Great win, everyone seemed to step up a level. Gomez is far better in the centre than full back. 11 points behind now, could be five points by the time City play next.
Edit: Actually off by one. We're 10 behind and could be four points off them.

Try reading the whole post next time x
Was offside according to the commentators, but yeah.
Notice how we stopped leaking goals when Trent wasn’t playing ?
Can’t believe even Millie played well at RB.

I'll continue with match threads as long as @Dreambeliever doesn't predict we will win. I can't compete with his jinxy predictions being wrong. We will lose games but @Dreambeliever must not change tact.
He looked decent when he came on.
The problem with Trent has been this season, he has stopped trying to be Trent and has been something else this season.
A spell on bench would do him good, watch the game and reset a little.
And those that on about life after Trent? Fck sake, this place can get a little over the top at times from one end to another.
He has been amazing for 4yrs and an amazing part of a team that got closest yet to winning every trophy ever last season. Let’s stop trying yo rewrite history and give the only born scouser in the team who’s been with us since a boy a chance to get back to something like he is capable.
I bloody hope not.
This.
We need Gomez fit. Fuck England.
Unless, of course, we can , somehow, get Tyrone Mings and/or Serge Aurier as replacements for him….WE CAN BUT DREAM!
I don't think City were poor today. Not really. And even if you think that, it only tells half a story. The half missing is that City come to Anfield already rattled. Our previous wins against them, our undefeated record at Anfield, and the home fans just unsettle them. It's clear we're under Peps skin and have been for years. We saw it in the City documentary. We see it when he's manically gesturing on the sideline like someone trying to be sectioned. We see it when always tries some mad tactics to overcome and out think Klopp. All that worry and insecurity likely feeds down to their players days before the arrive at the ground, and it shows. We're not just another game for them. They know we have their number, and they fucking hate it. That isn't just "city being poor", that's them being half negated by our brilliant performances in the past, and then rattled by our intensity and aggression once the match kicks off. Both of which we deserve huge credit for.
Klopp made some ballsy tactical moves that all paid off. He was ambitious at a time a lesser manager would have opted for a draw. It was a day for the under dogs, too. Many would have happily shunted Gomez off to Villa without a second thought. Well here he is getting MOTM against the best striker in world football. Milner, past it? Nah. We have to manage his minutes, but to play like that against the Champions. There's some life left in those 36 year old legs, and to a lesser extent, Diogo Jota, whose goal-scoring exploits and effort have all to often been forgotten about since we got a new shiny toy in Diaz, but he was absolutely insane tonight. The work rate and effort he put on was off the scale.
Too early to say we're back, but we're someway back to doing what made us brilliant. We need to rise to the occasion with greater frequency moving towards.

Yes, and it's absolutely no coincidence that the whole team followed suit.
1 game
Indeed. Diaz is gonna be a big loss and leaves us light up front as it is. We need Jota.
I did, you prefaced it by saying they were dogshit. The rest of your post doesn't mitigate your opening statement ... so doesn't get you out of jail !
Well city were shit ? I'd argue they were more shit than we were great, I think you're logic is the one requiring an escape rope buddy ..
City were far from shit, that had lots of the ball, dominated possession, created a few good chances. If their goal had stood, they would probably have got another.
I think if we are to persist with this 4-4-2 shape when defending, we could definitely try Trent in the position Elliot played today. He will have less defensive duty and could cause some damage with his crossing.
In the last 2 games, both Gomez and Milner were better than Trent had been all season defensively.

@momoWASboss do your stuff
There is no such thing as jinxes and lucky omens.
I know you hate to hear it, but the fact you started the match thread had zero bearing on the match result.
