10 minutes to go.

1-0 lead

Sounds like a Jimmy Milner situation to me.

ArtyM · 10-02-2022 10:23pm

This Diaz fella, I like the look of his jib.

tomglsn · 10-02-2022 10:25pm

That referee is a shambles. Clear penalty for Salah. Scissor tackle from behind. Var deemed it ok too. Awful decision.

Agent Coulson · 10-02-2022 10:26pm

On the not penalty that was the overcorrection of var for the Jota penalty that was given.

TitianGerm · 10-02-2022 10:26pm

Almost from Diaz.

SlickRic · 10-02-2022 10:26pm

Thiago has been spectacular this half.

facehugger99 · 10-02-2022 10:27pm

I'm glad we're not sitting back.

martyos121 · 10-02-2022 10:29pm

Robbo has been quietly outstanding tonight, if you’ll excuse the contradiction there.

citytillidie · 10-02-2022 10:29pm

Goallllllllllllll

martyos121 · 10-02-2022 10:29pm

JOEL ASSIST!

Agent Coulson · 10-02-2022 10:30pm

I love this team.

eigrod · 10-02-2022 10:30pm

What a pass by Matip. Great goal. We are brilliant.

ShamoBuc · 10-02-2022 10:30pm

Sweet assist!

TitianGerm · 10-02-2022 10:30pm

I love Joel Matip 😁

Fromvert · 10-02-2022 10:30pm

Lovely from Joel, what a baller. And Jota does what he does.

martyos121 · 10-02-2022 10:30pm

He’s like an elongated Messi is our Joel.

A cross between Bilbo Baggins and a giraffe when he goes on one of his mazy runs 😁

ArtyM · 10-02-2022 10:33pm

Jota, Wonderful signing but Liverpool recruitment team.

Charlie19 · 10-02-2022 10:33pm

Matip has been excellent and caps it off with an assist, I wonder was his last one in the CL final.

I look the cut of his jib.

Joel Matip and Harry Maguire, which one would you think cost £80m?

facehugger99 · 10-02-2022 10:36pm

So much to love about this team.

A joy and a privilege to watch.

martyos121 · 10-02-2022 10:37pm

That was a thoroughly enjoyable evening. You just cannot beat a midweek game under the lights at Anfield.

ShamoBuc · 10-02-2022 10:37pm

A very comfortable victory. Ali a bit of a spectator in fairness. Some lovely passing and pressure throughout.

Leicester players will have a few bruises on their bodies from all their falling down.

Diaz will gel very nicely into the team.

The squad is looking stronger than ever, plenty of options available.

So many reasons to be optimistic about the rest of the season.

Tusky · 10-02-2022 10:37pm

Solid debut for Diaz.

Jota, Thiago, Robbo, Matip and VVD all stood out also.

eigrod · 10-02-2022 10:38pm

Another totally dominant performance. Cruised to victory. Jurgen Klopp’s red & white army.

hadepsx · 10-02-2022 10:38pm

Loving the bite and bit of niggle in Diaz.

TitianGerm · 10-02-2022 10:39pm

If you threw Tielmans/Bellingham and a back up RB into the squad it'd be unbelievable.

martyos121 · 10-02-2022 10:40pm

I don’t want to do it to myself as the league title staying in Manchester is almost inevitable, but….

If City lose once more before we play them and we keep winning, it’s in our own hands assuming we win the goal difference battle.

citytillidie · 10-02-2022 10:42pm

Wrong thread

~Rebel~ · 10-02-2022 10:42pm

BT's coverage is so poor at times... the lads talking about how you know once Liverpool go one up that they're not gonna let it go - when our trademark this season has been not closing out games! Today was a welcome change in maintaining control.

Fromvert · 10-02-2022 10:43pm

The next few months are going to be fantastic, team coming into form and fitness to make a run at all of the competitions. The league obviously the toughest but if we can at a minimum match them until we play them in two months that's a huge game.

