Absolutely buzzing for him.

Ditto. A confident Bobby will do wonders for attacking play. A general comment, I think our attacking play is resembling the 17/18 season.

Nearly beat Dirk's record of shortest hat trick distance - but there in lies the intelligence of getting into those positions. Not just a false 9 but a number 9

Kuyt's treble against the mancs did come to mind. We're often in a position with Bobby where when he scores we say he really needed them, and I think he needed those today again. He's obviously more than the goals but here's hoping this season his tally is better than it was in the last two seasons.

Delighted for him, I can't remember the last time he scored a hat trick.
Hopefully he tears the mancs a new one next week

Love a no-look Bobby finisher. Had the time of his life today. Plenty of ball in acres of space, runners allover the place and defenders bricking it. Sublime game. Man of the match by a mile behind Mo, Trent, Joel, Hendo, Robbo, Big Virg, Kelleher and a quietly splendid Naby.

He's not even hit top form yet; he's still getting there. We will be kicking arse and taking names when everybody's firing fit. Can't wait.

Travelling Kop really outdid themselves today. They sang the Sadio000000000 song loud and strong as well, which sadly doesn't happen that often at Anfield these days. Of course, Bobby deserved every bit of it at the end there. Outstanding performance. That is what you want to see our forwards do... Take the chances, put away the tap-ins instead of missing open clear chances. We'll rule the world soon enough if we keep this up.

He was making runs in between the CBs all game too... dominating the ball like we did, I half expected more entry passes in from Robbo and TAA..

You know we are playing well when our entry passes are uncontested half the time - credit to Bobby's inside out type of work rate plus he had a number of pressures and blocked balls that were dangerous

It was a Dirk Kuyt hat trick versus United performance.

We are a much better team when Bobby is confident and looking to get into the six yard.
