[Kev0909]

Joelinton is world class, I hope phillips keeps him quiet

better at scoring than firmino

[Nineteenx]

Alisson

Trent Phillips Fabinho Robertson

Jones Henderson Milner

Salah Firmino Mane

Come on come on come ON Liverpool, come the fucking FUCK on Liverpool, let's be as good as we can possibly be here tonight, mix it up and use everything we know and have learned over the past 3 seasons, keep the intensity throughout and move the ball quickly and play our switches throughout and most of all be clinical with our opportunities to create chances and in finishing them throughout. Get the win here tonight and another vital 3 points

Let's hope Jones is a fuck site better than last time out and keeps it simple, plays it quickly and doesn't overplay and take too many touches and too much time everytime he has the ball

[justme]

Niice soild start and take it from there

[RedNoodle]

Joelinton is world class, I hope phillips keeps him quiet

better at scoring than firmino

Should I now put some money on Bobby to score at any time? ;)

[Steveo]

Come on the reds - let’s keep cool. No need to bombard them just take them apart - limb by limb,

[RedNoodle]

Come on the Reds!!!!!

Give me something to smile about, albeit very briefly.

[Nineteenx]

Here we go, Come on come on come ON Liverpool, come the fucking FUCK on Liverpool, get the win here tonight and another vital 3 points

[southernboy]

Hopefully we’re like the cliched wounded beast... i’m certainly hoping for a positive reaction.

[miller0863]

Snowing

[Steveo]

Corner to the Barcodes

Joelinton should do better.. as you were

[miller0863]

Carried on where we left off against the mighty West Brom

[Kev0909]

Should I now put some money on Bobby to score at any time? ;)

5 mins in, I'd say Joelinton

told you he's world class

[Steveo]

We get a corner - some better play from us there.

Come on

[Insidious]

The way Newcastle are doubling up on us in the wide areas, we might get some luck centrally.

Jones is certainly finding himself in a lot of space in transition so far.

[miller0863]

Salah called offside when a good yard onside.

And so it starts....

[Steveo]

Phillips is gonna kill us if he can’t play a more controlled game on the deck.

[RedNoodle]

You can cut out ****ing about with the ball at the back right now!!!

[RedNoodle]

Clark is booked for pulling back Milner.

[Steveo]

Wilson walks through Philips who looks a train wreck right now.

How on Earth are we depending on a player like Nat...? Seriously..


I will be amazed if we don’t concede tonight.

[miller0863]

Absolutely terrible defending by Phillips

[RedNoodle]

I can see Wilson getting a goal or two. I was worried about that and was going to going 3-1 in regards to my predictions as a result.

[eggy81]

Both Philips and Williams have shown to lack pace in last 2 games.

[miller0863]

I can’t believe we won’t bring in a CB in Jan.

[Steveo]

This isn’t looking great. Thiago is going to need to be used. As it is we are waiting for something to happen rather than making it happen

[RedNoodle]

I can’t believe we won’t bring in a CB in Jan.

Have you been paying attention to the business (or not) we have been doing in January in recent seasons?

[RedNoodle]

We could, possibly should be behind.

Sort it out FFS!!! :mad:

[Steveo]

Robertson down and getting treatment.

Looks a nasty turn on the foot/ankle but hopefully he comes back on

[miller0863]

Hmm .. very West Brom esque this, second half anyway.
Newcastle have looked seriously poor against everyone else yet they have been the brighter in the opening exchanges. We are lacking sharpness and energy

[eggy81]

That’s a follow through as far as I’m concerned

[miller0863]

This is worrying.

Can we have a ball too ??

[RedNoodle]

What was that Trent?

[miller0863]

Nat Phillips hasn’t got a clue how to defend against Callum Wilson I’m afraid

[RedNoodle]

Poor final ball from Mane.

[miller0863]

FFS our passing

[RedNoodle]

You've got to do better there Trent.

[Steveo]

Nice move there - Trent’s ball out to Mané great BUT he shoots like a girl when the ball arrives back.

[Nineteenx]

Piss break, let's hope we score while i'm away and pick up from there

[Steveo]

I would get that Spaniard of Brazilian extraction - Thiago - on that pitch ASAP.

[RedNoodle]

Trent giving the ball away. He's been sub par for a while now.

[Nineteenx]

Mix it up for fucks sake, their line is higher than expected, play some of the direct stuff, we didn't win the fucking league by passing through teams

[Steveo]

We won it by often grinding out results

[RedNoodle]

We're too 'one paced' again.

