[Nineteenx]

Come on come on come ON Liverpool, come the fucking fuck on Liverpool, let's have some goals here today, a win and another vital 3 points

[miller0863]

We’ll bum them off the park. 3-0.

[CCTV]

We’ll bum them off the park. 3-0.

Think there might be a bit more give and take than that sadly, 1-2

[Nineteenx]

We’ll bum them off the park. 3-0.

Let's bum them into oblivion, Origi hat trick, he's the new Jota, the new Emperors new clothes

[eggy81]

This will be a test with that line up. We need to own the ball and give them no opportunity to build up steam.

[Steveo]

A huge test to be honest - as mentioned apart from in goal - everything is changed

[Kev0909]

dont let them attack and we'll be fine

[Insidious]

Soucek and Antonio are dangerous, but if we keep the set pieces to a minimum and keep plenty of the ball it goes a long way.

Come on lads.

[Nineteenx]

Kick off imminent, Come on come on come ON Liverpool, come the fucking fuck on Liverpool, get the win and another vital 3 points here today

[Artisan]

Come on you Reds....

[3underpar]

Physically they are a handful. Hope we can cope.

[Steveo]

Physically they are a handful. Hope we can cope.

Sods law eh - major physical threat while we lose any physical presence we do have.

[miller0863]

Origi has obviously been watching how Sadio supports Robbo when we break, just jogging alongside a defender. Wake up you big lazy galoot

[Steveo]

Origi with wild shot

[miller0863]

Div has started well...

[RedNoodle]

This line up + West Ham's form + Jon Moss = Trouble

[southernboy]

Just got in. No Mané. WTF are we doing to our players?

[LFC vs PFC]

Odd choice of strip, can't we use our white one.

[Nineteenx]

Wild blast from Origi there when he could have played Mo in, must have missed the leeds game

[Steveo]

Now Gini does the same. Wild shot - come on lads - make it hit the back of the net

[Kev0909]

looks like we're trying to keep the ball much as possible

good work

[miller0863]

Terrible from Mo giving the ball to Antonio

[eggy81]

Nice start. Some good link up play down the flanks.

[miller0863]

Shaq looks like the obligatory little fat one you normally get in Sunday League

[Steveo]

Shaq looks like the obligatory little fat one you normally get in Sunday League

It’s as broad as it’s long :D

[CCTV]

looks like we're trying to keep the ball much as possible

good work

Solid opening 10

[Steveo]

We need to score - set pieces will be hard to defend v these

[Kev0909]

Solid opening 10

yep playing like we should, not sure why people are moaning already give em a break

[Kev0909]

Don't have to worry about cbs if you don't give west ham the ball ;)

good gameplan

[Nineteenx]

Come on Origi lad, be making a fucking run to get in a header in front of their CB when the ball's coming in from there, fucking hell lad, it's the basics of CF play

[Insidious]

Don't have to worry about cbs if you don't give west ham the ball ;)

good gameplan

Up until that chance for West Ham on the 23rd minute we have done an excellent job.

If we can maintain the monopoly on possession and find more cutting edge we can grind this.

[eggy81]

Salah could have tried knocking that down for origi I though there. Maybe too high?

[Steveo]

Oh so close - good hold off and setup by Mo - Shaq has a good chance there.

[miller0863]

We’ve played good possession football but have yet to create a single chance.

[Nineteenx]

See there, Re that UAE FC goal, Trent coming back from an offside position, their defender has a touch, flag goes up

[Nineteenx]

We’ve played good possession football but have yet to create a single chance.

We've kept and moved it well enough, we've only got one forward worthy of the name to try and play in though

Come on come on come ON Liverpool, come the fucking fuck on Liverpool, nick yourselves a goal here now

[Steveo]

Love his touch - but - is Shaqiri fit?

[TheDOC1979]

Love his touch - but - is Shaqiri fit?

You asking for a friend??

[LFC vs PFC]

Love his touch - but - is Shaqiri fit?

Predictive text?

