Liverpool thread 2020/21

He had so much space so many times on the edge of the Burnley penalty area it was incredible and he must have attempted 20 crosses

Just seen he attempted 18 crosses, completed 0

I think everyone takes Leicester seriously, the problem with the year they won it is no one took them seriously even when they were 4 or 5 points clear. We're now at the halfway point and realistically there's still 6 or 7 teams that could feasibly win it, and any side in that mix that can put a run together of 4 or 5 winning games start to look like contenders again.

Have you looked at OUR form?

Have they been relegated or something?

 

[City Raider]

Fans moaning about the low block like it was invented just for them.

 

[Brightwell Bros.]

Have you looked at OUR form?

Yep! If I was a fan of any other club I'd be shitting it. I think if we go top with a game in hand then it will be very, very difficult to catch us. Just as you can't see where the goals are going to come from for Liverpool, it's hard right now to see us conceding 2.

Yeah missing a red card.

Now that would’ve caused a scene. I have an image of our chihuahua going loopy as Carragher’s voice gets higher and higher.

Perhaps after prolonged use it becomes less effective?

The Dippers said at the end of last season they will hold a victory parade for winning the league no matter what time the Covid restrictions end. I'm really hoping the parade will be in the summer when they have qualified for the Thursday night cup, what an anticlimax that would be, talk about pissing on their parade.

They can do what they want I suppose? But how ridiculous are they going to look ?
The next champions will definitely have been already crowned before a gathering of people that large will be allowed??
We are only talking about 16 weeks to the end of the season

They're pretty quiet in work this morning. In contrast to most of this season. I got a "fuck off" when I tried to engage with one of them. Bless.

Under old rules he should have been off, but I think they tweaked them recently that a keeper or defender can’t give a penalty away AND receive a red card unless it’s serious foul play or something like that.

I’m not sure if I’ve misunderstood the rules but if you’re last man and make a genuine attempt to get the ball then it’s still only a yellow now instead of a red?

Two cases in point

1) Foden v Birmingham was brought down by the last man just outside the area and (which replays proved) and there was no free kick, no card and Birmingham actually got a goal kick

2) Cavani v Burnley was brought down by the last man outside the area and commentators said Burnley are lucky not to be down to 10
men.

Both genuine attempts for the ball.
