Liverpool thread 2017/18

[Mallorca Blue]

Salah has a penchant for locking arms like he did with Ramos. It's a trick he has to help him keep balance, plus when he gets past the defender if they pull away then he has the option to go down and win a cheap free kick.

Ramos was just a bit too clever and strong for him for it to work this time. I do suspect Ramos did intend to throw him down as a means of letting him know who's boss, although I don't think he expected or planned for Salah to land so unusually and get injured.

Ramos has picked up 24 red cards in his career. If he didn't play for Real he'd have got loads more. He's always in trouble against skilful players and can only stop them using that kind of tactic.
But saying he deliberately tried to injure Salah is rubbish.

This is what the kids call a “third degree burn”. ;-)

Hey Seb, can you now please provide some data to evidence that next season with be Liverpool's year?

Thanks in advance, or as the kids would call it, "A frosty floss"

Don't give them that get out. They were the better team because they spunked their load in the first 30 minutes as usual. They would have gone downhill from that point whether Salah had stayed on or not. Anyone who's watched any Liverpool game this season could tell you if they didn't score a few in the first half, they were never going to win that game.

This 100%. Had an argument with a plastic dipper mate only yesterday with him telling me how they were bossing the match at our place and it was only mane’s sending off which stopped us taking a pasting. They can’t possibly sustain their press for more than 60 mins, tops.

What an utter shithouse tweet that is!

Karius needs buulding back up but instead he's being sacrificed on the Alter of Excuses.

Poor lad

Pennant obviously picked up his sensitivity during his time in prison.

For the record, if it wasn't for Karius, they would have been two down before he did fuck up, saving from Ronaldo header and coming out to close down Isco for the one that hit the bar.

Yeah, Salah was trying to pull a trick on him with the arm hold and I think Ramos saw it as an invitation to try his own tricks in return. But as you say it's not an accident Ramos has the disciplinary record he has, but in this case it was more an inadvertent injury than anything.

Twitter is great fun today. I've lost count of the number of tweets there are along the lines of, "Ramos is such a cheat. There were kids watching that game. What kind of example does he set for them?"

Won't someone think of the poor children?

There are centre backs all across Europe who will now be looking forward to testing how well Salah's shoulder has healed next season.

I wonder if Danny Murphy approved of Ramos "getting stuck in"