[Steveo]

You asking for a friend??

Hell no - asking for me :D

[justme]

yet another defensive team. fk me there are boring

[Artisan]

Loves Shaq's tackling ;)

[CCTV]

Shaq attack :D Flattened Bowen

[Steveo]

Powercube....

Free kick for West Ham here

[CCTV]

Another rice foul

[miller0863]

Poor from Thiago

[miller0863]

Div ffs lad, don’t you want game time ??

[Nineteenx]

Get Bobby and Ox warming up during the break and bring either of them on for Origi at HT, even now, he's been absolutely useless as ever so far

[Kev0909]

Nat's a beast incredible williams started over him

[Nineteenx]

Div ffs lad, don’t you want game time ??

Fucking useless, that shot he could have squared it to Mo for a tap in like he should have done for Mane v Burnley

[Steveo]

Origi has looked way too lethargic so far - he caused Burnley plenty of problems but so far you could defend him in a pair of slippers.

[eggy81]

Think robbo has been quiet poor today so far. Poor touches and under hot passes. Trent looks close to top form on the other hand. We need Bobby on at ht

[Nineteenx]

Come on come on come ON Liverpool, come the fucking fuck on Liverpool, nick yourselves a late late goal before HT here now

[Kev0909]

at least there's been a shot on target- west ham mind

[Steveo]

Decent effort - Thiago with a great ball - Div nearly but no dice

Then Salah has a strike - fair way out

[Nineteenx]

Nice clearance by Origi there, for West Ham

[CCTV]

Nice ball from Thiago, Divock sliding can't get the direction on it

[miller0863]

Kept the ball well, defended well when we needed to but that 11 could play til Thursday and not score.

[eggy81]

Unlucky there from origi. The pass was other worldly

[Kev0909]

Good lad, salah makes it so we have 1 shot on target before half time

[Nineteenx]

Think robbo has been quiet poor today so far. Poor touches and under hot passes. Trent looks close to top form on the other hand. We need Bobby on at ht

Relationships and consistency of formation and selection Eggy, a big part of Robbo and Mane being as good as they are is how they combine with each other, Origi's where Mane would be, maybe cut Robbo some slack, he's not got anything much to work with

[3underpar]

Zzzzzzzzzzzzz

[RedNoodle]

Kept the ball well, defended well when we needed to but that 11 could play til Thursday and not score.

Now where have I heard that before?

[Taksin]

Much prefer Philips to Williams

[Kev0909]

Phillips man of the half

imagine williams starting over him

fucking bullshit

[CCTV]

Half time 0-0

[Nineteenx]

Get Oxlade on for Origi at HT please, scored 3 in 3 when he came in for Mane last season, if we're saving Bobby, bring him on later to make it a front 3 again if necessary

[Steveo]

West Ham just waiting for their chance - we need to work their keeper WAY WAY more

[eggy81]

Relationships and consistency of formation and selection Eggy, a big part of Robbo and Mane being as good as they are is how they combine with each other, Origi's where Mane would be, maybe cut Robbo some slack, he's not got anything much to work with

Origi has nothing to do with robbo letting the ball roll over his foot and out for a throw or refusing to release the early pass to Thiago breaking the lines and continuously recycling possession.
Maybe someday you’ll make a post without an agenda behind it.

[justme]

Origi is not technically good enough on the floor. Another one for the knackers yard in the summer. good half from us against a 10 man back line

[CCTV]

Put Shaq left, origi top and Salah right for 10 mins second half

[boom-klopp]

thiago needs to play more on the wings and slot passes into the 6 yrd box.

only way we gonna break this lot down.

horrible to watch this anti football

[teesred]

Origi is not technically good enough on the floor. Another one for the knackers yard in the summer. good half from us against a 10 man back line
He can't turn when the ball comes to him with his back to goal, he just passes it back.
We are too slow again, the impetus from Thursday is missing. The midfield are not moving the ball quick enough and Shaq has barely moved from the 10 square yards hes stood in for 45 mins.

