Got into the stadium about 12:15 and had such a buzz as soon as I got in. Wasn't many people in their but to see so many flags being brought in and everything else just gave me a buzz.
From kick off we absolutely bossed it. Had so much control and our fans didn't stop singing. Deafening in all honesty. Never heard anything like it and it was just like the old Liverpool. Fantastic to go in 2 goals up and we fully deserved it. We could have been 4 or 5 up if it wasn't for poor finishing (mainly from Coutinho) and then a great save from Hart when Gerrard had the header.
At half time I was saying to an arl fella who was sat next to me that we need to get a third because if they score one, it is wide open and they are back in it. I was right. They got one and they were back in it. We looked pretty poor until they went to 2-2 and then we stepped it back up a bit. Coutinho was simply brilliant. His tackling for such a small guy was faultless. Didn't stop running.
When it was 2-2, I had a feeling we would get another. My girlfriend predicted 3-2 and I said 3-3 before kick off. I just had a feeling we would get a third. Thankfully we did and even though his finishing was poor in the first half, that was a fantastic finish from Coutinho. Didn't even look at the goal, just hit it first time bottom corner. Superb. Celebrations just blew me away.
Sterling is just class. Watched him from the u18's/u21's and loved him then. For his age, he makes such good runs and has a lot of confidence on the ball. I wish he would shoot more as we have a lot of openings for him to do that but he decides not too.
Gerrard's passion speaks for itself. The way he was crying at the end and that talk he gave in the huddle just proves how much he wants this. He hasn't got long left and knows that this could be his last chance because anything can happen next season or the season after that. We deserve to win it and he knows it.
Bit gutted with the Chelsea result as a loss or a draw would have been brilliant. Just hope we beat Norwich now and take it to Anfield against Chelsea. We really need to keep it up. Didn't expect us to be in this position at all.

Glad you had a great time, man. My brother came up from down south as he was offered 3 season tickets for this game. He took his half brother and 5 year old son to his first ever Liverpool game. What a way to watch your first game - the little fella was made up and got interviewed on Sky Sports News! Huge huge couple of games. Its mental that you're still top, but completely deserved. Never seen so much passion from LFC and every fan (bar City, Chelsea, Utd and a few bitter blues) wants you to win this. Its the most capitulating conclusion to a Premier League in its history, in my opinion. No-one expected you within a sniff and to even finish in the top 4 would have been a massive achievement.
