aRdja's deal is that he doesn't rate Firmino and he wanted us to sell him and buy Gotze to replace him. No matter how ridiculous that opinion was and no matter how well Firmino does at LFC, he'll never admit he was wrong so there really is no point in discussing anything with him in regards to Firmino.

 

It's fine not to rate a player, but it's another thing to deny obvious greatness when you see it because you don't want to appear like you were wrong.

I named him in my top 3. Have done so more than once this season.

I thought karius had a very good game today. Could do fuck all about the goal to be fair to him, but made some good solid saves earlier when called upon. At least one of those would have went in was it mignolet in goal.

I thought the same.

 

Wouldn't it be nice if this were the start of him coming good.

 

I also love the hungry way Sturridge took that quick corner that led to the 6th goal.

4.5 is just how the bookies over in Europe do it. means 5 have to be scored as 4 is under 4.5.

 

Cheers. I suppose I don't really get the .5 part of it, since goals come in increments of one! So anything over 4 would be 5, or more.

 

Not a point I particularly want to keep pressing, but just don't understand the .5 part!

I guarantee if they used whole numbers the chat function on the website would be hammered daily with people saying "Does over 4 include 4?".

Thought that it was going to be one of those days when we missed chance after chance early on but this team creates chance after chance and when the first one went in the floodgates opened.

 

 

In days gone by under Rafa (sorry everybody) then maybe this would be the case.  But under this team you know that they will create decent chances from kick off until the final whistle.  The game is never up.

I think it's a common American thing, too. I certainly hear it around NFL when talking about an Over/Under.

 

Basically it's setting a line, where anything more than that is one result, anything less is the other.

 

Because the goals come on whole numbers, if 'the line' was set on a whole number, you'd have 3 outcomes - higher, lower and equal.

 

Hence setting the line at a .5, so you just have higher or lower outcomes.

 

Or, what he said!
