    They've given up. There's no anger in them. They've allowed themselves to be worn down by all the various setbacks they've had and they don't have any fight in them to stop it.

     

    After what happened at Goodison those playrs should have been frothing at the fucking mouth yesterday. I understand how hard it is without fans and against Brighton, Burnley etc I can see why it's difficult to play without that emotion and adrenaline that a crowd instills.

     

    But yesterday? No crowd was necessary. They should have had this game circled in the calendar for four months. It should have been fire and brimstone and fucking flying into them from the opening whistle.

     

    Instead, they went out and just tried to play like it was any old football game in an empty stadium. I'm not saying they didn't try, I'm saying they were meek as fuck and showed no fight or anger or resentment about what those fuckers did to derail our season four months ago.

     

    The more I think about what I saw yesterday, the more pissed off I am with Klopp and the players at their lack of emotion and fight. 

     

    It's symbolic of who we've become when you think about it though. The sight of Virgil sat behind the bench should have served as a reminder to the players about what they were playing for. Revenge. Payback. Justice. Whatever you want to call it.

     

    And what did we get? A fucking pathetic, passionless first half in which we went in a goal behind. The second half was fine, all that was missing was a goal, but I'm struggling to accept how they could be so fucking passionless at the start of that game.

     

    Go back four months to that game at Goodison and think about what happened and how you felt. Now imagine if someone had told you then that the next time we play Everton, Richarlison will be the match winner and Pickford will be Man of the Match. At Anfield.

     

    You wouldn't have believed it because the very idea of it would be preposterous. Yet it happened, because we let it happen. That's what I mean about it symbolising who we've become. The two villains from the Goodison derby, the two players we were all saying would get what's coming to them at Anfield.... they didn't get punished at all. They had it all their own way.

     

    They're laughing their fucking bollocks off at us. 

    That should have been your match report Dave. Not that crying about referees shite.

    It's all well and good saying have a 22 team league with Leeds and West Brom, but neither of them had secured automatic promotion, and even if they had, what of the third promotion place via the playoffs? All those teams in contention for that would be suing the PL for potential lost earnings.

     

    The season has to be completed before a new one starts. It's the only way to avoid all kinds of legal proceedings.

    Maybe I'm just a doom merchant or maybe I'm just trying to shield myself by thinking the worst but depending on how long it is shut down I think it will be scrapped and Liverpool, Leeds, West Brom etc will have as much recourse to a refund as I will from BT or Sky or you will from LFC. They'll just say *shrugs shoulders* global pandemic, what can you do?

  3. Isn't it about time he was considered first choice right back ahead of Glen Johnson?

     

    Maybe I'm wrong, but he seems, frankly, just better at it.

     

    I've wondered a few times whether I was too soft on Kelly, Spearing too for that matter, because they are young, local lads; while being too hard on the likes of Johnson, Carroll, Downing, Henderson etc because they're easy targets - being English but not Scouse and incredibly expensive.

     

    I'm starting to think that Kelly in particular though is just plain better than his direct competitor, Johnson.

     

    Is he better, or am I just picking the Scouser ahead of the Londoner?

  4. Partly to lift the gloom around here and partly because I've been dicking around Youtube all night since Leverkusen shagged my bet before it had even got off the ground, I thought I'd start a thread about great goals you remember from when you were a young 'un.

     

    Personally, I'm 25, so Carlos Alberto's goal from 1970 and Maradona's "turns like a little eel" goal from 86 are before my time, but I'd like to know what are the goals that people on this forum will remember forever.

     

    For me
