"Destroyed a team in the top half of PL, now haters can put that one to rest. BR played a great squad, front 3 were incredible, defence not really tested (but we have the front 6 to thank for that). Probably still get the divs calling for BR's head, but I suppose that's football & they have their right of an opinion. Amazing LFC from top-2-bottom today, I knew it would happen again one day YNWA"

"SGM what you say is partly true but you forgot to mention that we lost to most of the teams below us. So which do you prefer? It seems to me a lot of people on here are glad when we lose cos they as straightaway they have a mindless moan. When we win they have to think about it for an hour or two cos its more difficult to criticise then. At least try to make your criticism constructive."

"To those criticising BR and new players (Allen and Borini), remember the tons of abuse poured on Lucas for two years. 35 shots, less than 10 on target. That's where I'd like to see some improvement. Great result though. We'll need the spirit of '77 against St Etienne against Zenit. Allez les Rouges!"
