when i'm liverpool - the leïcester affair

Watch it before the Premier League meme Nazi's find it.
Downloaded already...kents

PS Kolo Easter eggs ftw...as usual.

[Bremsstrahlung]

City toying with us some more.
Newcastle waking Man U up and getting them riled up for next game.


And ffs, another international break?!?

[Frodo]

This place is awkwardly quiet this morning. I watched the game live and have been waiting for some salt in here ever since. Klopp's post game was pretty embarrassing, trying to cover up his teams bad attacking performance with a non existent foul on Origi.

[Bremsstrahlung]

Idk, we always drop points against a relegation battle team. This season no different.

We are normally very slow starters, and we normally do well post Christmas.
Again, I hope that this is a slow start for us and we will bring it home.

Didn’t see the game this morning, so can’t comment.
The general consensus is that we were lucky to grab a point.

That said, a point at old Trafford ain’t a bad result. I’ll take it and move on.

Non existent foul??

There was contact but highly minimal.

Issue is diving doesn't mean you get a free kick

Origi tried selling that and the refs didn't buy it

The goal could easily have been avoided the defending on Rashford was abysmal really


Klopp just diverting from the reality they couldn't beat a poor side who although tight in defence are impotent in attack and are missing their better players going forward

[Jetmaster]

I hate the new handball rule, I hate the VAR and I'm hating the game more each week.

And I don't even support Liverpool.

Things like this shit ain't what the rule was meant for.

[boz-monaut]

sounds like we missed a fun game this morning

5-5 at full time then 5-4 on pens

[Bremsstrahlung]

Caught the tail end at 4-4 after night shift.

Could sense the late equaliser. Origi with the goods again!
Kelleher with a fair crack at most of the pens too.

[plague]

without beginning to sound like an old person (because im not) but man oh man if youve got kids who love and play football then make them watch that game.
the amount of basic skills, when practiced to perfection, on show was a great indicator that these people arent aliens, but just players who do the small things right. Origis turn and technique for the 4th(?) was something i see coaches show kids all the time. but the difference between a 10 year old and a Prem level player is just practice, and confidence. Everyone out there today looked like they were having a ball (esp the young kids on both teams).

Ox looks like hes just gonna only score stinkers for the rest of his career and after all his injury dramas im cool with that.

oh, and that Martinelli from Arsenal is gonna be a huge problem for a long long time. what a player he is.

geez football is a fun game when done right.

[Frodo]

It was actually a technically poor game from both. Liverpool gave us plenty of chances (Milner gifted us the 4th) and we gave up plenty of chances too.

Also, Ref missed giving a handball penalty against Bellerin, and then gave them one for a dive 30 seconds later from the resulting corner. So even that was topsy-turvy.

But some of the attack from both teams was amazing. Willock with goal of the season in reply to Oxlade scoring a worldie, Ozil with a sublime assist on the line.

Not early, the deal was up this year. NB felt Liverpool were obliged to renew with them instead of going to Nike.

We are riding some lucky at the moment.
Looking forward to being the 3rd team to be leading at Xmas, to not win it.

it's only November but I'm pleased with that result

fell back asleep at half time but was a cracking game from what I did see

seven months to throw away this nine point lead over City - now we also have Leicester and Chelsea to worry about

[Jeterpool]

It was an interesting game.

The first Liverpool goal was against the run of play. A very lucky break with the handball appeal - reality is it could have gone either way. The Salah goal was brilliant.

The title race is on. 4 teams well and truly in it.

Liverpool have set themselves up an insurance buffer ahead of a hectic December.

Not sorry I got up for this one but will be paying for it the rest of the day. Might even fall asleep standing whilst hand watering Athfield today!

I thought Mané did well to connect with his header too. Great crosses/assists for both headers.

maybe you lot will know better than i, but was it ever 'really' 10 points? i thought City had games in hand and once they played them all the real gap was 6 or something going into the Citeh/Liverpool 2nd game.

with games even now, 9 points def seems like a bigger lead.

but of course, no, its not over.

