Is there no limit to the resolve of this team? While the rest of the traditional "Big Six" are finding new and more amusing ways to lose games, our lads are just digging deep and pulling wins out of the fire and overcoming whatever setbacks they face.

 

The scoreline might have been close but the game really wasn't. We won't face many better teams than Leicester this season but in terms of how difficult the game was we had far more trouble with Sheffield United last week. That's a measure of how well we played in this one.

 

The first half was really good but we didn’t have the goals to show for what was a dominant effort. Defensively it was almost a flawless display in the opening 45. Leicester didn’t have a sniff. They like to play more of a possession game these days but that’s difficult to do when you don’t have the ball! They still have it in them to play on the break using Maddison’s vision and Vardy’s pace, but we snuffed out any of those opportunities too.

 

Our two centre backs were outstanding. We expect that from Van Dijk of course, but Lovren was a surprise inclusion and had the more difficult task because Vardy was always going to try and pull onto him rather than Virgil. Klopp said afterwards that he’s never seen a team defend Vardy as well as this.

The key to defending Vardy is to not have to defend him. Don’t let them get the ball into the spaces he exploits. For the most part we did that brilliantly, but on the couple of occasions he did get something to run onto Lovren was up to the challenge. 

 

I thought Leicester defended really well too though, especially Soyuncu. He didn’t do anything spectacular but he just always seemed to be in the right place to snuff out potential danger. He read the game well and any time we tried to get in down the right he was across on the cover. Selling Maguire for £80m without weakening the side is a great bit of business. Maybe United should have bought this lad instead.

 

He will have been expecting to come up against Salah but for some reason Klopp switched his front three around and none of them were in their usual positions. Mané started on the right, Firmino left and Salah through the middle.

 

Initially I thought maybe Klopp wanted Mo’s speed through the middle. On reflection I think he wanted to restrict the threat of their full backs by using Bobby wide. It worked a treat defensively, typified by Sadio frequently getting back and stopping Chilwell getting crosses in on several occasions.

 

It did take a little away from us in attack though and for me it’s not a co-incidence that when we finally made the breakthrough it came in a brief spell when they all went back to their usual positions. That’s not to say we didn’t create anything prior to that, because we did. 

 

Milner missed the target with a couple of very presentable chances (one following some brilliant play by Trent) and Bobby just couldn’t get enough on another top drawer delivery by Trent. We also had a good penalty shout I thought when Van Dijk looked like he was shoved in the back while in mid-air attacking a corner. There was a big shout but the ref gave nothing, and VAR doesn’t over-rule refs. I haven’t even seen a replay of it, it’s just what I thought at the time and I might be wrong.

 

Our goal was a work of art though. It started with keeper and as Leicester tried to press we just played our way through it. Milner’s movement was great, moving into space and making angles for the pass. The whole thing looked like a rehearsed move that they’ve worked on time and again in training. 

 

Milner knew where Mané was but finding him wasn’t going to be easy. The window to make that pass was tiny and not only did it need to be inch perfect, it needed to played at the right pace too. I don’t actually think there is anything that Johnny Evans can do to prevent that. He was in a good position but the pass was too good and once it was past him it was game over.

 

Sadio never looked like he was missing that did he? He was in total control of that situation at all times and took it in stride before rolling it into the corner. Brilliant goal but from Leicester’s point of view I don’t think there’s a thing they could have done to prevent that, other than not try and press us to begin with.

 

Mané went close to another soon after when Bobby picked him out in the box but his his first time shot was saved by Schmeichel. A one goal half time lead was the very least we deserved on the balance of play, but you always need that second goal no matter who you’re playing. Leicester had done nothing at all but with Vardy on the pitch you can never relax, and they’ve got other dangerous players too, like Tielemans and Maddison.

 

We’d kept them all quiet but they were always going to have a spell so it was vital we got the second goal to give us that cushion. We had our chances but it didn’t come.

 

Salah had an effort saved by Schmeichel (although VAR would have given him offside) and Mané hit the side netting after showing incredible speed over a few yards to reach a mis-hit pass by Salah. Bobby then shot inches wide after a great turn. At this stage we were still well in control.

The game then began to open up a bit and we were looking leggy. This tends to happen to us quite a bit. I wouldn’t say we burn ourselves out exactly, because we always finish strong, but there often seems to be a natural lull in our tempo and when it happens the opposition seem to be able to find space in midfield. I don’t specifically blame the midfielders for it, I think it’s just a natural result of how we play and the great demands placed on them. 

 

Milner and Wijnaldum (or whoever happens to be playing there) are almost playing two positions, as they have to play centre mid as well as shuffling across to help out in wide areas. We saw it the other night when Salzburg started to get space and were able to take advantage of it, and it happened again here with Leicester. 

