Liverpool (A) Post Match Thread

He is a midfielder not a winger

The one on Foden in the first half with Milner - if you are talking about that one it wasnt a penalty cause it was outside the area (it was a foul) but VAR doesnt get involved with fouls which result in penalties (or not)

The foul continued into the box.
And even if it wasn’t a penalty it was a red card all day long, clearest denial of a goalscoring opportunity you’ll see

If we had a decent striker would we have had three wins in the last week? Need Gundo back doing his thing.

 

[Damanino]

when we are on top and we control the game we rarely can make it count i dont know why is that. its so frustrating. a top striker is so much needed, because lets be honest Sterling, Grealish centrally is not good enough, Torres is not trusted vs stronger opponents by Pep.

Serioulsy if we had just a veteran striker with some killer instinct and some pace, all the creators we have would come alive and start putting balls in the box for someone to actually finish them instead of the pressure being on them to deliver goals which clearly they struggle with on a clinical level at least...

said before the game I am happy with a draw, so 2-2 is ok, apart from two things:
we should have been 1-0 up at HT given our dominance, control.
and Milner should have not been on the pitch I hope Pep risks a touchline ban to mention and question the Foden fault and the Bernardo fault how they were not a clear fault and yellow.

Very very proud of this team after that week. Already played Leicester, spurs, Chelsea, Liverpool away and we're 2 points off top. And to be perfectly honestly we played a B team at spurs. Away to Chelsea, psg and dippers in 8 days. If we add a striker and KDB gets into the groove we are laughing

 

[Eccles Blue]

He didn't have the confidence to go through at the end and win it for us though

Mmmm that could just be something to do with the fact that no matter what the poor lad does he will be criticised by his own team’s ‘supporters’! He ends up lacking confidence because he knows he will get the brown stuff for it anyway!!

He plays for Manchester City, the best team in the land in all the world! Therefore he gets my support!

 

[SidJames]

Robbed in Liverpool who'd of thought it.

 

[Utter bobbins]

You think Milner didn’t deserve a red?

What you talking about idiot

Bizzare

No different to Grealish in terms of changing the game though. Lacked confidence when he had a chance to shoot.

He caused problems and unfortunate on a couple of occasions not to set up a colleague.

That tackle by rodri!!

 

[FogBlueInSanFran]

I’m exhausted. In part it’s the four hours of sleep. But it’s also because I saw 95 minutes of two heavyweights going toe-to-toe belting the snot out of each other. Obviously the sheer incompetent boobery of a referee giving one yellow to a player who had three (one of which wasn’t even whistled as a foul) sours the result a little, but the character we showed was so heartening. About the most entertaining point we’ve won in a while. Silva, Foden, Jesus, Cancelo (in attack); Eddie and Rodri with heroic saves; KDB playing like shit for 70 minutes then suddenly morphing into Kevin again . . . what a watch! Time for a nap!

 

[JRockBlues]

Said before the game that I'd've taken a point so I shouldn't be disappointed yet I am. Milner should've had about 5 yellow cards never mind just 2 along with a possible straight red too.

Amazing what some people watch

Amazing what some people cannot see.

 

[rodders]

Team !!
We're such a team. Everyone plays as equals. It's a joy to experience.
Top performance guys.

This is shaping up to be our best under Pep, and that'll take some beating. Just need that last piece with a top finisher and we're gonna take some stopping.

Team !!

 

[Phil1]

By the way, you’ve got to be a special kind of **** to be digging out Sterling after that game.
Oh, and that was Grealish’s worst game since he signed so as much as I’ve praised him today didn’t happen for him.
Phil showed again why he deserved my name change :-)

 

[Afterthefact]

What you talking about idiot

It’s outright fraud some of this refereeing.

 

[Blue Til Death]

Bizzare

No, just bent…!!

 

[Gumzy97]

We don’t need a superstar striker, we just need a striker, Danny ings would be top scorer for us right now and possibly in the league if we signed him which is ridiculous to say but it’s true we create so so many opportunities any striker would be scoring 20 a season here, thats all we are missing right now. does not have to be Haaland. Nunez , Vlahovic , Toney even bludy Lacazette would score tons in this team

Our team is a strikers wet dream. With the amount of chances they would get. An average striker would get 16 plus in a full season

 

[Gazza]

I can only think that VAR couldn't get involved because there was a foul but it was outside the box.
