Liverpool + Help - 1 Villa - 1 Post Match Thread

[pauliewalnuts]

We are going to be such a good side next year if this is what we can do with 2/3s of a season of actually trying.

Good away point there. Shame we could not hold on. All to play for vs Brighton.

It’s the meticulous planning that helps. The players completely believe and the players we will bring in will likely start at a higher technically and mentally. These players have stretched and extended beyond what any of us thought they could. Some will keep their places but those that don’t will provide significant strength off the bench and in the squad.

Premier League awarded MOTM to Firmino. Not even trying to hide it this week.

We are going to be such a good side next year if this is what we can do with 2/3s of a season of actually trying.

And if we're honest, at least 3-4 players who need upgrading.

[The Moose]

We are on the verge of being top four. The SKY6 will need a reset....

Well said.

I stopped following when Gakpo "equalised", so on one hand I'm a bit disappointed to see how it finally panned out, but on the other I think had I followed events, I'd be more crushed now.

But to be where we are, from where we started, just fucking wow!

Why is “equalised” in parentheses? Was it a dodgy goal? I was not watching.

PWS said it was 1-1 on the match thread, and it also changed on the BBC app. It was at that point I stopped, before I knew it had gone to VAR.

From my position behind the sofa with my fingers in my ears ,can I ask if the match has finished  yet?

Fantastic point against a side in top form, need the Saints to somehow get a point tomorrow.

I honestly think it's in our interest Brighton stick 6 past Southampton and then get something v Man. City and then they're 100% on the beach playing us.

People turning their noses up at Europa Conference but it's a competition we can do really well in. Roma won it last year and now in final of Europa league so they've used it as a springboard.

You win it and you're also in the Europa league for following season regardless of league performance.

We will skip the Europa League altogether in our progression. This club is finishing top 4 next season.

Fcukin 18 minutes in total added on to the game.  Klopp would’ve made sure that was more if he was cheating down on the sidelines.

As probably many have already said, Europe's not just important for morale, it also opens the field of players you can attract. All to the good when we're considering top four.

We looked a bit patched up at the end because of injuries and subs. Young was very poor when he came in Kamara also stood out. But the ref was so one eyed, they could foul wrestle push with impunity.

The ref got the major decisions right. The pen, the non pen for them, the disallowed L’pool goal, the Mings yellow not red. A draw was a fair result. Disappointing to concede but not the ref’s fault.

Fabinho 7 fouls probably 4 yellows amongst them, Henderson stone wall yellow, at least 3 offsides not given, 10 mins added time, yes the officials  had a great game. No bias at all for Liverpool😁

You are clearly unfamiliar with the latest refereeing directive known as 'The Anfield Allowance' which states that Fabinho will be allowed seven peristant fouls before ever being considered for a yellow card.

[VILLA MOLE]

On Radio 5 at the end they kept on going back to Anfield to tell us who the latest player to leave the club was saying goodbye on the pitch .  Hmmmm indulgent much ?

Between channel hopping I switched over to Sky Sprts News just in time to see Neves being interviewed after the Wolves game.  Re the nine minutes added time they played, when asked by the interviewer about the added time he replied 'I asked the referee about time left and he told me that referees had been directed to play the full allotted added time for the last two games of the season'.  Neves then said he made the point to the referee 'why the last two games and not the rest of the season?  which, I didn't think was an unreasonable question.