[Retro Jet]

As a fellow fan rightly pointed out to me through the week, Liverpool has now played everyone from 7th up, winning 5 and drawing 1.
If you extend that to 8th for City, they've played against 2 so far and lost to them both. (Wolves and L'pool).
Chelsea - City's next next game, the derby 8/12 and Leicester 22/12 are looking like a very pivitol December for the sky blues.
:popcorn:

[plague]

City looked like a beaten team after that game. the manager whingeing about refs, players wanting to go the stink in England camp, Aguero missing a god darn ****ing sitter from 3 yards.

actually just on that, agueros miss wasnt poor technique, it wasnt a bad deflection or good save, he seriously had a ****ing demon get into him at the pivotal moment. even the commentator said "any other ground, he scores". i dont think ive ever seen him just completely get it wrong like that before. he is legit haunted going to that ground.
also, Pep all last year knew he was going to mow down that lead. this year he is a completely different bloke.

im actually not saying Liverpool are gonna win it, but their Champions League win has completely changed their mindset. they are the bullies now, not City. and other than maybe Fergie i dont know of a better bloke id want in charge of a bunch of bullies than Klopp.

I’m really worried that Ryan will have a top game, and his link with mooy will be very valuable. Especially without Fabinho I expect Mooy will cause havoc and be on channel 7 tomorrow morning as the golden boy of our 2026 World Cup campaign. MooyDonalds will be offering BigMooys for $1 in an effort to book his seat on the flight.

Liverpool need to sign players with narrower torsos to avoid these armpit outside calls

The fact they even looked at Mo's back heel 2nd confirms Martin Atkinson had a hand in VAR calls last night...even if only on the hooter to his twat mates doing it. The whole premis around offside lies in gaining advantage. If they're going to start looking at the widths of pubic hairs for that, maybe it needs to be on the body part that scores the goal - was 'IT' gaining advantage when the ball was kicked? Or was it in line or onside?
About 20 of us were sitting at Pests with Mané's header looking at the lines and are still struggling to fathom why it wasn't allowed. Personally I was expecting Mo's 2nd to be scrubbed too because I couldn't see a difference with the lines drawn between the 2 goals.

They couldn't play the same players in both games because players have to have down time in between games. It's in their contracts. So Liverpool could have split the squad and played poorly in both or basically forfeit a comp that Klopp said he doesn't care about and they'll go and look good at the other one and make bank.

As a fan, I have zero problem with what’s happened. I don’t think anybody has a problem with it apart from those that probs saw Liverpool as underdogs and thought it was a typo and expected to cash in.

Robertson won that war of words.

Don’t know if City win was a good thing or not. Gives us a buffer I guess.
Some very big games coming up over the next few weeks.

[Retro Jet]

That ref had a shocker, didn't he what? Went both ways though.
Apparently his international CV reads: VAR Assistant official at last World Cup & 4 x Asian Cup games.
Deer in headlights. And from all reports, it was a Spanish official who fed him the VAR views of the clip from behind on Mane.
Clip fom behind obvious withh the back view shot but no such shot on view for VAR. I reckon the touch was outside the box but he's last man sorry. Arse card...
Deer in headlights decision before VAR? Pen and a yellow to helmet head/Petr Čech imposter. After VAR review? Drop ball to the cramp fakin' keeper.

ROTF to see said 'helmet head' watch the ball fly into the net as last defender. Grub was all over Mane like a rash b4 Mane got the card for telling him to fk right off with the nipple cripples.

Another injury(Ox). At this rate, Elliott can get those boots shined and that hair styled a bit better....or just shave the lot off son!

Agreed. I liked the way he held Mo up. Showed him right and backed himself to not get burnt. Mo obliged an cut back as he always does. Predictable. Guy did his homework.

Unlucky with the pen. His momentum towards the ball probably does him in the end.

TAA. What a player. Remember one of his first games and he legit looked like a child and 50kgs of bone and I thought it was another Pedro chiravella. He earns that goal. s soon as they get possession he goes, and sprints and doesn’t stop until he’s in the corner celebrating.

