You go to Molineux in a few weeks time - now that will be tough.
BTW - can we change the title of this thread to L-I-V-A-R-P-Double O-L Livarpool FC?
:wink::lol:

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.
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.
And can we f*ck of with this LiVARpool rubbish, its screwing with everyone.
Nope. I've already been into Bon reminding him that the only reason you're going to win the league is because of VAR. You'll still be battered with "you couldn't win the league without the help of VAR" for many years to come... Even Leicester could do it pre VAR.... You're accomplishments mean nothing... Lol.
Been choking before Klopp.
No reason for him to get the sack.
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.
Legitimate question here. When has VAR gone against you this year? I can't remember a single incorrect or 50-50 call that's not gone your way this season. Or do you just mean that VAR intervened correctly to overturn a decision but the decision was not in your favour?
I posted this eleswhere but have a look at the table at the end - they have had two against them, both offsides I think.

To clarify those two, there's Bobby's armpit v Villa and Mane's header v Watford.
Andy Gray on the armpit.

And take Note: Martin Atkinson drew the lines...the salty old ***t :rof:
When opposition fans blow up at shiz like this, you know it stinks.

FFS......get rid of the VAR then...this team is playing at an insane level...13pts clear with a game in hand, no defeats in 364 days in the league, 51 games at home without a defeat, 11yrs at home without a lose when leading at half time....on track to go past the 100 pt record season that the “greatest premier league team ever” put up and to surpass that same teams 198pts over 2 seasons.
If it’s VAR bossing the league this season for Liverpool then sign the ****er up for life.
Look at these cryhards trying to even associate Liverpools performances on the VAR. Talk about whinging assholes.
Go back to your teams threads with a tissue already
You've got 3 posts on this here forum and you're already going round calling people names. Well played son. Lol.
Also, by big babies do you mean larger sized babies (I.e. chubby bubbies) or do you mean those weird new age families where the 4 yr old still breast feeds?? Cause I'd like to understand this one further...
Back to football fellas, just be thankful you aren't coming up against the obvious best team in world football right now who are currently reinventing the modern game in the North of London with the greatest coach to ever set foot in an EPL dugout. You've got a 31 point lead, but you better start worrying about us. We are coming for the title this year..
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.
I'm not all that fussed about the FA Cup to be honest
still don't want to lose to Everton though
first priority should be the premier league, second priority should be getting adequate rest for the premier league, third priority should be retaining the champions league
Pffft....FA Cup died as soon as old Wembley closed and the 3pm/midnight Oz kickoff stopped.
I support a lower club and don't care if we get knocked out tbh.
You got an elite squad of players who won the UCL last season and were pretty stiff to not win the League
Exactly why is the treble out of the question ??
You only got win 6 games to win the FA Cup all against inferior opponents
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
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
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 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.
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.
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.
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
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??
I remember seeing Rooney score his first EPL goal when playing for Everton.
Had similar feels seeing Curtis Jones'.
Liverpool reserve squad, with some Under 23 players beat Everton's first choice XI. The end.
the kids get a visit to Shropshire or Bristol in the FA Cup fourth round
the end of January is going to be congested with the West Ham catch up game - it's good that it's not another Premier League team
