Conor Bradley runs the show as Liverpool thump sorry Chelsea

In simple terms, Jurgen Klopp has done an excellent job of rebuilding the Liverpool team while Chelsea has not been so successful. They have spent a lot of money on various players under Todd Boehly, but it hasn't paid off. Liverpool, on the other hand, has developed their own young talent, as demonstrated by Conor Bradley's performance in a game against Mauricio Pochettino's team. It was a big night for Liverpool, who are currently leading the Premier League.

Bradley was motivated by the passionate support from the Kop, who repeatedly chanted his name. Klopp's squad effortlessly dominated their Carabao Cup final opponents and left Bradley feeling uplifted. Liverpool is eagerly awaiting their upcoming match at Wembley in a few weeks, while Chelsea is probably feeling apprehensive about facing them.

Liverpool was on fire during their match against Chelsea, not giving the opposing team any breathing room to work their way through the relentless press. They continuously shot on sight, putting pressure on Djordje Petrovic's goal. Klopp was pleased with the energy and determination displayed by his team, and it showed in the atmosphere of the stadium. The crowd, despite their disappointment over Friday's announced departure, created a deafening noise, feeding off the energy of the players. The two groups worked together to create a high-energy game that left everyone on the edge of their seats.

Klopp made an astute decision by keeping Conor Bradley as right-back, even though Trent Alexander-Arnold was fit and available. This showed his immense trust in the 20-year-old, who has played exceptionally well as the deputy captain in recent times. It turned out to be a decision that paid off greatly, as Bradley created the first goal for Jota and scored the second one himself, leading to the Kop singing his praises towards the end of the first half.

Bradley started the night off great by creating an excellent opportunity for Darwin Núñez, who was determined to score a goal no matter where he was on the field. Núñez tried to kick the ball over Petrovic, who was positioned well to stop the shot, thanks to Bradley's well-executed pass.

Petrovic managed to keep the score somewhat decent in the first half by blocking many shots skillfully. He saved a shot from Núñez, who had kicked it the moment he received a threaded pass from Alexis Mac Allister, by flicking it onto his crossbar. He also saved a left-footed strike from the Uruguayan player, which was heading towards the far post. When Curtis Jones tried to score with a low-lying shot, Petrovic got down on the ground and skillfully pushed it away. However, when the home team finally scored, it was the fault of Petrovic's defense, who let him down badly.

Ben Chilwell didn't do too well in this game because he lost possession easily to Bradley, which led to the first goal. Bradley and Jones worked together, and Bradley moved forward to pass to Jota. Jota then found space near the edge of Chelsea's penalty area. He didn't face any serious opposition and managed to get past Thiago Silva and Benoît Badiashile. It was so easy that John Terry, who was watching the game from the away end, must have felt really disappointed. Jota then finished off the move with a close range goal that Petrovic couldn't stop.

Bradley achieved his fourth assist in four successive games. The goal was approved after a VAR investigation for a probable handball by Jota. Silva hit a clearance against him. Liverpool had no concerns with the performance of the referee, Paul Tierney, for a change.

Klopp's enemy, referee Paul Tierney, rejected Conor Gallagher's request for a penalty after he received a cross from Raheem Sterling and fell down due to a challenge from Virgil van Dijk. Although there was contact from Van Dijk's arm and knee, Gallagher seemed to fall down too easily. Both Tierney and the VAR system were not convinced. Gallagher and Chilwell's falls were so effortless that they might as well have been wearing slippers. In response to a worrisome performance, both players were substituted during half-time when Pochettino made some changes to the team.

Liverpool increased their advantage thanks to their energetic right-back scoring his first goal for the team. Luis Díaz moved away from Enzo Fernández to release Bradley down the right flank. The inexperienced player calmly struck the ball from the edge of the box, beating Petrovic and finding the net on the far post.

Once more, VAR delayed the festivities at Anfield as it examined a potential infringement involving Jota and Chilwell. Chilwell claimed that he would have assumed Bradley's position if not for Jota, before VAR eventually permitted the goal-scorer to enjoy his triumph.

The score could have been three to zero for Liverpool before halftime. Tierney, the referee, made another decision in Liverpool's favor when Badiashile stepped on Jota's foot inside the penalty box while he was running towards Van Dijk's pass. The referee quickly awarded Liverpool a penalty kick. However, Klopp, the Liverpool manager, did not watch the penalty kick and instead waited for the crowd's reaction. Núñez, who took the penalty kick, hit the post while Petrovic, the goalkeeper, was diving the other way.

Pochettino expressed his opinion on how poorly Chelsea played during the first half of the game. At halftime, the Chelsea manager decided to make three substitutions in hopes of improving their performance. However, their efforts were not successful when Malo Gusto made a break down the right and passed the ball to Mykhailo Mudryk who had an excellent opportunity to score, but unfortunately, he missed the shot and the ball went high up into the Anfield Road stand. As a result, the chances of Chelsea making a comeback in the game decreased significantly.

On the other hand, Bradley had a fantastic evening. He managed to make five assists in just four games, and this time, it was all thanks to Van Dijk's cross-field pass. Bradley was quick on his feet and managed to outrun Badiashile, who was playing out of position as the left-back instead of Chilwell. Bradley then made a perfect cross into the penalty area, and Szoboszlai was able to jump above the Chelsea defence and head the ball into the goal. It was a spectacular play and a great moment for Bradley and his team.

Christopher Nkunku added some much-needed threat to the Chelsea offensive and reduced the score by scoring a goal when he directed Carney Chukwuemeka’s pass into the bottom corner. He also had a request for a penalty turned down after being kicked in the heel by Van Dijk.

Núñez smacked a header from an Andy Robertson pass onto the woodwork for the third time. He then assisted Díaz in scoring the fourth goal by delivering an enticing pass towards the back post.
