[vin]

Not sure why Keita goes straight in instead of Jones.

[Nineteenx]

Alisson

Trent Matip Fabinho Robertson

Wijnaldum Henderson Keita

Minamino Firmino Mane

Let's be as good as we can possibly be with this line and the tweaks made by Jurgen last time out are even more successful and we are more clinical with our chances leaving nothing to chance, get the win and another vital 3 points here today

Come on come on come ON Liverpool, come the fucking FUCK on Liverpool, get the win and another vital 3 points here today

[RedNoodle]

Not sure why Keita goes straight in instead of Jones.

Klopp having another one of his 'WTF days'?

[Balinkay]

Jones being 19 and probably not having the fitness to play every game from minute one is my guess.

[LEGS]

He did this last year before the derby bringing in Origi and Shaqiri hopefully this works out the same.

We dont know if Salah/Jones are in the red zone as all the geeks say but its clear we need to rotate over xmas like everyone else does.

[justme]

Kiopp has got a lot of things wrong aint he??

Anyway i nice solid start and take it from there. lets hope Moss knows what hes doing today

[CCTV]

3 points please - won't get to see this one today

[Nineteenx]

Kick off imminent, Come on come on come ON Liverpool, come the fucking FUCK on Liverpool, come on Mane bag a brace, come on Minamino show us the things we bought you for, get the win here today and another vital 3 points

[RedNoodle]

He did this last year before the derby bringing in Origi and Shaqiri hopefully this works out the same.

We dont know if Salah/Jones are in the red zone as all the geeks say but its clear we need to rotate over xmas like everyone else does.

All these type of things are giving more and more weight to my thoughts on us needing a bigger and better squad.

[Insidious]

Not sure why Keita goes straight in instead of Jones.

I don't read it that way.

I read it as Jones being a young man and Klopp not wanting to burn him out and risk injury to a man just as his star is rising.

[boom-klopp]

Klopp having another one of his 'WTF days'?

you need to stfu you manc twat. support the boss who has got us here.

[RedNoodle]

Come on the Reds!!!!!

[Balinkay]

Takiiii

[Nineteenx]

Boooooooooooooooom get the fucking FUCK in 1-0 Minaminooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oo

Come on come on come ON Liverpool, come the fucking FUCK on Liverpool, nick yourself a second here now

[RedNoodle]

Get in Taki!!!!!!!

[miller0863]

Takkiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

[Kev0909]

What a shit playerr!

[RedNoodle]

I see my reverse jinx worked a treat!!!!! :o

[CCTV]

Get in Tacky Minamino :)

[CCTV]

Mane assists Minamino, what's Bobby done ? :D

Any better radio coverage than the part-time coverage on bbc radio 5 live ?

[miller0863]

Is it just me having a bit of trouble with distinguishing the kits in certain parts of the pitch??

[miller0863]

Brilliant one on one defending by Fab on Zaha

[RedNoodle]

Is it just me having a bit of trouble with distinguishing the kits in certain parts of the pitch??

Yep. I was going to mention it myself.

[Balinkay]

Is it just me having a bit of trouble with distinguishing the kits in certain parts of the pitch??

Not just you. I can't tell who's who anywhere in the right half of our final third.

[Balinkay]

Ok, now that it's gotten a bit more cloudy it's fine.

[RedNoodle]

Ok, now that it's gotten a bit more cloudy it's fine.

Cloudy with a chance of football(s)?

[Balinkay]

Cloudy with a chance of football(s)?

Well let's hope Taki gets to take one home at the end of the game!

[miller0863]

Decent effort Noods

[RedNoodle]

Decent effort Noods

Not too bad considering I've had no sleep and don't feel good.

[Insidious]

Is it just me having a bit of trouble with distinguishing the kits in certain parts of the pitch??

Not alone.

It has improved now the Sun has gone away (guessing over-exposure in the cameras to do with low Winter Sun) but still not great.

If we were all wearing the keeper kit it would be a breeze!

So glad we scored first - was expecting a grind for the first 70 minutes. Scoring first helps so much.

[miller0863]

They are a very dangerous side on the break, we have to be very careful in possession

[RedNoodle]

They are a very dangerous side on the break, we have to be very careful in possession

It's Zaha and Eze we have to deny any space to run into.

[miller0863]

Absolutely terrible from Keita

[TheDOC1979]

is it only me that still has some faith Keita will come good ?

