Justice after the cup game VAR debacle. And so much better to beat them in the league.

Absolutely loathe liverpool.

The pundits and press will only be interested in dissecting their performance though.

A game changing result for a glass half empty bloke like me!

Absolutely fantastic. Look so much fitter and well organised under Lopetegui. Got his selection and tactics spot on, and our patterns of play in that first half were brilliant.

Saw the game was drifting at the start of the second half and made the subs to address that.

Lemina, Neves and Dawson were immense but it was a great shift from everyone. Even Adama’s pass selection and execution was tremendous.

Sa 7
Semedo 8
(Balon) D’awson 8
Kilman 8
RAN 8
Lemina 9
Neves 9
Nunes 7
Hwang 7
Sarabia 7
Cunha 7

Adama 8
Moutinho 7
Raul 6
Jonny 6
Podence 6

To go from having not scored against a top six side before today’s game to that performance (against an admittedly very poor Liverpool side) bodes very well for the future.

Just hoping that the Lemina injury isn’t anything serious.

Absolutely made up.

I was nervous for the first 20mins of the second half but as soon as JLo made changes the game settled down and we were the better side again.

Some fantastic displays today. Dawson was a ball magnet, Neves was everywhere, Cunha was great first half but I was soooo impressed with Lemina. Played deeper than Neves for a change and bosses everything.

We’ve made some brilliant signings this month.
It is why JL wanted options and two players per position.

He is a master tactician with great game management skills, who is perfect for a game that has 5 subs.

This season is going to end far better than it started and this summer is going to be super exciting to see what he does. He has transformed us with his jan wish list, imagine what a whole summer window could bring!!!!

Special mention to Sa too, got called every name under the sun the other week, and rightly so. Made two big saves and pretty much caught everything.
He was great with his keeping today in terms of positioning and saves. That was the most important thing today as he made two great saves at key moments that could have changed the momentum of the match to the dippers.

What an absolutely fabulous result. Have not watched it yet, although I caught the Dawson goal. Looking forward to watching the extended highlights. Such a confidence booster for all concerned. Only downside of today is the Everton result.

Delighted and can't wait for MoTD.

When was the last time we had a comprehensive league result? Watford the other season? Plus it's nice for us to play a team on a poor run of form and not roll over.

Also, perhaps an odd stat and sorry if it's been pointed out, but in terms of this current spell in the Prem, it's taken this long to beat the "sky 6" in the league

1st season: Chelsea, Spurs, Man Utd, Arsenal
2nd season: Man City
5th season: Liverpool

First time we’ve hit three in the League all season and first time at Molineux in the PL since 4-0 v Watford on March 10th.

Magnificent!
And what a day to do it with the pressure of that Everton win!

Shows how together the lads are.

Can’t rely on other people in sport and today showed we are more than capable to control our own destiny.

Always better to be the chased than the chaser in situations like the one we are in at the moment.

Fantastic performance. It’s not just a win against a good opponent. We were the better team.

What a difference Lemina was in midfield. Neves able to play with more freedom and delivers.

If there’s a negative it’s that the injury to Hwang forces Adama on early. That disrupted our defense and our possession. Yet Adama delivered in his own way. He is one of the best counter attack, run at tired legs players in the world.

Imagine if we had Neto and Sarabia on either side of Cunha! I hope he comes back player we saw in 2020.

Lemina and Neves have to be close to 10's today......just superb what they did in the middle.

A masterclass from JL, frustrated and broke down a low on confidence Liverpool with ease using a combination of a high man on man press and then a very deep and compact defensive structure with an explosive counter-attack, our players adapted well most of the game with Liverpool really only getting a few clear chances.