 

Several of our players looked leggy, tired passes began to creep in and we were giving Leicester the kind of possession they hadn’t had all game. Trent, Gini, Fabinho and Bobby all looked tired to me and Leicester began to claw their way back into the game.

 

Vardy went clean through but Adrian did well to deny him. I thought he was well offside at the time but having seen the replays it was close. I still think he may have been fractionally off but thankfully it wasn’t put to the VAR test because Adrian denied him.

 

Robbo then went haring through onto a pass by Salah and hammered a shot that was beaten away by Schmeichel. Mo was pissed off that he didn’t get a return pass but Robbo had little choice but to go on his own there as everyone else was behind him and he couldn’t see them.

 

Praett lashed a shot inches wide from 25 yards before he was replaced by that loser Ayoze Perez. Long time readers know how much disdain I have for that giraffe necked fuck, and every time we face him I fear that all my jibes against him are going to come back to haunt me. I was convinced that if Leicester were going to score it would be that fucking bum who got it.

 

He didn’t score but he did play the pass from which Maddison equalised. I’ve seen people blaming Lovren for that goal, saying he dropped deep and played Maddison onside. He was deeper than everyone else but Maddison would have been onside regardless as he ran off the back of Virgil.

 

It looked to me that Adrian should have saved it but there’s a good chance that ball nicked off Lovren. I’ve watched it over and over and it’s difficult to tell, but Adrian has his hand stretched to his right and the ball ends up going closer to his body, which is where it would have gone if it had hit Lovren. So I’m not blaming Adrian for that one as I suspect the deflection was the reason it beat him.

 

It was a sickener though with only ten minutes left. When Leicester equalised my first thought was “we’ve got ten minutes to win it”. Then it hit me. “Shit, what if they score again?”. A draw wouldn’t have been the end of the world because at this moment in time Leicester are either the third or (probably) fourth best team in the league. But because they’re Leicester and not Tottenham, Chelsea, Man United etc it doesn’t really feel like that does it? 

 

In reality dropping points to them wouldn’t have been as bad as it would have felt. I was almost talking myself into that and thinking I’d take the draw rather than risk losing. Thankfully the players don’t think like that. Just like the other night against Salzburg, they went out and won the game for a second time. 

 

People can talk about the lucky late penalty all they like, but in that last ten minutes there was only one team pushing for a winner. Lovren should have done better with a header from a corner and Virgil then missed an even better chance from another one. We were piling forward and putting pressure on, and eventually it paid off.

 

I'd say justice was served, because some of Leicester's cynical fouling to prevent us getting in behind deserved heavy punishment. Salah was forced off the field after a shocking tackle by Choudhery. That lunge ended what looked like it could have been a dangerous attack as Mo was racing towards the box with players up in support. He’d been cynically held back right on the edge of the box not long before that too (by Soyuncu I think). Both potential goalscoring opportunities, but not clear enough for red cards. 

 

The Choudhery one may have been worthy of a red just for the severity of the challenge. I thought so at the time and Klopp was legitimately fucking fuming about it afterwards. Having seen the replay I don’t think it was as malicious as it looked on first viewing. He wanted to foul him to stop the attack but he didn’t get him with his studs like I initially thought. It was actually his thigh that crashed into Mo’s ankle.

 

If it had been a red he could have had no complaints but it’s one of those that are worse than a standard yellow but maybe not quite bad enough for a red. Morally it probably deserved one because there was no intent to play the ball, I’m just saying it wasn’t as wild a challenge as I first thought.

 

So Mo limped off in stoppage time, replaced by Lallana, and it felt like we’d missed our opportunity when Virgil missed the target with that header. Klopp had also brought on Origi and Henderson for Firmino and Wijnaldum, and it was Origi who initially contributed to the winning penalty by lobbing the ball over a defender’s head and then driving towards the box.

 

It was all looking so promising for him but then he froze when he got there and didn’t seem to know what to do. Clearly he didn’t want to shoot from 18 yards with his left foot so he hesitated, allowing a defender to get back and nick it off him.

 

Mané is so alert and so fast though that he arrived not he scene in a flash and caused confusion between Schmeichel and the defenders. He nicked the ball, Albrighton kicked his standing foot and he went down.

 

The ref (who’d given us fuck all prior to that) pointed to the spot and although I had no clue from where I was sat whether it was a foul or not, I was confident it wouldn’t be overturned because they never are. If the ref hadn’t given it, there’s not a chance in hell VAR would have told him he was wrong.