[Nineteenx]

I'd really like to see Mane and Minamino switch flanks for a spell here, we're 1-0 up, but it's not quite working and our left is just never anything like as potent or productive without the Mane Robbo partnership

Come on come on come ON Liverpool, come the fucking FUCK on Liverpool, nick yourselves a second here now

[miller0863]

Now Hendo, in danger of wasting our good start here

[RedNoodle]

is it only me that still has some faith Keita will come good ?

His mum still believes he can, but even she is having her faith tested.

[RedNoodle]

Phew!!!!! Sort it out ffs!!!!!

[Nineteenx]

Corner here, come on Bobby

[miller0863]

Palace making a chance with every attack

They’re gonna score in a minute unfortunately

[TheDOC1979]

His mum still believes he can, but even she is having her faith tested.

Come on Naby score one for noods and your mum lad

[miller0863]

Nice work from Naby

[Kev0909]

It's good teams don't seem to take chances against us and always fk up

but we get no luck

[RedNoodle]

Palace making a chance with every attack

They’re gonna score in a minute unfortunately

As long as it's in the tenth minute of another game, all will be well.

[Nineteenx]

Switch Mane and Minamino please Jurgen, the left isn't working, Robbo has nothing on and no-one to play off all the time like when Jota plays there

[TheDOC1979]

Need to get a grip here. Keita doing some good defensive work.

[RedNoodle]

Keita concedes a free kick in a dangerous position, but luckily Ayew's header is straight at Alisson.

[miller0863]

Jeez free header for Ayew

Then Taki nearly gets in

[Nineteenx]

Come on come on come ON Liverpool, come the fucking FUCK on Liverpool, need a second here now

[miller0863]

Our back line is all over the place

[RedNoodle]

Schlupp heads straight at Alisson from a corner.

Yet again all the danger is coming down our right/their left flank.

[Kev0909]

not complaining but honestly how have they not scored? #noluck

[miller0863]

Why does Hendo keep passing the ball to the Palace keeper?

[Nineteenx]

Boooooooooooooooooom get the fucking FUCK in 2-0 Maneeeeeeeeeeeeee

Come on come on come ON Liverpool, come the fucking FUCK on Liverpool, nick a third here before the break now

[RedNoodle]

Get in Sadio!!!!!!

He sure does love to score against Crystal Palace.

[miller0863]

Yes Sadio, lovely finish

[TheDOC1979]

Mane loves to score against palace doesnt he? Great work from Keita 2-0

[Kev0909]

Game over palace can't score in a brothel

[Nineteenx]

Why does Hendo keep passing the ball to the Palace keeper?

Carrying a bit I guess, very breezy there, Mane's usually getting something on those and bringing them under

[stevie harkness]

Hehe was just reading that Mane always scores against Palace!

[Balinkay]

OH YES. Oh yes.

[RedNoodle]

Keep your cool TAA.

Van A**ehole putting his head against TAA's.

[Nineteenx]

Boooooooooooooom get the fucking FUCk in 3-0 Bobbbbbbbbyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy take that bitch Kev a goal and assist for Bobby so far

Come on come on come ON Liverpool, come the fucking FUCK on Liverpool, nick a fourth here now

[RedNoodle]

Get in Bobby!!!!!

Woo-Hoo!!!!! :D

[TheDOC1979]

What an amazing goal. Bobby 3-0!!

[miller0863]

One of the goals of the season an absolutely perfect breakaway goal

[Kev0909]

Great cross by robertson wow

we want 10

[CCTV]

3-0 now :)

BBC radio extolling the talents of on loan legend Harvey Elliot

[Steveo]

Salah who...?

[CCTV]

Great cross by robertson wow

we want 10

That went wrong last time we tried :(

[Nineteenx]

Come on Trent, put this in you lazy bastard

[RedNoodle]

3-0 now :)

BBC radio extolling the talents of on loan legend Harvey Elliot

The BBC are being more and more unhinged with each passing day.

[HLOGI]

Superb from Firmino. Wonderful from Robbo.

[RedNoodle]

That went wrong last time we tried :(

Against the same team as well. :(

[RedNoodle]

TAA fires over a free kick on the edge of the box.

[HLOGI]

The most ruthless we have been in a while. Taking almost all our chances.

[Kev0909]

TAA fires over a free kick on the edge of the box.

I'm surprised noone else takes em, like Mane

[Steveo]

The most ruthless we have been in a while. Taking almost all our chances.

Stop it.... shhhh :D

[vin]

I mean 3-0 is great but they should've scored a few too...

[justme]

Ridiculous score line at half time, we have been all over the shop at the back. but will take this all day long.

