    Didn’t have Liverpool’s arse collapsing just as bad as this. Losing to that Man Utd team in the FA Cup followed by dropping points to them in the league. The Atlanta thumping in Europe and now this. Beautiful

    That is never a penalty in a million years.

    Why not just allow the goal?
    If you don't give the penalty there as the VAR the goal wouldn't stand would it as the ref had whistled, which would have been extra lol.

    It was booked right after the league cup win as a joint celebration of trophies and Klopp. Regardless of how many more were(nt) won.

    Are they going to employ standard tactics and just buy all of Leverkusen's good players or is that unlikely to succeed for the first time ever?

    Harry Maguire scored a really good header. I don't know why Bruno Fernandes doesn't pot shot it more often. He might as well and he's good at it.

    Been watching some old World Cup finals recently. Hungary 1954 genuinley playing like football is played today. So good.



    Elsewhere, in 1974 Netherlands took on Germany as we all know. The Germans diving all over the show, and the Netherlands playing some peak tiki taka, without the boring side to side passing.

    Van Dijk calling out other players after his performance last night is something else. Fine to do it if you have done your job but he didn't.

    This will be, of course, the first year they manage to not get bummed by City when it matters.

    After hearing that Bayern Munich were lining up Ralf as a potential replacement manager, their supporters have petitioned the club that they'd rather keep Tuchel for another season than have Ralf.

    And there's our lot sitting by idly.

    I did watch a vid of slaphead speaking to the media in English though and at least he doesn't sound like the stuttering virgin fuck. His head shape is a bit more palatable, too.

    It would seem the deal with Arne Slot and Feyenoord is all but done as the word is Liverpool have moved onto ironing out the details of getting his assistants too. As expected THE DATA on Slot is out and I've spent a bored Friday reading up on some. I'll immediately apologise to Jim for posting this but this slide interested me:



    It shows a few interesting things. One was obvious, but is quite shocking how bad it actually is. That's how terrible we were this season at stopping the other team. To the point where we were worse than your average German league team and we all know defence is illegal over there.

    It also shows how much we fell into lumping it forward at every given opportunity. I've mentioned how bad our build up seems to have gotten with no one in the middle in a "10/false 9" position(we don't have a Firmino type at all now). Even Trent tends to pick it up in the CDM position and try to ping the Hollywood pass every single time and it shows.

    Conversely this Feyenoord team seem a lot more patient with it. Spreading the ball about the attacking players with more patience to work an opening. This leads to the last point on shot quality. Ours is terrible. We've had a fair few games with say 20/30+ shots this season that have resulted in very few goals and the line on punditry tends to be how have they not scored so many more. I think this points out a lot on how we've maybe been forcing it.

    Leeds should have lost to us on Monday as well but we are such complete spastics at the back that we handed them three free goals so they scraped over the line.

    I think you can look at plenty of games this season where the XG count has been high but the chances weren’t great that United game at home would be a good example.

    The two defeats and the United game you can’t put in that though. It’s just down to pure bad finishing. Those three chances Diaz, Nunez and Salah all missed on Wednesday night just before half-time one of them has to go in. If it does you probably win the game as Everton looked out on their feet at the end of that half.

    The team isn’t in a terrible state but I think there’s more work to be done than has been made out. Still need a top-quality defensive midfielder and then depending on what happens with Salah in the summer we need at least one if not two top quality forwards and that isn’t happening.

    I’ve said it a lot down the past 5 or so years where Liverpool have been lauded as being brilliantly run. We haven’t been, we’ve had one of the best managers in the world of the past 15 years and we got lucky with the Coutinho money and flogging a load of youngsters off for money they were never worth to Bournemouth and the like which funded signing Alisson, Van Dijk and Fabinho. There’s no magic formula there.

    The xG was high but the chances weren't great. We weren't brilliantly run, we just appointed the best manager and signed the best players and sold players for the best price. I'm not a don, I just have massive girth and an incredible mind.

    I think selling your cast-offs for inflated fees is just downstream of being successful rather than luck and/or business genius. United used to have willing buyers for their rubbish, and City seem to shuffle some absolute nobody on every year for a you wot mate fee.

    Disappointed he isn't called Slott as it undermines my theory that the data might have had a numerological [is that the term? Letterological?] slant, consonant, l, o, repeated consonant.

    I'm not sure who is classed as shite that we managed to get overinflated money for either, Brewster, Ward, any others? Any of the ones we get money for are usually solid deals for both parties (Solanke, Wilson, Williams) owing to the fact we don't tend to allow shite through the door in the first place.
