 on his back really suits him. Robbo was great too, don't think we crossed the ball first half. He provided the width and the ball in for Gakpo (nice header by the way) was just what we needed.

Will sleep well.

[thaddeus]

The much maligned (on here) Robbo and Gakpo played a big part in that win.  Macca was a different class again but Robbo's energy and natural left footed-ness definitely made a difference for us.

Great to have Curtis back and for once the deity of injuries sided with us and let Konate run off what initially looked like a knee ligament injury.

Bring on the Mancs.

[Caps4444]

Reason we don’t start well? Or just coincidence?

[markedasred]

Peter Reid in the stands chewing Rushie's ear off hahaha. Blues will disown him.

Cheer up Peter Reid is still a favourite Kop song of mine

[1892tillforever]

1-0 is never enough for us, it just isn't. Thankfully the goal came early enough for us to get the subs on and respond. Lost the plot either side of half time.

Just needed to win the game tonight, but is it possible for us to just win 2-0 with a low key/measured performance and save our energy?

You could argue they did us a favour by scoring at that point because we looked pedestrian. An equaliser with a few minutes left would have been a disaster. As it was, as usual, we needed the jeopardy to pick up the tempo.

[Peabee]

Looks like he was telling him a good story. 

[meady1981]

To all you goal difference pre-match weirdos. Shut the hell up next time.

I feel like I constantly find myself saying ‘are you sure you’ve seen us play before?’

[Gnurglan]

3-1!
We got the job done. Thought we lacked sharpness in the first half. Our goal was a little lucky. We were on the other side of that luck with Bradley's own goal in the second half. Was surprised to see Salah substituted. However, the introduction of Rob
ertson felt important. He energized the team. Wonderful strike from MacAllister! And then a relief of a moment when Gakpo scored the third. Job done. Three points. Top of the league!

[Paul_h]

just goes to show..

there are no easy games in the premierL

happy for Gapko to get a goal.

[Father Ted]

Never doubted it.

Was looking like one of those disastrous nights we used to have in the bad old days, dropping points on a run-in to bottom of the table shite, then MacAllister stepped onto that ball. Fantastic goal.

Was a bit bemused Salah came off when we needed a goal, and so was he by the looks of it, but it all worked out in the end. Happy for Gakpo to get a goal too, and he put himself about a lot more than he has done recently (don't think he's been as bad as people have been saying like).

[Caston]

Was started to get a bit worried and then Mac does that 

Robbo, Elliott and Gakpo were good when they came on.

[Redley]

It’s a nice way to beat that sandwich hating c*nt

[Oldmanmick]

Easy as yer like 

[WhereAngelsPlay]

thank God, nerve wreckig after 1-1 but we got it done

That sick feeling, like your arse is about to blow.

[TALBERT]

How many corners 13 or 14?

[Persephone]

Ref was a disgrace as usual. How the hell was the Konate hack not even looked at? It was a scissor kick at above shin height.

[Charlie Adams fried egg]

To all you goal difference pre-match weirdos. Shut the hell up next time.

Just about to say the same. It’s as though some people have never watched us before, they never learn. It’s the online version of shouting shoot at the game.

[Cruiser]

3 points, job done. First half erformance no so good, need to sort our shit out. Second half subs made the difference.

[duvva 💅]

Jones looked really sharp.

All the subs did. So important to us

[jillcwhomever]

Fantastic result!

The performance was rubbish to be honest. Up till their goal, we hadn't created a single clearcut chance and we were playing as if we were 3-0 up. We need to be starting games better because a better team would have punished us today.

Also, the arrogance before the game was mad. One condescending poster even told me that I needed to "grow a pair" because I pointed out our tendency to make heavy weather of it against the worst teams. The same type of posters will look at the scoreline and say "see, it was comfortable".

We need to do better in these games.

We just need to win, at this stage I can't be bothered how we play to a degree. Even when we went to 1-1, I didn't think we'd do anything other than win the game eventually.

[swoopy]

Relief

[Hazell]

Another one of these tinpot clubs raising their game to superhuman levels and given free rein to clobber our players. Fuck off back to the Championship you thug cnuts.

Great win!

Take that, gonna be a lot more nervy moments this season so good to get used to them

Need to see it again but that challenge on Konate looked like a red card too.

[RedDeadRejection]

Come what may. I'm proud of this team this season. A "transition" season remember

[Persephone]

Beardy Cody is the upgrade we were all waiting for. He looked up for the fight tonight. Glad he got a goal, hopefully the racist twats who have been abusing him, fall down a flight of stairs.

[cptrios]

Nearly had a heart attack watching the replay of Konate's leg getting scissored. Thought it was much, much worse than it turned out to be. Massive relief!

[Lynndenberries]

Robertson was incredible when he came on. We needed that width in the first half.

[Kopenhagen]

Need to see it again but that challenge on Konate looked like a red card too.

Yeah that was scandalous. Not a mention on the comms.

[WhereAngelsPlay]

He has to start ahead of Grav

He would've If their rehab was reversed.

[1892tillforever]

Great win!

They didn't, though. We were just awful tonight until the final 20 or so.

[Red Eyed]

I said I’d take a scrappy 1-0 win off Nunez’s arse. Wasn’t too far off.

[Caps4444]

Just keep on winning.
United have just lost Varane, so Maguire and Evans on the weekend.
Only concern I have is 1 clean sheet in our last 9 league games.

[TALBERT]

Please now all tune in to the Chelsea Vs Utd game


Man Utd are allowing Chelsea so much space…

Back line of Wan Bissaka. Maguire   Evans.   Dalot

[chromed]

Game changed from the bench once again, Robbo was fantastic, and Cody took his goal well.

Macca though, oh my word, outstanding.

Back to the top we go.

[Nick110581]

Robertson was incredible when he came on. We needed that width in the first half.

Gomez doesn’t work at LB in games like that.