[Nineteenx]

Come on Trent, put this in you lazy bastard

Pffffft, need to be better than than Trent

HT 3-0 half decent half, we've been far FAR better than this and not put our chances away far too many times, so I'm not complaining, over to Jurgen as ever to work his half time magic and tweaks to make sure we're A LOT better second half, particularly in our press and not getting caught with too many ahead of the ball trying to be too fancy Dan trying to play through the middle, which is where most of Palace's opportunities have arisen from, tweak that and keep the clinical finishing coming please

[LEGS]

Great scoreline at HT so far but its not done yet.

Id be dropping the defence back 5 yards second half they are getting in too easily and the score line doesnt reflect the game if honest.

[teesred]

God knows how we kept a clean sheet there but hey ho, a lesson in finishing. Some quality goals.
Hendo has been good.

[RedNoodle]

I'm surprised noone else takes em, like Mane

We don't really have free kick specialist at the moment, or at least one where you feel there's a good chance they'll find the back of the net.

[miller0863]

Well Palace showed what an attacking threat they are but some absolutely first class finishing from our lads for all three goals.

The third goal was just perfection, lovely ball in from Robbo perfect first touch and finish from Bobby. Funny how a goal makes such a difference to a striker, he looked so confident taking that chance today, looked a goal the minute the ball reached him.

[stevie harkness]

We don't really have free kick specialist at the moment, or at least one where you feel there's a good chance they'll find the back of the net.

I can't remember the last goal we scored from a free kick in a league game. Probably in Gerrard's day.

[RedNoodle]

Well Palace showed what an attacking threat they are but some absolutely first class finishing for all three goals.

The third goal was just perfection, lovely ball in from Robbo perfect first touch and finish from Bobby. Funny how a goal makes such a difference to a striker, he looked so confident taking that chance today, looked a goal the minute the ball reached him.

Form is temporary. Class is permanent.

[Kev0909]

Great scoreline at HT so far but its not done yet.

Id be dropping the defence back 5 yards second half they are getting in too easily and the score line doesnt reflect the game if honest.

well it is done

Palace can't finish at all, or maybe would of been a different story

pathetic from them farmers league lols

But i'm happy obviously

[RedNoodle]

I can't remember the last goal we scored from a free kick in a league game. Probably in Gerrard's day.

TAA has scored a couple. Just not one for a fair while.

[Crimson Dynasty]

I can't remember the last goal we scored from a free kick in a league game. Probably in Gerrard's day.

Didn't Trent score one on our final home game last season against Chelsea at Anfield when we lifted the trophy?

[miller0863]

Clean sheet should be our second half priority. Good to see all of the from three get a goal too

[LEGS]

I can't remember the last goal we scored from a free kick in a league game. Probably in Gerrard's day.

Trent last season v chelsea and palace

[justme]

Need to keep it sensible for another 20 minutes after the break and the games all but over..

[LEGS]

well it is done

Palace can't finish at all, or maybe would of been a different story

pathetic from them farmers league lols

But i'm happy obviously

Way we are defending im not that confident if they get one back first 10 mins it is NOT done

[stevie harkness]

Well okay but I don't get excited any more when we get a free kick, must be getting old.

[faridtoxteth]

3-0 now :)

BBC radio extolling the talents of on loan legend Harvey Elliot

I saw a youtube clip yesterday of Harvey Elliots man of the match performance against Norwich, who will probably be a prem team next year. He ran the game, he was really brilliant. While he will probably never be a big guy, he has bulked up a bit, it looked like to me. And he is at that age where young lads start to turn into men, both physically and also in terms of skill, experience and maturity. Good move for him. Not sure about how Blackburn play though,. Who is there manager? Is it that stocky old guy from the midlands with the huge nose,? Can't remember his name though.

[Joetan991]

I miss Riise and Aurelio free kick against Man U

[Kev0909]

Way we are defending im not that confident if they get one back first 10 mins it is NOT done

Very unlikely, don't even have there main man benteke and can't score for shit

even if they get 1 oh well bring salah on to get 3

[miller0863]

Tony Mowbray

[justme]

Way we are defending im not that confident if they get one back first 10 mins it is NOT done

Only saving grace is if Palace push on even more. The pace of Mane and our midfielders breaking. we will get loads more chances to score.

[faridtoxteth]

Mo Salah always tries to get in on the conversation about who will take a free kick, but tbh I can't remember him scoring one.

[Kev0909]

Well okay but I don't get excited any more when we get a free kick, must be getting old.

Same since TAA scored a few screamer FK'S he's took them since

But rarely gets them on target and never scored again.

