Well Mikus he wouldn’t come to Anfield to play second fiddle and he isn’t as good as our front 3 to dislodge them. If the argument about having enough games is true why hasn’t Klopp gone a bought someone to rotate with them? I get a feeling the squad status is always underestimated when fans talk about signings. The counter argument about hitting the ground running is void as he wouldn’t and didn’t come in the first place.

Regarding his season thus far, Pulisic has had a couple of good games in a row but it’s still too early to say if he’s been a success or not. Mount and Abraham have still had far more influence so far on Chelsea’s season.

We could do with extra support up front dont get me wrong, but it would be a young player with the potential not a 60m plus guy.

Regarding our front 3 it’s easy to dismiss Salah as he isn’t hitting the heights of 2 seasons ago. Mane is the main man now, but maybe he is getting so much space as Salah is occupying defenders so much? For the team the front 3 is working very well, if not hitting the individual highs of previous years.

My point of posting the clip with Andy Gray (and apologies that it was pretty much the same as the post from Mikus, he posted his just as I was finishing off mine!) is not if the rules of offside need improving or better explanations or if the technology is sufficient for the task. It’s that the cretins that sit in front of a screen with all this technology still manage to make a total balls up. That clip shows Atkinson trying his best to show that the original decision was correct even when it clearly isn’t. Why? To come up with some BS about armpits is just deflecting the attention away from their own obvious failings.

Even Mr Gray, who as Nil would say hates us :p is saying it’s wrong. He even shows that the new line is angled to meet Atkinson’s agenda.

The whole system is corrupt, inept and a total farce.

“If you’re armpits offside then you’re offside.”

Except it wasn’t. I don’t believe the officials have an agenda against Liverpool, or City, or any team, but they have an agenda to back their fellow referees up or maybe to even out previous contentious decisions against a particular club. You could see in real time during the Liverpool game Atkinson (the VAR numpty for this game) actually change his line so that the original offside decision was correct.

The whole VAR is a crocked pile of crap that’s rotten to the core. It’s made the game worse. All you have to do is look to see what pundits, fans and now managers are saying. I really don’t get this give it time to iron out the mistakes nonsense, they need to remove it before it’s too late.

“but it’s not like Liverpool didn’t know they were competing in the Club World Cup in December “

Nine you make it sound like the situation is Liverpool’s fault, what exactly did you expect them to do? Forfeit the tie? Play the kids increasing our chance of losing? Oh wait we did that.

The EFL had known that an English team would be playing in the Club World Cup as early as 8th May so surely they should of foreseen the chance this situation could occur and shoulder the blame?

Missed the first half but just seen Keita head straight down the tunnel. Is he injured? Sounds like he was not having the best game anyway.

“..but who knows?”

Well you used to HH, miss your mate Lucas much?

That team looks likely to me, except the goalie. Pep Lijinders confirmed the young Irish lad will start.

Think it will be a high scoring game, 4-2.

V.D Berg is 18 in December so I think that makes him too old for the U17s.

He certainly didn’t play in the 3-0 spanking by Japan yesterday. Hoever did.

Hoever is away at the U17 World cup so does pose a bit of a dilemma for the back line. Neco Williams might be in line for his debut I’ve heard.

Mav, if a player cannot get the ball without going through the player first then the best thing he can do is not go for the ball in that instance. If he delayed his actions he might not have fouled Mane. He might of not known Mane was actually there as Mane nipped in front of him but that is no excuse, he should be more aware of his surroundings. Clear pen for me.

Despite playing one of the big teams I can see Liverpool resting most of their first team. Fully expect Gomez, Milner, Ox, Keita, Origi, Lallana and Adrian to be supplemented by youngsters like Brewster and Elliot. My concerns would be who can play the full back positions and who can give Fabinho a rest? Fabinho is one booking away from an automatic suspension, maybe he should play this and get a yellow to ensure he is available for City? He really should of thought of that last game 😀

What’s your opinion on the Xhaka incident Steveo? I’ve not seen it but it didn’t read too well for him.

Agree 100% Mak, Fabinho was clear MOTM for me. We are used to seeing him as a player to break up play but yesterday he was a deep-lying playmaker and played very well. Everything went through him, he dictated the pace of the game by changing play quickly and showed a very good range of passing.

Adlab of course you don’t go rolling around, you’re not competing in multi million pound game. It’s not that footballers are as you say fairies, it’s that they will do almost anything to gain any advantage. It’s the game these days, and Kane has been one of the most clever for some time.

Regarding the game i cant believe any pundit that would say spurs were tactically spot on. Theres nothing wrong with going defense and restricting the other team to poor chances like utd did last week for 75 minutes but Liverpool had some very good chances. It was just bad finishing and great goal keeping that kept Spurs ahead for so long, Poch’s tactics were terrible. The liverpool full backs practically had freedom of the pitch.

Nil, can’t see Ox and Keita both starting, the team was far too open in midweek and that was against Genk, Spurs is a different challenge entirely. Maybe one will start as we are at Anfield, probably Ox as he was taken off maybe with an eye on this game. Klopp certainly has a few choices to make and hopefully means we are a bit more flexible when facing different opposition.

Apparently sterling was checked for offside and deemed on. If he’s on then correct decision.

Turned it off so cant comment. But the yellow for Grealish was very harsh thought Sterling took a little tumble to con the ref. Since then he’s been targeted and Silva again tried to buy a yellow for him.

Exactly as Pagan said. The only debate should of been was Sterling offside or not and I believe he was. Being right in front of the goalie with the ball passing you by millimeters then you are interfering with play.

Harsh on Villa. 2nd goal should of been disallowed but VAR has made refereeing worse so no surprise they messed that one up.

Mings could of done better for the goal but that’s one heck of a goal line clearance.