[LEGS]

I think we are playing well to be honest.

Its not going to be easy Moyes was always going to park the bus.

[eggy81]

Philip’s has been top class that half. Fair play to him. He’s very good in the air.

[justme]

He can't turn when the ball comes to him with his back to goal, he just passes it back.
We are too slow again, the impetus from Thursday is missing. The midfield are not moving the ball quick enough and Shaq has barely moved from the 10 square yards hes stood in for 45 mins.
I think its more to do with Spurs were more open..its the same old problem we struggle to break down low block teams. we have huge amount of possession. because we are allowed to have it

[Kev0909]

I like how teams seem scared to play us, they'd have a chance otherwise, same with spurs

so negative yet..... if they went for us we'd be in trouble


Zzzzzz what a load of shit this league is lol

[miller0863]

Bobby is on a different planet to Div ability wise.

[eggy81]

I think its more to do with Spurs were more open..its the same old problem we struggle to break down low block teams. we have huge amount of possession. because we are allowed to have it

We’ve no one that can beat a man or shoot from distance. We are also no threat in the air up front. Restricts us to having to pass teams to death and hope for a mistake or a piece of class to score against deep lying disciplined defences.

[TheDOC1979]

Bobby is on a different planet to Div ability wise.

When he wants to turn it on though

[eggy81]

When he wants to turn it on though
In fairness it’s either way. A shit Bobby still shits all over divock most days of the week.

[Kev0909]

In fairness it’s either way. A shit Bobby still shits all over divock most days of the week.

So would 80% of prem strikers

I'd love to have Wilson from newcastle instead, even bamford

[justme]

We’ve no one that can beat a man or shoot from distance. We are also no threat in the air up front. Restricts us to having to pass teams to death and hope for a mistake or a piece of class to score against deep lying disciplined defences.

Thats why i was thinking Shaqiri was missing in that half.. hes playing a free role. and hes been nowhere if you excuse the pun.. He needs to offer something different..

[eggy81]

So would 80% of prem strikers Touche

[teesred]

We need to move it quicker and these are stubborn to break down. Maybe Minamino coild play some part here?
The one or 2 times we played the ball a bit quicker it looked fairly promising. The tapping it around is doing nothing and they'll take it all day.

[CCTV]

Good options on the bench to be called upon. Fancy us to get the 3 points :)

[justme]

If Minimino doesnt come on. which is likely.. I can see Ox/Firmino/Jones coming on before him.. I think its likely Klopp as already made up his mind about him. And if a offer comes in in the summer he will be gone.

[miller0863]

No changes.

[Kev0909]

ben davies cb from preston?? new link

[Steveo]

Good options on the bench to be called upon. Fancy us to get the 3 points :)

Yes - that’s is the one beauty of that starting lineup.

[RedNoodle]

No changes.

Did you really expect any?

[Nineteenx]

Second half imminent, same 11, maybe one thing worth considering as when Origi's left he just keeps passing it backwards is having Shaqiri look to run in behind Origi when the balls goes back to Robbo for one over the top

Come on come on come ON Liverpool, come the fucking fuck on Liverpool, be better this half, get the win and another vital 3 points

[RedNoodle]

Good options on the bench to be called upon. Fancy us to get the 3 points :)

Yeah, West Ham's bench ain't bad. It's a pity ours is p.poor.

[Steveo]

Cynical foul on Hendo by Rice

[justme]

Fucking stupid bubbles they are like 3 year olds with them.

[RedNoodle]

Fucking stupid bubbles they are like 3 year olds with them.

I thought there had been a freak blast of snow before I released what I was actually looking at.

[Steveo]

And Div puts one on a plate for Mo, good move but good defending.

And Origi again with a decent effort.