Mix it up FFS!

[eggy81]

Midfield 3 are too static. None of them really want to break forward.

[Nineteenx]

Now my fricking stream has packed up, the massive twat

Come on come on come ON Liverpool, come the fucking FUCK on Liverpool, mix it up, play some balls over the top, make the runs in behind, win the second balls

[Steveo]

Come on Bobby - ball control poor

[miller0863]

Lovely ball in to Bobby but yet another terrible first touch from one of our front three

[RedNoodle]

Midfield 3 are too static. None of them really want to break forward.

Two players who tend not to do that, and another with currently next to zero end product.

[boom-klopp]

that front 3 has had it’s day.

[Steveo]

Phillips looking dire when rushed

[Kev0909]

Fuck me we're the new arsenal thiago on at HT

[miller0863]

Dear dear Mo

[Steveo]

Salah misses a sitter. Keeper saves it but has to score


Has to score

[Steveo]

Bobby showing why he is never a number 9. Lovely move but - bury it Bobby stick that in the onion bag. Too unselfish

[miller0863]

Is someone going to take one of these chances then??

This is why we’re dropping points

[Steveo]

Worryingly - we are getting chances but we don’t seem to know how to finish them off

[miller0863]

Seriously how many times has a terrible first touch cost us a great position in this half??

[boom-klopp]

18/19 all over this

[LFC vs PFC]

18/19 all over this

Bold prection, nil nil at the mo.

[RedNoodle]

TAA giving the ball away yet again.

[Steveo]

We look just off in every attack. Bobby’s pass too far away from Salah and not close enough to Mané and a golden chance goes begging

[miller0863]

Another great position wasted, Bobby has two to play in and one defender to avoid, gives it to the defender

Ffs

[LFC-DPG]

Can’t even pass simple passes. Firmino has been atrocious

[RedNoodle]

Can’t even pass simple passes. Firmino has been atrocious

Has anybody been 'good'?

[RedNoodle]

Darlow saves a header from Bobby.

Should he have scored?

[Steveo]

Ball in the air and it’s on a plate for Bobby and he puts it at the keeper.

He really has been poor.

[Crimson Dynasty]

As poor a half as I've seen us play this season.

And I never imagined I'd be saying that after the Villa game.

[miller0863]

I say it again, Haaland would break all Premier League goal scoring records playing for us. We are laughably profligate and this season it is costing us.

[teesred]

Another absolute dogshit half to add to this seasons collection. Looks like 11 whove never played together.
Jones and Trent get special mentions. Jones playing hide and seek. Treat seeing just how far he can push Klopp before he drops him.

[justme]

TAA has stank the place out.. The ball near the end of the half where he played the ball into the middle. he coulda cared where it went.

[RedNoodle]

I say it again, Haaland would break all Premier League goal scoring records playing for us. We are laughably profligate and this season it is costing us.

Whilst FSG are in charge a signing like that isn't happening unless we were to sell either Mane and/or Salah.

[LEGS]

Wouldnt be surprised to see Thiago for Phillips and Hendo drop back.

Its an even game and I knew it would be tight the games are catching up with teams now and quality is sub standard shall we say.

[boom-klopp]

if fsg don’t pull their finger out and bring 2 cb’s in january that is a serious dereliction of duty.

we aren’t winning the league like this.

a cm, a pile of garbage in phillips and a rookie?? someone’s takin the piss

[Steveo]

Phillips a real worry. Bruce surely telling Wilson to run at him.

[Crimson Dynasty]

TAA has stank the place out.. The ball near the end of the half where he played the ball into the middle. he coulda cared where it went.

His body language is what's most disappointing to me.

Just looks like he couldn't be fussed to be out there.

[teesred]

TAA has stank the place out.. The ball near the end of the half where he played the ball into the middle. he coulda cared where it went.

Exactly what I thought. Lazy as fuck and he did it again shortly after. He needs a boot up the arse. Far too many comfortable positions in this team now.

[boom-klopp]

His body language is what's most disappointing to me.

Just looks like he couldn't be fussed to be out there.

his attitude stinks, been sayin it for a while.

[Crimson Dynasty]

Wouldnt be surprised to see Thiago for Phillips and Hendo drop back.

Its an even game and I knew it would be tight the games are catching up with teams now and quality is sub standard shall we say.


...in the 87th minute?

Klopp might surprise us all and actually make a sub in the 82nd minute this time.

