Liverpool (A) Post Match Thread

[Machiavelli]

Meh-rez.

 

[blueinsa]

Would have took the draw before and the point takes us back top.

We largely nullified their threat so a very good performance from that viewpoint.

Going forwards though we where off today and as for the penalty miss and what went on before ive nowt to say other than anyone can miss so im wont crucify the man but as to who should have took it, only Pep can say.

All that aside Atkinson was their man of the match, absolutely brilliant for them yet again.

 

[Chi-town blues]

Fuck it shit happens .

Top of the league

 

[Blue Smarties]

Genuinely didn’t fancy of our players on the pitch to score that penalty, but Mahrez would have been low on the list even so

He’s Brazil’s no.9, ffs. You can’t take a penalty off him when your own record is so wank.

 

[Mancity1980]

Mahrez isn't good enough.

Not just the pen but he gives the ball away far too often.

3 pens not given and when we get one Mahrez fucking skies it.

Awful.

Disagree, Mahrez showed enough quality to be in outside. As he adjusts to our style he will be a key player. Just don’t let him take any more pens!

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

also don't act like gabriel is a great penalty taker, he's missed two of the three he's taken for us

 

[BlueMoonRisin’]

Why the fuck did Mahrez take that?! Ah well, would’ve taken a point beforehand.

I wasn't happy happy, Bernardo should be taking them when Aguero is not on the pitch.

 

[domalino]

I think that missed penalty is us finally paying the price for Jesus' poor form. If he's scoring goals and confident he takes that and it's not give to Mahrez who has a poor record.

We need to get him back up and running after the international break.

 

[homerdog]

Ref was almost as bad as that miss by Mahrez!

 

[vmsuhail]

These were there for the taking if the players had more belief

This match should give them a lot of belief, I'm sure.

 

[DenisLawBackHeel74]

Great point considering our form here.....but fuck me it feels like a defeat.

 

[I'm With Stupid]

Unbelievable that Mahrez was allowed to take that penalty. Not our normal penalty taker, and missed 5 in 8. What the fuck were they thinking? Until then, I was delighted with the result, but you can't be happy with a draw when you get a penalty at the end of the game.

 

[Tb1981]

I thought Mahrez played really well
Great team display
Gutted didn’t win but we have kdb to come back and undefeated
Looks good to me

 

[paulchapo]

Why when you have missed so many penalties would you grab the fucking ball with six minutes to go, why?? Good composed performance and even with the penalty miss we could have nicked it but so bloody frustrating,!

 

[TFC]

I'd have been happy enough with a draw before kick off but fuck me that's a kick in the stones.

 

[BerkshireBlue]

This is a clarkie right?

Nope the orders came from the bench. Marhez wanted Jesus to take it

 

[asaluttar]

I know it seems like points dropped, but played better, they hardly had a chance, also had a penalty.
Pretty big improvement with our best, most critical player missing I would say, especially defensively.

 

[vin]

Mendy is calamitous at the back. Kolarov MK2 (but he can’t shoot)

 

[MichaelFrontzeck'sBathroom]

Gutted about the pen, Spanish dave or bernando should ve taken it.

Good result in the grand scheme of things.

 

[avoidconfusion]

Fuck sake, Mahrez.

Who else takes it though? Jesus and Dave are shit at penalties for us, the rest, it's a lottery.

You can't miss the target though, absolutely shite penalty. Somehow 2 points dropped at Anfield but a point better than last season.

Ederson!!

Fucking hate how Mahrez demanded it from Jesus. On another note: Congratulations to Liverpool for winning the "We drew against Man City" trophy.