Come on - we need a goal NOW

[miller0863]

Finally Div joins in. Closest we’ve come to scoring

[CCTV]

Rice finally booked, Henderson back up

[miller0863]

What about the blatant pulling on Origi? Automatic yellow surely

[Nineteenx]

Much better from Origi there, he's a lot better when he gets the ball to feet and has space to run into, good ball in for Mo

[Steveo]

Great sweeping up by Alisson there

[Nineteenx]

Come on Origi lad, fucking score, make me eat my words

[teesred]

ben davies cb from preston?? new link

Not just a link, looks like a deal. 2m.

[3underpar]

It is madness that the kid started ahead of Philips

[Kev0909]

Not just a link, looks like a deal. 2m.

yeah out of contract in summer

sounds like it'll be done to fsg's cheap delights

[Steveo]

Jones about to come on

[Nineteenx]

Jones imminent, likely for Millie because of minutes

[miller0863]

Caught there very easily for the first time, thought that was in.

[Kev0909]

It is madness that the kid started ahead of Philips

Indeed

who'd of thought it a guy that played in 2nd league in germany and got promoted... is better than the younger lad who was playing in non league season before

amazing isn't it

[Steveo]

Over the top challenge on Origi - Moss let’s them play on. Disgusting - almost leads to a goal.

WTF

[miller0863]

Beautiful beautiful goal Mo

[Kev0909]

Salah bails is out once more

he's as important to us as fernandes to utd

[Steveo]

Mooooooooooooooooooo.


Get in you beauty...

[Artisan]

Boommmm.....Salah...

[Nineteenx]

Jones for old man Millie, come on Jones lad, let's have a repeat of your bitters goal

Boooooooooooooooooooooom get the fucking FUCK in 1-0 Salaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

Come on come on come ON Liverpool, come the fucking fuck on Liverpool, keep keeping and moving it really well and nick yourselves a second

Instant impact from Jones with an assist

[Steveo]

Jones gets the assist

[Taksin]

Great substitution :)

[justme]

Salahhhhhhh

[3underpar]

Get in Mo

[teesred]

Classic Salah finish
Get in.

[Steveo]

Alisson with a strange and very risky clearance there. Calm down please

[CCTV]

Origi flattened, west ham break and Antonio fires wide

Salah !! Jones with the assist instant impact off the bench

[teesred]

yeah out of contract in summer

sounds like it'll be done to fsg's cheap delights

Yep. No disrespect to the lad but thats about as underwhelming as it gets.

[Crimson Dynasty]

Should we be concerned that Mo never seems to celebrate his goals these days?

Can't remember the last time I saw him whooping it up after putting one in.

I know there's been all talk of him wanting away and Real Madrid and all that,..

It just seems strange, that's all.

[3underpar]

Much better movement now

[Steveo]

Jones again with a good run

[southernboy]

How can you not love Milner? His reaction with Klopp was everything.

Let’s try to get a second, without leaving ourselves open to conceding a stupid goal.

[Nineteenx]

Like to see Robbo get on his bike and make the run in behind we'd usually expect from Mane when he's already avanced and Hendo has it deep

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

[LFC vs PFC]

Should we be concerned that Mo never seems to celebrate his goals these days?

Can't remember the last time I saw him whooping it up after putting one in.

I know there's been all talk of him wanting away and Real Madrid and all that,..

It just seems strange, that's all.

I thought this, but also remember the flak he got for going to his brother's wedding. He's playing with a smile on his face, but seems to try and distance himself from celebrating. Think it's just a covid thing.

[Steveo]

Brave as a Lion Hendo takes one to the head. Following a crazy FK given to WH against Gini when Gini was fouled. Resulting corner defended well by Jordan.

Worried about Moss

[Nineteenx]

Better again there for Origi, got in front of his defender, was strong and held it up to feed Thiago, that's all I want, do the basics well, facilitate the team playing

[Crimson Dynasty]

I thought this, but also remember the flak he got for going to his brother's wedding. He's playing with a smile on his face, but seems to try and distance himself from celebrating. Think it's just a covid thing.

He's also got a lot of flak for being too selfish too often (and a lot of it deserved criticism, too be fair) and not passing to teammates when their open and better positioned to score.
These sorts of things to get to players and sometimes even gets to their heads.

