What was that Dave said about Kavanagh being the best of a bad bunch?

Chelsea will be happier with that. Get away with injuring a player and have senior forwards to bring on later with score still square.

 

They're so shite, though. It's more terrible timing having to play this game right now.

Yeah true. We'd be well ahead now if our full team was out.

[Freddo]

Anyone explain how Caecido basnt been carded. Is he the new Rodri.

Need more from Gakpo. We have to be better on their box, stop fucking about and take a first time shot.

Shame we don’t have some real first team options on the bench. Boys are digging deep that’s for sure.

The worst decision was down to whoever was manning VAR though. 

[Red74]

Just seen it

[stringvest]

Well, it could have been worse.  We need to get Bradley on the ball more.  Elliott has been peripheral, but Endo and MacAllister have been controlling the midfield.  Robertson has been poor, one valuable intervention apart, and Gomez needs to wake up a bit.  Our big problem is the lack of pace up front, Bradley apart.

Of course we get a yellow. Bent fucking cunt 

All refs seem to book both players regardless. It's stupid but it's nothing to do with corruption. Refs seem to just book both by default, bit annoying but it always happens.

[Red Shift]

Do we stick with Conner up front? We’re missing his midfield dynamism

[niallers]

How is caicedo still on the pitch? 4 fouls after his fucking cunt of a challenge on Gravenberch. He then books Bradley for getting pushed and doing nothing else.

We were blessed with the offside and cursed with the post.

A full team and we batter these cunts.

We need to dig in here as we've fuck all pace and really no changes from the bench unless it's for legs.

This could go all the way again and we've already lost a bit due to another injury and it looks a bad one.

No senior players should play Wednesday against saints. We can't keep accumulating these injuries and hope to win the league

[El Rojo]

Joe Gomez straight in for Bradley that time. Made of the right stuff.

Really cynical play from them. Argentinian, even.

I wonder where they got that from!

[Elite]

Our issue has been the lacking of quality from Diaz and Gakpo. Those two are the senior forwards, they need to do much better.

[Captain Willard]

That opening pre match monologue from Jon Champion was awful teenage prose, “the Albert bridge to the Albert dock” utter shit.

[Babb'sBurstNad]

Hope Caicedo accidentally shrinks his best jumper, the twat.

[Red Phoenix]

Can't believe we've had another stretchered off, fucking unreal. I'm concerned about our defence now with Bradley further up too, hope he can do something in attack instead though.

[waddy78]

We've got nothing upfront (understandable with the injuries) but when the openings come we need to hit it earlier and stop trying to walk it in.

Brooks. And how could he not at least send the ref to the monitor for a challenge that has seen a player stretchered off, FFS?

Yeah fuck the FA cup off, if we can win with a kids side great but we are in no shape to fight on 3 more fronts so play smart.

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

This is something more than a coincidence now. 
 

Because of his free license to go around the pitch and kick fuck out of opponents with impunity, he should be renamed Caicedinho .

[suzy]

If only we could bring Mo on, this is frustrating as hell.

Hope he washes it with a pink sock.

[Section_31]

Hadn't realised how bad our injuries were until today, we're missing almost an entire first team.

[Joey8FrogsLegs]

Very good half that from us, not least concidering our situation and also other factors being against us.

 

So proud and impressed by this team and by Klopp. If we loose against these cheating twats, assisted by the corrupt officials, then so be it, so proud of the reds no matter what.

 

On the individual performances, lots of good ones, Endo brilliant again. And if you haven’t realized it yet, Conor Bradley is a world class footballer.

Joe is solid, but we’re not making the most of Bradley. He’s stuck out there like Mo

He's astonishingly shit.