[Balinkay]

Apparently their xG is just 0,23. That highlights one of my big problems with this stat - the xG for the Ayew / Zaha misspass is probably like 0,15 or something, even though you'd score it eight out of then times.

I have another huge issue with it, but overall I think xG is a very nice move in the right direction.

[faridtoxteth]

Tony Mowbray

Exactly.
Is it him, the manager?
how do his teams play?

[Steveo]

Could be long second half this.

3 nil at half time can be a dangerous score line. Focus needed and some more clinical finishing please.

[miller0863]

The main difficulty with our defending is actually being created by Fab, in that he’s not consistent with whether he drops deep or holds the high line, so when the ball is played over our back four, we can’t catch the opposition offside and players are getting clean runs through on our goal. One on one Fabinho is brilliant and generally a good man marker but they really need to do more work on holding that high back line with him.

[Kev0909]

Could be long second half this.

3 nil at half time can be a dangerous score line.

Oh shut up

palace are the best team ever going forward aren't they?

3-0 is a perfect score, there's as much chance of me winning the lottery they've been awful

[Balinkay]

Could be long second half this.

3 nil at half time can be a dangerous score line. Focus needed and some more clinical finishing please.

Agreed. Let's just knock it about for 15-20 minutes.

And then for a change knock it about for 25 more. Let's make sure no football is played in this half.

[miller0863]

Not sure how he sets his teams up to play to be hones Farid but it’s certainly working for our Harvey

[TheDOC1979]

Oh shut up

palace are the best team ever going forward aren't they?

3-0 is a perfect score, there's as much chance of me winning the lottery they've been awful

Ever heard of a jinx Kev :D

[RedNoodle]

Apparently their xG is just 0,23. That highlights one of my big problems with this stat - the xG for the Ayew / Zaha misspass is probably like 0.15 or something, even though you'd score it eight out of then times.

I have another huge issue with it, but overall I think xG is a very nice move in the right direction.

I recently told someone on YouTube that I also have issues with Xg. Some think it's the be all and end all.

[Balinkay]

The main difficulty with our defending is actually being created by Fab, in that he’s not consistent with whether he drops deep or holds the high line, so when the ball is played over our back four, we can’t catch the opposition offside and players are getting clean runs through on our goal. One on one Fabinho is brilliant and generally a good man marker but they really need to do more work on holding that high back line with him.

Very good point. I guess that's why they say "the understanding" of the CB pairing is so important. He's clearly the odd man out.

[Nineteenx]

Here we go, Come on come on come ON Liverpool, come the fucking FUCK on Liverpool, score first this half and bag yourselves a fourth here now, Mane

[Crimson Dynasty]

Need to keep it sensible for another 20 minutes after the break and the games all but over..

We never say that against Palace, until the 90th minute.
Even with a 3-0 lead.

ESPECIALLY with a 3-0 lead.


Bad memories.

[Insidious]

Loving what this is doing for our Goal Difference. If we managed 4-0 today we'd be the best on the League on that score, which puts the Villa match totally into the utter irrelevance column.

[Steveo]

Oh shut up

palace are the best team ever going forward aren't they?

3-0 is a perfect score, there's as much chance of me winning the lottery they've been awful

If you do win today - I want half.. :D

[Kev0909]

Guess we'll see Ox at some point, hopefully for keita

[miller0863]

Slow start from us to the second half

[southernboy]

Agreed. Let's just knock it about for 15-20 minutes.

And then for a change knock it about for 25 more. Let's make sure no football is played in this half.

This all day long. I’d like us to show some maturity and manage the game from here on in.

[Insidious]

WoRsTeSt cApTaIn eVeR!!!!

[Nineteenx]

Boooooooooooooooom 4-0 get the fucking FUCK in Captain Fantastic Hendo, take that bitch Kev :D what a finish

Come on come on come ON Liverpool, come the fucking FUCK on Liverpool, nick yourselves a fifth here now

[LEGS]

Supern strike

[RedNoodle]

Get in Hendo!!!!!

Another lovely goal!!!!! :D

[justme]

Hendoooooooo

[miller0863]

What a beauty from Hendo

[TheDOC1979]

4-0 hendo with a lovely strike

[Kev0909]

Holy shit henderson has scored seen it all now

Keep worrying guys palace might score! !!!!!!

[LEGS]

Superb even

[Steveo]

What a load of old shite.

We still have no chance of winning this.

Stay focused now boys...!


Get the fuck iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiin!!!

[teesred]

What a goal. Hes been class.

