Liverpool (A) Post Match Thread

The Anfield atmosphere is wank and so are their team. Should have had the game put away in the first half. We’ve played Leicester Spurs Chelsea and Liverpool away and are sitting pretty well in the league, the title is ours to lose. Ref was a disgrace. Bernardo was a man possessed and Jesus not far behind. Brilliant performance

I don’t get this. Milner just played a game of football out of position against the best young player in the country and got torn a new arsehole. He wasn’t dirty, or out of order with anything, it’s not his fault he didn’t get called for a foul in the first half or a second yellow in the second half.

I’ve never got the Milner hate from our fans at all. And the “one greedy bastard” chant is about the most inaccurate call we make as a set of fans. It’s almost laughable.

He was a great servant for City who got sick of being on the bench in big games so he left us. Okay, he let his contract to go to the end, but in other sports that happens all the time and is seen as honouring the contract.

Okay, he mentioned that Liverpool had the best team spirit he’s ever been involved in, but he might genuinely have felt that and was just telling the truth. No dramas from me whatsoever.

Okay, he celebrated against us when he didn’t celebrate for us against Villa. Again no dramas for me at all, always want players to celebrate their goals (same shit we gave Dickov when he slid on his knees in joyous celebration when he scored for Leicester against us, it’s mard arse shit from our fans, not shit from Dickov and Milner).

We solely have an issue with him because of the shit Liverpool fans give Sterling. We moan that Liverpool fans give Sterling grief and call them small time and that they’re out of order for their comments, then stoop to their level with Milner.

Really bizarre from our fans this and I’ll never get it. Proper Liverpool, Arsenal, Aston Villa level stuff from us. Shows that we’re just the same as all other sets of fans.

I agree it’s gone too far. His “team spirit” comments were a little out of line — he could have softened them politically but if he’s bitter at a manager or the front office about whatever on his exit it doesn’t mean he doesn’t/didn’t appreciate the fans. I am also fine with the celebrations — always. I almost look at this as a mirror. It’s a rare player who owes a club so much and to whom the fans owe so much that he doesn’t celebrate scoring with the new side that’s paying him and with his happy teammates. It’s almost a privilege and an hono(u)r to have to/want to/get to be so polite. Milner never meant enough to City nor the fans to warrant him not celebrating, nor did we mean enough to him.

I did however think it was funny that he wanted to play centrally when it was pretty clear (to me at least) that wasn’t primarily why Liverpool signed him.
 
This obesession with the idea that we need a number 9 is starting to grate on my nerves. We have enough key players all over the pitch who can score. We create more than enough chances and as the season goes on and the players gain more rhythm and confidence they will convert at a higher rate. Liverpool played most of the game without a number 9, and I do not consider Firmino to be a clinical number 9 type striker.

Its almost like pundits and rival fans can't find anything else to drag us down about so they say, "well they dont have a number 9". Literally looking for anything. All the while we scored 6 against Leipzig, and lead the league in scoring once again.
