Liverpool (A) | PL | Post-Match Thread

Too conservative. Looked like we were worried about them and Pep's selection must put doubts in the players minds because we're concentrating more on their strengths than we are on ours. We looked scared playing on the half turn just incase they nicked it and countered. All felt a little too safe.

Akanji didn't look comfortable in that wide 3 and wasn't able to find that out ball to Cancelo often enough.

Just don't understand why we have changed our way of playing against a severely weakened Liverpool team who have been rocking recently.

He was about 8 metres from it, clear view from the angle he was standing and looking straight at it. He let it go, as he had with virtually every tussle up to that and after. He only blew for cynical fouls.

I’ve watched the replay a few times and I’m not sure with that angle he does see it. If he did though, he should have told VAR and not even gone to the monitor.

It’d still be a poor decision though.

Would have changed the game. Fact is it didnt, and when they scored we got everything we deserved because the diving in defending was amateur and a joke

I didn't even notice it at the time, it's a nothing challenge. It's a different game if that isn't disallowed.

Exactly.

That’s making the assumption he did see it fully in the first place though, which I’m not sure he did.

If he saw it and deemed it not a foul and that goal had been against us, then I’d be equally angry at him for not giving a pretty clear foul tbh.

The ref waved play on intimating he saw it clearly

He saw Fabinho go to ground, whether he saw the shirt pull only he can say.

If he did, then I’d still be critical of him if that had happened at the other end.

Var is shite
Irrespective of result
More talking points now than before var
Btw we did not deserve anything today

You think liverpool thoroughly deserved the win then!

Think todays loss was a due to a few factors.

First one being that we tend to rock up to Anfield with a sense of fear and play within ourselves. This is a collective issue from the manager the players right down to the fans. We always seem more worried to not lose rather than desperate to win.

Second issue the set up did seem abit odd with KDB just lingering on the right side and no proper RW outlet. Plus as mentioned prior him and Gundo either side of Haaland trying to press.

Third issue no matter what formation or tactics you play when you have 11 elite players on the pitch you still should be able to create some goal scoring opportunities and be able to do the basics at the back, which I feel we failed to do. Far too many players with sub par displays.

All the above added together is never going to end with 3pts. Think it’s best to brush this under the carpet and move forward. Luckily for us the tittle won’t be won or lost after todays display at Anfield. We have another 28 games left to play.

Brief objective assessment. A fair result would have been 0-0. It was a foul by Erling. We always seem to bottle it at Anfield. Tactics were more concerned with not losing. No subs when losing with 15 minutes to go.
I detest Liverpool and Klopp. My Chicken Madras post match was crap.

Same as always, an important
goal is scored against Liverpool and England (the VAR twat) looks for an excuse to not give it.

Fuck it, there’ll be bigger games this season than these cunts. Wish pep wouldn’t wank them off so fucking much though, it knocks me sick.

Even if klopp was on the brink after a run of 10 winless games they would probably still win this game. There are some managers that can just sus pep out. Jose mourinio, conte, and definitely klopp. I’d still take our pep over any of them. Sorry everyone I’m still pissed off losing to these.