[miller0863]

Thiago surely going to start the second half. I would be tempted to drop Henderson back to CB before Phillips gifts them a goal. One thing about Gini, no one keeps the ball better than him and as they break on us every time we carelessly give the ball away, Gini wouldn’t be doing that nearly as often as happened in that half.

As for the front three, poor again. Keep getting into good positions and ballsing it up either with a poor final ball or first touch.

Mo Salah should most definitely be scoring his clear chance too.

[Nineteenx]

HT Really very poor half, spent most of it like the WBA game trying to pass through them, we didn't win the league passing through teams, we won it by trying that and mixing it up with going direct too and actually scored most of our goals from the direct stuff or winning second balls and then scoring from that position, Our best chance was Bobby's header, ball played over the top by Millie, Robbo doesn't win it, Mane wins the second ball and tees up Bobby, just like how a lot of our goals last season were scored

We NEED to mix it up and Newcastle aren't camped on their own 18 yard box, their line is a lot higher than anticipated, try and pass through, try and go wide and get crosses in, play the switches, try some of the more direct stuff, trying all those things is what makes us so formidable

Hook Jones for Ox or Thiago at HT please, he's been worse than the last game, too slow and ponderous, wants too much time and too many touches

Over to Jurgen as ever to work his HT magic and make sure we're a fucking damned site better second half

[ianlfc]

We look average, which is a worry. Get Tiago on and let him pull the strings along with the Ox.

[justme]

Newcastle to retreat even further back. we will have loads of chances and they will nick one on the break.

[Steveo]

Newcastle to retreat even further back. we will have loads of chances and they will nick one on the break.

This does sound a very plausible outcome.

If you can’t finish you can’t win. That said - we aren’t creating much really.

[Nineteenx]

Second half imminent, Come on come on come ON Liverpool, come the fucking FUCK on Liverpool, let's be A LOT better this half, mix it up, be a lot more fucking clinical with our chances and opportunities to create them, get Thiago and Ox both on at some point to help with that, get the win and another vital 3 points here tonight

[miller0863]

Bobby has had two clear chances, one poor touch and one weak header. Mo had a one on one with the keeper and Jones was played in but his first touch resembled a weak shot.

[LEGS]

I think all teams are struggling now in the league its not just us.

I felt we'd have a hard game and it is proving to be just that we arent going to roll teams over.

I keep saying it if we dont sign a CB we are not winning anything.

[justme]

Carroll to come on to elbow a few players?

[RedNoodle]

Come on the Reds!!!!

Score a goal so I can enjoy my brie sandwich.

[eggy81]

Jones need to drop out for a bit now. Is catching up with him. Trent has been poor all season pre and post injury

[Steveo]

Fab in the book - they were in on us then. Not good Fak Barcodes

[RedNoodle]

Carroll to come on to elbow a few players?

If he came on and scored I would not be in the least bit surprised.

[Steveo]

And another FK for Newcastle.

Hmm

[miller0863]

Jesus wept stop giving them free kicks round our box ffs.

[Crimson Dynasty]

Come on the Reds!!!!

Score a goal so I can enjoy my brie sandwich.


Brie?
I think you should have gone for the baked beans and sausage.

On a completely unrelated note, we might need you to visit the loo sometime soon-ish.
See if you can get your bowels to corporate.

[RedNoodle]

Jones need to drop out for a bit now. Is catching up with him. Trent has been poor all season pre and post injury

Too many hyping him up too much. He has had a couple of decent moments/games and that's it. His end product is currently lacking, and he's also had some slack/costly moments. He really shouldn't be playing as prominent a part in our side as he currently is.

[RedNoodle]

Brie?
I think you should have gone for the baked beans and sausage.

On a completely unrelated note, we might need you to visit the loo sometime soon-ish.
See if you can get your bowels to corporate.

It's something I got into a little while ago. It's about as pungent a cheese as I can handle. It's my occasional snack/treat.

I love a sandwich of all types e.g. bacon, sausage, egg and chips all in one sarnie. Lovely.

[Steveo]

Yipeee we have a corner. Fast becoming our best route to a goal

[RedNoodle]

Mane hits the side netting.

[RedNoodle]

Jesus wept stop giving them free kicks round our box ffs.

When did Lucas re-sign for us?

[Crimson Dynasty]

It's something I got into a little while ago. It's about as pungent a cheese as I can handle. It's my occasional snack/treat.

I love a sandwich of all types e.g. bacon, sausage, egg and chips all in one sarnie. Lovely.

