is clapping the ref sarcastically not a yellow any more? Or only if your name is Virgil?

Great win against a very poor team today. A million miles away from their 'heavy metal' era. Impressed with Doku, O'Reilly, Nunes and also the slower pace suited Gonzalez and Bernardo.

They are echoing our Pellegrini years. Rode the crest of a wave with the players remembering the best of Klopp and Slot adding a few new ideas to it for a good mix.

Now looking like a shadow of that.

And we got even worse in Pellers’ third season. Our fitness and running stats got progressively worse. I remember when Moyes went to West Ham after Pellers and said he couldn’t believe how unfit they were and how poor their running stats were.

Liverpool look at but like that. They played alright against Madrid midweek but didn’t cover much ground as a team and we completely outran them today, worked much harder and looked much fitter than them.

Great game. Doku outstanding, probably one of his best in a City shirt, Salah spent most of the match in O'Reillys pocket, Nunes did well with a measured cross, Gonzalez and Gvardiol on their game... I could go on... The only negatives for me were Savinho (again) and Cherki seemed to lack a bit of his usual confidence.
Nice to put it to bed without too much nervousness too. Well played!

The difference is here, Robertson ran across the goal directly in Donnarumma's vision. That to me was more significant than his ducking out of the way as it affects the goalie's positioning

I’m glad it was ruled out. I’d be annoyed if it was against us though.

By trying to get out of the way of it, he’s made himself active. Seems counter productive and one of those things that have gone for us today.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

We wouldn't have got that decision at anfield, but it wasn't at anfield so that's that. I expect the media will mount something approaching the scale of a state funeral to mourn the offside decision

If it keeps the dippers from actually correcting their failings then I’ll chuck them a box of candles to help.

 

[malg]

Apparently Neville referred to their disallowed goal as 'blatant cheating.' I think the club need to ask for clarification of these comments.

Has he said afterwards on Twitter or something. I didn't hear him say it on commentary.

 

[Micky Blue]

Think nico or cherki should take them. Håland has mossed too many lately

Oh god, I can just imaging Cherki, panenka’ing or Rabona’ing everyone of them.

He seems that sort of maverick character.

 

[jimharri]

Hands up who else had a feeling haaland was missing that penalty?

It's almost a given in the Pep era, that we'll miss a penalty. I wonder what our conversion rate is; somewhere between 60-70%, at a guess? Which, to my mind, is low.

 

[Uppermilloldie]

It’s a subjective decision. It was pretty similar to Bernardo when Stones scored the winner at Wolves last season.

Both were flagged on field. VAR suggested a review for our goal and didn’t for the dippers.

Ah well, fuck them.

Nothing subjective about it Alan, he makes a deliberate action within in view of the keeper and to avoid the ball, the problem is the inconsistency of officials implementing the rules. But your bang on mate f*ck em.

 

[Don Karleone]

This week had the potential to be really tricky, but we pissed it.

Well done lads.

 

[doots]

A dry bumming you anti English not our fault work shy cunts.

 

[ONTHERUNWITHTHAKSIN]

Worst fucking Champions ever seen

We played as a team they are a bunch of overrated aged players and fuck me how much did Wirst cost

Dippers know they are not at our level and we are in transition

Lovely

 

[manimanc]

Who is he?

Some nimrod who kept appearing on post match threads whenever we lost.
Not been seen since.
I like to highlight these bellends.

 

[David White]

Great performance, some real stand outs in o’reilly, Nunes, Nico and Doku, who I have been hyper critical of because of his end product but he’s a very, very good game today.

Gvardiol had an off day and I’m glad we didn’t pay for it.

Just a great win, Liverpool are properly shite and I’ll never tire of seeing them get battered.

Lovely rest week now to focus on those stripey twats next weekend.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Nothing subjective about it Alan, he makes a deliberate action within in view of the keeper and to avoid the ball, the problem is the inconsistency of officials implementing the rules. But your bang on mate f*ck em.

Not going to argue about it. Have moved on to thinking about the deluded scouse commentator saying “He’s offside mate.”

 

[ysmsa]

Doku, Bernardo, O'Reilly, superb

The rest brilliant.

Apparently we got lucky with 2 controversial decisions.

Both given correctly, tough shit.

Neville believes a player stood in front of a goalie who is stood on the line, who ducks so the ball can go in the net, shouldn't have been allowed because he's not in the goalie's eyeline!

Eyeline ffs,

 

[ShedDweller]

amongst all the hand wringing about the offside decision I see the keeper being a foot off his line for the penalty has been conveniently brushed under the carpet...

 

[roach3]

Oh dear, sounds like konate is going to be walking alone and maybe sloth, scousers not happy

 

[manimanc]

Crisis over.
We should have been shiting ourselves.
Nothing to see here.

 

[City Man]

Liverpool twice broke the English transfer record this past offseason and in the process broke their team

John Champion on the nbc telecast

Hahaha

Slot inherited a title-winning team. He won because of that. Now he's forming his own team with his own signings I have a feeling he might be about to be found out.
