Alisson deserved loads of credit today

 

He was superb today

Yes he kept us in the game just as much as our shit finishing almost gave chelsea 3 points. What a goal by Sturridge our super sub. 

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

Fair point. 

 

A well ground out draw. We weren't at our best but showed great perseverance to keep on going when it looked like things wouldn't go our way in the final third against a Chelsea team who defended very well. 

 

Is Sturridge pushing for a starting role? 

[Iceman]

Fuck Hazard straight in the fudge, we got The Studge. 

[polymerpunkah]

Alisson is the man of the match, obviously.

 

Held us in it.

 

Why Chelsea sat back and let us dominate the second half I have no idea.

 

Sarri learned a lesson today. Could have been a 3- or 4-1 lesson.

Take that you fucking rentboy cunts.

I'm fairly certain thats what Klopp said to Sarri who couldn't understand what he meant. 

[Numero Veinticinco]

Although he shouldn’t in a month of Sunday’s be starting, having that Dan come on from the bench, as out only king range shooter, is good.

Suzy has her own commentator. Now that's class. Repped.

Yes, and delighted with a point.

The Henderson conundrum. 

[TheBitch]

What a fucking goal that was.

 

I nearly took the roof off the house.

[skend04]

That's the least we deserved. Bar the counterattack goal we controlled that. Better chances and 2 cleared off the line too. 

[Lee909]

The Sturridge goal really showed why i have been pissed off with the midfield three and it goes back 3 or 4 years.

The lack of players with the ability to take on a shot from 25-30 yards has been a issue for me. We only had Coutinho of late really willing to do it. And with teams happy to camp so deep against us we really need that as ot forces them out to challenge the shot. Too often with Henderson and Milner they cut back inside or turn away from goal in them positions.

What you mean put him on the bench or leave him at Melwood, it’s a tough choice

I'm putting mine back on

Excellent game of football from two very good teams. The way we kept going, created quite a few good chances in the second half, but still managed to maintain the balance and not give too much away defensively was very very impressive.

 

Delighted with the performance and the result.

It's not really a conundrum though.  Just don't play the joke.

There isn't one imo

 

Its him or Gini until Fabinho is ready and Gini offers far more

[Anny Road]

I was thinking what nonsense it is bringing a striker on with 4/5 minutes to go.

It is as if the manager is saying 'look i tried'

If you are serious bring him on with 20 to go.

WTF do I know.

 

Sturridge has not so much as won us a point, which he did, but has taken 2 off Chelsea

Is it right to be still pissed off a bit? We'd enough chances to have won that game and how hazard gets man of the match is a fucking mystery. 

Anyway,it's a positive result given we were behind. And Danny, take a cunting bow. John Barnes against  arsenal in 89/90 season at the any road end. Carbon copy.

I get where you are coming from but no not right for me to be a bit pissed off still.

 

We nearly lost and had we done so in our almost customary manner in these games then yeah it would be time to be pissed off - not because we were bad, we weren't but because it had happened again in a big game and to these fucking horrible cunts...

 

We'd be licking the same old wounds with the same old 'if only'.....rescuing a point at the death with a worldy to avoid that is a cause for much happiness...

No team wins every game, but title challengers and champions rescue lost causes like that.

 

Get in and enjoy it - it was nearly very different to what is a big point and a big point made.

My feeling exactly. They created fuck all bar the 2 hazard chances. How many did we fuck away? Anyway, we'll take it. Least we deserved. Fucking shower of plastic rent boy cunts.

[Mark M]

Point probably a fair result. Between salah mane and Shaqui miss we had enough chances to win it.

Alisson really showed his worth today though made big saves at crucial times. That Mr. Pink needs his eyes checked. 

[Aventus]

Good game that, I quite enjoyed it.

 

Would rather draw a game like that than against a team that's just sat back and trying to get the odd break from hoofing it upfield. 

 

 

Happy for Sturridge too, been an asset off the bench so far this season.

You’re good but I wouldn’t go that far.

 

 

Made up with that goal. Horrible shower of cunts they are.

In an hour I'll be where you're at. For years United did that and demoralised teams. We never gave up and fully deserved the point. Fucking sarri has does brilliantly. Another likeable manager that those cunts have

[moof]

Fair result on balance. We weren’t at our best but still created plenty, centre backs imperious, full backs both had a bit of a shaky game, midfield looked too ponderous with Hendo in there. We’re fractions away from everything really clicking. 

 

Chelsea were great, very disciplined. Outplayed us in midfield, defended well as a team and always looked a threat. They’ll be right up there with us at the end of the season