[stevie harkness]

Loving what this is doing for our Goal Difference. If we managed 4-0 today we'd be the best on the League on that score, which puts the Villa match totally into the utter irrelevance column.

And if we manage 5-0? :-)

[RedNoodle]

Mo is coming on.

[Crimson Dynasty]

So does this mean Mo gets stuck on the bench for the next little while?

It seems we find our shooting boots when Klopp doesn't start him.

[RedNoodle]

Mane pulls a shot just wide.

[Steveo]

From Beeb.

Liverpool could have four entries for goal of the month in December, all of them from this game
Arshad, Guildford

[miller0863]

Ooo Sadio nearly makes it 5-0

[CCTV]

On the fourth goal of Christmas, Hendo said to thee, cut the ball back to me 4-0 :)

[Nineteenx]

Come on come on come ON Liverpool, come the fucking FUCK on Liverpool, get yourselves a fifth here now, Jurgen wrecks my Mane brace prediction by resting Mane for Mo, come on Mo

[miller0863]

Sadio really not happy at coming off

[RedNoodle]

Mo comes on for Mane.

The latter isn't too happy about it.

[TheDOC1979]

Poor Sadio.

[Nineteenx]

On the fourth goal of Christmas, Hendo said to thee, cut the ball back to me 4-0 :)

The Hendinator :D

[Steveo]

Why Mane..? He does need a rest in fairness. Keep him super hungry for the next game.

[miller0863]

Noooo Taki really should finish that

[RedNoodle]

Minamino should score but he puts the ball wide of the post.

[Nineteenx]

Great run and touch by Minamino, but a poor finish, Come on come on come ON Liverpool, come the fucking FUCK on Liverpool you fucking slackers, get back on the finishing, this should be six now, get yourselves a fucking fifth here now

[TheDOC1979]

Minamino ffs. Keita playing brilliantly.

[LEGS]

Its the correct decision by Klopp to take Mane off.

Id have been tempted to give Salah the game off but it is what it is.

[Steveo]

Its the correct decision by Klopp to take Mane off.

Id have been tempted to give Salah the game off but it is what it is.

I can see the logic too. Just feel bad for him on a personal level.

[Crimson Dynasty]

I understand Mane's frustration.

You finally get a game where you think you've broken your non-scoring hodoo,....and against a team you love scoring against and have a good record against.

And then you get taken off in the 55th minute when you could easily see yourself getting a hat-trick.

On the flip side, you're Klopp and you still have to mind your players' minutes and health - especially with the likes of Jota still out injured.

[Nineteenx]

Salah's playmaking and creating has come on leaps and bounds this season, I'm very very impressed, all that moaning last season from the usual suspects when it was obvious he was trying to develop that aspect of his game was worth it

Come on come on come ON Liverpool, come the fucking FUCK on Liverpool, get yourselves a fifth goal here now

[Kev0909]

I can see the logic too. Just feel bad for him on a personal level.

Don't worry mate, I doubt he'll ever feel bad for you on a personal level

;)

[LEGS]

Id be getting Neco on soon for Robbo or Trent.

I guess Ox might come on for Naby later.

[RedNoodle]

Jones is coming on.

[Crimson Dynasty]

It's just to bad we don't have Harry Kewell anymore because if he had been here and scored we'd be the first team (ever, I believe) to have a player from each of the 5 continents all score in the same game.

Currently the 4 that have scored is only the second time it's ever happened.
(Asia, Africa, Americas, Europe)

[Kev0909]

This is whwen i wish we had a young lad instead of a extra goalie what a day for him it would be, a early christmas present.

On the bench

[RedNoodle]

Another lovely goal from Bobby!!!!! :D

[TheDOC1979]

Bobby you classy bastard. 5-0

[justme]

Bobby at the double

[miller0863]

Oh my days. We are absolutely on fire what a goal, Bobby you beauty what an assist from Mo

[Kev0909]

Good finish from firmino!! that's more like it

I hope ya all still worrying!

[RedNoodle]

Curtis replaces Gini.

[Nineteenx]

Booooooooooooom get the fucking FUCK in 5-0 Bobbbbbbbbbbbbbbbby 2 goals and an assist, take THAT bitch Kev and a beautiful pass from Mo who you spent most of last season bitching about while he was trying to develop that aspect of his game

These lads absolutely bumming their perennial biggest critic today

Jones on for Gini

Come on come on come ON Liverpool, come the fucking FUCK on Liverpool, get yourselves a sixth goal here now, a goal for Jones would be great

[Crimson Dynasty]

Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii Senooooooorrrr....

Pass the Ball to Bobby and he'll scoreeeeee.......

