Liverpool (H) Post Match Thread

[Blue_eyes]

Happy new year everyone. This was the best result we have had in a while,lets face it klopp had got pool playing above themselves and I think they thought that their usual bullying/intense press game was gonna work as it has done against us recently, hence their midfield line up, but boy did we play well, sure we had a couple of nervy goalmouth scrambles but every player found the necessary will/courage/energy/skill and determination required( thanks to Pep I think) and we rattled them from early in the game not allowing them the usual start they are used to. Remember it was us who had the pressure of having to win, and against our worst bogey team unbeaten in the league so far, who, had they won could have been 13 points ahead by the time we played in the league again, that is massive pressure, but we were up to it.They looked shocked and deflated after the game, and if we can go on and win the league now this game will have been the turning point, bring it on.Btw I think the ref did extremely well, despite the dippers post match rhetoric there were no truly contentious decisions thankfully, we won fair and square and that is gonna hurt them.

Oh last season in the Champions League they just chucked all pretence of impartiality in the bin before kickoff in the first leg of the quarter final. That was proper Carta Blanche down to giving Klopp his buddy as ref in both the quarter and the semi. Watch the first 15 minutes of the final again though and you'll see the Liverpool players repeatedly warned by the ref about illegal physicality in the tackle.

Disgraceful choice of refs for both games, so deliberate, and apart form on here, very little said about the bus wrecking

No dive.....

Some aren't very subtle, but still they don't see them.

Well there’s always the ‘odd’ one we got away with such as the Kompany red card. Helps them forget the stonewall penalty and the persistent unpunished fouling throughout the game and point to how lucky Kompany was

Not like Liverpool fans to invent stories of victimization and then disappear at a mention of complaints to police or charges being pressed.

Not that I'm saying coins weren't thrown, I'm sure some were. Just not sure that (a) it was on the industrial scale painted by the Liverpool echo and (b) that those with the biggest stories of woe were actually at the game.

Not to mention the times the referee fouls our players, or gets a good block in ;-)

I was unconvinced from the start, Mancs are generous people, but they don't throw good money away at rubbish :)

What! Couldn't we be bothered to harass a disabled kid this time? Our standards are slipping.