I've recently developed a thing for gouda myself.
It's a bit rich and something of a treat, but them Dutch know what they're doing in the cheese business.

[Steveo]

Mané with a careless ball. Great chance to get us in

[RedNoodle]

I've recently developed a thing for gouda myself.
It's a bit rich and something of a treat, but them Dutch know what they're doing in the cheese business.

Aye. I have Gouda myself from time to time.

[Crimson Dynasty]

Looks like one of them games where we'll huff and puff and huff and puff and create nothing, and then Klopp will get a bit of a light bulb moment in the 80th minute and decide that maybe its time to change things up and bring in a sub with too little time to have any impact.

[miller0863]

Nat Phillips is going to be having nightmares about Callum Wilson

[RedNoodle]

I would have taken a scrappy 0-1 before the game kicked off, and I certainly would right now.

[Steveo]

Looks like we could play for a week and not score

[Kev0909]

Nat Phillips is going to be having nightmares about Callum Wilson

Honestly why drop williams? poor lad got done for 1 goal but that's it way to fuck his confidence

waiting for the 85th min thiago & ox changes who both can change the game who should be on the pitch

really is a joke

[Nineteenx]

Get Thiago and Gini on for Jones and Millie asap

Come on come on come ON Liverpool, come the fucking FUCK on Liverpool

[RedNoodle]

Klopp is going to do his usual and wait overly long to make a sub.

[southernboy]

I always fancy us to score, but tonight I just can’t see it. We’ve been poor all over the pitch.

[Crimson Dynasty]

Aye. I have Gouda myself from time to time.

'Welcome to Cheese Talk with Noods and Crimsy'

We guarantee you an entertaining evening (at least more entertainment than you'll be getting from the Footy, it seems).

[Kev0909]

Klopp is going to do his usual and wait overly long to make a sub.

fucking pathetic

Shaqiri
thiago
ox

!!!!!! what else do you want on bench, change it ffs

[miller0863]

Hat trick of consecutive give sways by the skipper

[RedNoodle]

'Welcome to Cheese Talk with Noods and Crimsy'

We guarantee you an entertaining evening (at least more entertainment than you'll be getting from the Footy, it seems).

Lol! I was thinking the very same. :)

[Kev0909]

Hat trick of consecutive give sways by the skipper

World class performance from the captain and firmino again!

[eggy81]

61 minutes of pure and utter shite.

[teesred]

This is absolute shit. Careless and lazy.

[RedNoodle]

We just seem devoid of everything. No zip, creativity, decent first touch, accurate passing/shooting. Nothing.

[Kev0909]

Fuck this shit get Milner and jones off, thiago ox on!!

and if that fails get shaqiri on for henderson and go for it

[Steveo]

You can see why we aren’t scoring

[RedNoodle]

Milner is booked.

[Kev0909]

Midfield is far too negative

[Steveo]

Gini coming on

[RedNoodle]

FFS Salah!!!!! You've got to score there!!!!! :mad:

[Kev0909]

Gini coming on

Great.....

guess ox and thiago aren't 100%

[Crimson Dynasty]

Newcastle look so comfortable out there.
Especially without the ball.

Because like West Brom before them, they know for all our neat pretty little passes side to side, we're not going to do anything to threaten them.


Their goalie might as well pour himself a cuppa.

[LFC-DPG]

Barn fucking door tonight.

[Steveo]

Salah played in beautifully by Bobby - ball doesn’t need controlling attention all - but - he fluffs it!!!!


Shite

[miller0863]

Jesus Christ

Do we want the title again this season??

I mean seriously want it???

[RedNoodle]

Gini coming on

If he's off, is he going to give 100%?

Also we're away from home. Not his forte.

[eggy81]

Ffs mo. Of all the nights to lose the shooting boots.

[HLOGI]

Henderson has been utter utter dross

[Kev0909]

If he's off, is he going to give 100%?

not really the change i'd make, he's not known for his goalscoring or goal creating..

I'd still put him on for henderson, and thiago and ox for jones and milner

[Crimson Dynasty]

Mr. "I wanna go to Real Madrid (or Barca)" can't seem to hit the side of a barn door today.

[RedNoodle]

FFS Bobby!?!?!

What the **** is wrong with us?!?!? :mad:

[Steveo]

Now Bobby misses a sitter again. FFS

Has 2 score.

