Those fouls stats are useless. They should include every time the ref also indicates play on. It would certainly level up the numbers if not actually be in our favour. We just play through so many fouls it's ridiculous. None of them ever get brought back either unlike some teams who play on for a couple of minutes and when they lose the ball the foul is then awarded.Thing that got me was the number of fouls given against City, think it was the 56th minute before brentford had a free given against them, by then City already had eight against them.
If ever proof was needed that teams set up differently against us than they do against other clubs, it was there for all to see tonight. Brentford were so open against Littlewoods, compared to this evening, it was like night and day.

His assist came in handy though.Have any of alvarezs shots landed yet?
What is our record against the top 6?Make or break, going of our record against the top 6 so far this season I'm not feeling very optimistic.
It’s hard to disagree with this tonight. Even when we had opportunities to counter we got just inside their half and stopped and recycled the ball to the back 4.Completely disagree with that. Liverpool attacked them with pace, intent and energy, they pressured their defenders into mistakes and exploited gaps. We played slow ponderous football, going side to side without purpose for a lot of the match, forced them back and they seemed more than comfortable to defend with everything infront of them.
They were no better tonight than they were when the dippers thumped them, it was our poor attacking play that caused the result to be so tight.
And a clean sheet is a particularly pleasing bonus for half of the team.As every middle aged married man will tell you, while its not easy on the eye, the end result is far more important than the performance
The Dippers didnt have to work hard for their four goals at Brentford , they were all gifts through horrendous defending just basic errors and nothing to do with the Dippers pressure and Brentford also found themselves one on one with the Dippers keeper on a couple of occasions.Completely disagree with that.

It's so hard now 99% of teams against us play 11 behind the ball I don't think there is another team in world football that comes up against that.As every middle aged married man will tell you, while its not easy on the eye, the end result is far more important than the performance
Dont get me wrong but I like liver with opinion sometimes .what’s with all the fruit and vegetables in your posts? :D
Bournemouth away won’t be easy before that. Got to win that and the derby and go into the Liverpool game within a point. Do that and I see us beating Liverpool and Arsenal. Drop points before we go to Liverpool and title could be over in March.Look at our fixtures in March and tell me you aren't at least a little bit worried
Some woman and Michael Bridges.I had USA and the comms was excellent. Dunno who it was
