Necked the bottle. Feel like shite today is a bit of an understatement.

Dangerous stuff, did likewise a few years ago, didn't feel drunk at all but felt like death the day after.

What, because it might be the truth? He's chatting an awful lot of shite, the constant moaning about too many games being a case in point! And even accounting for injuries that 11 was poor, and the subs didn't help!

Onwards and upwards. I’ll be dropping loads of neg-bombs on here tonight when Ivan Toney blows the title race wide open. 

Gonna bookmark this and neg you to oblivion if you’ve jinxed it.

Mane is fourth top scorer in the PL so far this season. Jota is only one goal ahead of him. I think Mane's demise is being overstated as when two of our three forwards have a stinker it seems to be Mane who is singled. Last night's loss was squarely on the midfield as a whole and the player who missed a penalty.

[TheHowieLama]

Three more in the league, three more overall as well.

 

I do agree that Mane has looked a little better over the last couple months.

[Ronnie Whelan]

Nine times out of ten we win that game. We were just so wasteful throughout and that hae characterised us all season in a few of the games. Gut wrenching result. 

 

City are an outstanding team but they aren't as good as our great teams in the 70s and 80s. We were the best team in Europe consistently for about 8-10 years. The Mancs under Ferguson had great teams as well so it isn't be being biased. Put it like this, several of their great players under him were mentioned as possibles when we were doing the greatest players by position whether it was Schmeicheal, Keane, Ronaldo or Irwin etc Looking at City, world class players galore but only De Bruyne would be someone who you would be puting on a shortlist like that. 

 

I believe they will win the league but like fuck we are out of it. For starters, we beat them, it's 3 points. They will drop points so if we can stay within a few of them by our game with them, who knows.

If you get any more madly in love with the man you'll be cleaning the bogs in his mosque.

Might be doing them a tad of a disservice here. That's 45 odd years ago.

They could easily go on a roll where they win a couple CL's and a shedload of domestic trophies in the next 5 years. So players involved in that will have plenty of trophies.

As for the shortlist for them it starts around the time of Kompany and certainly includes Aguero and Silva in conversation. They were shite before that.

There's no way we're good from corners. We get around a dozen a game and hardly score. I bet our percentage is in the bottom 3.

We score more from set pieces than any of the other PL sides. I agree fully on your point though.

 

We even tried inswinging corners this time, something I'm very much in favour of. To the naked eye it soesn't seem like we're willing to sacrifice everything to get infront of our markers. Van Dijk (could be because of the injury) in particular seems content with occupying a marker rather than doing absolutely everything to lose him. Probably not fair singling him out, but add to it that he doesn't really look riight when jumping and I think you have a big part of why we don't really look threatening from our set pieces.

 

Could be worse, I think City have had 40 or so more corners and have scored half the goals we have...

Hahahahaha

 

No it wasn't. He missed an absolute sitter at a point in time that would have almost certainly won us the game.

Fair point Howie. I do think that in 20 or 30 years, they could have multiple players in such a conversation. Those three lads and De Bruyne were outstanding to be fair. Hard to know if I'd have them in that kind of elite shortlist, but not far off it. I guess you could argue that all four were among the best players in the world in their position for years so that makes them part of it, no more than the great players we had, or the Mancs or Arsenal/Chelsea had.

I just recognise a quality player who always seems to be the first to carry the can for any defeats. As for the 'cleaning toilets in a mosque' I'd have a word with yourself. This behaviour  is also the sign of a very decent and humble human being.

Agree upon this.

Not quite yet. But if we loose against Chelsea, I think we’ll be proper shit. Proper shit like we were last season according to some on here, which spells Klopp’s tactics have been found out, we cant’t beat teams that park the bus, we failed to build from a position of strength by signing lots of players like the other teams do, all our players are past their peak, and they’re all shite anyway apart from Salah, the squad needs a complete overhaul which PSG the tight cunts wont pay for, so we’re both shite, found out and skint which means we’re finished.

 

This was the situation about 10 months ago and could soon be again.

[Tony Moanero]

I know PSG are cunts, but expecting them to buy new players for us is bit much.

[TheHowieLama]

 

[LFC 6 Times]

Still fuming about that Mane miss and also Salah’s miss at 3-2 against Brentford, absolutely careless.

Back  for Chelsea. Although Covid causes muscle soreness. 

Should have had a bet on this shouldn't we.....

 

Elsewhere, Liverpool will continue to be without Thiago Alcantara and Takumi Minamino for the journey to London.

 

The duo were absent from the midweek clash with Leicester City due to muscle soreness.

 

“I would say Taki is probably closer, he is running outside,” said Klopp. “Thiago, not yet. It means for him, it might take a little bit longer. It’s a hip issue which we don’t have an idea where it’s coming from, so we have to be a little bit patient with that.”