You can't win if you don't have the ball and Liverpool completely stifled them. The accurate passing game was back. Mo still doing my head in with some of his decision making. His back tracking is good...as it is with all the front 3. Minamino's presence will give him a good shake up.
Hope Hendo is ok. Just looked like raked studs on the shin. He's been immense last few games in particular (CWC). Engine room.

Get them legs massaged lads. The Wolves are coming...all too soon.

[redwah]

Bloody VAR handing Liverpool that one.......

[Jeterpool]

Excellent win this morning. The team could have had it done and dusted early. A rampant 10 minutes later and it was over. They didn't give Leicester a shout.

On to Wolves now.

[Bremsstrahlung]

Wolves unlucky not to get a point. I’d feel aggrieved with their goal being disallowed for offside.
Though, we have had a closer one or two disallowed for the same thing.

Though Liverpool had to work hard for that but played better for me in a scrappy game. Deserved 1 or 3 points overall imo. Draw would’ve been fair.


VAR had a huge effect on this game. But it was interesting to see live how volatile the crowd was on both sides.
First VAR: wolves supporters chanting “this isn’t football anymore” to applause from Liverpool supporters. Sure we celebrated a goal, as we should have been able to do in the first instance. No problem with this one.

The dissent from players. The dissent from players and coaches surrounding VAR is an absolute joke. Warranted as their frustrations are high. But how can you not card 1 of the 10 players screaming at you. Common sense prevails though.

The emotion when wolves “scored” and the player celebrated. Literally could hear a pin drop and as a LFC fan the celebration had its desired effect. And if not overturned, I think the crowd would have really responded and booed him every. Great celebration. And VAR did ruin this moment.

To be fair, Liverpool never argued the second. They picked the ball up and went to halfway and were waiting for them to finish celebrating to kick off.

Overall a draw maybe a fair result given the circumstances. But I think VAR actually spurred a tired wolves on with more determination and anger. They were a far more difficult team post VAR interventions.
Resting Jimenez, Traore, Doherty etc they didn’t expect to win this or come close imo.

[furns]

Wolves gave us one of the best defensive performances from an opposing team we've faced so far. Would have settled for a draw. Stoked with the win though.

But agree that if we lose it from here, we will be the laughing stock and the next Liverpool team to win it will have a massive monkey on their back.

Also don’t think it’s tarnished at all. We’ve had VAR against us, and some decisions for us. Same as if referee decisions throughout the course of a game favour a team. Like Man City whole game plan in 18/19 was the foul early in the oppositions counter attack and kept avoiding yellow cards.
I don’t think many people can realistically dispute that we have been one of the best teams in the world over the last 18-24 months.

Neither of the greatest Premier league sides of all time got 100 points (92 and 91 from my quick check). Not sure who that's in reference too...

I reckon even if you win it this season you'll still be behind this city squad overall (win another one or two and you'll take them) and obviously behind Fergie's best, the invincibles and Mou's first Chelsea team. Maybe even behind Leicester since City didn't put up much of a fight this season.

The UCL well obviously be a challenge but FFS you have to be one of the favourites

The EPL is more or less in the bag the way there going now

[Bremsstrahlung]

We don’t have a great squad at the moment.

Alisson obviously starts any big game, but then what? Adrian was very lucky in our early games.

Alexander Arnold, Gomez, VVD and Robertson. Matip, Lovren injured. We recalled a loanee for additional coverage cause one more injury and Milner/Henderson will be at the back.

Henderson, wijnaldun, Milner. We have Lallana as backup atm. Fabinho, Oxlade-Chamberlain, keita all out.

mane, Firmino, Salah obvious. And Origi our sub.


As a starting 11 we are okay. But we are really lacking quality in our bench with these injuries atm.
Lallana, Origi, Nathaniel Phillips, Curtis Jones, Harvey Elliot, neco Williams was our bench.


We need to be saving our key players from unnecessary games atm. Just squad management. Another injury to a first team player puts us in a pickle and affects EPL and UCL.
I’ve no problem with us putting in second string teams at the moment.

