Agree about Sadio, but something "football God like" tells me we'll see a Mane hat trick in one of the remaining games. Relax about 4th place. Football God doesn't make a keeper score a header like that without meaning. Football God is only teasing us.

Just swap him for Suarez.

Totally agree with you regarding the Bailly hands early in the match. It’s double annoying when ManU gets a free kick in a very dangerous position later in the match when a shot hits Thiago's arm. The Pen VAR overruled? If not in the area a free kick is given for the reckless tackle, hitting the ball or not. It's a pen in my view. As explained by Souness not a pen back in his days but with the rules today, it's a pen. Also, Nat isn't just over performing. IMO he's just a much better player than people realize. He reads the game really well and his positioning is second to none.

Nat's been good for us, very good. IMO he's largely underrated. I love the way he handles set backs like hs own goal yesterday. Doesn't make him nervous or affecting his game in a negavtiv way at all. Top quakity, one flaw only: Speed. Then again he's ten times faster than the old England captain Tony Adams,

Luis Suarez?

Storm in a tea cup. I like players who're angry when they're benched. No story here.

I guess forking out 250K to the Scudamore farewell gift some time ago means the club can't afford to unfortunately.

Had a new look at it. A draw in London tonight could actually be enough if we win our last four. If we win our last four we'll end up with 69 points and goal diff. +22 or better. If Chelsea beats Leicester and Leicester then beats Spurs, Leicester will end on 69 points too (the currently have GD +21) Then if Arsenal gets a point today and Chelsea draws against Leicester Chelsea will end on max 69 points (GD +24 or better) Then of course there's the small detail about winning our last four.

If, though I know it's an impossible dream, but if those soft North Londoners win tonight, the faith (4th place) is actually in our own hands as Chelsea and Leciester still have to play each other. We're still in it but need a win tomorrow.

Tomorrow is the perfect day to bounce back. Be the killer you know you can be, Sadio, then you can prove yourself in the CL next year, Gei in lad.

Most of us wouldn't just be "happy enough" if Klopp did the same, but pissed off if he didn't. We are where we are because of our own failings. Let's see if there's any spine left in our team. All we have to do is go there tomorrow and beat them. If we do we still have a good chance of ending 4th

Scored 61 goals for us from his right back position, all from open play. Not one of them was a free kick or a pen. Quite an achievement. Shanks once said to Tommy Smith: "It's not your knee, it's Liverpool's knee". Can we now say to the Ghost: "It's not your hip, it's Liverpool's hip" and chip in what he needs?

I love football. LFC has been in my heart all my life. I can’t stop that, and the money grabbers know I can’t. Lost case then? Hell yeah , that’s probably the truth. Still I’ve had enough. Enough of TV companies ripping me off. Enough of Super League and New format CL. Enough of corruption. Enough of bastards trying to ruin my love for football. So I’ve made a pledge: Pledge 1: I refuse to pay anyone to watch football on TV. This one is already in effect as from the beginning of this season. I’ve simply found other ways to watch our boys play. As I won’t admit to anything illegal, I’ll just say I watch the games with friends. Pledge 2. Won’t watch new CL footy – not even on TV. I simply refuse to watch any transmission of the first 10 preliminary CL-games when this new CL format is on. I’ll still watch the knock out matches and may make an exception for the very last of the first 10, and only if it’s a qualification decider. Not Interested! TV advisors! No point advertising anything as far as I’m concerned! Pledge 3. Won’t watch a single game of what they call the World cup i Quatar – not even the final. This shit is just ruining the ordinary season for me. It’s the mother of all corruption. Don’t care one little bit about it. Won’t even watch the final. I’ll prefer not to know who won it. This one’s not for me, thank you very much! So what do I achieve with this ”personal crusade”? Answer is: Zip nothing, apart from trying to keep my head up high ………unless of course millions of fans did the same. So heer it is: I invite you to join me.

