Reebok Classics and Canons at Dawn. WBA v LFC. 21/4/18 12.30 The Hawthorns

[Baltar]

The nightmare scenario of losing out on a top 4 place with a defeat at Stamford bridge very much alive. Should have ended the uncertainty today. So fucking frustrating and annoying. If we miss out on the top 4 from the position we were in... Does not bear thinking about.

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

Say what you like about our performance. Apart from our wank fullbacks we weren't that bad. But when you throw in a performance from a ref like that we're totally fucking hamstrung. An absolute cunt of a performance from an absolute cunt of a referee. I'd have more faith in Winnie Atwell than that cunt.

It's easy to say that we threw it away ourselves. There's a ring of truth to that.

 

But, if the penalty gets awarded and Hegazi is sent off, there's a huge argument that we see out the second half with ease.

 

Cunt ref.

[J-V]

Oh look. We dropped 2 points and all the doom mongers are back saying we will not finish in the top 4th. They just cannot help themselves can they.

 

I've seen one person say that.

[1892-LFCWasBorn]

Not sure why people are having a go at Klavan. Thought he did ok today.

 

Van Dijk was to blame on the first goal. Replica of the goal we conceeded against Swansea when he should have cleared the ball with his head.

[aRdja]

Cunts

[karl1987]

Still have2 home games at Stoke and Brighton to come with Chelsea inbetween and all we need is 4 points.  Should be easy enough.  Chelsea still have to win ALL their games.

Not only that but his passiveness encouraged their aggressive play and they were somehow getting every free kick. In the end, no matter how solid you are at the back, giving a team like that set piece after set piece will cost you eventually.

 

It's the weakness of the ref that did us in, no question. That was a good enough performance to win.

There is more than one person saying it.

[DirkDiggledinho]

Absolutely disgusted by this result, took our eye off the ball completely. Yes we will probably still get top four but we seem to want to make it as hard for ourselves as possible. Too much fannying about today by Moreno, Wijnaldum and Karius, in particular.

 

We'll never make the step up to challenging on all fronts if we keep that tendency to blow two goal leads, the soft centre. So frustrating because it looked to all intents and purposes like it had gone but certain players are keeping it there

Steve McMahon, great player, tit.

[mouse1989]

We need what 4 points from the next 3 to confirm qualification for CL?

Yes and that’s if Chelsea win all their games (which includes beating us)

 

We’ve got Stoke at home next Saturday at 12:30 and Chelsea go to Swansea at 17:30. Results go our way, we could have it wrapped up

[karl1987]

What today does confirm is that need need some decent reinforcements in defence come the Summer and that Gomez should be nowhere near that right back position ever again.

[1892-LFCWasBorn]

How bad was Lovren when he came on?

 

Another fucking liability.

[Dundalis]

Don't think people realise this team does not have anywhere close to the squad depth necessary to compete in all competitions. This team can beat anyone with the best 11, but the drop in quality to the next best is massive. It's disappointing, but the standard is just a lot lower with so many first teamers out of the side/playing bit parts. You need multiple players on your bench that could play for elite teams, and we don't have it. All this shows is the shallow quality of the squad.

[an tha]

Spot on this, and it’s so obvious I reckon Klopp can’t fail to see it.

I am sure he knows - whether he can address it/is given what he needs to address it or not in the summer will be crucial in whether we kick on and challenge for the title or remain top 4 contenders.

 

Fuck this today - let's get into Roma on Tuesday and this will be a forgotten minor set back.

 

Fucking early kick offs again - by way...we just rarely seem to do any good in them!

[Faustus]

It's obviously bloody annoying, but we need four points from Stoke and Brighton at home, and Chelsea away. A bit of perspective is needed like. Baby out with the bathwater from a few.

[Bobby Hundreds]

Be nice if we could just do things without the drama. West Brom are wank our squad players are showing they are not up to the task. Buy big in the summer shift that bench along. It's an annoyance but roma is the day.

[J-V]

There is more than one person saying it.

 

That's OK then keeps you happy I guess.

 

[TheHowieLama]

Sheesh - what a cluster

[dockers_strike]

Does not keep me happy. What are you on about.

[bizzle10]

relax we will win at stamford bridge

[Carvalho Diablo]

Lovren defending that free kick, nice high line, Lovren himself urging people to hold the line, Lovren himself dropping deep and playing every cunt onside. The man is a brain dead twat and I cannot wait to get shot if him, Morono, Mongolet and several others.

[karl1987]

Na we'll beat Stoke next week and Swansea will get something v Chelsea a few hours later meaning our game v Chelsea will be meaningless.

[Carvalho Diablo]

Why?

Much of his 'expert analysis' has been shocking.

[Scooby Dudek]

2 points thrown away.

Too sloppy and casual all day, all over the pitch. 

 

Yes the ref was shite, but you should not throw away a two goal lead with 15 minutes remaining. 

 

Every single change they had today was down to our sloppiness. Hopefully a different team and mindset on Tuesday.
