We had so many in the box there. Great work by Bradley again.

87 Nunez fouled in the centre circle and a yellow card issued. We attack again and Leno somehow saves from Nunez. Darwin can’t do anything else, but it’s somehow saved. Bradley outstanding with the cross.

Leno throws himself forward feet first and somehow managed to block the ball

91 Wilson booked for a foul on Curt. We keep the ball and build. Fulham clear and win a free kick on half way.

jillcwhomever · « **Reply #127 on:** January 10, 2024, 09:51:31 pm »

Bradley is hoovering the ball up everywhere at the moment.

BobPaisley3 · « **Reply #128 on:** January 10, 2024, 09:53:56 pm »

94 Foul by Bradley right on the edge of our box. Fulham sending everyone forward. Wilson takes and we clear. No one in any rush. And that’s Full Time. 2-1 Liverpool. Brilliant last 30 minutes and could have had 4 or 5 but we have to settle for 2. Tie open but we lead at half way.

Wabaloolah · « **Reply #129 on:** January 10, 2024, 09:54:14 pm »

Take that, another goal would have been nice but beggars can't be choosers.

Good comeback reds

duvva 💅 · « **Reply #130 on:** January 10, 2024, 09:55:02 pm »

Excellent fight back Reds. Curtis and Bradley drove us on. Probably deserved to win by more. But great way to go into the winter break

DelTrotter · « **Reply #131 on:** January 10, 2024, 09:55:45 pm »

Great second half, not the biggest lead but I have absolutely zero doubt we will be going through to the final.

Nick110581 · « **Reply #132 on:** January 10, 2024, 09:55:52 pm »

Should gave had another one but happy with that

Wabaloolah · « **Reply #133 on:** January 10, 2024, 09:55:56 pm »

Good subs again from Klopp, totally changed the game

Samie · « **Reply #134 on:** January 10, 2024, 09:55:57 pm »

We turn up in the seocnd half AGAIN.

Chakan · « **Reply #135 on:** January 10, 2024, 09:55:57 pm »

Great comeback, one mistake was really the only great chance they had. We came bac nicely in the second half, think Nunez was a good catalyst to spur us on.

Grav really needs to up his game, he had a poor one tonight.

Bradley was fabulous, great game!

Well done lads.

jillcwhomever · « **Reply #136 on:** January 10, 2024, 09:55:58 pm »

We badly need a break and for some of our injured to come back.

Fromola · « **Reply #137 on:** January 10, 2024, 09:56:06 pm »

Enjoyed that, thought we played well most of the game and not as stressful as a league game knowing there's still the second leg. Should have scored more really but good to take the lead back.

No VAR always a bonus.

Draex · « **Reply #138 on:** January 10, 2024, 09:56:19 pm »

Nunez game changer.

Don’t think Elliot works as a Salah replacement, or he needs far more pace alongside him.

Need Diaz to stop coming inside and Gomez is terrible on the overlap, makes our play one dimensional.

AllyouneedisRush · « **Reply #139 on:** January 10, 2024, 09:56:27 pm »

Poor in the first half, very nice second.. Great subs.

Liked Gakpos movement, and Bradley was superb..

2-1 half time... could be better, could be worse.

Ray K · « **Reply #140 on:** January 10, 2024, 09:56:31 pm »

Up the second half reds.

TipTopKop · « **Reply #141 on:** January 10, 2024, 09:56:32 pm »

Could have been more, but the turnaround was welcome, at various parts it looked like it wasn't gonna happen, great turnaround.

Red Beret · « **Reply #142 on:** January 10, 2024, 09:56:39 pm »

I'll take that. As usual, the opposition find several more gears against us, help from the ref, and their goal leads a charmed life. But a win is a win, even if the lead is slender.

Starting to wish we'd had Chelsea in the semis.

