Liverpool (A) Post Match Thread

Fucking amazing from Rodders, he’s really coming to the party now

Rodri was at the party last season, that's why we won the league at a canter.

Had to laugh, has vandick lost that "never dribbled past" title yet, cos I saw Bernie leave him on his arse after already dribbling past four of his team mates............twice, does that count.

Actually, not sure it does as its the dips we are talkin about, where myth and lies become reality and truths are swept under the carpet quicker than a computer hacking scandal.

Even three years ago Sane skinned him and he had to bring him down for the penalty that Mahrez put into orbit. But that ‘didn't count’ apparently. Weirdos

Too many people slagging Ederson off. Name a better keeper in the league?

Martinez, De Gea, Allison, Mendy

 

[JRockBlues]

It's not like they don't have history for that kind of thing either (do they Mr. Carragher?)

I thought that was the best refereeing performance we've had at Anfield for a decade.

Which speaks volumes!

 

[Whether or not]

Look at the away games we already have out of the way and look at the table. I couldn’t be happier.

 

[Jam Tomorrow]

Was it Tierney?

Judging by the way the scouse cops couldn’t bring to book a single person of thousands who ambushed our coach I am not holding out much hope they will succeed this time. After all the miscreant is only on film and in a seat that only he has been allocated.

Martinez, De Gea, Allison, Mendy

But they all have buses parked in front of them.

Thought that was arguably our best team performance of the three games today. I like at Paris and the first half at Chelsea, we actually did open Liverpool up and create proper chances outside corners and free kicks. And we did it all game.

There’d anyone argument to say that Phil Foden is now our star ahead of de Bruyne. Absolutely magical player. And that comes with some big criticism from me here n’all: while he does score some beautiful and thunderous goals, there are times (the extra touch after that bit of magic from Bernardo to set him up today, his finishing away in Paris, his finishing at home against Dortmund), Phil has got a great deal of improving todo with his shot timing and placement selection.

But he was still unbelievable today!

Rodri looked tired today but put in a huge shift (without a lot of his passing coming off for him)… but that block at the end won us a point. Jesus had a similar game, put a proper shift in but not all his passing came off for him.

de Bruyne also looked tired and I still don’t think he’s fully fit (and he missed a fucking sitter with that header!) but he also won us a point with the equaliser and he was really dangerous on the break late in the game despite being fucking spent!

Thought Walker and Bernardo were also excellent.

Thought Cancelo and Laporte were weak for their goals. Laziness from Cancelo for their first and over committed for their second that set Salah’s whole move up. Laporte just too tentative/passive in both goals. Both overall decent enough performances from them.

Ederson was superb (that pass to Foden in the first half is just about the best pass I’ve ever seen, the others all being Ederson passes). Also came and caught and punched crosses really well all game but got overconfident because of that and at the death he nearly lost us the game, but he was great overall.

Grealish looked a bit out of his depth today. It has to be said he isn’t a striker! but even with the ball at his feet in general play, he didn’t have an impact on the game, lost it too easily, wasn’t linking up well, wasn't doing much at all really.

Sterling was a real danger when he came on and is actually starting to look like a really good impact striker off the bench (also thought he was good at Chelsea).

Overall performance as a team was great though.

Thought Liverpool started well, then couldn’t handle us. After half time they upped their game and they were probably better than us for about half an hour in the second half. Obviously, they’re a really good side.

No complaints about the result. That was the two best teams in the country on show today. Us and Liverpool are definitely better than the rest.

Should have been a free kick (it wasn’t in the box) and a yellow card for Milner on Foden first half. Then arguably he doesn’t make the other two tackles that he should have got two bookings for, as mindset changes, who knows? But that trip on Bernardo was a definite second yellow. Other than those two incidents, the ref was okay, he let himself down massively there though.

Fair comments overall but you are wrong about Tierney. Not only for not sending Jimmy Milner off, but his inconsistency with what he considered a foul. The card for Cancelo was a joke and certainly played a part in their second goal.

Yep, we should only offer them shitty biscuits that don't dunk with their halftime tea.

Lol, the cheapest brand rich tea fingers(cos they are smaller than the round ones), the ones that are so thin you can see thru em, try gettin them from the cup to your mouth.........and make sure there are no tissues/wipes handy.
