Wonder if we’ll get any articles about Liverpool winning so early making the league boring and uncompetitive. Oh, just us? Ok.

Also no mention that their centre forward should’ve been red carded yet again or that the ref gifted them 2 pens to get over the line yet again.

 

[Mr Soprano]

Look at all of these he’s got away with.

The fix is clearly in but the job is far from done.

Goalscoring records to be broken for Salah and the positioning of him as Ballon D'Or winner is the next target in the misguided hope of getting him to stay.

Flicked on Sunday morning MotD...

...so that's a penalty is it? Fall over when there's a man close behind = Pen

On-field ref gave it in real time. Wowzers!

"It's ar year laaaaa!" No fucking shit, and don't the refs know it!

Who got away without getting a deserved red for them yesterday?

 

[Blue Maverick]

He's not wrong but oh the irony....

I thought Liverpool wasnt English!

 

[J.G.Blue.]

Nearly time to set fire to the town hall with fireworks & beat up a few members of the police force, well its what they did last time they won the league :-)

 

[red 2 hats]

At what stage do the media declare the Premier League as a Farmers League.
The murderers have pissed it this year, they will be declared the greatest ever team in the history of football.
It's gonna be a horrible 12 months, seeing red ribbons on our trophy ( I know we don't own it )
The ferals will go full victim if Salah doesn't get the ballon dor.

They're not even the best Liverpool side of the last 10 years. The side with Mane, Firmino and Henderson (yes; stop laughing) was a better team than this one. What this mob have had this season is...
1. Incredible luck re lack of injuries to key players. And...
2. A consistency that no other team has managed. Us, rags, Spursy, Tarqs and Chelsea; we've all been up and down like a whore's drawers.

Think this just shows how poor the pl is this season.
Always tell the dippers they only win the pl when they have no challenges saves their bottle going ;)

Not just him either, Nunez escaped a blatant red yesterday, not for the 1st time this season. Plus they escape cards galore, remember one recent game they avoided 3 for tactical fouling.
They call us cheats when there is clear evidence that they are being openly assisted on the pitch most weeks

I keep hearing what a great team they are.

Yet, when we won it the first time, we could only be regarded as great if we win it back to back.

Then when we did that, they changed the goal-posts again.

We could only be regarded as great if we won the European Cup.

Fascinating how they get regarded differently.

I think he’s a great centre half but he doesn’t half get away with some things that other less favourable teams would never get away with, in a million years.

I think that's the size of it. They're a good team, no denying — not comparable to the Mane, Firmino, Salah team when it was flying. It helps that Salah is having the season of his life, and is completely injury free. Never mind the goals he's scored. The guy's got seventeen fucking assists!
Also, I genuinely think this is a very weak PL this year, with very little substantial difference between about third and sixteenth. Arsenal are nothing like as good as the two seasons they went head to head with us. But they, too, have had significant injuries. It does just look as though this was Liverpool's year. Them being played off the park by PSG puts it into its proper perspective. If they win the CL, it really will demonstrate, for the umpteenth time, that the best team in Europe that year does not necessarily win that competition.
But the league's theirs, and almost certainly the league cup.

In contrast to most posters on this thread I am going to give Slot some kudos on coming in and most likely winning the league in his first season, getting to the League Cup final and topping Champions League qualification. That is impressive by any measure although caveats apply.

The dippers do seem to get very favourable refereeing, not that you would know it giving their whining when any decision goes against them.

Lots of dubious penalties and players not booked/sent off - especially VD who seems to have license to assault opposition players at will.

Arsenal by contrast have been a bit hard done by. Whilst that is hilarious in one way more balanced decisions would have put Arsenal closer to the dippers and who knows what would have happened then.

They have rejuvenated their midfield but that was more luck than judgement. Klopp wanted Fabinho and Henderson to stay and they failed to get their main targets (Caciedo and Lavia) but did get Gravenberch, McAllistair and Slobedzlie?? - who are a very functional, hard working midfield for them.

If Salah and VD jump ship then I can see a big drop off but, if they don't, they are going to be strong again next season.

I'm now off for a bath to rid myself of the stench of saying anything positive about the red dippers.

There's really no question about it. He's done well. No-one expected him to. It's an object lesson in looking at the players you've actually got, seeing what they can actually do, and then getting them to do it week after week. One defeat in twenty-nine games does not lie.

Edit: make sure you use carbolic soap (it's what I'm using, to wash my mouth out).

They'll certainly win two trophies. Let's be honest, the league has effectively been over for weeks (Arsenal don't have the mentality to win the league). And Newcastle have had a City type injury crisis in the run up to next sunday. The CL? I don't think Liverpool will win it. It's hard to look past Franco's pet for that.

The league cup might just be a problem for them mate, the Geordies need to win something after recent disappointments and long term failures.

I hope they sink everything they have into the game.

At the risk of this being revisited next sunday evening, I'll stick my neck out and say the barcodes have no chance. They'll shit the bed, like they did against "TWGC" a couple of years back.

Something tells me that officials and VAR will have a big effect on the outcome of the match.

 

[Lovebitesandeveryfing]

It's hard to look past Franco's pet for that.

It truly is a vomit-making choice: the Heysel murderers, and the fascist-tainted club.

I think he’s a great centre half but he doesn’t half get away with some things that other less favourable teams would never get away with, in a million years.

When you're as VAR proof as him it's no wonder he's an arrogant, disrespectful arse towel.

He's got the club crest emblazoned "card" that says that the majority of "on pitch decisions" go his way and then VAR pretty much backs the on-field bullshit.

Decent defender, not as good as he's made out to be, has many weaknesses but SKY don't do "How to get at liverpool" videos like they did for us so they're not broadcast for all the world to hear.
