Liverpool (H) Post-Match Thread

[Man_City_Loyal]

I heard Jose say some one else is actually the ref now, some one in a room

That is the problem, we all disliked certain decisions but we accepted them in time

It was better before

VAR Red now overrules the ref on the pitch

 

[Grassland Blue]

The referees decision should be final.
VAR = video ASSISTANT referee...

 

[give it to gordon]

Same reason the scousers got a free kick after VAR said no foul by Walker
It’s because the refs are fucking useless

Yea I saw that, the commentary team said the board was wrong.
Why not put on the board" foul outside box".
It was confusing saying no foul by Walker yet Walker was booked and liverpool free kick.

I watched the game again this morning, a few things caught my eye.

One was how often they by pass the midfield, knowing we play the high line it was long ball after long ball, almost Wimbledon esq but without the big man

Two, was if you get at the full backs it totally nullifys them as an attacking unit.

Three, how shit is Allison, the best goalkeeper in the whole wide world, he didn't get near any of the goals, the Mahrez disallowed goal was shocking keeping, almost de gea standards, beaten at his near post, finally how many clearances did he slice into the stands under no pressure at all, dog shit.

My sentiments exactly mate, he gives it out in spades but cries like a bitch when some comes back.. His favourite party trick is shoving people into pitch side hoardings, which I have yet to see him punished for...

I did fear the worst when he came charging out like a school boy at Foden I thought he was going to take Foden out. But Foden turned brilliantly and slotted it away like a season pro

It was one of them games when I wished fans could have been there , I think the atmosphere would have been immense despite losing league.
Would certainly have been better than the 2 home derbies which were poor for derbies imo.

My arse in parsley !

Is that an offer?

Asking for a mate.....

 

[salfordbluetrue]

Was salad offside when eddie came out? The flag didnt go up,i thought here we go again

I do not think so , the 3 off sides were early on, and for me designed to cause confusion within our defense just like last time

 

[jimmygrimblesboots]

Clearly a different game to you then. Checked the stats from the game and he didn't make a single interception though, but technically countless would still be right! He was awful under the press in the first half, kept giving it away. His pass completion was 87% when he's usually up at 96%. Given time on the ball he is quality, his pass to Jesus was good (but you'd expect him to make it). Just my observation. We didn't start well under their high press and he was the main reason. But it's irrelevant as we battered them!

Your whole basis of your reply is "stats" but you fail to produce these stats despite two requests , show me the stat that proves Gundogan did not make one interception, and his average pass completion is not 96% either , the only irrelevance is your opinion which you base on lies.Just my observation :)

I was saying this to my mate.

sly-sports (moaning Tyler), saying he rushed out again, but that’s bollox. He came to close Foden down and Phil teased him with the ball and played a perfect 1-2. Finish was mint.

Of all the wankathons over dipper players, the Allison one baffles me the most.

I've never, ever seen him make a save he shouldn't make.

I've never seen him be particularly commanding in the air on set pieces.

I've never seen him be particularly good with his feet.

I've never watched him and had one of those "fuck me he's some player" moments.

I just dont get all the fuss.

If he was still at Roma, you'd never hear a peep about him.

The scousers that I know (None of them from Liverpool) have gone silent, they were genuinely shocked into silence how the best team ever in the 'istree of the world got tonked by City.

One decent mickey i know came and said to me yesterday, ''Thanks for the footballing lesson last night.''
Not a fucking peep out of the plastic ones though.

I'd be half decent in net with Van dijk in front of me.

The ability to handle defeat eludes most teams. I have endured many years of being laughed at and ridiculed for my City connection but recognise my late dad's observation that being a City fan is character building.
Not sure such advice will help Shankly followers but having to contend with a real heavy defeat by a recognised opponent may be too much for some of them.

I think a period of coming to terms with the reality will take place rather than the brazen invitation for others to take the piss ( my usual old City reaction when results bad).

I do hope they can see in the long term that the media built this expectation and perhaps an appeal to the fa or.a petition to make a heavy loss illegal may help.

Reminded me when Messi nutmegged Milner on the touchline, east stand, one European game. Comparing Phil to Messi, who would have thought it.

His 1,2,3,4,5 goal is on a par with some of Messi's best. Beautiful balance and deceptive speed.

 

[Chi-town blues]

That turn from foden, kdb’s laser pass and golden boy goal . What a play !

 

[CelesteItis]

Great tactical analysis:

The only response i got was that City raised their game because the crowd noise was louder. Everyone skulked away.I not posted anything to them since the game, my lack of response and indifference is killing them
