[No1 was Colin bell]

First off we where not robbed and maybe we should have had more injury time but we where absolutely terrible tonight and deserved nothing from this game . Defence has been shit all season and as for Kyle Walker how the hell did he a new contract because he is costing us week in week out and to blast the ball over when we are chasing the gane is just wrong as is our top striker who we are not allowed to criticise but that performance tonight was one of the reasons we didn’t get the win . Don’t blame the ref as this is on the team and pep needs to sort if and it’s a big if we can win title .

Why on earth he let Sterling cut inside for the goal is beyond me. I mean he did that many times for us. Show him down the line Kyle!!

Can't believe people are slating Doku.

Frustrating thing is I expected that performance from seeing the line up, Alvarez has never performed well in midfield, Akanji cannot play DM. Injuries are not an excuse, Phil could have played centrally, at worst Kova and Nunes should be playing there instead. Cant help but feel Peps tactics had a negative impact on the game tonight.

Haaland looked absolutely sick at the end. Watch out, Brentford.

Penalties aside (I think the second half ones were pens just not the Haaland one first half) it’s the 4 minutes that winds me up. Chelsea wasted time so much, they even got booked for it. When that happend at Arse they get 10 mins! We are being totally mugged off!

Just getting sick and tired with the game, cheating week in week out.
1) Red top teams opponents seem to get soft early cards. Chelsea had 4 in the first half at Anfield. Us, nah foul at will, its okay. Dippers 19 fouls today, 1 card.
2) 100% nailed on penalty for a red top team at the end. Us, nah nothing to see. on a Day Dippers got away with one of the most blatant penalties you will see and Arsenal awarded one for a dive.
3) 4 minutes added on was a piss take. Arsenal had 10 again today and would have in this game.

That said, we were shocking, esp first half. Akverez in midfield kills us, as does Akanji stepping into midfield. We are dreadful attacking, 5 shots on target from 32 attempts is embarrassing and its been that way all season.

This is why we will fall short this season, forget our leaky defence , we create enough to score 5 plus most games but we are fucking hopeless in putting the ball in the back of the net, even our goal had to take a deflection to go in.
Haaland for all his goals is killing us atm, hardly involved yet last season everything he hit went in and won us games, cant hit a barn door this season, perhaps over achieved, too many award ceremonies and believing his own hype this season. No excuse not to have scored today.

We create chances for fun where Dippers/Arsenal dont but they atm are far far more clinical than us.

The Stones/Akanji into midfield no longer works, teams have sussed it, Alverez is not a midfielder, Doku is not ready, poor team selection today-and we are constantly cut open on the break or by one long pass

That last minute penalty btw, I am convinced it is. He moves his arm to the ball and changes its momentum and direction. I just cannot for the life of me understand why no one else thinks it was a penalty.

 

[vanchi]

Id start him midweek but if he has another game like today i would drop him for the next match.
No one should be undroppable

pep won’t drop haaland

 

[Bluemanc100]

Honestly, it’s pure bias if you think that’s a pen. Walker stuck his leg infront of Sterling as he was running. What do people expect to happen? Of course they were going to trip up. But the trip is manufactured by Walker. If you remove the blue specs this is literally what happened.

It’s a foul anywhere else on the pitch….

So why not in the box?

 

[MCFC1993]

My argument would be that it's also in Liverpool's hands too ... So who's hands belong to who?

Still in ours is all I care about.