If we were full strength with no injuries then sure, challenge all fronts, but we need to conserve atm

You are defending UCL Champions and leading the EPL in a canter

There ain't much wrong with your squad is there??

[boz-monaut]

but the issue relates to the way modern football has moved away from the big squad with constant rotation to a more settled best eleven

Jonathan Wilson's article where he attempted to jinx it (https://www.theguardian.com/football/2019/dec/28/will-anything-now-derail-liverpool-premier-league-title-bid) has this great quote
'That is one of the unusual aspects of this Liverpool (and also true of this Manchester City): while there are a few options in midfield, they do essentially have a first team in a way that had largely gone out of fashion over the past couple of decades. There are clear advantages to that in terms of cohesiveness, both defensive and attacking, but it does make the potential impact of an injury greater.

That may in part explain why both Klopp and Pep Guardiola have been so vociferous in their complaints about the festive programme: the consequences of a key injury for them are probably greater than they have been for previous title challengers.

[Retro Jet]

My gut feeling having watched Klopp in the post Sheffield and pre Everton pressers is he's been given the all clear from FSG to do what ever it takes to
win the EPL. If he can get further in the Cup at these stages with a makeshift crew(s), then good luck to him but there's no pressure there with the FA Cup.
Who knows what's waiting in the wings from Nike or any potential sponsors come May and Liverpool is on top.

[Bremsstrahlung]

You are defending UCL Champions and leading the EPL in a canter

On paper, if all are fit, no.

However, as pointed out, we have a lot of injuries and ,as boz posted, another injury to one of those first teamers is a real danger for us.


Jinxed it as Milner’s picked up a hamstring issue.
So that’s another out of midfield.

[Bremsstrahlung]

Wow, Everton were dreadful.
Young kids did well, some of their crisp passing and flair in that last 20 was great to watch.

Gomez, Lallana and Origi the sensible heads.

[boz-monaut]

avoiding a replay fixture is probably the best thing to come out of that result

that and how well the younglings seem to be progressing

[Retro Jet]

I got up to watch this and glad I did. I was motivated by wanting to see Minamino on his debut. He didn't really see much ball.
Another cm closer to that header and he could have done a VVD and scored on debut v the Toffees. 70 valuable minutes to bed him in at least.

Whatever they're putting in the water in Melwood is worth bottling. The kids are alright. Curtis Jones? Take a bow son.
Check him out in the leadup before he scores with the 'give me the ball' hands. Origi gets Everton again with the assist.

You could almost hear the collective groan around Anfield when Milner went down shaking his head.
Really, Everton should have had this sewn up in the 1st half but for some great saves from Adrian.
They did ping them straight at him though.
There were times in the 2nd half when the camera panned to Ancelotti chewing his gum.
You could see him thinking "What sort of a sh!t show have I inherited here?"

Good to see the Ox back and firing, given Milners injury. Just hope the rest are on his tail with their returns.

Wonder what we'll get thrown at us Rnd 4? Bring on Derby County??

[Bremsstrahlung]

I remember seeing Rooney score his first EPL goal when playing for Everton.

Had similar feels seeing Curtis Jones'.

I'm with Roy Keane here, that's never a foul on the keeper for me. VVD only has eyes on the ball and if anything it's De Gea that brings the situation into question as his challenge creates the issue - I don't see how it's fair to say De Gea was blocked from challenging for the ball when it's actually VVD that isn't allowed to challenge it there. And De Gea has full sight of VVD, not the other way around. I'll never agree that instance is a foul. I understand in world football that instance has almost always been called a foul, but I have just never seen it.

Someone never played in goals.

VVD jumps towards De Gea knowing full well where he is, after checking his position before leaping. It's a foul.

Also, the fact that Keane thinks it's not a foul is even more proof it was. Whenever it comes to ref calls he turns into a Paul Merson level idiot.

There not wrong though. Unless is a big rivalry or a big UCL match Anfield is like a library. Unfortunately all the top 6 have this problem

[Jeterpool]

The VVD/DeGea incident was interesting. I was watching the post-game discussions and Dermott Gallagher was brought in and essentially said:
It should have been called a free-kick before the goal went in.
There was precedent with a decision that went the same way between Tim Krul and someone else (who escapes me at the moment) and the outcomes were consistent.
Another one was shown where it De Gea was impeded and the goal was given however on that occasion he tried to PUNCH it clear, as opposed to catching it, and simply missed it completely.