Zlen · « **Reply #143 on:** January 10, 2024, 09:57:13 pm »

Really fun game, good result, on to the rest now.

stockdam · « **Reply #144 on:** January 10, 2024, 09:57:23 pm »

Much better 2nd half. Gomez and Bradley were very good. Jones and Jota are really good running with the ball.

Disappointed that we couldn’t score a third as it looked like we would. Excellent goal by Gakpo……made it look easy.

It’s going to be a tough 2nd leg but at least we are ahead.

Fruity · « **Reply #145 on:** January 10, 2024, 09:57:25 pm »

much better 2nd half and probably could have had another. Nunez as a sub really changes things up. Great cameo by him.

Fulham have to attack now so hopefully that will give us opportunities

meady1981 · « **Reply #146 on:** January 10, 2024, 09:57:33 pm »

Fantastic 3 points.

YNWA.A · « **Reply #147 on:** January 10, 2024, 09:57:38 pm »

Relentless.

Darwin and Cody were immense, changed the whole game but credit to the whole group for fighting back and getting the win

Unlucky not to get a penalty and score at least one more.

Love watching this side play and grow together

kennedy81 · « **Reply #148 on:** January 10, 2024, 09:57:45 pm »

And away goals don't count, so it's 2-0.

Get in.

Magz50 · « **Reply #149 on:** January 10, 2024, 09:57:48 pm »

Good result! Shoulda had a clear pen.

Persephone · « **Reply #150 on:** January 10, 2024, 09:57:56 pm »

That'll do nicely. The guts to get back into the game was impressive but I'd really like a boring 2-0 win some day. Bradley and Jones were excellent tonight and either would be worthy of MOTM. Hope the lads get some well deserved rest over the next ten days.

killer-heels · « **Reply #151 on:** January 10, 2024, 09:58:01 pm »

Thought Mac Allister and Jota were really good.

Father Ted · « **Reply #152 on:** January 10, 2024, 09:58:03 pm »

Much improved second half, and it needed to be as we were lethargic first half. Subs were timely and helped turn the game, as did Jota slotting into the gap behind Nunez where space was opening up.

Gakpo's finish was very tidy, as it often is. They won't be parked on their own 18 yard line in the second leg you'd presume.

Good subs again from Klopp, totally changed the game

I thought we were all over them from the start of the second half tbf.

Fulham seemed to sense they could get us on the break once we brought the two attackers on and they had that chance but it was a false sense of security. They couldn't handle Nunez at all (or Jota all night).

robertobaggio37 · « **Reply #154 on:** January 10, 2024, 09:58:24 pm »

Someone should tell Konate to attack a loose ball and to never let it bounce

The return leg will be a cracker so there's that, one goal advantage is the bare minimum but it is what it is. Good thing we won.

Hope we'll see some players coming to the squad soon because we're very thin in numbers.

94 Foul by Bradley right on the edge of our box.

Robinson went full superman pose well before he got near Bradley. Would have been a travesty if they had scored from that.

2-1 flatters Fulham. Jota, Nunez, Bradley, Jones, all great, working hard to make things happen.

Andy82lfc · « **Reply #156 on:** January 10, 2024, 09:58:27 pm »

Teams must score against us an then have an instant sinking feeling of dread

Must be on for a record with the amount of wins from losing positions now.

Kopenhagen · « **Reply #157 on:** January 10, 2024, 09:58:36 pm »

Great comeback. Hopefully a few back for the return leg to put this to bed.

Excellent substitutions from Klopp.

MotM Mac Allister for me.

LovelyCushionedHeader · « **Reply #158 on:** January 10, 2024, 09:58:39 pm »

Good stuff! Went from not looking like scoring to really deserving more than the one goal lead.

We really need to be starting with three out and out forwards. Elliott on the right really blunts us.

Quote from: Chakan on January 10, 2024, 09:55:57 pm

Grav really needs to up his game, he had a poor one tonight.

Thought he actually started the 2nd half brightly.

What is handball now days? Nunez is brilliant. Bradley was very impressive tonight.