Both Bobby and Mo should each have had a brace. Stunningly shite finishing - utter garbage

[eggy81]

Bobby ffs

[HLOGI]

Great conversion rate from MO Salah tonight. Bobby also doing fantastic. Our 2 most dangerous and potent attackers.

Manethe worst of the 3. Has done absolutely nothing. Also should have scored all those chances.

[miller0863]

Now a free header from Bobby 5 yards out

Kinell

[Nineteenx]

Gini on for Jones, about fucking time

Come on come on come ON Liverpool, come the fucking FUCK on Liverpool, get yourselves in front here now, stop fucking wasting chances

[Artisan]

Getting closer....

[Kev0909]

Don't worry boys salah will get the goal

makes sense to get jones off the most attacking minded out the 3, for wij a more hardworking midfielder again

total sense

[HLOGI]

Firmino missing a very difficult header there. Was very hard to score especially for a striker with a conversion rate like his.

[HLOGI]

Ffs mo. Of all the nights to lose the shooting boots.

WHEN does he have it. Needs tons of chances.

[RedNoodle]

If Thiago and/or Shaqiri are fit enough for the bench, get them on the pitch.

[eggy81]

Great conversion rate from MO Salah tonight. Bobby also doing fantastic. Our 2 most dangerous and potent attackers.

Manethe worst of the 3. Has done absolutely nothing. Also should have scored all those chances.

Mane is getting no service tonight. I think he’s most likely to net for us if he gets a chance. Working very hard.

[HLOGI]

Mané with a careless ball. Great chance to get us in

Ja he is utter shite.

[southernboy]

The finishing against Palace, seems a long long time ago.

[RedNoodle]

Don't worry boys salah will get the goal

makes sense to get jones off the most attacking minded out the 3, for wij a more hardworking midfielder again

total sense

Both Milner and Jones should have been hooked for Thiago and Shaqiri.

[Kev0909]

Mane is getting no service tonight. I think he’s most likely to net for us if he gets a chance. Working very hard.

Because the midfield offering nothing

Wij for jones ain't gonna help

[HLOGI]

Mane is getting no service tonight. I think he’s most likely to net for us if he gets a chance. Working very hard.

How can he has such a horrible conversion rate. He has actually done absolutely nothing this game. A passenger.

[Insidious]

The finishing against Palace, seems a long long time ago.

I'd love Taki and Ox on.

[Kev0909]

Both Milner and Jones should have been hooked for Thiago and Shaqiri.

Yep instead we have wij for jones

total sense

[miller0863]

Salah yet again. What are you doing lad???

[HLOGI]

If Thiago and/or Shaqiri are fit enough for the bench, get them on the pitch.

My sentiment as well. Will come on if we 1 down with 3minuted to go.

[RedNoodle]

FFS Hendo!?!?! What was that?????

Thiago is coming on. Welcome back.

Milner goes off.

[Steveo]

I FFS Henderson with another shot that a school boy of 12 would get an earful for.

Technique of a child...!

[Kev0909]

Thiago gets a whole 17 mins

Better than normal

Ox/thiago should of come on a lot earlier, worst performance from the midfield in some time, total shite

[Artisan]

Lets see what the show pony has...

[HLOGI]

What a brilliant touch from Salah when through on goal. Imagine if it was Mane.

[miller0863]

Thought Milner was playing better than Hendo who has been poor.

[RedNoodle]

My sentiment as well. Will come on if we 1 down with 3minuted to go.

Nah. It will be Origi that comes on. :rolleyes:

[HLOGI]

Milner actually had a decent game from a defensive point of view.

[eggy81]

What a brilliant touch from Salah when through on goal. Imagine if it was Mane.
Are you ok buddy.

[Nineteenx]

Thiago on for Millie, Come on come on come ON Liverpool, come the fucking FUCK on Liverpool, get making your runs lads, Thiago's on, get yourselves ahead here now

[Kev0909]

Thought Milner was playing better than Hendo who has been poor.

Honestly would be nice to be ballsy sometimes in games like this

60 mins down 0-0 against a team for the taking?

Thiago Ox wij all on instead, change the midfield dross completely

[RedNoodle]

Did everyone hear that? We have the FOURTEENTH highest net spend in the PL over the last five years, despite being the FIFTH richest club in the world. :o + :mad:

[eggy81]

Trent need a serious talking to.

[Kev0909]

Trent need a serious talking to.

needs to be dropped

[Crimson Dynasty]

Horrible freekick from Trent.

What a waste
Not surprising.

[RedNoodle]

Phillips is booked.

