We really do need to get him signed up for another few years.

97+....
Has it been revised upwards?
Glad he rested those players on Saturday.
Bit of a shove on Konate there, but still, brainless defending. Sweet connection from Tarkowski.
Heads have well and truly gone.
Did Slot get a yellow or red at the end there?
Looked like a red to me.
He's definitely called Oliver out over this shambles.
Everton were the better team for large parts of this match. A draw is a more than fair result.
David Moyes.
They deserve a win tbh.Originally Posted by Dquincy
The referee was clueless at everything throughout.
As much as the ref is a turd, our inability to defend from wide is the biggest shambles.
Football, bloody hell.
Title is Arsenal's to lose now.
David Moyes is criminally underrated btw.
Save for about 10 minutes worth of the game, shut us down and caused us grief with a squad far inferior.
We've got City, Forest and Liverpool coming up this month. Kingmakers.
Liverpool could lose another 4 and Arsenal won't catch them. More likely to drop out of the top 4 the rate of these injuries.
Utterly bonkers that Liverpool team have only lost once. The fuck has happened to our beautiful game
They've been 'just doing enough' all season and getting away with it. There being no real rivals helps as they've probably got about the same points as last season at this point.
Diaz as 'the nine' really needs doing away with.
Pep looking like Keegan when Ferguson rattled him.
‘I’d love it. I’d love it’. Lashing out at fans.
Guy is gone. Mentally. Retire.
115 charges incoming. That club is done.

It's a shame the rules dictate Slot couldn't do any press last night. I'd love to know what he's said to get himself immediately sent off because he's usually quite calm.
The days of old FSG would have me thinking today we would see an OFFICIAL CLUB STATEMENT being released. Though with the Wolves game right up next, he should have a presser due up very soon anyway.
2 game ban for Slot.
Hopefully he roles out a Rafa Fachts style press conference for the next game.
They got a solid point away to a local rival, I don't see the need for drama.
When you look at it in the cold light of day it's a decent point and on the balance of play probably a fair result. But, I think you can look at 3/4 pivotal moments in the match which you would call 50/50 and they all went against Liverpool.
The first goal was not a foul and was a dive for the free-kick. However, you still should defend that better.
Gueye was already on a booking and hauled back Gakpo based on other decisions in the match that should have been another booking and a sending off.
Salah was fouled in injury time on the edge of the Everton box and inexplicably he's just not given a free-kick. If it's given that probably takes the sting out of the rest of the game.
Possible foul on Konate, again anywhere else on the pitch, with no goal being scored and based on what he gives throughout the match he probably gives that as a foul. But the rest of the defending at that point in the match is unacceptable so it doesn't fall solely on the referee.
It did feel like Everton were dishing it out throughout the match without incurring free-kicks whereas if a player in red so much as breathed on an Everton player they went down and a foul was given. But, being honest I'm not exactly impartial here. You could also say similar to the Gueye situation Bradley was very lucky to still be on the pitch, but his yellow was not long after the Gueye incident and did seem to be a result of frustration with how the game was being officiated. Liverpool weren't good enough for a win though in reality and I've said it a great many times before there is no big PGMOL conspiracy the referee's are just not good enough.
Nearly
Crying in a game where Everton didn’t get a stonewall penalty is some effort
Liverpool also benefitted from a lot of things down at Bournemouth a week or so ago. If the referee spots the foul on Kluivert in the buildup to the (very fortuitous itself) penalty then Liverpool probably lose that game. They got battered.
Take the rough with the smooth.
We're on to Cincinnati.
Oh definitely and when I'm saying the balance of play I'm also saying that's probably based on the fact that Everton were the slightly better team and could of shaded it overall. Konate handball again in the Champions League it gets given, but under the Premier League made up rules it isn't a penalty. I think the worst decision from the Everton viewpoint is that Bradley probably should have been sent off, in the same manner as Gueye should have been.

This passed me by.
Get them some LV print uniforms.
Well that's an FM save ruined.
All things consider. Paris has a population of 10m with one major football team. Its about time they had some competition, not that it matters
The French hate football. One of life's great injustices that they are very good at it thanks to immigrants they have mistreated.
Been having a shit fantasy season, but managed to win £10 for best score of the game week in my 32 team league. Lovely 147 maxi thanks to triple captaining Salah (beat two other Salah triplers on 145 thanks to Neco Williams mainly)
This. Every club benefits and suffers from supposedly unfair and incorrect decisions over the course of a season. It's just a shame that Arsenal fans (hello my friend, Phonics) are the most prissy about it.
Oliver was indeed laughably bad. Missed a penalty to Everton, missed Bradley and Gueye getting probably deserved 2nd yellows. Missed the foul on Salah in injury time and at several points just ignored players with supposed head injuries. Then immediately gives a straight red for daring to be critical of him.
The good refereeing performances happen and you will never remember who did the game, but he clearly decided yesterday he wanted to be one of the stars of the show.
The League Cup Final is set for a 4:30pm kick-off. I can confirm I will be a ticketless mag.
Refereeing decisions are always bad. Liverpool just had a rare instance this season playing badly and being punished for it, usually they get away with it.
Arsenal have the opposite problem where too many times they have dominated the game only for the opposition to score a worldy with their first attack.
Like the Newcastle game, sometimes the ball is an inch wide and sometimes the ball is an inch inside the post.
That's the second 90 minutes plus centre half 'worldy' against Liverpool in the derby so you can keep your complaints about other teams scoring them against Arsenal.
Wasn’t the jagielka one about a decade ago?
It's still too many.
Shove it.
In other unlikely football news there is a campaign to make Tommy Burns a saint. I really hope at least one of the miracles he's credited with is football related. That Mellor goal would surely qualify as one for him. Chalk another one up against Oympiakos, how many do you need, two or three? Saint Neil, there can't be many of those.
I think the common theme is Michael Oliver is dreadful.
You can’t say that you’re destroying grass roots football.
There's not a chance in hell I'm watching us play Brighton away again. Only just scrubbed the last of the tzatziki off the wall from last week.
No fit senior striker at the club until April. Get ready.
(A good manager would integrate one of your very talented academy strikers)
At least we have the better keeper in this time.
Your?
