Liverpool (A) Post Match Thread

Without the soft yellow on Cancelo, Sala gets fouled before their first goal because that attempt of a tackle on the half way line was a disgrace.
Oh well I guess when Tierney opens that brown envelope left in his kit bag he can feel proud of himself.

No one can explain it either, as to why Milner didn't get a second yellow. They are even suggesting that maybe he didn't give a yellow because it was Milner and he's a wily, veteran player. You don't referee based on the player, if he commits a cynical foul it's a yellow. Its an effing joke, everyone knew it was a yellow and even Klopp admitted it in the interview with NBCSN.

Lawrenson got his prediction of a draw correct.
He also said these games are settled by fine margins.
Fine margins that only ever go one way.
* non existent pens for dippers
* cast iron pens against dippers not given
* blatant one sided reffing
* pigmol

The above asterisk are the new definitions for fine margins.

You're more cynical than me ;-)
 
i thought we were playing Stoke in H1 with all the booing and packed pool defence...

Excellent first half by city overall and should have been up at the break. Milner should have been off....

Start to H2 was awful, we stopped playing and looked a bit disjointed, their pressure down the left began to show, Milner earned a second red card but stayed on!!!! Poor defending for 2-1. Cancelo at fault for me.

After Grealish went off we actually started to pose more of a threat down the left, fantastic team goal put away by Kev, and really, from there we should have put the game beyond doubt ....

Silva for me was unplayable in some phases of play in the first and second halves, I really hope he stays and fulfills the potential we all know he has.....

Onwards blues !!

Back 8 pretty much pick themselves. It's the front 3 where the problems lie.

Best player for the left is Foden.

For me the only player who can play centre forward and score goals is Torres.

That leaves the right hand side. Currently Jesus deserves the spot.

Not sure what has happened to Mahrez. Last year he was an automatic pick.

I'd still have Mahrez over Jesus, still not convinced by Gabby on the right
 
Has the forum discussed Ederson yet?

One great long pass to Foden shouldnt distract from standing in the wrong place for Salah’s goal (too close to the post) and then wandering at a cross, missing it to leave an opposition player with an open goal.

Wishful thinking on their part, how do we know that the chances created today for example would have happened if a recognised striker was playing?

In which case we need more clinical midfielders.
Phil's finish showed how accurate he can be, and things might have been different had he showed the same prowess with his excellent chance in the first half.
The dippers don't have many players good enough for our squad, but they have pace and clinical finishers. That gets you lots of points over a season even if many come from the spot after the pacey players get tripped up by the white lines marking the penalty area. Hopefully they and the rags will have post-Christmas blips as they did last season.