So it wouldn't surprise me if that was also playing a part in it.

[Steveo]

Another corner to WH. We are too deep.


What’s that Queen track.... Under Pressure

[Kev0909]

west ham finally playing football, if they did this in the first place they might of not been 1-0 down

[Steveo]

Get iiiiiin

Great break - Trent superb - Shaq wonderful - Mo wonderful goal

[Insidious]

That might just be my favourite goal of the season from us.

Wow!

[miller0863]

Oh my days !!!! That is one of the best breakaway goals you are ever going to see

[CCTV]

Get iiiiiin

Great break - Trent superb - Shaq wonderful - Mo wonderful goal

Boom :)

[Artisan]

Thats a bit special right there...Just wow...

[Kev0909]

Classic counter from corner for us!!!!!

not the first time

what a goal

Moyes?? aint you seen us do that before ;)

[Nineteenx]

Booooooooooooooooom get the fucking FUCK in 2-0 Salaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

Brilliant switch by Trent, decent ball by SHaq made into a brilliant ball by Mo with a sublime touch and finish

Bobby on for Shaq

Come on come on come ON Liverpool, come the fucking fuck on Liverpool, get playing and dominating the ball again and controlling the game and nick yourselves a third here now, Origi please ;)

[justme]

Sallahhh at the double

[3underpar]

Oh myyyyy that’s the Reds I know. Beauty

[RedNoodle]

That was lovely.

[teesred]

What a player. World class.
Some goal that.

[southernboy]

I’ll be honest, I thought the ball from Shaqiri was awful, but Salah made it look so easy. What a goal.

[Steveo]

What a break that is - passing is great... Have to say - Mo’s control and finish though. Woo ooooaaah - Off the charts good


Bobby on - now come on guys let’s have another

[LFC vs PFC]

That was us from two seasons ago. Utterly class and devastating on the break.
We are a completely different team when we're not playing against the low block.

[Taksin]

Well done Shaq

[CCTV]

Salah equalling a Rush record today :)

[eggy81]

That’s one of the best goals I’ve seen on a long long time.

[Crimson Dynasty]

That was one of the most beautiful goals I've ever seen us score.
Team goals.

Certainly the most beautiful one this season, in my book.

Liverpool FC at their very counter-attacking best.

[CCTV]

I’ll be honest, I thought the ball from Shaqiri was awful, but Salah made it look so easy. What a goal.

Right foot control, left foot finish :)

[RedNoodle]

Salah equalling a Rush record today :)

And I thought my feed was well behind.

[Steveo]

I’ll be honest, I thought the ball from Shaqiri was awful, but Salah made it look so easy. What a goal.

It’s an ok ball to be fair - decent - not great - all about the control and finish.

[Nineteenx]

Corner here, come on Origi lad, get across your man and score

[Crimson Dynasty]

This was helped by the fact that the Hammers were forced to come out of their defensive shell and try to get some attacks in to try and get an equaliser which opened them up at the back to create those spaces for us to run into.

It underlines the importance of us scoring early to dissuade opposition teams from getting into that "shape" and clumping down into a defensive shell that just takes a lot of effort to break down.

It also helps to have passing masters like Shaq, Trent (at his best) and Thiago.

[Steveo]

Bummer Gini nearly got in for a tap in . Corner to us. Nothing doing

Then Salah has a shot....and ..... it’s a touch over :D

[Nineteenx]

Give Ox of Minamino 15 minutes for Origi now

Come on come on come ON Liverpool, come the fucking fuck on Liverpool, nick yourselves a third goal here now, control the game

[Steveo]

Ox on - Minamino must be seriously wondering

[Kev0909]

Fucking hell teams are so negative against us hahaha

zzzzzzzzz

[Nineteenx]

The Oxinator on for Origi, MUCH better second half by Origi, did the basics much better, helped the team play

Come on come on come ON Liverpool, come the fucking fuck on Liverpool, control possession and the game here now and nick yourselves a third

[Kev0909]

Remember when we use to moan about teams not taking it to man city?

it's exactly the same

[Crimson Dynasty]

Expected sub with Ox on for Origi, but I just have to ask...