 

There was an element of fortune about it as it was a soft penalty and it was virtually the last kick of the game. A soft penalty is still a penalty though. Mané definitely milked it for all it was worth, but is there a striker out there who wouldn’t have done that in the same situation? He was kicked on the ankle, in the box, deep into stoppage time in a game of massive importance (let’s face it, they all are these days). Of course he’s going to go down, I’d have been livid with him if he hadn’t.

 

Of course it caused uproar around the country, but fuck everyone who isn’t us. We see incidents like this every single week and fuck all gets said. As soon as it’s one of our players we never hear the end of it. Last season City had several pens as soft as, or softer than this one, and nobody other than us gave a fuck about it.

 

Any time Salah gets one though it’s the sole topic of conversation on Talksport and Sky Sports News for the next week. I fully expect Adrian Durham’s afternoon show today to be all about whether Mané dived or not. Albrighton kicked him on the ankle. If he doesn’t do that, Mané can’t go down without it being a dive and a yellow card.

 

The kick wasn’t enough to put Mané on the ground but it may have been enough to put him off his stride for a second and impede what he wanted to do with the ball. If you don’t go down you don’t get pens, so while it’s not something any of us really like to us, it’s a necessary evil. 

 

Besides, anyone crying over this shit needs to realise that we lost the league by one point last year, and the blatant penalty we weren’t given against these same opponents could have made all the difference. So if this decision helps us win the title this season then it’s karma restoring balance.

 

Milner did what Milner does, keeping a cool head while everyone else was shitting their pants. He’s a fucking giant of a man and when it’s all said and done he’ll be remembered as a Liverpool great. I honestly don’t know why he hasn’t been rewarded with a new contract as that should have been forthcoming as soon as last season ended. Just fucking get it done, no-one has ever been more deserving of a contract extension than this fella.

 

It’s not just his performances, it’s everything about him. He’s just a huge asset to the club in every conceivable way. Look at what happened at full time when that Ayoze Perez loser went for Robbo. Who was first there with his hand around that big giraffe neck? Milner, of course. Not that Robbo needs looking after, not against Perez anyway. 

 

leicesterreport1c.jpg

 

I’m not sure exactly what caused it but I saw how it unfolded on the final whistle as I was looking right at it. You’ll have seen the video anyway so nothing I’m saying here is new, but Robbo just brushed past him and gave him the faintest of nudges in the ribs. Perez then lost his head and shoved Robbo in the back.

 

After that loads of other players got involved, mainly just trying to operate Robbo and Perez rather than kicking off themselves, and it looked like Perez was telling Robbo he’d see him in the tunnel. We’ll never get to see what happened there, but LFCTV do have cameras back there and it will be interesting to see what footage they do show when “Inside Anfield” comes out this week.

 

There has been some suggestion that Perez taunted Robbo when Leicester equalised and that’s why Robbo gave him that little nudge and maybe said something as he walked past. I don’t know, but I do know that if Robbo is prepared to give it out to Suarez and Messi then he’s not going to take any shit from a bum like Perez.

 

It was funny seeing Lallana bouncing around like he was in a pinball machine after the pen too. He was just following in for a possible rebound and the ball came out of the net and just landed in his midriff. He wasn’t trying to delay the restart but Leicester’s players all started shoving him and he was just getting knocked from one to another.

 

The relief we all felt at the final whistle was massive. It feels like we’re on an unstoppable roll right now and it’s clearly pissing people off. The reaction to what we’re doing is great. So much fume out there, not just from City but from all over the place.

 

When a team gets a pen like that so late in the game you can’t blame people for calling them lucky though, so I do get it. I mean fucking hell, for years I was clutching that straw with Ferguson’s United and all of their late winners. It was even coined “Fergie time” because they did it that often. There is some luck, but it’s mostly just belief and sheer force of will, combined with the opposition having a feeling of the inevitable. We’re getting that now.

 

Based purely on the penalty incident and the last gasp nature of it we were lucky, but it doesn’t tell the whole story. It was a well deserved win, because not only did the players pick themselves up after conceding a late equaliser, they had completely dominated the game.

 

Leicester had two chances and as I said I suspect one of those wouldn’t have passed the VAR test anyway. The other one they scored from. Other than that we shut them down completely, while still creating loads of chances at the other end. This was a really good performance and when you win 17 games on the bounce any calls about being lucky can be laughed off. 

 

It’s impossible to win that many games on the spin without getting a bit of fortune along the way but most of the time we’ve made our own luck. These lads just won’t accept anything other than winning and they never give up, no matter what the circumstances are. Our league record since the beginning of last season almost defies belief. It’s fucking incredible.

