I don't think we can call foul play about their goals tbh. If we had one disallowed for that I'd be fuming.
AVB 0 - Liverpool 5Thing is though.. would you rather go all out guns blazing and possibly get spanked or go Jose ball and lose in a tight game
Look at Alexander-Arnold giving it the biggun on Instagram
Trent Alexander-Arnold taunts Jose Mourinho after Liverpool beat Tottenham
He couldn't resist.metro.co.uk
Such an arrogant prick and like most of the Liverpool team has a very punchable face.
This is clearly cheating.
This is clearly cheating.
That's not Firmino who makes the run, it's Williams. Firmino is being picked up by Toby (or Kane?).Yeah, that's a foul.
It's not that Henderson's nudge is a heavy shove, it's the fact that it distracts Dier at the exact moment that Firmino starts his run.
This gives Firmino that 2ft head start on Dier, as he speeds toward the 6 yard box.
So Dier has to make a decision; does he stand up and chase Firmino, and probably not catch him, or does he signal to the officials that he's been fouled, by going down.
Tbh I think he made the right decision. If he had have chased after Firmino, he wouldn't have caught him, Firmino would have scored and no one would be talking about the foul on Dier. We'd just be saying that Dier lost his man.
Small margins at the elite level, so it's deeply frustrating that VAR didn't pick it up.
In this context, I'm pretty sure that I saw something last night that we suspected was becoming part of their game plan. When Salah was held up by one of our defenders on the edge of our box, he simply lofted the ball at close range into the blocking player. It was neither a shot nor an attempted pass, but its purpose was clearly to attempt to play the ball at the defender's arm to claim a penalty. By good discipline and good fortune, the defender managed to avoid it striking his arm. Did anyone else see it?Teams should literally do all they can to try to condense the ball away from the last third of their own goal by hook or by crook, because if the fail to do that Liverpool either get a soft penalty they get or a lucky knock down, or someone loses concentration,or they get away with some shithousery as Henderson did last night and they pounce. It's infuriating.
Yeah I agree, we may well fall short for the league. I think we may well get a pot of some description though which along with CL qualification I'd snap up all day long.Overall this season so far we have probably exceeded expectations in the league, we are doing well with what we have available but I think we will fall short of actually winning it.
Jose still needs a few more players in to mount a serious challenge hopefully next year, if we get CL this time around I would be pleased with to that.
Lol, some of the posts I'm reading this morning are both pathetic and yet expected.
When we laugh at the state of other teams forum threads, just take a look here to see as a fan base were no different.
We narrowly lost for the first time in 12 games to the reigning champions(at their place), in a game that their own captain said was their best performance of the season.
On another day with better finishing it possibly goes the other way imo as the chances we created were better overall than Pools.
Jeez some of you really need to get a grip.
We have now played all the supposed pre season title challengers and sit 3 points behind the leaders.
We are in a very good spot right now, and are still not the finished article.
We finished miles behind this lot last year, get some perspective for the love of God.