What does a (Japanese) brother gotta do to get some playing time around here?

[Steveo]

Remember when we use to moan about teams not taking it to man city?

it's exactly the same

Shhh - say that when the game is over

It’s all so easy to lose a goal

[Kev0909]

minaminno = Comercial signing for fsg to make some dolla in japan

[miller0863]

What a goal again

[Kev0909]

Shhh - say that when the game is over

It’s all so easy to lose a goal

moyes has even took antonio off....

they wouldn't score in another year

[Steveo]

Bobby you beauty - Gini strokes one home after a sublime ball from our number 9.

On a plate

0;3

[Kev0909]

They've thrown in the towl to be fair, fill ya boots

[Nineteenx]

Boooooooooooooooooooooom get the fucking FUCK in 3-0 Giniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

Put on a plate by Bobby, great involvement by Ox to release Firmino, THAT is the chasm of difference between the quality of Ox and Origi shown in just 5 minutes

Come on come on come ON Liverpool, come the fucking fuck on Liverpool, control this now and nick yourselves a fourth here now

[3underpar]

Love it Bobby to Wij 3-0

[Artisan]

Bobby's vision...

[Kev0909]

aww no clean sheet

[miller0863]

Poor defending for once

[CCTV]

Firmino assists Gini 0-3 :)

[Steveo]

Bollox - Dawson makes it 1:3

Too easy

[teesred]

This has been a good second half. Stepped it up and its paid off.

[Nineteenx]

3-1 fucks sake, wanted the clean sheet, keep it really well here now and nick yourselves a fourth

[Crimson Dynasty]

Okay, that was really good.

That was Bobby at his best;
getting into those little pockets of space and finding teammates with deft passes and delightful flicks.

We've scored a couple of collectors' items goals in this game.

[justme]

Giniiiiiiiii

[LFC vs PFC]

Bollox - Dawson makes it 1:3

Too easy

Just an unlucky flick, no more no less.

[Steveo]

Just an unlucky flick, no more no less.

Just mean they have created sweet FA but get a goal

[Steveo]

Keep ball please

[LFC vs PFC]

Just mean they have created sweet FA but get a goal

Fucking frustrating.

[Steveo]

Yep - better wording

[Artisan]

Phillips is growing into the position....

[Nineteenx]

Again great from Ox, to gather then release Mo wide, so so very much better than Origi there at LFWD, showed more in 10 minutes than Origi in 75

[Kev0909]

Bring on the next team who defends until we come up with the right pass /some bit of magic..... even with all the injury's we have

these negative teams are pathetic, west ham just as pathetic as spurs

all is good for us though ,keep it up we'll keep winning can't complain

it is funny though like i said we use to hate teams for not going at city more.

[Kev0909]

Phillips is growing into the position....

Is this lad from preston gonna be any better???

x3 the players williams is

[Nineteenx]

Yes Neville, we have played more direct this half, it's how we won the league

[Steveo]

That is some result against a bang in form West Ham. And us with half a team...

Amazing

[Nineteenx]

Up the bum job done, Hammers bubble bum burst, balls deep, no kissing

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

[LEGS]

Awesome performance midfield totally bossed it.

Klopp got the subs bang on.

Moyes shit himself got Tyler hoping why they not played Gary....its Moyes he parks the bus you know this

[miller0863]

Got to say, that was damned impressive from start to finish.

[Steveo]

Got to say, that was damned impressive from start to finish.

Don’t think Klopp could put it any better.

[Kev0909]

That is some result against a bang in form West Ham. And us with half a team...

Amazing

made it easy to be fair, so negative just like spurs

good we're out of the rut though, just glad teams don't try and come at us much at all!

[teesred]

Two good back to back results and second halves.
Shouts to Philips and Hendo who despite not having that much to do did everything well when they had to.

