Fucking brilliant display, don’t let a penalty miss get your knickers in a twist, it’s defo affected the crowd which is stupid. Just keep at the fuckers, work dead hard and we’ll score more. Properly fantastic football from us. Keep it up Red Men.

[Mark M]

Brilliant half. Bradley was incredible genuinely incredible performance 

[El Rojo]

You can’t underestimate Klopp’s role in the timely emergence of Bradley. With most other managers, they’d be risk-aversing him into the u-21s.

 

Or, like most of us were baying for in the transfer thread, bringing in some established but limited stopgap option.

 

What a manager.

Thanks, what a sickner 

[Jairzinho]

Although there was a certain inevitability about Nuñez missing hasn't he got a really good penalty record? 

[Rick Sanchez C-137]

Can't believe Bradley's finish. Incredible.

Missing a penalty isn't bad luck. 

 

Plenty of players score penalties in off the post.

 

The luck thing was more at keepers saving his shots onto them mind.

A good half. Jota - he has his off-days but my god, when he's on form he must be terrifying to play against, he's just lethal. Thrilled for Bradley - imagine where he'd be if some fans had got their wish and we'd signed some new right back - probably somewhere like Bolton, losing all self-belief, to a chorus of 'I told you so's'. Nunez I won't comment on - we all know what to say.

If Nunez didn't have bad luck, he'd have no luck... 

 

Fuck me 

Missing a pen isn’t bad luck. And I love him.

Watching it on tv, the atmosphere seems weird. Loud, but not much singing. Kind of nervy. If anyone is there, is it like that?

[bossy]

Joe Cole will be on now to dribble shite

[Joey8FrogsLegs]

Fantastic half that, close to perfection apart

from the penalty.

 

More or less every player has been brilliant. Bradley and Jota probably the two best, but great performances from Mac Allister, Diaz, Konate and Jones as well. Nunez also with a fantastic performances again apart from the penalty.

 

Therr will be more goals, and we need to get the next one to get the momentum back, team and crowd.

[Anubis]

Burning question - who’s the changeling in the referee’s kit?

[Funkasy]

Damn we have been good.

[Freddo]

Keep at these and chances will come. Kop end and we’ll get more. Excellent all round display. Nunez despite the penalty miss has been superb.

Keep going and they’ll implode. 

[Red Shift]

Pretty happy. Yeah, Darwin missed the pen, but Macca hasn’t taken many for us anyway, and Mo if playing, could easily have fucked up too. 2-0 and dominant. Just keep the possession, create more and we’ll have the 3 points. 
Bradley doing a sensational job and when that goal went in I was delirious !! Very special moment. 

[Moo]

Christ, that lad must aim for the woodwork.

[bossy]

Bradley is fucking brilliant by the way

[Babb'sBurstNad]

Tierney defo wants a Klopp hug before he goes.

To be fair, it IS a football match, not Songs of Praise. I'm always happy to not hear songs until we're close to winning

[Funkasy]

Nunez has hit the post 8 times this season.

[Scrump]

Chances created:

Bradley 3

Szoboszlai 2

Diaz 1

VAR will be telling him to buck up , 2nd half

Salah’s missed more than an acceptable number too.

 

Should be Jota or Mac Allister.