[southernboy]

I’m at the point where I would take a draw right now, and no injuries... Thiago in particular

[miller0863]

Jesus Christ how bad is Phillips

[Steveo]

Philips takes out a Barcode with his face

[eggy81]

Thiago already has improved our play.

[RedNoodle]

Allison saves a Clarke header.

[Steveo]

Alisson saves us from going behind.

How can they get one on target with such ease

[Kev0909]

Firmino back to playing CDM

[HLOGI]

Jesus Christ how bad is Phillips

Horrendous

[Crimson Dynasty]

It'll be criminal malfeasance if we don't get in a Centerback during this transfer window.

[miller0863]

Put it in ffs

[RedNoodle]

FFS!!! The ball is hooked off the line.

[RedNoodle]

Put it in ffs

It's not happening.

[eggy81]

Sitter from mane

[Crimson Dynasty]

If we can't score even from that, then we're never going to score even if we play on another 100 hours.

[Steveo]

I am going to upgrade it from a week - we wouldn’t score if we played for a month

[eggy81]

Least Thiago is making this watchable

[Crimson Dynasty]

Sitter from mane

......ssssshhh...

Mane doesn't miss sitters.
He has the best conversion rate of all our attackers.

Our,....'best attacking player'™

[boom-klopp]

we lost the title on sunday. something wrong in this squad. one of sadio or salah has to leave because it’s broken.

it’s obvious.

[Nineteenx]

Better, Thiago spraying some lovely balls and switches about, Come on come on come ON Liverpool, come the fucking FUCK on Liverpool, nick yourselves a goal here now

[Insidious]

Least Thiago is making this watchable

What a player.

[RedNoodle]

FFS Wijnaldum!?!?! WTF was that final ball?!?!? :mad:

[Steveo]

OH FFS Gini - simple ball and it’s a goal

[Kev0909]

I'm gladi Wij came on instead of ox/shaqiri

waste of a sub in this situation

[Crimson Dynasty]

Come on, Gini!

Go for the fucking shot!

[HLOGI]

Some of our players are playing to their level. They are average to good as individuals who have played amazingly well as a group for 3 seasons. Salah is good not world class. Henderson is okay but not world class. Trent, Milner, Firmino, Gini all have played out of their skind before but are performing now at their level.

Players that are that level higher imo are Mane, Becker, Robbo, Thiago, Fab, and most importantly Van Dijk. Jota will be boss as well. But the others are okay. And if there are too many of those average in the starting it us a problem.

[LFC-DPG]

Ffs even our subs can’t pass.

Correct in the main - but Salah is defo world class.

Nobody would EVER say Hendo was World Class - not even his Agent 19zzzzz

But the rest - yep

[miller0863]

You fuckin coward. Shoot ffs.

Jesus wept this is the most frustrating display for as long as I can remember. We should be at least 4 up. Clear chances missed by 4 or 5 different players

[Nineteenx]

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

[Kev0909]

Thiago should of got at least 30 mins

[miller0863]

Thiago is miles ahead of anyone else on the pitch. Awesome since coming on

[RedNoodle]

FFS!!! Another great chance goes begging.

[miller0863]

It ain’t going in

[Artisan]

It's like we're thinking too much, we've lost the spontaneity and enjoyment of just playing.

[teesred]

Thiago is miles ahead of anyone else on the pitch. Awesome since coming on

Literally the only positive from this.

[RedNoodle]

Four minutes of stoppage time.

[Nineteenx]

Come on come on come ON Liverpool, come the fucking FUCK on Liverpool, anyone anyhow from anywhere time, NICK yourselves a late late winner here now

[Kev0909]

pathetic finishing

[RedNoodle]

Shaqiri is coming on?!?!? WTF?!?!?

Klopp is bat-**** mental at times!!!!! :mad:

[Kev0909]

91st min sub to waste some time

fucking madness

make it earlier ffs

[Steveo]

Shaq getting a fair crack of the whip

91 minutes

I did say Klopp was cracking up a few weeks back after Brighton... I am deadly serious.

Plays our biggest threat Jota 90 mins in a dead rubber.

The guy is trying to prove something and he won’t

[HLOGI]

Correct in the main - but Salah is defo world class.

Nobody would EVER say Hendo was World Class - not even his Agent 19zzzzz
D3
But the rest - yep

MO is a 1 footed. Bcant head or dribble. He is a counter attack merchant or cut in and shoot.

[RedNoodle]

Thiago gives the ball away summing up our night in one moment.

