Kinell, just been over to RAWK and you'd swear blind they played the 2008/12 Barcelona side tonight.

We scored the goal, before I could even set my food ready & switch on the game.

After I switched on, there was a bit of a patchy period, but we rode it away after we broke their press. It took around 10-15 minutes for us to adjust, but after that we pushed up, kept recycling the ball and then started finding openings. At times, our passing was orgasmic. We cruised through the rest of the half.

The start of the 2nd half was nervy & my heart stopped beating at the Van Dijk in pain situation. That was nervy. Not at this, not at this time I kept saying. And then we lost our concentration a bit, Salah coming deep to start moves didn't work & we were being countered. And then Henderson got caught, & we gave up another chance. But we grew out of that period as well and then started bossing it again. We were back with the goals & we could've scored more.

Ox & Shaqiri together were just fantastic to watch, some of the moves our side put together with one touch play were sensational. Henderson and Wijnaldum were fantastic, Sturridge was very good in the first half, dropping deep, starting moves & confusing the heck out of Huddersfield defense. Salah & Mane came up with the goals & the full-backs were out of the world too. Lovren was really good in taking the sting out especially in dealing balls in the air, he ate them all up. He had one troublesome moment, but even that he actually dealt with in the end, it was an unlucky bobble off the attacker to another. Anyway, we rode that out. It's great to have this set of CBs with different skill-sets. Lovren is a boss in the air, while Matip is brilliant with his passing.

But I'd give the MOM to Keita. He started with his counter-pressing & goal (record time for us in PL era I hear) & he set the standards. He constantly tracked back, pressed hard & helped us win back possession. In fact, he filled the void of Bobby in pressing & that is no mean feat. He also drove forward when he could. It was a complete performance from him. This was Leipzig's Keita & we finally got to see him as he was then.

Something tells me they're in for a very rude awakening midweek.
 
Why is every post match post about the match an epic like War and Peace on RAWK.

If they beat Barcelona the post match posts will be like Game of Thrones.

Makes me piss when they come out with this bollocks about every trophy that City win doesn't mean anything to them ,because we've cheated our way to them. That's why they're getting all tetchy then is it , crying that they've only lost one game all season and it still might not get them the league.
Please let us do it because I can't wait for the excuses and all the scouse spittle coming our way. Will be great comedy.

Maybe us winning doesn’t mean anything but I got a feeling them not winning will boil their piss.

With that logic in mind should a £75m player win player of the year ahead of someone who cost £45m???

" Liverpools history, once you scratch below the surface , over the last 100 years is woefully deficient, and I defy anyone to argue otherwise. " Ok I will have a go, 16 leagues, 7 FA Cups, 8 Football League Cups, 5 Champions League, 3 UEFA Cups. If that is deficient please supply me with the teams that have done well in that time.

That’s not hist... sorry, 'istree. That’s a list of the trophies that you have won over the years.

History and winning things are not the same thing.

They are so emotional and maudlin to come out with stuff like this. "A tragedy to football if we don't win the league". Just fuck off. Try Valley Parade, Heysel and Hillsborough if you're looking for footballing tragedies. You have to respect Liverpool for the sensational season they've had, and I do, but when their fans come out with self indulgent bollocks like this, you have to wonder at their lack of self-awareness and you realise exactly why them winning the league is most neutral's worst nightmare. Everyone outside the Anfield clan understands this but they just don't get it.

That is a point I always make. Success is different to history. Every club has a history rich to its fans. We all love our club and understand Palace fans love Palace, Sunderland fans love Sunderland and so on. The rags and dippers just lack basic human intelligence and think their club is more special than another.

What about Bournemouth. 10 years ago they won to stay in the football league. Now look at them. Is that a richer history than Liverpool? I would say so. But they haven't won as much. The two are not related at all.

You are overwhelmingly referring to a 26 year period over the course of significantly more than a century, within which Liverpool were unquestionably imperious. My point, although arguably deficiently advanced in my previous post, is that over the course of that 100 years, for the vast majority of that time, 60 years at a guess, you’ve been ordinary, and lacking any real, or meaningful threat.

I state this not to belittle your club’s achievements, which were incredible from the mid-sixties to the late eighties, but to serve as a reminder that success, status and influence in football can be fleeting, and anyone who ascribes the title “nothing club” to a football institution that was formed in 1894, and has as much a story to tell as any other club, not only defiles that club, but every committed fan of any other club that just wants the club they support to be everything it can.

When Liverpool fans describe City in those terms (not saying you do btw) they defile so many other clubs by implication, which goes some way to explain why so many ‘neutrals’ want City to win the league.

History isn’t ultimately about trophies, it’s about people feeling that what they’ve invested in the past provides some sort of reward in the future; and there are no set of supporters in football who invested more in their club, relatively speaking, than Cty fans of a certain vintage.

We’ve got the stripes, and deserve every minute of what we’re now experiencing; and no Liverpool ‘fan’ from Bedford, who’s been to Anfield three times, and never had to properly dig deep as a supporter, can even begin to tell me otherwise.

BINGO.

The best bit is the last comment, these fuckers actually believe that match going fans are behind them when its the plastic put on an England shirt for the WC & hang a flag out of the car, watch Tennis at Wimbledon for 2 weeks solid a year, live halfway round the world etc tits that are their only friends.

I’ve not heard anything so I assume that David Silva has got away with that flying kick to the chest the other night then? I guess there’s no longer anything wrong with making contact with the upper body of an opponent with your studs whilst you’re several feet in the air.

I hope Burnley are paying attention, Karate kicks are allowed fellas.

I'm shocked journalists haven't gone to the FA to point it out like they did to check on one of Mo's penalties, shocked I tell you.

Dippers must be like rags and have no sense of irony. Liverpool failed FFP in 2013 and only got away with it because they were so shit that they failed to qualify for Europe and therefore fell outside UEFA's remit for investigation and punishment. Didn't make them any less guilty though. But all those dippers with convenient memories won't have any of it.
 
I see klopp has put out another statement regarding salah scoring this season, he really is peddling a load of “how great we are” statements to the press
 
again please please people ??? don't read into this shit about its over and liverpool are waving the white flag because city have 3 easy games and they will roll over without fight

its a dirty tac-tic by liverpool and the media and even pep was asked in his interview are the players tuned in or they think its over after beating united, its a tool used by old utd and fergie in the media by pushing the pressure on the shoulders of the 3 teams and their players we still have to play, nobody is saying liverpool have 3 easy game are they ?? and huddersfield did not roll over after 15 seconds and show fight ???? shocking by huddersfield ok they are down but come on 15 seconds ????

manchester city still have to go out and win the title in them 3 games and they will be just as hard if not harder in beating united and spurs and respect is needed, and pep and city know nobody is rolling over ?? its major headlines if you beat or draw a game with manchester city in this run in ?? its your cup final and day in the media around the world just waiting and burnley leicester brighton name in lights

He's dead right exactly the same as Mane.

Victims one & all.

Plus the fact, as much as any other club, they monetised the sport. They helped create the monster that is the modern game.
