Unbelievable strike.

It’s a really strange story Wilson because that’ s literally all he does. The spectacular most every game he plays. And no matter if he’s having an off day, he has that uniquely invalauble knack of adding a goal or an assist regardless most every game.

His goals/ assist record the last few years since he returned from a bad injury have been phenominal. By common consensus he’s been by far and away the beat player the Country U23’s level for a few years now. Always been super talented coming through but it wasn’t unril he srarted adding the ridiculous numbers his game really elevated. (Still Wales youngest International.). Yet he’s never really had a look in under Klopp who has an open door to the first team squad from the Academy and is one of the best around witb young lads. So much so that he got bumped full time to the first team. Then demoted back to Kirkby.

I always thought it was probably gonna’ be his slight size or the only thing he lacks, genuime pace that would hold him back. The ridiculous technique has never been in question. But them he goes out to a struggling Hull side last year and tears it up the Championsh. Every challenge hes met head on and come through with flying colours.

Yet still hes flipped out again this yea

Its a really curious situation. On the face of it, as witnessed yet again tonight, he’s more than PL ready. So what gives day-to-day? I mean the club are still real high on him. Made sure he extended for another 5 years before they found the perfect loan situation for his continued development. But there’s still thst ? as to why when hes showing standout, difference making qualitys every challenge he faces?

Really curious situation this one.
 
Ergh ref was poor but we should have closed that game out. Hazard once again proving he is the best player in the league.
 
Klopp: I don't think I have Liverpool glasses on my nose, but it's offside. Not much. I don't expect the ref to see that, but VAR can have a look. Why use it if you don't want to make the decision?

Only in the premier league can refs be so ******* useless even with the addition of VAR.

If Hazard was consistent he’d be at Madrid long ago.

He’s like watching Johnny Barnes when he’s on it. You just can’t get the ball off him. Couldn’t help but stand and applaud the brilliance of the winner the ground last night.

But he picks and choses when he can be arsed playing. Often against L’pool who he really seems to get up for and dominate like nobody else. Which has all gotten LONG past annoying. Conpletely with you he’s the best player the League ability wise but I’d argue the opposite until he does it on a consistent basis every week.

Double joke. Never a free kick to start with. Even the lino didn’t give it. And then they take all that time looking at the replay and still don’t class Barkley off. But then Friend wasn’t giving us anything from the first whistle so it was no surprise.

That said, it still should have been defended a **** of a lot better. And we waisted more than enough chances so only ourselves to blame.

I think last night showed just how complex our system is and how regularly you need to be playing in it to have the rhythm and understanding. It’s sound having using the depth for one or two changes but when so many are coming in, not least with so little match fitness, it showed. Not least the first half hour when we were all over the show. I mean even Shakiri, who along with Mane was our best player for me, showed why hes still no threat at all to start regulatly just now to the front three. Great individual attacking play. But positionally he was continually a few steps out of line, along with not fully doing his defensive duty. Probably doesn’t show the telly but live it stands out massively with the shape from watching the normal three lads who are so in synch. Same Fabinho. Dead tidy the ball. But not hatd to see why he’s been held back right now. He just doesn’t know not only where he has to be, but where everone else has to be in the fuidity of our system to be able to drop in and cover. Say what yoo want about Henderson but thats why you go with his nounce and experience right now. He might be less technically gifted than Fabinho but he’s way more versed in our system to make organise and make sure everyone else is doing their jobs Poor Milner couldn’t play his own game last night for trying to sort everyone else out.

Which all leads into another massive downside of being out of the League Cup so early again. You just don’t see where most of those lads are going to get the regular minutes to get that rythum and understanding with even less games now?

On the plus side, although he did actually have a solid game for once, that wull hipefully be the last time we ever have to see Mignolet in nets again. And the less said about the continued brain dead lad who just NEVER learns, Alby, the better. Last night looked like our defending looked frim back this time ladt year around the Tottenham debacle. None of that 5 are in any danger of displacing Alisson, Trent, JMG, van Dijk or Andy Robbo any time soon lets put it that way. Makes you appreciate them even more looking at the night and day difference to those that replaced thm.

So this us what it feels like to wake up not having won? ..... Well this feeling can do one and quick!!!!!

Utterly ***** to be out of the first chance of much needed silverware and as mentioned, game time for many this season. To have it hapoen to them of all clubs makes it doubly depressing. Not gonna’ lie. That one hurts. BADLY wanted to get back to going far again in a boss competition but sadly not to be.

Congratulations Chelsea. Hazards magic deserved to win any game.

Expect a COMPLETELY different gang of Reds Sat’day tea-time
 
Real nice touch from Fabregas the end coming down the Kop applauding.

Dead classy that.

But he has done that in 14/15 and 16/17. Just needs a year off in between ;)
 
Yeah if Hazard was consistent he'd be in the same bracket as Messi and Cristiano. If not higher. Arguably the only player in the world who is impossible to contain if he is in the mood.

Well done. One of them and a goal like that deserves to win any game.

Fixing to be a great game Sat’day. Be a completely different L’pool thats for sure. Jorginho for one won’t get anything like the time and space Fabregas was afforded last night.

Actually my first domestic away this season so a perfect one to start a mad week with the ‘fun’ of Naples Wednesday rounded off by the City game a week Sunday.

We can be never sure in these comparisons, but i believe that PL and Chelsea managers (too defensive) have hindered his ability to play at Messi level.
Now finally u can see more often how he enjoys the flow, the play and just to play footy. Will be tremendous year for him, sad that they are not in CL, but finally they got some forward moving coach.

Thought we deserved a point at least. Alisson is ****** quick of his line and that save kept us in the game.
 
Homestly, as a fan, is their any better way to score to get the result than at the dearh like that? Affords you not only the delirium of gaining a more than deserved point, with a stupendous goal. But the double whammy of totally deflating your opponents who thought they had it boxed. That’s why you do it. That’s what football’s ALL about. Moments and memories.


And that one lived up to the billing and then some. Absolutely superb game of togger. Brilliant football from both teams at an oft breakneck speed. Top drawer defending. Two brilliant goals. One an absolute Worldie. Couldn’t ask for much more in terms of top notch entertainment.


Not qute sure how we haven’t comfortably won both games these last 4 days like but among all the missed chances and atrocious officiating Wednesday lets not lose sight of the fact Chelsea are a **** good team under a top drawer manager cut from the same cloth as our own. With well arguably the most talented attacking footballer in the PL. (As frustrating as the F is ALWAYS turning it on against L’pool.). So going to their house and performing as well as that isn’t something to be sniffed at.


Could have won. Probably should have on chances. But just one of them and no real disappointment here after such a wonderful game.


We know our front three is better than anything else in Europe and they’ll click sooner rather than later. The fact that we’re sitting top with City when they as yet haven’t is testimemt to just what a ****** brilliant gang of Reds Jurgen has assembled.


WORST case scenario, we go into the second International break a game behind City. Which when you consider our first 8 games compared to theirs is beyond brilliant. And thats just a ‘worst case’ with the mouthwatering game between outselves to come next Sunday.


Frustrating but nonetheless very satisfying Sat’day. Aside from the safety aspect, roll on Wednesday and Naples and the next game in whats fast turning into a real special season.


Well done Chelsea for contributing to a super game of football.


Up the never giving in Reds!
