Reminds me of the old skool Liverpool between 2008 and 2015. Absolute shite, but always raised their game against the champions.
Let's hope they are entering a new phase of mediocrity.

First goal was always going to win that game, unfortunately, ours was chalked off, theirs wasn't.

Did Haaland have a single good chance?


Pep has explained often that he doesn’t make changes just because we fall behind or we haven’t scored, He keeps things the same as long as the game is going the way he wants, if we are on top in possession and creating chances.


So how do you get to 75/80 minutes without creating a single chance for your goalscoring machine and think “Nothing needs changing here, this is going fine”?

Bringing on Alvarez for 1 minute is a piss take as well, clearly he’s not expecting the kid to do anything, so what’s the reasoning behind that?

We will still win the league, this match doesn’t change anything there, but it’s certainly got me tempering any CL hopes.

He had. He had a header completely alone, a 1v1 against Allison, a good pass from KDB that he was not as fast as usual, and a pass from a great Gundo play that he fucked up with his first touch and made his shooting more difficutl. Did you even watch the match?

Eh? We drew both games 2-2 last season.

Think he means cup semi, charity shield and today.

Despite the possession had no control of the game today, never quietened the crowd, too many aimless punts and poor passes

Bernardo put a smile on my face today. Absolute legend!!! :)

He and Rhodri were immense today.

Cancelo is a left back and never fucking plus right back again

That's the last time I ever get confident again going to anfield. :(

Always knew they'd turn out for their cup final and run around a lot for old times sake. Not that arsed about our goal - a shame, but if they'd have done the same and it was allowed I would've unhappy so fair enough. In the end they got lucky with a training ground pass from Alison to Salah.
Ultimately they spent most of the game playing for a point in their own ground, and the last bit desperately hanging on to the lead. They will go home tonight knowing that it was 110% dippers against 85% city in their own backyard and they were lucky.

Shirt pull is a clear foul, and Haaland didn't reach the ball before the goalkeeper.

Keeper didn't have control of the ball and Taylor let those fouls go all day.