[LEGS]

Great stuff 7 shots 5 goals.

Good for the old GD this

[RedNoodle]

Good finish from firmino!! that's more like it

I hope ya all still worrying!

I wonder if anyone predicted us to win 5-0? :rolleyes:

[Kev0909]

Booooooooooooom get the fucking FUCK in 5-0 Bobbbbbbbbbbbbbbbby 2 goals and an assist, take THAT bitch Kev and a beautiful pass from Mo who you spent most of last season bitching about while he was trying to develop that aspect of his game

These lads absolutely bumming their perennial biggest critic today

Jones on for Gini

Come on come on come ON Liverpool, come the fucking FUCK on Liverpool, get yourselves a sixth goal here now, a goal for Jones would be great

What the fuck you on about you silly cunt, take your personal digs elsewhere and get a life you mong

always praised salah, not me bitching! said selfish cunt a few times sarcastically

Good to see bobby picking it back up, and it hasn't cost us at all really his form

5-0 up and instead of enjoying it you demand more still and try and start a arguement

what a spastic

Earlier too, said henderson isn't world class, and WIj has been the same last few games and apparently i'm calling him shit according to you? soon as he scores you have a dig too.

Fuck off ya nonce

[RedNoodle]

Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii Senooooooorrrr....

Pass the Ball to Bobby and he'll scoreeeeee.......


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lomcvr3p1hU

[Steveo]

I wonder if anyone predicted us to win 5-0? :rolleyes:

Nope could have seen us shipping 5 though.

[Crimson Dynasty]

We really needed a game like this.

We've been grafting far too hard the last couple of weeks just to grind out results and sometimes not even getting any love.
This one has been long coming.

To be fair to Palace, they haven't been that bad (at least not as bad as the score line indicates).
Their atrocious finishing aside, they have been in this game, but it's just one of those cases where the other team is just on it.


We've been there ourselves.

[RedNoodle]

The Ox is coming on for Bobby.

[LEGS]

He did this last year before the derby bringing in Origi and Shaqiri hopefully this works out the same.

We dont know if Salah/Jones are in the red zone as all the geeks say but its clear we need to rotate over xmas like everyone else does.

Think this Klopp guy knows

[Nineteenx]

Ox imminent for Bobby, with Minamino likely moving to No9 where Jurgen keeps playing him despite it not being his position and not working

People knock Ox, but last season he came in when Mane was out for a short spell, played Mane's role far better than any other player we have has and scored 3 in 3, crucial goals as well

Come on come on come ON Liverpool, come the fucking FUCK on Liverpool get yourselves a sixth here now, no fucking slacking

[CCTV]

Theres something that our flop wants you to know, hes back scoring goals galore

[HLOGI]

Theres something that our flop wants you to know, hes back scoring goals galore

Today he was a striker. Which is what we want. We want goals. Not a 4th midfielder.

[Crimson Dynasty]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lomcvr3p1hU

Good man!


Thanks for that.
I needed that laugh.
Ironically enough, Maureen is STILL chirping about it by the time I was typing this post.

[HLOGI]

Bobby Firmino top top performance.

[Nineteenx]

What the fuck you on about you silly cunt, take your personal digs elsewhere and get a life you mong

always praised salah, not me bitching! said selfish cunt a few times sarcastically

Good to see bobby picking it back up, and it hasn't cost us at all really his form

Fuck off ya nonce

Maybe I took exception to your complete and utter contempt and disrespect of Bobby recently, way way out of order after all he has given us and you also did constantly slate MO when he was very obviously trying to develop his game to be more creative last season and passes went a wry and now look

[Steveo]

Today he was a striker. Which is what we want. We want goals. Not a 4th midfielder.

Correct BUT some know more about Gaelic football - and clodhopping than the beautiful game.

Been waiting a looooong time for him to get back to himself - seems closer than ever now.

[miller0863]

Salaaaaaaah

[TheDOC1979]

Keita has grown into this game. Imagine if he picks up and stays injury free ...

[RedNoodle]

Get in Mo!!!!! :D

[Nineteenx]

Bobby Firmino top top performance.

As I constantly stated, Bobby has his peaks and troughs and playing him through them has always worked, the adjustment of the full back positions so our midfield aren't outnumbered as they were in a few games this season has made a huge difference meaning he hasn't had to be dropping so deep, everything affects everything else

And BOoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooom 6-0 get the fucking FUCK in Salaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

Come on come on come ON Liverpool, come the fucking FUCK on Liverpool, get yourselves a sixth here now you fucking slackers

[justme]

Salahhhh

[RedNoodle]

Get in you sixy beasts!!!!!

