Liverpool (A) | PL | Post Match Thread

One thing is for sure, these Guardiola City v Klopp Liverpool encounters always deliver. Pulsating action, sublime football. Clashes of styles but two teams on the front foot.

For all the guff about United v Liverpool as the biggest game in years gone by, they were always horrible games to watch. Just frenetic without any class, the ball was out of play more than in
It's been THE greatest ever period of top flight football. I don't think it will ever be surpasses.

The media missed it all due to spitting their dummies out.

And yet they still had an hour and half build up to the Rags vs Everton game on Saturday.
That tells you all you need to know
 
The embarrassing twats crying all over social media. Perhaps if you didn't fall over at every available opportunity in the box when there's little or no contact the ref might have more sympathy - yes you Salah you cheating ****!

The ball arrived between them at a really awkward height, probably between chest and waist, I think its valid to go with a foot for that ball. Its dangerous use of the head (believe it or not) to try to head that and makes contact with him. Clearly to me McAllistair throws himself at Doku with his head turned away from any contact - he wasn't attempting to win the ball merely initiating the contact and then faking he was fouled. There was barely any contact with the side of Dokus boot yet he rolled around on the floor as if he'd been jujitsued with studs - pitiful. Does anyone think he was hurt by that - really? No me neither. I also think the ref is shielded from the actual contact and just sees him go down. He realised theres no force in the challenge and then waits to see if there is any referral by VAR. There wasn't. Added to the fact they had spent the last 5 minutes throwing themselves on the floor in the box - he knew what was going on. Awarding a penalty in the 10th minute of 8 minutes extra time for that would have been a fucking travesty, I was as surprised as everyone he didnt as it was Anfield where onfield cheating is par for the course. The feral cunts of course get the victim card out every time it affects them. Get fucked we've been bent over there more times than I care to remember - think yourselves lucky Jezza hit the post and the rebound doesn't go to Foden.
As it happened in real time I thought we were in trouble, but watched it on slow mo and came to the opposite conclusion. He jumps up straight, he keeps his studs down, he only his eye on the ball, he touches the ball first. If you start chucking yourself at a player going for the ball at an awkward height then we are going to be giving penalties all over the place.
 
Very poor performance today. Getting overun in midfield far too often & couldnt keep the ball long enough.
Not one to judge Pep but I thought Haaland was very poor today & should have been substituted instead of DeBruyne.
Was in the right place for the Silva cross. If VVD doesn't clear, goal.
Was in the right place when Foden shot. If he'd crossed, goal.
Robbed VVD and set up an attack.
Despite Danny Murphy's swooning on MOTD2, I thought he did great against VVD in the run on goal, should have finished better.
Played a great ball out to Doku that led to him hitting the post.

Fine margins and opinions!
 
Nice spin on it but there was a period where our shape had gone and we were all over the place as they ran us ragged. You could have driven a bus through the middle as a besieged Rodri resembled Custer on Last Stand Hill. Silva, Kev, Foden and Alvarez were shrugged aside as they poured through and round us. We have suffered similar moments this Season when we have no defensive midfielders bar Rodri but they were just moments this tide went on and on and we lost the battles of physical and mental strength until the changes which restored some normality.
Yeah. We were fortunate they weren’t 20 mins too late. Couldn’t believe how long it took to get Kovacic on.
 
I was waiting by the stairs to exit but my daughter was a few people behind so I moved so that others could leave and she told me to move as I was blocking the stairs to which I pointed out that so was she and a colleague which was making things worse. She then swore at me and tried to wave me on my way. I think they genuinely believe that they can behave and speak in any way they want as the club won't do anything and if anyone complains they know nothing will happen.

That's exactly it mate, it's a scouse thing they're like that everywhere you encounter them. Aggressive gobby shits.

Spot on and luckily for us their finishing for once was awry. Diaz alone could have had a hat trick. Only Villa have run us ragged similar to that and we had a few injuries that night.

I am not sure what Pep was playing at not changing it when we were getting battered. We desperately needed more strength in midfield. We could easily have been in the end of a hiding. Sure we could have scored a couple ourselves but they'll be kicking themselves they didn't win that.

I'm not sure what's changed with our tactics this season. I know people will say, "We're one point off the top and in the quarter finals of the fa cup and champions league." That is correct but we're very vulnerable even against poor sides. Huddersfield, who hardly had a kick created four decent chances against us. We'll see how it pans out but we really have to tighten up.
