Great observations. Will Liverpool and its supporters consider the season a success if they do not win the Premier League and Champions League?

My sense is they'll consider things disappointing if LFC doesn't win a third trophy. But four seems like like a lot to ask for given the circumstances right now.

Probably not, but I really hope so. I know it's hard to put things in proper historical context in the moment, but man is this Liverpool side fun to support. Just everything firing on all cylinders, and even better the product is aesthetically pleasing and everyone involved just seems to be having the best time. Trophy(s) or not, I'm just trying to enjoy the ride

Prior to the game, my thoughts were that Chelsea had no chance to beat Liverpool. But when clock was moving, and specially in the second part, Chelsea had good chances. Indeed, Pulisic was the biggest threat for Liverpool defense. Thank you for your columns, I read them very often.

I feel like Chelsea had its moments and didn't convert. Thanks for reading!

Wish Pulisic had scored. Seems the only way he starts is if either Tuchel is rotating his squad or somebody else is hurt. Maybe it’s because I have my USA hat on, but he usually creates and does something positive, which you can’t always say about the guys who get more time.

I was surprised not to see Werner, though. I thought his pace in an extra time game against a tired ‘D’ might’ve made a difference.
