Hahaha. Neville, "you never thought Liverpool were going to lose that game when they got control, I was checking what the odds were cos I was so sure" Then moaning how much he hates it.
Yeah, but it's Chelsea. And we know what happened against them 5 years ago. The media will be reminding everyone in the build up to the game. Especially with symmetry of fixtures (same day that City played Palace).
Chelsea are back in the race for the top 4, Hazard is in form again, and they hate us as much as anyone. It's the most difficult game of our run in for both the crowd and the players.
As soon as they came on I was sure we'd win. TAA was getting murdered and I had a lot of confidence that Millie would be stronger, added to which Hendo would be across to help out. And that LW, though very dangerous, was pretty much all they had. As it was Millie did far better in attack than TAA was doing (assist aside).
Klopp just said Gini is struggling with the intensity of the season. So yeah, he's fucking knackered.
I also want to add that although I generally hate Hendo in a defensive position he adds a lot more when attacking.
The 3rd goal was awesome, superb from Firmino to keep it in, turn his man, look up and then lay it on a plate, superb from Hendo to absolutely break a gut from midfield all the while pointing to where Bobby should lay it off. Perfection.

He's an extremely good central midfielder when he's not shackled by having to shield the back four, but I'd argue that we are all guilty of overlooking how much we need his energy & workrate in that position when he's playing that deeper role.
Seven, the answer's seven
Oh yeah. You can see how much it means to him. I got a bit a misty eyed. Beautiful.
It's fucking mental the way we're all thinking about the quarter final of the CL as a nice pressure free break, but we are!
I tell yiz what... Bobby, after basically playing for them for 75 odd minutes, was fucking enormous in that win.
He made a wonderful defensive header / block on their corner just before we scored, that, had he not made, their big hairy center back would have scored, untouched from six yards out - He got a bit lucky with where it landed after he got the touch on it, but he had to be there to get the challenge in.
Then his run to draw Redmond off Salah was magnificent. It was as much a factor in the goal as was Salah's shot. Brilliant.
Then his run, control, skill and pass to Hendo for the third was obviously key in that goal.
He was shite for 80 odd minutes... But he might have ended up MOM for me.

Yeah, i'd rest Gini for it. Keita can have another go, alongside Fab and Hendo. Millie will obv be at LB.
I'd also be looking at getting Ox back into the team in both of those matches...
I wanna get Joe Gomez back in the fold ASAP. Play him at RB.
Trent was poor today, but he's not long back from an injury. Rest him for Porto so he has all his energy saved to stop Eden Hazard on Sunday.
I don't want TAA on the same field as Hazard, mate... I really don't rate him as a defender at all, and he's been diabolical for a lot of this season, including today - I'd go with Milner all day long for that match.
And yes, getting Joe back if we can would be wonderful, of course.

Yeah, Bobby's game seemed a little disjointed but I was hoping he'd wriggle free and set up a goal. His run and pass to Henderson was very good. As was his running off the ball for the Salah goal. He ended up having a good night.
I dunno, Milner had a tough time against Zaha when he last played RB.
So true this - I actually know a Crystal Palace fan, and told him as much, said to him - how about you f*ck up someone else's dreams this time round. I really hope Palace do us a favour - they are more than capable of beating that lot.
