Just got home from the game, what a great result for us and thoroughly deserved!
Best performance in an LFC shirt from Wijnaldum.
I thought Lovren and Matip bullied Costa which was great to see.
An unbelievably stunning goal from Jordan Henderson as well.
However the most pleasing part of the win was the way we managed and controlled the game after Costa scored, I thought we would be under serious pressure but we kept the ball so well and took the sting out of the game. We actually looked solid as well although we still can't get that elusive clean sheet!
We completely dominated the first 45mins as well, not many teams will go to Stamford Bridge and be able to say that.
Acid test next week at home to Hull though, a game we should win comfortably but these type of fixtures usually trip us up. We must follow up with another 3 points!

Klopp post match interview was funny, saying people saying '2 weeks ago people were asking what happened in the transfer market? we need 5 midfielders and 8 left backs !!!'
He must be reading some of the comments on KopTalk !!!!

Ironically, I only watched the first half before leaving to work. From what I saw, Wijnaldum was the only player out of sync. Every player was crisp and fast with passing but he stumbled a few times which delayed our quick attacks. Lovren and Matip looks promising at defence but Matip please stop attacking the box like a winger  He will get caught out at some stage. Brilliant high intensity first half. I was impressed with City the other day and how they completely dominated the game, we did the same today so well done lads, well done Klopp. They did control/dominate the 2nd half but we held on. Costa could have got a second, the stars were with us a bit as we could have drawn. Good that we defended well after their goal.

Got the whole weekend to gloat now.
Can't be anything but well 'appy with that performance, and if the Klopp lad was 'appy, which he clearly was, then we are too.
Most most excellent.

Man of the match Jurgen Klopp.
Cleared out the pretenders. Brought in real talent. Super player motivator. Very good tactician.
Mark my words, Klopp is the Second coming of LFC
I guarantee we will be worshiping him and his team come May 2017.

great game .... Wijnaldum was Man of the Match for me although there was 3/4 others I think this was his best game for us by far. Started very slow at us but more than made up for it today.
We will only grow into a complete unit but we need to work on that Left back situation because teams are been allowed far too much space at times and could cost us some stupid points, but in all great win tonight kept costa quiet as well. yep he was epic too (especially first half), as dejan said our best performance so far this season. as shankly would say keep building liverpool up and up, until they're a bastion of invincibility..

whether we deserved a 2 goal lead at half time, even though klopp thinks we did, is debatable, 1 goal would have been more of a fair reflection imo still, but then again chelsea did sit back early on so it cost them. I think we were slightly fortunate we scored that screamer, who said henderson can't shoot, you're right he can't, I don't think he's got the most amazing technique but sometimes his technique helps him. It's weird I said before the season he'd be one of the surprises, then after burnley I came on here and said it doesn't look likely, now he's produced a big display against difficult opposition. despite his hand in us conceding the goal by not going with the runner, all round top performance.
