Quite right , in the last 12 PL meetings we've lost just two , admittedly both at Anfield

Yet the media are pushing the Klopp 8 Pep 7 wins in the head to head?

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

That 5-1 aggregate defeat remains our heaviest over 180 minutes. Since equalled by the dippers. However Lincoln did it without several bent decisions.

I don't think a lot of our younger/more recent supporters realise just how crap we were, and some of our older fans seem to have blanked it from their memories.

Our performance at the weekend was a million miles away from those days.

 

[Protein Junkie]

I simply don't understand how ten men can run around like absolute maniacs for ninety minutes and not appear to get tired. Their pressing from about the twentieth minute was unreal. They were forcing mistakes out of us.
And they do it match after match. No other team can do that. Not one. Not in the PL, not in Europe. So how is it possible?

So what are you implying? :-)

 

[ZanteWeatherman]

Agreed, but I think Kova next to Rodri could have given us that - big mistake by Pep to start with Alvarez (who was poor).

Agreed, but loads are saying Gundo this, Mahrez that blah blah. They're gone boys, let's get over it and move on.

 

[Lovebitesandeveryfing]

So what are you implying? :-)

Nothing. it really is a mystery to me.
If they're using performance-enhancing medicine, or drugs, (which is what everybody assumes) why would they have been allowed to get away with it for so long? Years? Because absolutely everybody (the authorities, the media, other teams's fans) is terrified of LFC the way that the entire neighbourhood in Little Italy was terrified of Vito Corleone??

 

[Big Yaya Wilko 12]

I know you are a fucking fanny wipe and piss poor wum, but that's pathetic even by your low standards.

Nah you’re right.

We were brilliant and the title’s in our hands!

 

[Big Yaya Wilko 12]

So you fancy Liverpool to win their next 10 Premier League fixtures which would make it a run of 15 unbeaten with 14 victories?

If they do that then they'll fully deserve the title.

They won't though and it's far from over.

No but I don’t think we’ll clean sweep it

 

[Phil1]

Who the fuck woke big Yaya up? His optimism transcends that of us mere mortals..

Have you forgotten that most of the dippers squad has asthma ? [emoji6]

"we should have won"

Rubbish, first 10 minutes apart when we were superb they destroyed us.

We had no midfield, a defence that looked vulnerable every time they were attacked and a non existent forward line, Foden apart.

Haaland , KDB and Alvarez were passengers, a traffic cone would have done more work than Haaland.

This has been a magnificent team and I would never question them but for me were are not good enough this season, look tired and leggy and so predictable.

The above I agree with you wholeheartedly and yet unbelievably we still came away from that game with a draw and almost snatched a win with Doku hitting the post towards the end.
We haven’t been a patch on last seasons fluidity but we are still within one point of the leaders and yes we have a bit of a hard run in and it will be difficult for us but we have been there before and done it, so I’m not giving up hope yet.

 

[brazilians hurt]

I read over 70% of their players were asthmatic whilst premier league average was about 20%
Not sure what that means so I have generalised that they are definitely cheating scouse scumbags. I maybe wrong though but I am unlikely to change my opinion

 

[SamBlue]

Big mistake starting Alvarez. He was excellent coming on v rags tbf but apart from a few occassions and the unreal standards / expectations he has from everyone and surely himself too, has been pretty fuking poor this season.

Kova should have been in middle with Rodri who looked completely fuked. Their pressing was horrendous for 100mins. Think we will change things up alot in the summer . . .

And what exactly did Erling do? Pep should grow balls and start this type of games with three little terriers up top, Foden - Alvarez - Bernardo raises our energy level 50% at least . Our game was much better when he was injured.

You think Pep has got no balls? There’s the fucking kettle calling the pot black if I ever saw it,

 

[The Black Shed]

After watching it again I have come to the conclusion that it was a point gained. Our midfield, although not overrun, had a lot of pressure on it in the 2nd half and perhaps it was just a case of having younger, hungrier and fitter players coming at us. Some of you will shout inhalers; Diaz especially looked remarkably faster the longer the game went on, bit wierd, but I think we defended very well under intense pressure and subbing De Bruyne was the right call. Imo. As I heard on the radio today, and I agree, Spurs might prove to be the kingmakers this season. Onwards and upwards blues.

 

[city2]

After the game most pundits were raving about the scousers 2half performance and how they dominated the game and how brilliant they were. I always thought games were attack versus defence so if they were that good then just how brilliant we were in defending something we don’t normally do in most games. They got a penalty and that was that, City came the closest to score with Doku , we wasnt at our best with the passing but them fuckers still couldn’t beat us. So fuck off the media.

Very true, to educated football fans it was never a pen but even if it was, it’s not so long ago Milner wiped out Ickle Phil in the very same box and nothing was given for a stonewaller so we deserved a break despite what the LFC media attack dogs say

Didn't Milner also wipe out Raz right in front of an open goal at our place in Peps first season , again nothing given

And nobody to this day can tell me why our second goal of the home CL game v the dippers was mysteriously disallowed

We created our goal. Theirs was a gift - an ultra rare mistake by Nathan.

I'm confused by your 'younger, hungrier and fitter players' comment. Phil and Erling both 23, Julian 24. Only Kevin and Kyle of the outfield players 30 or over. We have a great blend of youth and experience.