 

Klopp was gushing in his praise for the performance yet I don’t think most people seem to see it that way. All the talk is about being ‘lucky’ rather than how much we dominated the game. It’s probably because Klopp rates Leicester a lot more highly than everyone else does. We’ll see at the end of the season if he’s right or not, but regardless of how good Leicester are or aren’t this is still a massive result, especially in light of what happened at the Etihad the next day.

 

Eight points ahead now. Eight fucking points. In the past that was nothing, especially at this stage of the season. Hell, it wasn’t even that much at Easter. Chasing teams overhauled leads like that all the time but that was when Champions could lose five or six games a season. The bar has been raised by City and now us. If, and it’s still a big IF, we continue at the pace we’ve been on then City are probably going to have to win 28 of their last 30 if they’re going to catch us.

 

That’s a tall order, even for them, but it all depends on whether we can keep it going. There’s a lot of things that can happen between now and May so despite some of the shit I keep reading about “Liverpool fans think they’ve won the title already”, I’m taking nothing for granted and I can honestly say I’ve yet to see any Red who is. It’s a myth, just like that “Liverpool fans always think this is their year”.

 

Without getting carried away, it’s clear that we’re in a great position and that the next month or so could be pivotal as there is an opportunity to completely leave City behind. We’ve got tough games on paper with a trip to Old Trafford and home games against Spurs and City. It’s possible that eight point gap could shrink, but if we keep winning it will grow to at least 11 with a home win over City. 

 

They look vulnerable at the moment and might drop more points, but that won’t last and we have to be prepared for them to go on one of their customary winning runs. If we keep doing what we’re doing then we’ll be fine, but one game at a time and all that.

 

Star man is Sadio. He’s relentless and seems to be involved in everything we do at the moment. Scoring goals, making them, winning penalties… hell he’s even back defending and making crunching tackles. He’s been our best player so far this season.

 

As for the rest, Milner was great too while big Dejan deserves massive credit for how he played. It’s not easy coming in without any rhythm, we saw that with Gomez the other night, and Vardy is the last striker you want to face when you’ve got a bit of ring rust to shake off. No doubt there were a lot of fans fearing the worst and sharpening the knives, but Lovren was outstanding and I’m made up for him.

 

The international break comes at a bad time for us as we’re flying have all the momentum with us. On the plus side though the week off gives Mo some more time to heal after his injury and it gives Alisson more time to get ready for a return. Presumably he’ll go straight back in at Old Trafford, but who plays centre back though? 

 

If Matip is fully fit then he should play but if there’s any doubt about him then Klopp has a decision to make. It won’t be a popular shout but based on performance it should probably be Lovren. Hopefully Joel is back though because other than Virgil he might be the best centre back in the league right now. 

 

It’s a nice problem when you’re worrying about who you have to leave out rather than who you have to pick though. Up the table topping, 100% record Reds!

 

 

Team: Adrian; Alexander-Arnold, Lovren, Van Dijk, Robertson; Fabinho, Wijnaldum (Henderson), Milner; Mané, Salah (Lallana), Firmino (Origi):

We win, citeh lose, the shite lose, bitters lose and drop into the relegation zone. Is that a royal flush?

 

I love that about always thinking this is our year. Ohhhhh riiiiiiight. Sat next to a guy who turned out to be a Newcastle fan on the train today. Thanked him profusely for yesterday's wonderful result, commisserated with him over shitty owners and then he said "you've got it wrapped up already" (at least that's what I think he said; it might actually have been something about when the boat comes in, but I wasn't about to quibble). Aaaaanyway, I told him in very clear queen's english (no, please don't) that I doubted any of us would dare to presume such a thing. We've been there once or twice too often over the past few decades eh?

There's talk that Pep's missus and kid have moved back to Barcelona. There's people discussing that he only ever has three good seasons. There's City fans talking about just concentrating on the Champions League - if we can just carry on turning the screw for the next month they could almost give up!

 

Long, long way to go, but so far, so good!

 

Nice to see Harvey Elliott on the bench. He's very young, but I feel like he'll have a role to play this season!

I used to hate the international breaks but (ignoring the injury risk) maybe they'll benefit us because they must be a bit of a relief to the players from the pressure of having to win every fucking game.

Spot on. I've seen some weird reports on this game, mainly fuelled by the penalty and 'Luckypool' narrative, but I sat through that match thinking - 'this is a 3-0 type of game, how come we're not winning 3-0?' because that was the level of our dominance. The scoreline flatters Leicester massively and I feel they're being over-hyped right now because of how crap United and Spurs are and how bang average Arsenal are.

The fortunate narrative that’s been presented since Saturday is laughable. Leicester were fortunate to be level given the number of chances we created.

