Decisions have gone our way, don't notice many on here crying after we beat Everton in league cup semi at the etihad, when the ball was clearly run out of play before crossing and scoring a game changing goal, we have had our share of luck, thing is people only remember the decisions against us

Don’t forget the amount of pens Franny Lee got.

I think Pep doesn’t trust some players and doesn’t have the depth of coverage required when injuries occur. Imagine a scenario where KDB and Fernandinho got injuries at same time....nightmare!

He likes to work with about 16 players. When any of them are unavailable, we see a kid on the bench to make up the numbers. Need 4 players for next season: Central defender (not sure if Tosin or Sandler ready to move up), TWO WORLD CLASS midfielders, and at least one striker/winger (goal scorer!) willing to be part of a rotation.

I expect Fernandinho to be one of the centre backs next season, but I'd be mortified if we go into it with only one functioning left back again.

This is what pisses me off, after every defeat we always pull the world is against us card, it's never we got it wrong, it's never we were not good enough, first thing everyone does is blame someone else

I'm more pissed off people willing to accept game changing blunders by corrupt/incompetent match officials... don't you realise you're inviting more of the same? If you think we are happy that we have the ref or linesman to blame so often you are dead wrong, we are sick of having to mention them... if we lose without that being a factor there's little else to wonder about other than our own players and tactics but we can't do that... don't you see?

The small margins matter on big calls like that, some were unforgivably bad calls, we are left wondering what if he had got that right would they have gotten back into that game? Would we have had that 15 minute collapse at the back? Would we have kept that momentum and gone on to win that game?

So I guess Liverpool fans will feel they did their bit smashing our bus. I wonder if they’ll just do that for every big home game?

I wouldn’t mind it was proved it hadn’t gone out of play at the time & didn’t they get a dodgy goal in the first leg & we had a pen turned down.

Anyway apart from that outrageous lucky decision lol wtf happened recently?

Exactly. Would love to know how many decisions have gone for/against this season.

It's pretty obvious how much we're owed.
 
First time this season i've been disappointed with Pep. Him and the ref have previous. Don't give him any excuse.

When you need cool heads, those players look to the manager... who is sat in the gods.

No I don't, were corrupt officials to blame for Liverpool having 2 shots and scoring both? I agree ref didn't have a great game, but to blame the refs for every defeat we have is becoming tiring

One game changing decision in our favour many months ago compared to half a dozen against in a week. What is your point?

You mention the semi final against Everton. I was at the first leg at Everton, their winner should of been disallowed as Lukaku was impeding Willy.
So the ONE decision you managed to find doesn't stack up.
 
Sad to see a few kick offs in family stand tonight. It was going off for a good 5 minutes with young kids being pushed around.

A young Liverpool fan who looked a bit geeky to be honest was taking plenty of hits even whilst walking out.

No police and very little stewards. Poor from the club tonight as security was needed all around the stadium. Very poor.

Stupid going in and away end so I have no sympathy for him but cmon blues it’s the family stand and it was over the top.

CCTV should be used to see why that ticket was sold and how it got to a few Liverpool fans.

Glad I left my 8 year old at home tonight because that would be the end of her at games if she saw that

We don't blame them for every defeat but read my edit... it explains my point better.
 
Don't buy Into this idea of blaming everything on the defence either, yes over the two legs there was a few cock ups that could be avoided but thats always going to happen regardless of personnel, we had 3 defensive minded players on the pitch tonight, of course they're going to struggle at times.

For the defence to play well we need to play with Intensity at all times out of possession. First half we did that and we looked solid at the back, they couldn't get our and when they did the defence snuffed out the out balls and we recycled possession and kept the Intensity up. second half, much like the second half against united we lacked any intensity with or without the ball. Without that, we're extremely vulnerable just due to the way we play as it gives the opposition time on the ball to pick the right pass and get players forward to mount an attack.

We can maybe put some of that down to tiredness but if that's the case it's peps doing, many questioned his lack of rotation during the season for key players in games that we should manage without them. I think the derby was the first league game KDB hasn't started all season and he looks visibly knackered of late, there's various other examples too without going too far into it, I understand some players had to play a lot due to a lack of options and some not performing but the likes of Gundogan, Bernardo and Danilo were vastly under utilised in the first few months of the season.

The disallowed goal made a huge difference.
The crowd fucking off with 15 minutes left was a disappointment
We are seeing last year's pre christmas team in action - 2 shots, 2 goals tonight, 3 shots 3 goals against Salford and 3 shots 3 goals against this lot last week. If we had similar finishing...

Two questions:
1) What time did you leave the ground?
2) What the fuck has Salford to do with anything? The rancid rag twats don't play in Salford.

Personally think if the decisions had been called correctly over the 2 legs, it would've been a completely different result. Certainly wouldn't have been 5-1 on agg.
