Merry Christmas...it's December Football 2019

[Smjffy]

Alisson saved us on more than one occasion and you sense we sort of got away with that. Plus side is we were shit but still won. Firmino for me was the worst on our side, it just seemed like nothing was sticking for him, very sloppy in possession and not for the first time in the last few weeks. Shaq non-existent, TAA walking a tight rope. Hopefully Gini injury isn't too bad but quite honestly, I'll be glad to get away from the league for a bit now. At 1-0 I was bracing myself for the inevitable late leveller and Watford would probably have deserved it.

The old saying though, it's a sign of champions....I'll really start to believe by the end of January but right now as awesome as it is, we've been stung far too many times so really trying not to get ahead.

[John]

What's happened to you Smiff? Talking to you about Liverpool has always been like talking to a dog about dinner time.

[Shindig]

Didn't realise how severe our injury list was. Could be tricky today.

[Lewis]

What's happened to you Smiff? Talking to you about Liverpool has always been like talking to a dog about dinner time.

If he got excited now and they collapsed it would be the end of him, so it's a pretty smart approach.

[Giggles]

Watford could easily have won by 2 or 3 with their shooting boots on.

Something about these early kick offs does not suit Liverpool.

How? They win them all.

[Smjffy]

If he got excited now and they collapsed it would be the end of him, so it's a pretty smart approach.

Wasn't this suggested the season Gerrard slipped? Rafa's fact season? Probably last season too if I was posting on here more often. I'm well versed in dealing with Liverpool fucking it. I'm cautious at the moment because it's all going too well and it has been for nearly two years.

I think I died a couple of years ago and now I'm in my own world six feet under. Liverpool, life, health, mind etc all good. Everton and United being shit probably confirms it.

Something's brewing....

[Lewis]

Let's not include 'Rafa' as a near miss. He famously didn't have what it took to win the Premier League.

[Danny]

Right decision in the end but how has it taken that long to give that. Its obvious as soon as you see the first replay.

[John Arne]

I've just noticed that we are 17pts clear of Man City :/

[Spikey M]

It's going to take a full month of Bambi on ice to fuck it from here. I told you all in August (possibly September) that this is Liverpools year.

[Smjffy]

Arsenal fan tomorrow.

[Gray Fox]

Next up for Leicester is City away. Must win for both teams you feel.

[John]

I'm only half watching but it appears to me West Ham could have had about four penalties here. For two massive blokes Antonio and Haller topple very easily, but there's been definite contact every time.

[Waffdon]

That Everton team is amazing. 532 with two wingers accompanying Tom Davies in midfield. Could be ugly.

[Waffdon]

Rangers are going to go bankrupt again soon enough spending £7m on chavs like Ryan Kent. He is dreadful.

[Waffdon]

Alfredo Morelos might be the funniest player since Peak Suarez. Such a beautiful, stupid bastard.

[Lewis]

Right. That's the game. 1-0 defeat incoming.

[randomlegend]

Anyone got a decent stream for the Utd game?

[Lewis]

I don't like Harry Maguire as captain. I don't have an opinion on whether he is good at it, but you can't captain a team you've been at for three months.

[randomlegend]

I don't like Harry Maguire as captain. I don't have an opinion on whether he is good at it, but you can't captain a team you've been at for three months.

The only other option in that line-up is probably De Gea though, and (other than Oliver Kahn) keeper as captain is always meh.

EDIT: Found a decent stream, if anyone needs a link. http://livesoccers.tv/soccer-streams...ed-vs-everton/

[Lewis]

If Mike Phelan set them both a Club Knowing test and Maguire won then fair enough, but I would usually defer to time served.

[Lewis]

I bet Duncan Ferguson could have all nineteen opposition managers at once.

[randomlegend]

This high-line Everton are playing is suicidal; or it would be if we could finish.

[Shindig]

I bet Duncan Ferguson could have all nineteen opposition managers at once.

Only if Nigel Pearson's the end boss.

[Waffdon]

I bet Duncan Ferguson could have all nineteen opposition managers at once.

Dundee set him up well. Some bloke.

pub won’t have changed one bit from the 80s.

[randomlegend]

Fuck's sake

EDIT: I actually think that's a foul but whatever.

[Waffdon]

Fuck's sake

EDIT: I actually think that's a foul but whatever.

Oh, really?

[SvN]

It was a foul, but the refs are terrified of Big Dunc

[Lewis]

I'm blaming Luke Shaw for that one. Shit clearance, cowardly non-block, and then he lost his man on the corner.

[Giggles]

How did Utd end up with so much trash in the squad? Beggars belief with the money they have.

[Smjffy]

I don't think it was a foul tbf, his eyes were on the ball throughout. If anything it's just weak goalkeeping (but De Gea has plenty of credit in the bank) and Luke Shaw being Luke Shaw. If the result holds out then it's same old, same old as far as United go. It's one thing getting yourself up for the big games where teams come at you but if they can't break down teams then they will continue to struggle. They haven't even looked like getting past Everton outside the first 20 mins, if they do then Everton themselves will falter too as they are equally as inept at the back.

1-1 I reckon.

[Ian]

I think it's both just about a foul and crap bit of goalkeeping. Whether his eyes were on the ball isn't relevant is it?

Shaw's been bobbins as well.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

It's a foul, especially in today's football.

[randomlegend]

De Gea is looking the wrong way trying to punch the ball because otherwise he gets a hand in his face. It's a foul.

[Waffdon]

Was it a foul?

[Waffdon]

Daniel James deserves a knighthood for smacking Lingard in the face there.

[Lewis]

Aaron Wan-Bissaka would be stacking shelves if nobody had ever spotted his tackling. I don't know why he crosses the half-way line.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Daniel James deserves a knighthood for smacking Lingard in the face there.

On his (Lingard's) birthday too

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

What a tackle.

[Waffdon]

Greenwood will be superior to Rashford.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Greenwood is such a fucking finisher.

Also put £13 on him to score when he came on

[randomlegend]

Greenwood is brilliant.

[Lewis]

Maserico Machewood.

[mugbull]

86th minute and neither team has made any subs. Don't know why, maybe the bench is too much fun today

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Poor Moise Kean, he's been treated like shit at Everton.

[Waffdon]

Poor Moise Kean, he's been treated like shit at Everton.

Well, he’s been shit.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Well, he’s been shit.

He's a 19 year old who has constantly been shat on since moving to a new league.

You need to boost his confidence not stamp it out.

[Baz]

Poor Moise Kean, he's been treated like shit at Everton.

He’s garb.

[-james-]

Duncan Ferguson is a fucking idiot for doing that even if Moise Kean isn't very good.

[Smjffy]

Agreed with regards to Kean. You can't spend that sort of money on someone then proceed to rip out by shred of confidence he had. He looked dumbfounded too.