I don't have a problem with the call. As Retro said, 50/50.

Another win because of VAR.

Did they show any VAR footage of Jimenez pass to Traore? I’d love to see how close that was.
Wolves look so dangerous. They exploited our high line really well off set pieces and general play.

[Jetmaster]

Why did they even question Henderson's goal?

[Frodo]

Why did they even question Henderson's goal?

It was to check it went in off his shoulder and not his arm. It clearly went in off his shoulder, don't know why they even needed to check.

No VAR troubles this game. Wolves probably fluffed the same number of good chances as Pool. I think Liverpool were still a little lucky to get all 3 points given the way Wolves got at them tho.

[Retro Jet]

Yeah...that was a real WTF moment. Maybe they thought ears aren't allowed to score? Armpits obviously aren't.
Justifying their existence when you see shiz like that being pulled up for a gander.

[boz-monaut]

is it perhaps bad to think that it would have been preferable to have been ahead by one point at the end of sixteen seasons, than ahead by sixteen points at the end of one season?

[Skirt Boy]

Is it just me or are the Scouse bigger cunce than those blowins from Woolwich?

Especially when they win a lot.

[boz-monaut]

it's just you

[MFKS]

Yep

They even talking about an impending era of dominance when they ain't even won it once yet


At the moment they playing well their luck is in and VAR is helping them. It ain't really gonna get much better for them than now

You are jokin right????

Last week after we beat the mancs was probably the first time any fan actually said out loud we’d win this years league.

We are doing enough to win games, yeah we’ve had some luck but the VAR talk is rubbish...as for getting better...who can tell honestly....only Klopp and his team know who they may try buy and who they may move and once those things happen then improvement may come, it may not

[Bremsstrahlung]

Hahaha it makes me laugh at everyone that calls Liverpool fans plastic.

What motivation have we had over the last what, 30 years to support this club?

[StannyCFCJET]

It's cause you gained alot of fans in the 80s and 90s based off the fact you guys were the ones winning stuff during the 80s and those people are grown up and can't give a reason besides liverpool being successful for an excuse to them following the club

[boz-monaut]

and you started supporting Chelsea before they were bought by a corrupt oligarch?

[StannyCFCJET]

and you started supporting Chelsea before they were bought by a corrupt oligarch?

Yep, Zola and that late 90s team is why I support Chelsea. Loved their style of play and thought Zola was the best footballer i'd ever seen.

[redwah]

and you started supporting Chelsea before they were bought by a corrupt oligarch?

Maybe he was born in Chelsea in 1991......just like football was

Craig Johnston.

[StannyCFCJET]

Craig Johnston.

Thats a fair reason. I wasnt alive back then was his times in Liverpool covered much in Australia?

[Bremsstrahlung]

When I was over there, every Scouse I spoke to heard the accent and spoke about Craig Johnston.

And yeh, I get they had a successful pre-EPL, but wouldn’t all the “plastic fans” have dried up over the barren 30 year drought, and left the people that genuinely support the club?
If your plastic, probably don’t support a club that hasn’t won a domestic title in 30 years.

[MFKS]

Hahaha it makes me laugh at everyone that calls Liverpool fans plastic.

What motivation have we had over the last what, 30 years to support this club?

Ok I will pay the ones who are born raised or actually live in Liverpool as not being plastic

For all the other millions on the planet I will call them plastic because they are

The VAR talk ain't rubbish

You got a Sydney FC like Horseshoe up your rear end this season

And you have a peanut size brain in your skull....VAR hasn’t handed Liverpool a 16pt lead.

Isn’t that basically every foreign fans reason?

I started following Newcastle because they were in the Keegan era when I started following football.

[StannyCFCJET]

We're Newcastle winning everything then?