Infoseeker1975 · 10-02-2022 10:43pm

Great team performance and fantastic to see Diaz look like he has played with us for years, love that he has a bit of edge, movement is so good off the ball, he will get 10 goals/assists over a season. After City play Norwich, they have a tough run of games, we just need to keep the pressure on.

yourdeadwright · 10-02-2022 10:47pm

Thaigo is unbelievable at football, What a player to have

patsy sally · 10-02-2022 10:50pm

Just in the door didn't get chance to see any of the game,Diaz played very well looking at comments on here..

jones · 10-02-2022 10:54pm

We really are a different team when Thiago and Fab are in midfield.

SuperTortoise · 10-02-2022 10:54pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118613261#Comment_118613261

My MOTM tonight, just kept everything ticking over nicely, a few good interceptions as well.

SuperTortoise · 10-02-2022 10:56pm

Did'nt want to jinx it earlier! by i'll say it, i think we might win the league, i just have a feeling.

Charlie19 · 10-02-2022 10:57pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118613157#Comment_118613157

;) It's great to see him get a good run of games and see him in full flight because he gives that different play of coming out from the back with ball.

Fitz* · 10-02-2022 10:58pm

Second half much much better. Especially when Elliot came on and the midfield switched with Thiago a bit deeper and on the left side and Elliot higher & wider.

The Fabinho-Thiago midfield partnership is so strong. Rarely concede and seem to score 2 or 3 every game. They can control games with ease. A big dynamic to have back in play now.

Elliot & Jones play somewhat similar roles, on opposite sides of the midfield. Elliot can release the ball that bit quicker tho, which makes a big different. Both are confident in their ball retention qualities, which are an asset. Our midfielders are told to keep the ball a lot. They are both being told to keep the ball, but Jones takes that too literal at some times.

Nice win. Momentum keeps on going. And some key players to return.

Whoa, whoa, whoa……… those two names don’t belong in the same division, let alone the same sentence 😂😂

AdrianG08 · 10-02-2022 11:13pm

Elliot Fabinho Thiago is our best midfield

Salah, Jota, Diaz potentially our best front 3 (sorry sadio mane)

10-02-2022 11:19pm

Diaz doing nicely for his third season in the team.*

*feels like it. No gentle intro for Diaz... off you go. Loving his attitude.

rob316 · 10-02-2022 11:26pm

There is something wonderfully old fashioned about jota. Poacher, great in the air, I haven't seen a player like him lately. I was happy when we got him from wolves but I never ever thought he could be this good.

tanko · 10-02-2022 11:26pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118613261#Comment_118613261

Hopefully he can stay fit for a while this time.

TitianGerm · 10-02-2022 11:26pm

I'd imagine he might drop back to the bench now when Mane is back and be eased in then over the next few weeks to build up his confidence and movement in the system.

He's looked comfortable so far though. Could well turn out to be an excellent signing.

Was very happy with Elliots performance when he came on. Picked up some great positions and moved the ball on very quickly.

joebloggs32 · 11-02-2022 12:03am

While we know Klopp likes his players to learn the system, this is not necessarily the case for attackers. Neither Mane or Salah were left waiting on the sidelines serving any type of apprenticeship, and Jota was quickly introduced to action too unlike players further back the field. Diaz could see quite a bit of action between now and the end of the season.

BorneTobyWilde · 11-02-2022 12:26am

Burnley away next, they really are the draw experts, there is a team in top 4 that have lost the same amount of games as Burnley. They maybe be bottom, but dam they are hard to beat.

OwaynOTT · 11-02-2022 12:51am

Remember when new signings just disappointed us?

now they be good. Amazing

BorneTobyWilde · 11-02-2022 2:53am

How can he get away with it with VAR. While Salah was hacked down and no pen was given. Sterling just forgot the ball, as he was like, don't need its time to dive, Brentford player made ZERO contact, and it's not a yellow for Sterling, it's a pen. WTF