Our maximum this season is 73 points (if we win all the remaining games) 4th place the last 10 seasons has been (2010-2011 - 2019-2020): 68-69-73-79-70-66-76-75-66 Not much room for error if we're going to have any chance of ending 4th or better. Ome more M City win and they'll be out of reach (they currently have 71 p)

It's bizarre: Fact 1: Our last 8 home games: 0-2-6, 2 points. 2 goals scored. It's way behind what relegation teams get. Fact 2: Top scorer in the PL is: A Liverpool player!

I think Kloppo’s style is very ambitious. We need all our players to work very hard and do their part. If everybody does and every single player sticks to the game plan, we’re almost unstoppable. But when one or two are out of form, or a new player doesn’t stick to the game plan 100% we’re equally poor. That counter pressing style is great when we force opposition out of options. Then we’ll win the ball high up the field and can immediately use the unbalance to our advantage. If one single player doesn’t do his job, there’ll be a way out for the opp and all we achieve is being more vulnerable with too few people back to defend. If we do succeed with the high pressure, and one player doesn’t commit himself to the immediate attack, but i.e. plays a back pass to keep things controlled, the risky high line was all for nothing. We’ve seen this from Kloppo before. When it works, his teams are the best in the world. When it doesn’t, clueless. In a way it’s either on or it’s not, nothing in between.

Song: VAR! (clapping), what is it good for? Absolutely nothing!

VAR thoughts? I know booing is something the KOP usually doesn't approve much of. But next season, or whenever Anfield is yet again packed, I'd like to see a huge BOOOOOO every time VAR interupts tha match, regardless of how and why. If VAR decision is to our advantage? I'd still want to hear a load Boooo. VAR ! = Boooooo!

Sure do. A parade after winning the 7th CL The one from last year? Unless it's included in the CL parade, nah .. .water under the bridge now. At the current form we're heading for what could be the worst league season we've had for 60 years. Blue fans all over town woukld have the laugh of their lives.

You,re right. The question is should he be plunged into the nightmare situastion, when we probably have better options? Is it fair to the player himself?

If you kick a ball against a wall, it bounces back. For a period of time there’s no air between the ball and the wall. How long time? I don’t know, but I’d expect it’ll be app 1/10 second from the ball hits the wall until it comes back off it. So, do you freeze the picture at the time it hits the wall or the time it bounces back off it? It could well be a yard difference if two players are moving in opposite directions. So it seems to me you could freeze the picture to suit your agenda. If the lines don’t prove your case, just freeze the picture a split second earlier or later, and voila! Kicking a ball is no different. If anything the ball is at the foot for a longer time than it is bouncing off a wall. When is the kick or the pass actually made?

I don’t hold Kabak responsible for the mistakes he’s making, they were likely to occur, and he’s doing his best. Right now, however, Nat Philips is our best defender and should be picked ahead of Kabak. Ideally Kabak should be given time, like Fabinho was when he came to us, to bed in and learn in training. Not that I’m that arsed. This season (CL apart) has gone. As far as I’m concerned what we do now is just preparing for the next season. With that in mind I’m all right with Kakak playing. It is after all the best way to learn.

Funny thing is we've probably seen more wrong off side decisions this season than we did last season, despite the fact VAR suspposedly can't be wrong. BTW they look at millimeters on the pictures, but who's telling when to freeze that picture. They look at millimeters, but a picture frozen 1/00 of a second before or after would change the lines complelely. Who decides when to freeze the picture?

This is not the time for criticism. We needed this and it's something to build on. From 10-15 mins until we scored our second we were good I think. After 2-0 we were not very good. We were giving away way too many chances, were unable to punish their ultra offensive pressing game, and lost most of the 2nd balls. When we stopped them they took the ball back within seconds, a bit like our style actually. I think our players got complacent after the two victories against Spurs and West Ham. I feel they won't this time. Only discipline and hard work gets you over the line.
