Liverpool thread 2018/19

If Palace wouldn't have had a washed up 40 year old third choice keeper in nets, who looked like he had just been plucked from the crowd, they would have won that game.

If luck and decisions even themselves out as everyone says then they are due a torrid few games. The problem we have is the powers that be want them to win the title, it is good for the brand.

This might sound daft as there are fifteen games to go but soon there will be less and less for them to slip up in. That four point gap is a decent cushion and I can't see many games they will drop points on paper. The rags away possibly but that's about it. We on the other hand have to win every game just to keep on their coat tails and that is a big ask and a lot of pressure. I know they have a couple of injuries now but VVD is their main man. Lose him and they may just drop a few points, if he stays fit and with their front three I think they will see it through.

That keeper was rubbish in his prime, he looked like he was on the take today. Liverpool will probably win the league I think. If they win it fair and square then fair enough . However They've had far too many dodgy decisions/ rubs of the green and media fawning over them for me to give them the credit we're led to believe they deserve

Same Ref, same offence, different decision.

When Diogo Jota completed his hat-trick in injury time to earn Wolves a thrilling 4-3 win over Leicester, manager Nuno Espirito Santo raced down the touchline to join in the celebrations.

It was not the first time we have seen an exuberant on-pitch managerial show of emotion this season. Jurgen Klopp against Everton, anyone?

But this time there was a very different outcome, despite the offence - and even the referee - being the same.

Nuno was sent off by official Chris Kavanagh, the referee who did not dismiss Klopp after he raced on to the pitch at Anfield to celebrate Divock Origi's injury-time winner in the Merseyside derby in December.

Has a reason / explanation been provided for this? I'm not arsed about klopp running on personally but there's clearly a double standard / bias on display here

Surely that referee has to come out with an explanation.
Can't actually remember whether he was lambasted over the Klopp one.
It will be shocking if this isn't either rescinded or Klopp doesn't receive a retrospective similar penalty

Klopp got a fine. I guess he was bollocked for not applying the rules in first decision and has now correctly sent him off for the same offence. But surprise surprise it's only enforced after Liverpool get away with it. It'd be like them cracking down on diving only now after Salah has got away with so many.

Biggest suprise for me is how they’ve kept that front 3 (Mane,Firminho,Salah) injury free and even motivated, they play every bloody game.
Whoever wins it fully deserves it. But I prey it will be City, back down to 4 points after today so there’s really not much in it with loads of games left.

Second yellow, according to the BBC’s report. He has turned into a right dirty bastard since his arrival at candle central.

So that’s TTD and his deputy out of the next game. Who will Klippety have at right-back for the Leicester game?

10 day gap - Alexander Arnold or Joe Gomez likely to be back from injury.

 

[meeesh]

I don't often smile or agree with much of what Merson says,but yesterday he did say that Speroni deserves a PL winners medal for the mistake he did,if Liverpool were to win the league,says it all really when we talk about luck,even opposition keepers being cited for a medal,along with Pickford of course.
