Liverpool (A) Post Match Thread

Not for me. Zinchenko has really improved defensively over the years. Also look how many headers he's winning nowadays and controls them.
He made an early mistake to not cover TAA's right foot and let him deliver a cross,
but Salah was right in his pocket.
Zin's great ball control also is much more press resistent, esp. vs teams like dippers.

Laporte as a left foot would have had more problems vs Salah cutting inside IMO.

So you don’t think Zinc is left-footed?

OK.

I've been singing his praises all season, guy does so much dirty work there it's unreal.

The issue he had was the obvious comparison to Fern, who to be fair has probably been the best in the world in that position for 5 years. He's not as mobile or fast but he knows how to read a game.

The start of the season was rough because he was single handedly trying to stop multiple runners which was naturally making him look awful in that role - even when we switched to him and Gundo playing as the double pivot it wasn't working for either. Fast forward a few weeks and the man is a beast, his overall game is massively underrated.

I had to laugh at that skinny prick trying act the tough man to Eddie while looking a fucking drag queen.
I'm sure he wears make up on the pitch.

If Eddie had nutted him and saw red I honestly wouldn’t have minded : )
 
I think the biggest surprise of the day for me was not winning at Anfield, finally. Not scoring the 4 goals. No missing a penalty (are we the only side in history whose German penalty taker actually misses?). No, what surprised me most was that Olivar didn't send Dias off after he awarded their penalty. I was sure he was going to and was shocked when he only produced a yellow. Wonder how much the recent contoversies of the Bednarek & Soucek ones played a part in this?
 
Outstanding performance , collateral damage caused to Liverpool and Klopp, even better.

The title is ours as long as we continue this wonderful form , incredible thing to say after the start to the season we had.

Where's Dias meant to put his arm though? Salah is sticking his right arm straight out into Dias' chest, so where does Dias' left arm go? The only way to stop any contact is for Dias to run holding his left arm vertically up to avoid any and all contact. It's a cheats trick, put a part of your body near an opposition player and throw yourself over at the slightest contact.
Salah's arm wasn't pulled back at all and if the VAR ref had done his job Salah would have had a yellow for diving.
He probably should have just cleared it though but he shouldn't have to make a bad decision just because the opposition player is a massive cheat.

Isn''t the main point that Dias should have known that Salah is a cheat and would exaggerate any contact? Dias to my mind clearly reached out and put his hand on Salah's arm but Salah's reaction was a joke that deserved a yellow card. But you don't grab at Salah in the penalty area. More to the point, there was no need for Dias to rescue the situation because that was already in hand, and if I discover from the game replay that the covering player was John Stones then that will make me feel uneasy because the two of them ought to understand each other better by now.
 
The desire and hunger second half was unreal. Amazing game, brilliant win.
