[Trevor Morley's Tache]

They have a new messiah.

He's not the Messiah.....

He's not the Messiah.....

 

[the-ecstacy-of-eight]

He's clearly made of stern stuff because even after receiving a proper knock he managed to drag himself to his feet, limp over and despatch the pen.

Totally insane how he was able to do that, he's the stuff of legends as well.

To be honest with you, the whole team are legends;

a keeper who can invoke the power of god;

a full back who can fire in a free-kick from the edge of the area who strangely gets plenty of practice of the skill in EVERY match;

another full back who can seemingly turn himself both invisible AND inaudible to the officials whenever he loses it a bit and throws in the "odd" two footed lunge, snide elbow or foul mouthed verbal assault (but he's just "passionate" though, and he's apparently a "nice boke" off the pitch, so he deserves to be cut a bit of slack by those of us that can see him do these things);

a midfield general with a trademark shuffle (?) who's entire skill set is "tactical fouling", "taking a dive on the edge of the opponents penalty area" and "recycling the ball to those with a bit of vision" who wins one of the season's player of the year awards;

a centre forward who scores maybe 10 goals a season, in a good year, sometimes, who's described as a special, special player;

a couple of wingers who have somehow survived multiple sniper attacks in the majority of the games they play (I've noticed that the sniper, weirdly, only shoots when the wingers enter the penalty area and as it happens during both halves of a match I can only assume that he changes end at half time to get a better shot - just my conspiracy theory);

the worlds bestest ever player, leader, hero, man, who cannot be described by mere words and who has uniquely unjustly cut down in his prime (another record broken - It's another first);

etc,etc,etc,etc....;

all led by the most knowledgeable, most tactically aware, nicest man in football (and possibly the world) who has a killer smile (who doesn't have a borderline personality disorder/schizophrenia triggered by positive or negative reporting/questioning, no no no, he's a nice guy and a top top coach).

Fcuking legends man.

Nobrot on talk sport 'Firminho is a legend at the club'

Bwahahahahahahaha

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

Diogo Jota would probably be embarrassed by those comments.

"Stuff of legend".....ffs.

I read today somewhere in the meedya that Dog-eared Iota thinks City ought to be fearful at the weekend. I think he would lap up the nonsense that gets trowelled onto and into their heads.

Possibly.

You’re damn skippy

I noticed the subtle distraction technique of shifting the spotlight onto Masuaka (?). Basically saying he was foolish and stupid for initiating contacting with Salah's boot. Concentrate on that for long enough and you don't have enough time or column space to talk about the diving, cheating Egyptian who has made this an integral part of his (and Liverpool's) game under Klopp. Time for a pundit with enough balls to call this out for what it is.

The issue I have is all this talk of “contact”. Just because there is contact does not mean it’s a foul. How many times is there contact in the penalty box (or elsewhere on the pitch) that’s not called. Heaps. It was a blatant dive.

Agreed 100% after all isn't football a contact sport?