[Kev0909]

The comebacks on

not over until it's over

[Insidious]

If you're a "rival" to us this season and you see the late goal against Spurs followed by this Demolition job, you need a mentally strong group to think you have a chance of overtaking us.

[teesred]

0-6.
How gutted are the VAR team, there hasnt been a chance for them to chalk any off.
What a great show the second half.
The rest of the league, get ready. We're back on the horse.

[RedNoodle]

If you're a "rival" to us this season and you see the late goal against Spurs followed by this Demolition job, you need a mentally strong group to think you have a chance of overtaking us.

Exactly what I was thinking. This sends out a massive warning to everyone else in the league.

[Kev0909]

Maybe I took exception to your complete and utter contempt and disrespect of Bobby recently, way way out of order after all he has given us and you also did constantly slate MO when he was very obviously trying to develop his game to be more creative last season and passes went a wry and now look


Bullshit never said bad about salah, nice lies though

Ironic coming from you when firmino has actually been shite, yet fabinho has done nothing wrong etc etc

Maybe you should take your own advice.

Yes firmino is doing good now, and that's good obviously and we kept getting results, you're just upset henderson doesn't love you back

It's ok i'm going back to actually enjoying the game now, :)

Maybe they forgot it was an early kick off?

[Nineteenx]

Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooom 7-0 Get the fucking FUCK in Salaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah


Come on come on come ON Liverpool, come the fucking FUCK on Liverpool, get yourselves an eighth here now you fucking slackers

[miller0863]

Oh my days !!!!!!!

[justme]

Salah at the double now

[TheDOC1979]

Goal of the season from Salah. 7-0

[RedNoodle]

Oh my word!!!!! :)

Get in Mo!!!!! :D

Seventh heaven!!!!!!! :o

[Kev0909]

What a goal

you ok stevo

Still worried mate? :lol:

[stevie harkness]

On days like these I don't mind an early kick off even if the players are a bit tired and lethargic.

[Crimson Dynasty]

he he he he he


That was delightful.

[TheDOC1979]

comeback still on Kev...

[HLOGI]

Is this the day we kick on? It was hairy at 1-0, Had Ayew made better decisions. Bit when we went 2 up it was all over. Fantastic performance after a difficult 15 minutes after we went 1 up.

[Steveo]

What a goal

you ok stevo

Still worried mate? :lol:

Yes - Palace could score 8 - a goal a minute. :D

[Nineteenx]

It's ok

I've been nothing but full of praise for Fabinho at CB, he's been excellent, he isn't as good at CM as Captain fantastic, not even anywhere approaching as good, that's not my opinion, that is simple fact, no matter how much the haters don't want it to be true

[Crimson Dynasty]

There could easily be 5 goals of the Season in just this game alone.


That's just how good we've been.

[RedNoodle]

Bobby beaming in the stands. :D

Mane not looking as happy. :grumpy:

[Nineteenx]

Come on come on come ON Liverpool, come the fucking FUCK on Liverpool, nick yourselves a late late eighth here now you fucking slackers

[TheDOC1979]

Now get Ox a goal

[Kev0909]

I think this as been on the cards for a while, a good old smashin

I and others haev said that when we've wasted all them chances

Clinical today and we'll need that going forward in the champions league

honestly thought we'd struggle today after recent away performances and salah on bench!

[TheDOC1979]

Great display today. Hard to pick MOTM

[justme]

Not to shabby. We will take that

[teesred]

An absolutely sensational second half performance.
Couldn't be happier. Let's sit back and see how the rest of the weekend plays out.
Come on Leeds.

[RedNoodle]

Get in!!!!!

That's possibly as clinical a performance as I've seen from us.

I hope you all enjoyed that as much, if not more than I did. ;)

[Nineteenx]

We weren't the best first half despite leading 3-0, we could easily have shipped 3 or 4 but this second half has been sensational, Jurgen worked his magic at HT and stopped the fancy Dan overplaying through the centre which is where Palace's chances were coming from when they broke down

Up the bum job done, huge pressure on all those chasing us playing later and tomorrow now

As ever all the focus on the next game, getting the win and another vital 3 points

[Crimson Dynasty]

"The best team is losing this game!"

- Jose Mourinho

(.....probably)

...

[stevie harkness]

All eyes on Southampton v Man City now

[LEGS]

Not bad.

[reddownunder]

Well that was fun :D

[miller0863]

Perfect away performance absolutely perfect from every single Liverpool player involved.