Great report, as always. Against Sheffield United Mané was fouled in the box and didn’t make anything of it. No penalty given. Funnily enough I haven’t heard anyone bring that up when discussing whether he dived. If officials (and fucking VAR) had the balls to give fouls in the first place then players wouldn’t feel the need to point them out by falling over.

Mane was fouled. Ergo, a penalty. Whether he dived or took a dump on the penalty spot thereafter shouldn't matter. He was fucking fouled.

 

The utter shite spouted by the pair of slapheads on Match of the Day about that (and the foul on Salah) was embarrassing.

Not enough made of Milner's pass for Mane's goal for me.  One of the passes of the season, if not THE pass of the season.  Kept it in play, bent it round the defender with perfect pace - and all that with his weaker foot.

It might as well have had a written invite on the ball "Sadio, please put me in the fucking net now".

A bowling champion couldn't have delivered that better if he'd stood on the touchline and rolled it to Mane.

It would have been a fucking travesty if we'd have dropped points after the sheer majesty of that goal.

And it was clearly a tactic to be trying to haul the shirt off Salah's back too, the whole Leicester defence were at it.  At least two of the snide cunts got a yellow for it, they'd obviously been briefed to do it.

The more I watch the Mane penalty the more stonewall (and it was pretty fucking stonewall to begin with) it becomes. Albrighton actually stands-on and traps Mane’s foot.

The thing about last season is we didn’t just bank the experience of challenging for the title and missing out by a hair’s breadth. We also banked the experience of being front-runners with a big lead and feeling City chasing us down. The players already know what it is to live with the extra pressure of being Liverpool in that position without a league title in 29 years, plus the hype and talk of potentially bottling it which comes with that.

 

We didn’t know it then of course but it effectively constituted a dry run for where we are now. Not in terms of how long was left in the season, but certainly that inevitable “it’s theirs to lose” sense from everyone else. That’s not saying we’ll definitely win it now, for obvious reasons, but how could already having experienced and learnt from a situation with strong similarities to this one so recently not help?

I'm the only red in the job and that's all I hear now “it’s theirs to lose  "another dive" "They're luck will run out" as dave says" fuck everyone that isn't us "and" the fume "is unbelievable. Never seen so much boiling piss cunts, it's brilliant. 

As said above lessons have been learnt from last season,we've been here before.

Dave: "Selling Dave Maguire for £80m without weakening the side is a great bit of business. Maybe United should have bought this lad instead"

 

Ed Woodward: Now he fucking tells us. Scouse twat!

 

The treatment of Salah on Saturday was a disgrace. He was held by the shirt and grabbed round the neck numerous times before getting hacked down by Choudhery, and not a thing was done. Klopp is right to be furious about it and make a fuss. They'll probably do nothing about it. If we just keep quiet and take it, then we'll certainly never get anything. So much for the Blues' delusion that the PL and the media have it all arranged we have the red carpet rolled out for us.

Spot on as ever.

Mané is just a terrific footballer and getting better which is stunning. His defending was excellent in the first half, he took the goal well and when he was fouled in the box (and he was kicked on the ankle) he made the ref make a decision whereas Kavanaugh had bottled out of those all day.

When I saw Lovren's name I was worried but full credit to the bloke. He's never moaned and complained, he was excellent in this game.

And Milner, I've praised him before but he's such a great leader. That pass was exceptional, his calmness for the penalty admirable and his game management very clever. (Should have scored first half mind).

A word for Salah, he wasn't great but he never hides and makes himself available, always running and trying.

I heard stories about Perez and his brother when they were in the NE and your view of him is spot on, I hope Robbo got a chance to smack him

If we take all the lessons from last season's league campaign that we did from the previous season's Champions League campaign and final defeat, we can only be benefit from it. Whether that culminates in the ultimate prize, we may only know in the closing games of the season.

Bang average arsenal are 1 point behind city. They have 4 very winnable games out of the next 5. The one they might struggle with is Leicester away. Course they may struggle in a couple of others too, time will tell.

 

Im not suggesting arsenal will be contenders but it would be a little unwise not to keep a respectable eye on them for now.

Exactly re Salah, one time he nearly had his head pulled off! Didn’t get anything for it!

If City turn their form around and return to last seasons form they will finish with 91 points. 

We would have to get less than 67 points from our next 30 games for them to pass us. I have no interest in jinxing it but that looks positive.

If we return to our form prior to our 17 wins in a row we will end up with 96. Even after the disastrous Spurs game in 17/18 we garnered 62 points from 29 games so we would be close to achieving 90 points if we go back to that form. 

Also I'd be surprised if City return to that kind of form without Laporte.
