Does Rodri miss Liverpool after that booking?

I’m assuming not, surely we’d have never heard the end of it otherwise ?

I said it in the game thread, this was like the 3-3 at Newcastle early on last season, it was the worst defensive display of the season, we had not control and everytime Newcastle attacked they looked like scoring, that type of game never happened again last season and Pep will make sure tonight never happens again this season, Chelsea played out of their skins and we still got a point, so we'll take it and move on.

Good shout re last year and hope you're right. And I think you will be.

Sloppy game that the neutral will have loved but I feel a bit deflated as we led 3 times and couldn't control the game to secure the 3 points.

Top of the league going into the international break though so overall I'm happy.

I hope we crush the dippers in 2 weeks time.

Need to defend a hell of a lot better in that one. Likely to be another high scoring game that

Yes

Christ. I’m sure even Dias will take responsibility for his own performance today.

Still cannot believe Walker took that free kick.

Same here. Maybe if we were 6-0 up, but other than that a wank decision.

This is how I see it.

One final thing, Walker can’t even pick out a cross so what makes him think he can put the ball in the top corner via a free kick?

That’s all I have to say.

That Doku chance at 3-2....he really needs to bury those. Very frustrating because he's got the shift and shoot perfected but no accuracy.

In the replay it was clear Phil was wide open for a tap in, a two goal lead at that time would probably have killed the game. Pep saw it and hooked him straight away. Doku will learn from that. re Palmer, a monumental bollock dropped by us, and when Lavia is fit we may see another one. I called it when we bought Philips and sold Lavia in the same window. Time will tell. Personally I'd help Kalvin on to a new club in January and recall Tommy Doyle. When a coach/club tells a young player "we believe in you" they can be transformed overnight. Given the game time Kelvin will get in 2024 we should give those minutes to Rico and Tommy.

 

[Champions again in 2012]

That was some game. At 2-2 I said to the other half I’d take a point but on that showing Chelsea will be pushing united and Tottenham out of a top 4 finish. I know, I know there is a long way to go

Assume it has been mentioned but just remembered it, but how funny how hard they tried to disallow Haaland’s second, lol
