The two games we've lost this season have basically been because of major fuck ups from the officiating team. At some point, I truly hope it "evens out" as many people usually claim.

 

We are definitely due an outrageous VAR decision winning us a game, preferably against City at the Etihad.

Only watched the second half tonight, but It’d say the fact that we were wank may also have something to do with it.

[Mathewbet1]

We have another reserve keeper were the ball seems to go straight through him.

Much more likely we'll be losing narrowly and equalise really late only for VAR to find a reason in controversial circumstances to rule it out.

 

We'll then be left with fuck all of what actually matter - points - regardless of what should have happened.

MacAllister should be bossing the midfield against teams like that. But he isn't. That tells us how good he is. Also looks goosed after 10 mins of each game he plays.

The correct medical term for looking goosed after 10 minutes is "Stephane Henchoz syndrome". 

[Rick Sanchez C-137]

I've seen nothing from Mac so far to suggest we should have paid more for him than Endo, which is worrying.

Expertly trained by Pepe Reina?

[Creator Supreme]

The podcast should be a laugh anyway.

How about that one of them was a top Premier League player and won the World Cup? And that Klopp will actually play him in many games.

[Funkasy]

I think there were 9 touches of the ball after macallister and that were touches from both teams. This is just fucked up.

[LFC 6 Times]

That was shite. But thought rule had changed about handball.

[AngryOfTuebrook]

Fucking awful decision, but it shouldn't be an issue: we should have been eleventy-nil up by then.

 

[gkmacca]

I suspect several of them have this bug that's going through the club. Klopp was sniffing away through the presser after. They certainly played like they lacked the usual energy and clear heads.

Ooh, star bar. Best choccie bar by miles. 

[Section_31]

Dunno why that made me laugh. Bit like Phil Babb splitting his balls on the post, sometimes you get what you deserve.

Playing below par doesn't make it ok for very bad decisions to go against a team though. "Oh, we've been shite today, hence we deserve to get a legit goal chalked off?" Weird logic.

 

We've been poor in many games over the years and won or drawn. Should we return those points because we apparently didn't deserve them? 

[Turkish Delight]

My reflections on this:

 

- Kostas isn't good enough and we effectively have no senior left back capable of consistently playing at the top level for the next couple of months. It genuinely could torpedo the season.

 

- I just don't see it with Mac Allister. He's slow, ponderous and sloppy with the ball.

 

- Szoboszlai's attitude off the bench in this was really poor and his body language was off. He's been great so far this season but I didn't like what I saw tonight (or at Luton).

 

- Trent has the ability to hit a ball so well but I think he kills any tempo in our game in this role. It seems our pattern of play consists of get it to him to attempt the hollywood ball. It's great when it comes off but most times we just end up losing it as a result.  The 40 yard ping into the crowd concerned me too as he clearly learned nothing from the weekend.

 

- The work rate of the whole team tonight was poor. I get it's not a big occasion but they should have wanted to put Luton right and they didn't. That makes me concerned about the team and season as a whole.

Where did you read or hear these things?

[Section_31]

Mac is boss, he's being played out of position. It's not like he's an unknown quantity, he's been excellent in the prem before we bought him.

[Guest]

Just seen the disallowed Liverpool equaliser. Handball?  Very odd.

[mike23]

Just watched a recording of the game as I was at work when it was on. Dreadful performance but I'm just staggered by that goal being disallowed at the end. I didn't think VAR could go that far back for handball when reviewing goals. And what was with the ref awarding the goal and then suddenly going to the monitor? It's good to see that it's not just the clowns officiating in the premier league who are using VAR to manipulate results.

Star Bar rep

[Arnaud]

I also believe our third goal should have stood but it’s not shared by every one and their first disallowed goal was fine , there was no foul on Matip.

 

we were so bad against one of the worst team in France right now, it’s really worrying.

 

Tsimikas, some were saying he was so much better than Robbo, is not reliable as Endo. 
 

And we need a proper right back please !
