The opposition Conspiracy bandwagon have their point of contention for the night, despite the fact it never actually touched his hand. From the BBC match feed.

 

 

They see what they want to see, not the reality, dont they. Clearly doesnt touch Bobby's hand and it was nearer the defender's hand.

Get Curtis Jones on.

I dont think we are poor at all. We've totally bossed the game and made west ham run a lot. We've played the direct ball over the top a little too much and if Divock could have got his toe to that cross, it would be 2 now.

 

Hopefully west ham will tire in the 2nd half and we can make it pay. Just need to make sure we arent sloppy with the ball.

We are slow in the build up.

Our left wing is non-existent.

Sloppy in the final third.

We are poor apart from possession.

 

I can't see Klopp being happy with that.

We are poor par possession.

No, I can't see him making much of your poem either.

It’s pure desperation. Love it.

What!? Final third I tend to agree the rest, nah, sorry.

According to the twat commentators when they were moaning about him getting a foul against him "he played the ball twice once with each foot".

 

Yep, that was an unreal piece of commentary, literally self-refuting. Pair of clowns must be stuck in 1986 when two-footed tackles were still allowed.

[Jordy Brouwer]

I think part of the reason for slow play at the back is to entice them to come forwards and press a bit to give us a bit more space but I certainly agree it was excessive at times.

The West Ham player handled it anyway.

[Rick Sanchez C-137]

I saw Kloppo hand a big brown envelope to a guy in van marked "VAR OFFICIALS: WE DEFINITELY DON'T TAKE BRIBES, BUT ALSO, THE DOOR IS OPEN KLOPP"

 

Make of that what you will

West Ham usually have eleven men behind the ball. Fifteen if you count Moss’ body mass as a barrier in the middle of the pitch. It’s not easy to walk through and you have to keep chipping away. We’re doing fine.

Spot on.  Fucking awful, determined to undermine any decision in Liverpool's favour.  Cunt.

If Ox carries on like this then Jones or Keita for him.

I understand it but there at least 5 times where VvD could have made a fast pass forward but instead passed to Ox who slows it further down.

 

[Joey8FrogsLegs]

Moyes is not a very good manager obviously, but he seems to know a thing or two about parking the bus. They’ve been very compact, and set up their wide defenders to block off our full backs, which has worked fairly well.

 

We’ve been patient which is good, too slow which is not so good, and a bit sloppy which we could well pay the price for if continued.

 

Should keep trying to play in behind their defence, and fight to win the second ball high up. Low risk and high potential for a reward.

[Anubis]

Agree with that.

[Red House]

Don't need Hendo dropping so deep to make a back-three in build up. The two centre-backs should be enough to play around their one-man press in Haller, who can't even be arsed anyway.

[Numero Veinticinco]

I’d like to see Keita.

I agree, under the circumstances we are doing ok.

 

We could be better is my point if we played with a bit more tempo.

[J-V]

Gollum acting all hard done by to Klopp.  Klopp thinking Cunt.

Excruciating is the kindest thing I can think of.

Yeah, it's called retaining possession and making the oppos run to either try and intercept the ball across the back line or run and cut off options for any forward pass.

Mo bursting a bubble with a sly header there.

Yes but when playing against players that park the bus you need to counter attack when you have the chance.

See the build up to the penalty.