[Nineteenx]

Great game from Hendo and Phillips at CB, I give Fab every credit for his performances there, but he is a defender who was converted to a DM, I expect him to be good at defending, Hendo's a CM, Phillips was class, replay of their goal looked like he missed his header, but Robbo nicked it away from him

[Balinkay]

Excellent result! Some cracking goals too!

[justme]

Great win, excellent second half and well deserved 3 points

[TheDOC1979]

He’s not a defender. Leave it out already

[teesred]

Some results fell nicely for us elsewhere too.

[Steveo]

Excellent result! Some cracking goals too!

Salah’s second.... If that isn’t goal of the month/season - I will eat my shorts - and they are Bermuda’s

[Kev0909]

He’s not a defender. Leave it out already

imagine mentioning fabinho when he's not even played

[RedNoodle]

West Ham played into our hands, just as Tottenham did, not that I'm complaining.

It's a good job Salah has found his scoring boots again.

[Steveo]

imagine mentioning fabinho when he's not even played

He was anonymous tho... :D

[southernboy]

MotM Salah. I know that there are people on here that don’t rate him, but by Christ he’s given us some fantastic memories.

[miller0863]

Got to say I didn’t think Phillips had such a faultless performance in him. Even his distribution was good. Well done to the lad after recent shaky performances he was excellent, up against Antonio too.

[justme]

West Ham played into our hands, just as Tottenham did, not that I'm complaining.

It's a good job Salah has found his scoring boots again.

Salah is one hell of a player.. His scoring ratio for us.. Its out of this world.

[Kev0909]

MotM Salah. I know that there are people on here that don’t rate him, but by Christ he’s given us some fantastic memories.

what

how can you not rate salah???

without him we'd be in trouble he doesn't score, normally means we don't score

[Artisan]

Is this lad from preston gonna be any better???

x3 the players williams is

Both Williams are both only 19 with Phillips at 23 its showing...Played well today.

Which is the question, why did a guy that played in none-league last season start over Phillips who has some experience at least?

[CCTV]

Salah is one hell of a player.. His scoring ratio for us.. Its out of this world.

First player to score 20+ goals all comps in 4 consecutive seasons since Ian Rush at Lfc.

Mane has 10 goals this season iirc, he'd need 10 goals to match that achievement this season.

[ianlfc]

Amazing Mo.

[Nineteenx]

imagine mentioning fabinho when he's not even played

I was being complimentary

[HLOGI]

Despite a poor 1st half,

The main man on the park for us delivered. Mo Salah motm
Other key players contributed close to motm performances (Trent, Hendo)
Fringe players contributed (Shaq)
Klopp got it right in terms of sub(s)

[Artisan]

Loving Owen's thoughts on Mo's goal...Have to say, Bloody Love Mo.

[HLOGI]

Got to say I didn’t think Phillips had such a faultless performance in him. Even his distribution was good. Well done to the lad after recent shaky performances he was excellent, up against Antonio too.

Also his physical presence and he nullified the corner threat. Unlucky due to the flick of Robbo.

[Artisan]

what

how can you not rate salah???

without him we'd be in trouble he doesn't score, normally means we don't score

100%

[HLOGI]

Henderson actually looks a decent CB he managed his partner through the game as well. Nat went with Antonio and Hendo was behind to mop up.

Hope all those who jumped on Mo's back and called those of us who defended him, Salah 'fanboys' have been taught a lesson in football. Never ever get complacent when you have World-class players in your team. Mo is one of the very best and he's ours.

Give him the love he deserves!

[boom-klopp]

lovely stuff again.

one game at a time.

pottery barn next

[LEGS]

West Ham played into our hands, just as Tottenham did, not that I'm complaining.

It's a good job Salah has found his scoring boots again.

Spot on most teams are scared shitless of us.

I just dont get why West Ham wouldnt attack them.

Gini absolutely superb again today Doc?

Brilliant mate been boss in last two games.

[Insidious]

Henderson actually looks a decent CB he managed his partner through the game as well. Nat went with Antonio and Hendo was behind to mop up.