[MFKS]

It not the entire 16 points but it still quite a chunk of those 16 points

[Frodo]

Wait, is there a Chelsea fan calling another teams supporter's Plastic?

[Aegon]

We're Newcastle winning everything then?

Nope, but they were awesome to watch every single game they played. Weren’t called the entertainers for nothing!

[redwah]

Yeah it was part of his introduction pack

I'm not calling them plastic. I'm calling them cunce.

[boz-monaut]

we all should respect Spurs fans because one thing is for certain that they never joined that bandwagon during any glory days

Who else has scruples and supports a side outside the Plastic 6?

[Jeterpool]

I support the jets

[MFKS]

I support the Jets and no one else

How anyone can have any serious interest in a side 12000 miles from home defies logic to me

[boz-monaut]

yes but you think climate change and the moon landing are hoaxes so it's not like you can see rhyme from reason

[StannyCFCJET]

For someone who only supports the Jets you have alot of opinions of English teams and their fans

This was a pretty entertaining night...

Faustino Asprilla...what a legend. Heard he was once spotted naked in the stands when he was suspended for a game.
Could be an urban myth tho...

[Bremsstrahlung]

Don’t forget the sky god who by logic is more than 12,000 miles away.

The question should be, why wouldn’t someone be interested in teams playing in the best football leagues in the world ?

[Bremsstrahlung]

Ffs, how are we supposed to progress in the FA Cup if there’s no VAR?
Thankfully next games at Anfield.

[Jetmaster]

VAR wasn't missed.

Win/win....Shrewsbury get a game at Anfield and a big cash boost. Tourists can get easy tix and your reserves get another run at home.

[MFKS]

yes but you think climate change and the moon landing are hoaxes so it's not like you can see rhyme from reason
Don't misquote me

Climate Change doesn't exist so it can't be a hoax because it ain't been passed off as fact yet

Man hasn't landed on the moon as we can't make it there so that one is a hoax I suppose

[boz-monaut]

as they say, you don't win anything with kids

this should quieten a few mouthy prats

[Jetmaster]

BBC not just referring to LiVARpool but calling them the "LiVARpool Kids"...

I haven't seen the call so don't know how close it was. Good point though that you don't have a fair playing field if VAR is used at some grounds and not others.

[Frodo]

Firstly, don't forget that Harvey Elliott himself cost more than the entire Shrewsbury squad combined. I think all up the team you put out is worth about 3 and a bit times the Shrewsbury squad. Shrewsbury were the underdogs here, not the other way around.


Secondly, the funniest part of this result is that Klopp now has more games to play. All the fans are happy they won, but that salty prick is gonna be unhappy by it. This is a bigger win for everyone mocking Liverpool than it is for you guys.

Thirdly, the VAR call was correct but it was a fair bit before the actual goal, hence the confusion. Although the fact that there was no VAR in the first game but there was this game is terrible. There's no way that can be fair for anybody.

The OG was fairly comical too. Go find it if you want to cringe at the poor bloke who headed it in from about 20 yards out.

[Frodo]

as they say, you don't win anything with kids

The disrespect of Klopp not even bothering to show up hasn't changed at all. He deserves all the hate he is getting for mocking the FA cup by his absence. This result just gives everyone another game to mock his attitude towards the cup even more.

No one really cared about playing the kids, it's a league one team, your U23s should be good enough to give them a game. It was the Klopp thing that got everyone riled up.

Sorry, you'll have to deal with this for a bit longer.

FA cup used to mean something. The new style if Manager (Klopp, Pep ETC) treat it like a joke which is disgusting

[boz-monaut]

Klopp is showing respect for the welfare of his players

which should be applauded

any other argument about disrespecting the FA Cup is reactionary nonsense

JEALOUSY

Sums up the arsenal and chelsea fans.
both clubs had there glory days but when a much deserved club is now finally reaping the rewards the hatred comes in..

[boz-monaut]

to steal a comment on another site

"Liverpool FC give youth players an opportunity to play at a senior level and reduce ticket prices for match goers....and get nothing but criticism.

Seems like Liverpool are the only club keeping the magic of the FA Cup alive."
