No. Quite a number of our players helped giving them hope. 

Look, I get people will defend Quansah, especially the players and manager. Plus human nature, you don't want to blame one person, I get that.

 

And, I like him. I've liked him since pre-season. He's fantastic.

 

This game's on him.

They're a weird team though too. They seem to get fucked by just about everyone, yet they seem to find a way to hang in and grab a goal, almost like a rich Luton. And despite everyone getting 30 shots a week against them, not many are running out with comfortable wins. Each time I watch them pick up points I'm normally scratching my head wondering how they managed it. They're normally the worst team in just about every game they play, yet they're 6th and won 50% of their games. We have to remember this about them for every minute of the game, they sucker punch everyone. 

 

 

It seems we were not arsed about this. 0-1 at half time today was criminal. I can't even be arsed with the rest of it. Our players at times think they're arsenal fans. They're too busy smelling their own shit, instead of just finishing games. We've fucked these cunts 3 times this season and haven't won once.

Quansah picked ahead of Konate was an issue I had before the game but after seeing what I did there's no way I'd be blaming it all on him. We missed loads of chances in that game and our attacking players clearly had issues too for a start. We could've won by 5 or 6 goals.

The only reason selecting quansah is an issue is because it shows what a fucking embarrassment konate is fitness wise. He let France play him in a friendly. So we then couldn't play him v Brighton. So then he either missed Thursday or today. So it was today. The lad is only 24 and has never in his entire career played a run of games you need in a team. So we have to play the kid instead. We can maybe say klopp should have played it the other way. But the real issue is konate can't be trusted. I'd bomb him in a heartbeat in the summer.

No it isn’t. We created enough chances to score at least five. Could easily have scored five in the first half alone actually.
 

Probably your human nature, trying to find someone to blame.

Ramadan finishes in the next couple of days so shouldn't be an issue for the rest of the season.

 

Thank fuck for that, we won't have to worry about some sky fairy voodoo nonsense fucking with our players, who get paid handsomely to be fit enough to play.

So was it his fault we weren't about 4-0 up by half time? You love stats, the stats matchine gave us 7 big chances today. Yet we only scored twice. And the biggest issue of all is konate is such an embarrassment of an athlete, that he can't do his job twice a week. If you're looking for something to blame, look at the flakes who don't even get on the pitch and in konates case, because he put an international friendly game before his club. And after that, look at all the reasons why one bad pass could undo absolutely dominating a game where we have almost 70% possesion and 29 shots to 9, yet we still only scored twice. Quansah was absolutely the least of our problems today. And some of our problems didn't even get on the pitch.

Because we are United's only reason to try their hardest. We used to do exactly the same to them. Traditionally the team achieving more success at the time tends to do much better than expected in head to heads.

 

Exactly.

People continue to search for "why's" about Liverpool/United games, and the answer is historically pretty clear.

Quansah gave them momentun at a time they were on their knees. I think if he doesn't make the mistake, we most likely would have added a second at some point and then maybe our play would have become less franetic and we could have turned in a good few goals on them.

 

However. this is not on him. A number of players were poor and played the occasion - they do that at Goodison for one and it could be a long evening. 

 

Regardless of how 115 got there, judging them as a football team, I always think they manage occasions like today very well. That feels like our achilles heel at certain grounds. Ironically, Robbo can be guilty of being franetic at times, as can Mo, so this isn't purely on the younger ones.

 

We are in this title race. Two games at home and hopefully ironing out some of the mistakes may give us a serious shot at the right time. The players to come back will be huge.

 

In the two seasons we fell beyond City, I had this horrible feeling we would never catch them. Right now, I feel both could drop points. All to play for.

From all that dominance we didn't even score from open play either. Nothing summed up our lack of composure more than Nunez from the breakaway. There were countless others like the Diaz pass to Salah and that's before you even get to Dom, Diaz and Salah all missing sitters.

It's not my human nature. It's a read on the game.

 

That goal after that mistake is about as blatant a turning point as you'll see in a game. Complete control, not letting your opponent a single shot, and then subsequent to the event, everyone shits themselves. 

 

If you want to just ignore that because you think it makes you a better person, that's fine, but it's also a bit deluded.

 

The finishing is a part of it. I don't think it's remotely as big a part of it as that mistake.

 

And I find it bizarre people will gas up our forwards but then shit on them for this kind of performance. This is who they've been all along.

I responded to this sort of post, our xG wasn't that high pre-mistake. Not scoring more than 1 was not a ridiculously bad outcome.

 

I'll come back at you with this; being a not stats guy, what do you make of the crippling momentum loss a mistake like that inflicts on a team?

Not being a religious fella myself I would suggest the reality of nutrition does come into play without the fairies knowledge.
