We are 4 points behind Arsenal in second let that sink in!!!!

And they are away at Anfield next LOL

Liverpool had never lost a game where VvD has scored. Making history.

Massive credit to Palmer for ignoring Maresca's pre-match instructions on any penalty kicks. Pepillini wanted him to pass it back to Sanchez.

Big win!

Great result!

Palmer back to his best again today. Everyone bar Jackson was decent today.

Cucu locked Salah down, Chalobah was class.

I felt sorry for Cucurella, Maresca seemed determined to make his job as difficult as possible.

Very good performance, Palmer sublime, Lavia key , Caceido again very good

It’s in our own hands now, we can’t ask for more

He's got to be up there for our player of the season this year.

Decent performance from most, and more importantly, a better way of playing. We were noticeably more front footed today. This suits us...I hope Maresca learns from this.

Handbrake off and we are a decent team.

2 wins out of 3 and I think we’ll make it.

Cole Palmer just swore on TV. Immediately realised and apologised. His response to interviews is funny. He defo needs a bit of PR training but I love it 😆

Good to read the comments when we win.

Well I did not see that one coming. Sure is nice to finally beat a top side in the league.

Well Done lads!

Reading through the thread seems Trev had a pretty good game?

@timetowaste I await you to correct that with how he was actually poor, not a real defender right? ;)

We don't beat teams like Pool, Arsenal or City, even with the real Cole Palmer, who we have not seen since before Christmas.

We did alright today ! Palmer wasn’t bad either

To add balance and give T2W some ammo following what was a decent performance today.... I played my lad at fifa earlier. 2 games of chelsea vs the dippers (we take it in turns to be chelsea).... during my turn with liverpool, Trev scored an own goal, gave away a pen, and got sent off. He was rubbish!

Well done on the real life version though Trev....did well.

Made a couple shot on goal preventing interceptions. He and Colwill were excellent.

Good win and good performance even if it was against a hungover Liverpool. Putting together a decent run of form the last while , hopefully drive it home now.

2 more wins in the league and win the conference league and it’s not a bad season at all.

Big, big win. When Van Dijk, scored, I could of had a heart attack. My heart was pumping. This team really puts me through it sometimes. We did play Liverpool at a good time, yes but nevertheless the players done what was needed. I thought every player put a shift in. Jackson was the most frustrating tbh but Lavia, Palmer, Caicedo, Colwill and Chalobah was exceptional. Neto had a good game too. Cucurella did well too. Salah barely had a sniff. Massive game next week against Newcastle. If we win that, you would think that is enough to ensure CL qualification.

Edited May 4, 20251 yr by STATS

The game against Newcastle is going to be fcking massive now

Sanchez- Very good today in that he did everything right with no brain farts

Caicedo- Rolls Royce.

Trev- Got better and better as the game went on.

Colwill - His best performance for quite some time.

Cucu - Thought he was excellent and kept the best player in the league very quiet but got up the park to help the attack too.

Lavia - Please give us a fit Lavia because he is so good. His forward passing is immense.

Enzo - Really beginning to find his form recently

Neto - good shift but end product is few and far between.

Noni - Thought he was pretty good but makes the wrong choices too often.

Palmer - was decent in the first half but just got better and better.

Jacko - Usual head scratching stuff.

Maresca. - credit where it’s due. We were set up correctly today although the defending of corners was a shambles.

Was ruing the final fixture run in, but it’s turning out a lot better than I thought. Hungover Liverpool, CL head to head vs Newcastle and Forest, and a pre Europa league final Man Utd B team.

Buzzing after the game! I thought that today we played well and it was the less Maresca-ball since before Xmas. Beating the victims feels so great, and it’s so Chels to go and spoil their party! Let’s build on this!

has MARESCA finally listened to the supporters?

OR

Did the players take it on themselves and decide enough is enough of the slow sideways and backwards football?

either way we were more attacking (i know Liverpool were on the beach for most of the game), and everyone played well and played their part

Hopefully he allows the players to play the same football for the next 4 games, if he does i think we could finish 4th let alone 5th

with Santos hopefully coming, our midfield next season could be the strongest in the league

Good win but they were on the 🏖️. Appalling defending for Van dike header. Palmer looked better today and that bodes well for the last 3, Jacko is a 🫏. A proper elite #9, goalie & manager would imo keep us in the hunt next season but won’t happen.

Jackson’s attitude raises a red flag for the future, as we talk about him being a better ‘back-up’ striker, but seemingly he thinks he’s r9 reincarnated, sulks and reacts when coming off too, even when he’s clearly having a bad game. Concerning.

Of course Virgil left a foot on Lavia, he was signalling to come off earlier, Maresca held on, HOPEFULLY he’s fine.

It’s funny because these ‘bigger’ games we’ve got suit us, IF we’re the ones doing the transitions. So maybe there is hope after all, still so much to do though.
