Liverpool went up a gear after Mount's stunner.

It is going to be a cliff hanger I think.

Rudiger almost cost us and why didn't Tiny Tim head that early chance?

Our shape looks good so far.

Poor Timo.. he's been excellent this first half.

Next goal determines the winner me thinks..

Ziyech should be off at HT and either Havertz or Puli should be in.

By a distance. Quality performance so far.

I said Tuchel could possibly have the same impact Jose had on Lampard turn him from good into Great!!!

He was already great,just taken quite few to realise it

If it wasn’t for the farcical nature of vertical and horizontal lines superimposed upon a match play still  generated by a remote PC it would be a much healthier HT lead 

other than that no gripes so far. More of the same please !

We have a clean sheet at HT, thank god we have Jorghinio on....surprised GOL didn't point this out

Absolutely. Long ball buffett.

 Now I understand why they have been losing lately. It is so easy, trent can't defend, thiago can't defend, curtis jones can't defend, Fabinho look like  coming back from injury, kabak is very slow.

Well, with a VAR who is not judging the elbow to be offside it would be 2-0

Strictly speaking, no as the course of the game would have been altered had the first goal been allowed. I’m generally not pedantic, but about this I am... I can’t help it. It drives me batty!

I think Mount has improved a lot this season in general, have to give a lot of props to Lamps for believing in him, he must have saw his potential. 

And some will call me bias but I think Mount has been at his best over the past 6-7 weeks, best I've ever seen him. 

Mason f**king Mount, what a goal!

We have played some good football, our counter attacks are pretty good, also our possession has a lot of confidence. Christensen never knew how to run the ball like he did in the first half, our most shaky player with the ball is Kante, but I don't mind because his defensive work is excellent.

Our attacking trio is good, Werner deserves to score, and Mount is simply running our team. Ziyech is trying, he's trying to prove himself but he needs to stay more on his feet, be more physical. 

The team looks good, if we can double our score and keep it clean sheet, I'd more than thankful. Liverpool really lacking a lot of things, but I can't remove them from the game, they still have quality. We have to be careful with Mane, he's diving a lot and referee is not buying it so far, but he might get some in the second half. 

COME ON CHELS!!!!

He was banned. Though this is the perfect game for him to say I told you so to a lot of people here

He hasn’t really been involved at all. 
 

i would get pulisic on just for his pace in breaking the high line 

Goes without saying though, Liverpool are really dangerous, especially with Mane's pace against Azpi & Reece and Salah's dribbling. 

Could do with another one here.

That’s out of date. They updated the rule book five minutes ago so that hands can be offside. Do try to keep up.

A few disjointed (not entirely sober) thoughts:

- I reckon the VAR boys have a few giro cheques in their pockets tonight - that offside was complete nonsense

- I hope Jorginho was taking notes from N'golesc Kantbregas (although I think Jorginho has been decent)

- Werner has been his usual combination of irresistible and useless (although he did score a perfectly legal goal)

- We have been the better team

- Mason Mount - what a f**king man - took the game by the scruff of the neck and put us ahead (again) - Stevie Me eat your heart out.

And we effectively did it with 10 players !

This performance is all about how quickly we’re playing in transition, in recent weeks we’ve been so slow getting forward!

Azpi and Reece need to tighten up other then that we are looking good. 

Liverpool did pick it up after the offside goal but I was impressed with the way we focused again - yep, very promising. I'd love it if we could play this directly more often 

I don’t think Klopp changes his tactics often. Good chance we will see more of the same of Liverpool in 2nd half.

Thats all I’ll say. Scared of jinxing!

Gotta love Tuchel's son Mason though. The boy has been good. 

Werner's goal was perfectly sound. Feckin var!! How was Timo gonna score from his elbow? This isn't Muay Thai

It was Jorginho who played Werner in for that offside goal, and it was a great one, if it wasn't for the bogus offside decision that would've been his assist.