[miller0863]

If we had enough players, I’d be rotating all of the front three. They’ve been incredibly flat for two games and have been why we have dropped four points to absolutely woeful teams.

[Artisan]

Why on earth bring Shaq on now? give me strength.

[Crimson Dynasty]

Remember the good old times of last year on our way to the title when we'd have awful games but still find ways to grind out results and get the three points?

Good times...
Good times....

Oh look!

Shaqiri coming in for 3 fuck all minutes in injury time.

It's not like we could have used a creative player earlier in this match, or anything.

[Kev0909]

Why isn't the captain shouting at all the fuckers!!!

wheres ya heart

wheres ya pride

we are liverpool this means more

[HLOGI]

Shaq getting a fair crack of the whip

91 minutes
Minamino should leave. He will never play for Klopp. Maybe he was a commercial signing. To get shirts sales in asia

[RedNoodle]

****ing pump the ball into the box instead of fannying around FFS!!!!! :mad:

[Artisan]

****ing pump the ball into the box instead of fannying around FFS!!!!! :mad:

You'd think we were 5-0 up

[Kev0909]

Another famous draw what a joke

the subs pathetic

too late again

fuck off

[HLOGI]

Why isn't the captain shouting at all the fuckers!!!

wheres ya heart

wheres ya pride

we are liverpool this means more

They have made their wildest dreams come true. They don't have that serial winner thing b

[RedNoodle]

What a load of ****!!!!! :mad:

I was in tremendous pain before the game kicked off. I'm in even more now!!!!! :mad:

Utter, utter ****. :mad:

[RedNoodle]

Minamino should leave. He will never play for Klopp. Maybe he was a commercial signing. To get shirts sales in asia

Knowing FSG, that wouldn't surprise me one bit.

[justme]

Ok

[HLOGI]

Even if we win the league again which unless Van Dijk comes back sooner than I don't see it happening. But even if we do we would have because others were less shite.

[HLOGI]

Knowing FSG, that wouldn't surprise me one bit.

LOL. Knew you'd come that way.

[Balinkay]

Ah well, shite happens.

We created plenty but when you can't hit the empty net from five yards out or score one of two one-on-ones you really don't deserve more.

Btw Mane should have flung himself to the floor in the situation where he was trying to get to the ball on the goal line. VAR might have given a pen as the goalie was holding on to Sadio's leg like it was his first lover.

[Crimson Dynasty]

This is on Klopp as much as anyone.

His nonsensical rotation and dropping players who had good games (Why drop Williams who put in a decent effort last time out and bring in Phillips who struggled all afternoon. And where the hell is Taki after his good game at Palace?)

His lackadaisical and late substitutions almost like he's allergic to making changes at halftime.

And his insistence on persisting with players who are serving nothing but dogshite performances out there (Trent)

4 points dropped against teams we should be beating while the Mancs are pulling off last minute wins against tough opponents, just about sums us up for this year.


The Mancs are going to do us.

[justme]

Minamino should leave. He will never play for Klopp. Maybe he was a commercial signing. To get shirts sales in asia
Maybe Klopp is like most managers as has his favourites ie Firmino.. I dont want him to play the number 9 role. you are either a striker or NOT

[Artisan]

Absolute bollox...missing Fab in the middle, need to spend on a CB asap.

[RedNoodle]

This season is reminiscent of a 'certain' season under Rafa where we came unstuck by dropping far too many points to teams we should have been dispatching with relative ease/on a regular basis.

[miller0863]

That’s a joke lads. A fuckin joke. 8 points dropped to Newcastle, Brighton, West Brom and Fulham.

Arrogant fuckers.

Trent is going through his worst run of form for a couple of years, Jones needs taking out of the firing line and Henderson needs a rest.

Phillips??? Jesus.

The front three need a shake up because one goal against Newcastle and West Brom is pathetic for the clear, clear chances they had.

[Insidious]

Going to have to find ways to penetrate more centrally going forward.

Our crossing can be pretty effective, but there's more than one way to skin a cat.

[LEGS]

Not a great result but Phillips was excellent 2nd half.

End of the day we'd all have taken this a few months back.

United will be level on Friday but City will win it they have the squad depth we dont its that simple.

I can live with it I dont care what team you are you arent blowimg teams away with our injuries.

Missing Jota as well not much point putting Origi on after his performances this season.

