    The second swing of the leg to make sure Calvert Lewin was a reflex then?

    I was initially on the fence, but the more you think about it, the more it is just a clear foul.

    However accidental it is, he's still impeded him from playing the ball and scoring a goal.

    It's one thing bombing your title defence, but losing the derby at Anfield surely isn't happening.

    That is never a penalty and the fact that the ref was called to look again shows the VAR official feels so too. That he half heartedly glances at the screen at one angle before fucking off again is even worse.

    But this should not overlook how terrible Liverpool were but for about a 10 minute spell of the 2nd half.

    You don’t get a clearer penalty. He’s away to score an open goal lol.

    Salah was an embarrassment as usual. He’s the biggest continuous diver of all time. Every game he throws himself to the floor if someone touches his arm.

    Not sure what Trent was meant to do there beyond curl up in the fetal position.

    Anyways, lol at the end of days talk. It's a season where we've been fucked by injuries in a mega way and by VAR in every other game. And lol at all the stats about defeats at Anfield etc when they're playing in empty stadiums.

    Of course it still makes a difference being home and away. Not as much, but casting it aside in a hissy after a defeat is a bit of a leap.

    We haven’t been fucked by VAR any more or less than any other team. Get a grip.

    The end of days thing is simply from watching the way the players play at the minute. There is no intensity in our play - that doesn’t come from having two quality centre backs.

    We’re the 10th best team away from home too, so your comments about our home form don’t hold much form. We’re still the second best home team, in fact.

    Anyone who thinks that wasn't a penalty in the Liverpool game is an absolute retard. Alexander-Arnold made 100% sure he was bringing him down.

    Without having watched all their games in detail, Liverpool simply strike me as a side on the other side of the bell curve. You can arrest that with rejuvenation, as various sides/managers have shown in the past, but bringing a purring Thiago into midfield is not rejuvenation - they need fresh energy more than class. Ferguson used to be the master at this. He'd keep the parts he needed (Giggs, usually) and recruit well to build his next team while keeping the floor high.

    I'm not sure Klopp has built a second side before in his career, so it'll be an interesting test for him. I think he will probably need to abandon his boy Bobby Firmino who seems to me always to have been his favourite.

    Well it comes from having our first choice midfielders in midfield, rather than stuck at center back.

    Maybe I'm just in denial but I don't see how bringing back Van Dijk, getting Henderson and Fabinho back in the midfield, and Jota off the bench (plus shunting Thiago to Catalonia where he belongs) wouldn't have them challenging for the title again. Plus the stadium crowds (home or away) for INTENSITY. Klopp definitely deserves a lot of the blame in terms of motivation, but it has really been night and day since the pandemic started.

    I think it's almost become a bit too ploddy. Liverpool in the previous 2 seasons, beat teams through tiring them out with and without the ball. The press seems less effective now and it's not helping that Salah is the only forward looking likely to score. The ball also moves too slowly now.

    Jota was helping massively before the injury, but perhaps one more is needed to come in and freshen things up.

    We played the game with our 6th and 7th choice CBs. That would fuck every club in the world up, this is not some fucking bigger problem than simply that.

    Got fucking idiots saying Salah, Mane and Firmino have lost it

    That is probably the most stonewall penalty i have ever seen. Its totally irrelevant whether Trenty can “do anything about it”. He’s sitting in front of DCL for shits sake

    Any of these Spurs fans that convinced themselves Mourinho wasn't an absolute shadow of himself.n

    Remember when they were title contenders about 6 weeks ago. When will the media learn that what happens in October has nothing to do with where you are in March.

    He left London during the pandemic and worked in his home village in Lancashire delivering fruit and vegetables to those in need.
    He needs an MBE for that. Also, turns out he didn't win the play-offs but smashed the 2nd Division title. He's lost two play-off finals, both with Preston. And, yes, it's a plate.

    Did Gary Neville just say John Stones hockey checking Aubameyang was 'easing him out'?

    I've genuinely got no concept of how a good 70% of the core rules of football work anymore.