And I was worried about this one.

[Crimson Dynasty]

You've got to love weekends like this.

We play first and take care of business.....DECISIVELY...

...and then you can get to enjoy the rest of the weekend knowing that other results won't affect you and if anything you might get a few favours from other teams facing our rivals.

Come on Southampton and Leicester!!!!

[justincredible]

Beautiful beautiful performance and result.

[RedNoodle]

As was I.

I was toying with going for 1-1. :o

If results go a certain way then title chasing Spurs could be 7th for Christmas.

[miller0863]

I hope that result has suitably bored it’s way into the heads of our title rivals. Top at Christmas for the third consecutive season

[faridtoxteth]

Didn't see that coming. Thought it would be a really tough game for our tiring squad.
Man of the Match, Henderson and Firmino.
Found it difficult to assess Minamino's contribution. took his goal well. Should have had a second which he fucked up. He runs about a lot but always seems a bit late arriving in the press. made up for him though, a goal and 90 mins.

[Balinkay]

Erm... not too shabby. I'll take that.

Also, wth Mo - he comes on and in 35 minutes gets a brace and an assist to boot.


Also also Bobby boy - that's what we like to see!

Also also also good to see some rotation for Wij, Mo, Mane and Bobby.

[SydneyLFC]

Take a bow LFC, take a bow.

[RedNoodle]

The only other time that has happened it was also us that did it.

[Crimson Dynasty]

Maureen would just love that, wouldn't he?

We'd never hear the end of the Moaning.

[Steveo]

Beautiful beautiful performance and result.

In the voice of Brendan..

[miller0863]

That’s sorted the goal difference out. We have already scored 36 goals in just 14 games, exactly twice as many as Man City.

[justme]

We conceded 10 in 2 games.. In the other 12 matches only 9.. So not that :D

[miller0863]

Just loved the reaction of Jurgen and Curtis Jones on the touch line, to .. I think it was Bobby’s second goal.

[Balinkay]

That’s sorted the goal difference out. We have already scored 36 goals in just 14 games, exactly twice as many as Man City.

Google says they have 18 goals after 12 games, but it's still a huge difference. Impressive.

[miller0863]

Well yeah, 36 is exactly twice as many as Man City’s 18 then??

[justme]

I was looking at the wages the players get last night.. Salah gets twice as much as Mane. Salah is on 200 thousand and Mane 100 000..
I know its a lot of money either way. But i would be slightly peeved if i was Mane. I hope he gets a contract upgrade.. Even Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Keita are on 20 thousand pounds a week more.
https://www.spotrac.com/epl/liverpool-fc/payroll/ then again i dont know how reliable this site is.

[teesred]

Mane was understandably disappointed at being subbed but I think Klopp did the right thing. Busy period coming up so it was the right call, he was really pissed like. He would have definitely scored more had he stayed on.

[RedNoodle]

If anyone wants a laugh they should have a butchers at "Red Chaff's" other games thread.

The word "deluded" doesn't even come close to describing some of the numpties on there.

[miller0863]

What’s up with them? Do they think VAR should have chalked off all 7??

[Balinkay]

Well yeah, 36 is exactly twice as many as Man City’s 18 then??

Brainfart.jpeg. :D Thought for some reason it said 34.

[skyebo]

Hodgson wants binning after that result. You should never concede 7 goals at home, even against a good team, it's not as if his players aren't experienced.

[Steveo]

He’s done well for Palace. Don’t forget they regularly beat top 5 sides. I know they had no fans there today BUT still - it is one of the toughest away days IMO. Makes our result today all the more impressive.

[3underpar]

From four goals less in gd to Spurs to four goals ahead in less than a week. Ha!

[southernboy]

Hey Jose, did we look like champions today? Asking for a friend.

[stevie harkness]

I've just read that was only Minamino's 4th start in the premier league. Would love to see him kick on from this.

[3underpar]

Surprised that was our largest win margin in PL history.

[RedNoodle]

What’s up with them? Do they think VAR should have chalked off all 7??

If you took any notice of what they were saying you'd think we were a mid table side, with average players, and were only winning and top of the table through luck.

hey also think that if they could pull their socks up just a little bit they could win the title.

Pretty sure Mane is on around 175k a week now.

[CCTV]

Think some of those wages are wrong justme

Iirc Robbo 100kpw
Trent 70kpw
(Still bargain wages ^^)
Jones signed a new contract recently enough so would have got a raise as well.

[vin]

Surprised that was our largest win margin in PL history.

Away win? I guess in PL history it probably is home & away