[Kop On Portugal]

Embarrassing.
We are seeing a game from the dark times under Brendan Rodgers?? In last minutes keeping the ball at the back happy with the draw?? One more joke game.
What it's more concerning for me it's the performances from some players that are deserving be on the bench for next few games, TAA awful, Curtis Jones pretty bad too in last 2 games and Salah. Those 3 players at least don't deserve be on first team next game.
And why make a sub on 91th minute?? Wtf??

[Kev0909]

giving thiago 17mins pathetic..... if he's on the bench surely he can play more


Shaqiri 3mins ROFL at least it used some injury time up for the 0-0

Wij on, just what we need to bring on to secure the 0-0 draw

Captain happy with this shit too, pathetic

[eggy81]

Even if we win the league again which unless Van Dijk comes back sooner than I don't see it happening. But even if we do we would have because others were less shite.
Or more shite?

[teesred]

First time I've been really furious with Klopp. Anyone could see that game was going nowhere and he left it far too late again, he never changes that way of thinking.
on the plus side if Thiago can stay fit we'll be fine.
Can't see Phillips getting a game again soon, he wasnt great. I was one who thought he deserved to be playing but on that show he won't be getting much game time.
There's too many players who are playing at half levels. Mane looks like he's arsed. Trent the less said the better, he was shockingly bad. Even Hendo was poor.
We need to buck our ideas up sharp because we can't keep playing like this. Spurs and Palace are our only decent league performances for months.

[RedNoodle]

LOL. Knew you'd come that way.

Did you read my post about what they said in commentary/what I've been banging on about for ages?

We are the FIFTH richest club in the WORLD, yet only have the FOUTEENTH highest net spend in the PL, never mind in word football as a whole.

We need a bigger/better squad, and Klopp needs to give his head a little bit of a wobble, especially when it comes to his use of subs.

[Kop On Portugal]

That’s a joke lads. A fuckin joke. 8 points dropped to Newcastle, Brighton, West Brom and Fulham.

Arrogant fuckers.

Trent is going through his worst run of form for a couple of years, Jones needs taking out of the firing line and Henderson needs a rest.

Wasn't Phillips fault mate, it's board mistake because they know they can't relying on joke Matip. I agree, we need Fabinho in the middle

[Kev0909]

newcastle have been utter shite lately too, for fuck sake

[Nineteenx]

Very disappointing, VERY disappointing, subs were way too late, that midfield wasn't working all first half and Jones was absolute shite again, should have brought Thiago on at HT, at least him coming on, albeit too late was one small high note of another dismal performance

If you have as many chances as we had and don't score it is going to cost you points, both Mo and Bobby had 2 really really good chances each they simply have to be scoring at least one of those 4 chances between them, how it isn't a pen when their keeper hooks Mane's leg with his arm to stop him getting the his parry ahead of their defender only those VAR fuckers know, dirty cheating Manc cunts

Trent absolutely shocking again today, what the fuck is up with him?

Move on, start Gini, Hendo and Thiago in the next game, as ever all the focus on the next game, getting the win and another vital 3 points, at least we're getting players back now and should start improving and winning more games

[eggy81]

Think we are panicking a bit early. We still should have won that comfortably. The lads up til would want to stop fucking around. There’s a bit of a stench of arrogance over us. We finished that game like we should have started it. Need to be getting on top of these teams much earlier but for some reason we are passive in the early stages of games.

[Insidious]

Disappointing as tonight is, you saw a difference once Thiago comes on.

If (huge if) we were to get a centre-back in January and if (huge if) Thiago is fit for even half of the remainder of the season, you'd fancy results to pick up somewhat.

We're certainly reverting to type, aren't we? In terms of doing things the hard way.

[justme]

Klopp is worried ABOUT INJURIES. so his mind set is to make changes to late.

[Nineteenx]

Wasn't Phillips fault mate, it's board mistake because they know they can't relying on joke Matip. I agree, we need Fabinho in the middle

Yeah that worked an absolute treat in our worst defeat in 70 years didn't it ffs, what we do need Fab to do is play some of the longer diagonals Virgil used to regularly hit 5 or 6 times a game when we were pressed and there wasn't much on, if he can manage it

[miller0863]

Salah has absolutely no excuses, he had three guilt edged chances put on a plate for him tonight and never looked like taking one.

I’m sure Real will be desperate to splash out £150m with too many performances like the last two mate.

[LEGS]

I was right to not be feeling confident at the start.

We need that break after Southampton and we 100% need a CB.

Thiago surprised me how many headers he won got a decent leap on him for a fairly small guy.
