I reckon most of the players probably suffering burn out after giving us 3 seasons of high intensity football, coming close twice and finally hitting the jackpot last season...

I agree. The mental and physical exhaustion is setting in. Plus age too. Our squad's average age is creeping up too. Time to rebuild. See how much more energy a Jota brings to the team. Actually Chelsea's squad is the best in time of ability and age. I think they will dominate in 1-2 years. Their wage bill must be super high too.

I saw the 2nd half of the match. We are almost playing like we used to with Fabinho back in midfield. He breaks up the attack in midfield before the opponents get to our defence. Our midfield is now almost back to full strength. Waiting for the midfielders to get back into form. Why almost playing like we used to? Because our front 3 are still wasting chances away. Salah scored but generally is not in top form.

Origi looks hungry once again. Kabak and Phillips both look ok. I think we will sign Kabak at the end of the season.

Top 4 is not out of reach yet but we need the front 3 to start firing. Jota is a huge upgrade on Firmino these days. He did a lot of running and linking up play. Salah must be really happy with Jota for helping to set up his goal.

I gave up watching on PL matches.

Liverpool had to deal with mafian with ref and officials hinder the chances.

Not in CL where they hv fairer refs and officials.

No expectation from me after a tough previous 2 to 3 years.

Fabinho performance was spot on, back where he is required.

let's hope Liverpool get some luck in the draw for the quarter finals.

if VVD can come back to 1st team this season we still have a chance.

the front 3 still need to do their work to score important goals and not waste chances.

Clean sheet.
Scored goals.
Fabinho back in midfield.
Did not play such a High Line.
No silly errors.
Smiles on faces.
Quarter finals of the champions league.
Keita not injured.
Origi had a good cameo.

Great performance, only criticism was finishing .
Phillips Kabak Fabinho and Thiago were all extremely good .

Lovely to see huge smiles on the players faces as well as the boss. This was more like it.

WE NEED TO BUILD ON THIS

Happy birthday to Robertson.

Instead of scoring 4 goals the team scored 2.
Midfield answer is simple with Fabinho, Thiago and Henderson.

As usual folks, don't get too carried away after 1 victory. The real test will come when they play their next match @home @Anfield. Somehow Pool seems to do much better playing away.

So means what? We go back to the Rafa Benitez era where no one messes with us in Europe is it? Who here always say don't mess with Liverpool in Europe ah? I remember there is a bro who kept repeating that statement.

I think top 4 is possible. We just need to make full use of our 3 week break. In the past, we had Fabinho and Henderson in midfield. If our opponent can get through them, they face VVD. If get through VVD, they face Allison. It is like a world class hurdle one after another.

Now we put Henderson and Fabinho in centreback position and lose our midfield steel. Both of them are only half as effective because midfielders don't have to set the offside trap right? Both their CB position not natural. So putting Fabinho back into midfield brings back the steel in our midfield. Then we have 2 guys (Kabak and Phillips) who are specially trained all their lives for the CB position playing there and setting the offside trap. Things look so much better immediately.

Bloody hell, Nat Phillips contract ends this June and Liverpool does not seem to want to renew his contract. I think many EPL clubs will sign him