It's encouraging to see what he can do there, particularly given how much possession we keep.

I'd love Henderson to be around with us for a long while and his style of play in midfield when it comes to accelerations and ground coverage will have a certain time limit on it, but if he was an "option" there in the latter stages of his career it would be great.

Completely agree, we've been so blessed with strikers over the years...and Mo continues it. Some people need to respect us olders who know things ;)

Spot on mate.

[Insidious]

Some results fell nicely for us elsewhere too.

They really did - temporarily 5 points clear of 5th place which is good - ideally we could reach that without anyone behind us having games in hand, then eventually build it up to a 7-point gap.

The 25-match mark isn't far away and for anyone trying to catch us after that they will be working against the season's clock. We're just that much closer to forgetting about the panic button ("what if we miss Top Four?") and hopefully we can put that to bed as the season goes on.

City's form and lack of injuries still makes them favourites for the League but if we finished top of the table of the 19 other sides with everything that has happened I think we could be extremely proud.

[teesred]

Spot on most teams are scared shitless of us.

I thought it was strange they abandoned how they've been playing to sit off us like that, especiallyat home. Did them no favours at all.

[TheDOC1979]

Gini absolutely superb again today Doc?
nope

[LEGS]

I thought it was strange they abandoned how they've been playing to sit off us like that, especiallyat home. Did them no favours at all.

Moyes init he has fell into the trap of thinking bus parking is a point against us.

You know the style that pundits say is a masterclass when it works today it didnt and you have that moron Tyler asking what has happened twat.

[faridtoxteth]

nope

Come on mate, don't be like that. Gini was brilliant today.

[faridtoxteth]

That second Salah goal...it was Suarez-esque. I know Suarez has got his haters on here, and i undersatnd why, but I had to think of that goal he scored Kop end against Newcastle.

[redman99]

Come on mate, don't be like that. Gini was brilliant today.

Gini was superb and he got the third!

[eggy81]

Again great from Ox, to gather then release Mo wide, so so very much better than Origi there at LFWD, showed more in 10 minutes than Origi in 75
Watch him stink it up when he starts.

[eggy81]

nope
He was class today

[TheDOC1979]

Come on mate, don't be like that. Gini was brilliant today.

Not going to lie, didn't watch the game as I'm at work.

Today he may have played well, but as a midfielder he needs to be playing well more often than he is. He's averaging a good few minutes in most games, but I honestly don't see why people are jizzing over him as much as they do.

If he plays his position he does in the Dutch team, we might see a totally different player. Just my opinion mind you. I cant like every player.

[TheDOC1979]

Watch him stink it up when he starts.


He was class today

He might go missing against Brighton

[redman99]

That second Salah goal...it was Suarez-esque. I know Suarez has got his haters on here, and i undersatnd why, but I had to think of that goal he scored Kop end against Newcastle.

Yes totally like Luis. But Mo has gone into bigger heights than Luis and Fernando, both world-class strikers. Now give him that mega-deal he deserves along with Gini and the others. Long may he stay a Red!

[LEGS]

Origi didnt play on the left though Nineteen it was a diamond.

He did well second half and we needed his height for set pieces.

Nobody had a bad game today.

[faridtoxteth]

That second Salah goal...it was Suarez-esque. I know Suarez has got his haters on here, and i undersatnd why, but I had to think of that goal he scored Kop end against Newcastle.

Thinking about it again, it reminds me of that legendary Holland world cup goal. You know the one...Dennis bergkamp, Dennis bergkamo, Dennis bergkamp.

I think he means you Kev and Steveo, he omitted Trent who you were both hooking for Neco and failed to include Origi you all wanted in for Bobby who has stank the place out in both his recent games

[Nineteenx]

Not strictly speaking, it was definitely a diamond, but the forwards were frequently taking the LFWD or RFWD positions most often with the other one more central

Delighted to see Taa playing very well last 2 games. I’d been on his back for a few weeks but when he’s on it he’s unbelievable
