Yeah. Klaassen and Stekelenburg were supposed to be out with covid as well. And Gravenberch. Only 17 of them flying apparently. Not sure what's going on here. 

[Elite]

Best we've played in a long while 

[magicrat]

Enjoyed that half . been a while 

[Bjornebye]

What the fuck was that advert for everton v united hahahaha 

[The Guest]

Best half of the season so far that.  Trent finally finding his groove has helped.  Williams looks great.

You’ve been on the gear that’s what

[LFC 6 Times]

Brilliant half, one of our best performances this year. So assured and mature in everything we’ve done. Jota the star man with two exceptional goals, what a player this boy is. Trent, Gomez and Williams have been brilliant at the back.

[Grinch]

Best half of football we've played in a very long time. 

 

Hysterical that wolves wanted 70m for the useless cunt Traore and we've took a proper baller of them for half that.

[Red Shift]

Really enjoying the matchcentre audio commentary at the moment.

Close to perfect half against a dangerous team. They set up perfectly for us. 3 CB's and quite attacking so they have to defend 1v1 and our front 3 are tearing them a new one. Klopp and the transfer lads have done it again with Jota. Guy is en fuego as they say. And where the fuck did we find this Williams kid? Out of nowhere to perfectly bossing a monster like Zapata. Absurd. 

[Baltar]

Brilliant half, totally dominated a good side. 

[an tha]

Been good so far.

 

Get another then get Jota off and rested for sunday...he'll be crucial for game v the cheats on counter....has to start.

 

These are set up perfectly for us to exploit.....remind me of Arsenal teams at Anfield in last few years (before Arteta) loads of space and time - we always find open teams like these easy enough to play against....still have to get it done of course, but unless they tighten up we could get 4 or 5 here.

[dockers_strike]

Great display by the boys that half, keep it going in the second. Sadio looks off the boil. Curtis with an early booking might make him think a bit more or maybe Jurgen will sub him at the start of the 2nd half? Trent's delivery has been poor. Well in Jota, lad, 2 goals.

 

Ref seems to let them pull us back and gives nothing. This arabian commentator likes saying 'Andrew Robertson!' and 'Leverpooool!' etc.

[Joey8FrogsLegs]

Very good half that! They are capable of scoring, but we’ve looked more solid defensively than for a long time.

 

And we look like we could score from every attack, just a little bit of accuracy and timing and we could’ve been a couple more ahead already.

 

Keep it up second half and try to kill it off early.

[Captain]

Did not see this coming at all.

 

Loving it!

[johnsusername]

No fannying about in front of goal with Jota. Just bish bash bosh.

I wish. 

 

Skipper Dusan Tadic, goalkeeper Andre Onana and midfielders Davy Klaassen and Ryan Gravenberch were among those who stayed at home while back-up goalkeepers Maarten Stekelenburg and Dominik Kotarski also did not travel, leaving the club with just one goalkeeper, Kjell Scherpen, for the match at Herning.

Quality half of football. Gonna have to be mindful in the second half of them trying to get Gini and/or Curis sent off but more of the same please boys.

Heard earlier they flew some out today and were waiting on UEFA clearance for them to play. Must have got it this afternoon. 

 

Maybe false negatives on tests 

[Davelfc]

That Jota lad seems to know where the back of the net is, I like him. 

[ZonkoVille77]

Did it look like Robbo and Hendo were having a word with Jota at the end of that half? Jota looked like he was a bit pissed off. 

 

Good performance so far. These have a goal in them though so we need the defence to stay on their guard.
