The Official Liverpool FC Thread [Vol 19]

[Chris Stott]

Personally, I thought Nunez was having a decent game before his moment of stupidity. Making good runs, getting in good positions and linking up well.

[Flip Martian]

Klopp talked about it was like there was a witch in the building this week - injuries and niggles. What the hell is going on in training?!

I’d drop my m. for you fella, and would love to meet for a pint as is always the case with a decent football fan of whatever persuasion.

I think if we had ORD I’d blow a gasket

The Sky review of the sending off makes it all the more stupid

I agree.

My initial thought was he should have gone down when shoved. But then saw the replay that had him having a first head dig at the defender.

Stupid.

Felt he was dangerous before that.

Diaz is the real deal.

I think they got rid of the wrong one out of Salah and Mane...

I know VvD's pace was never his strongest suit...but felt he should have kept sprinting for the first goal. He seemed to back off right at the wrong time. Get further in front of Zaha and I doubt there'd have been a goal.

Season's far from over. Very far. But Liverpool need to be far less wasteful. And I think Klopp needs to have a Plan B in games that aren't clicking.

The thing about us pessimists is that we’ve been right (about Utd) for a decade :-)

[Chris Stott]

How do we have a plan b when we can barely field a full senior team at kick off?

Combination of injuries and lack of squad depth doesn’t really leave many options. W

I've always had loads of time for Cie aswell.

I don't mind ORD either, but he does get a bit too carried away most of the time though I reckon!

You’ve got 20 to catch up, maybe I’ll get you a pint of Gamma Ray

Our bench was really weak for me tonight, and that worries me a bit for the long term.

That was violent or headbutt. Yellow card at the most.

Pass the crack pipe

Violent, red and deserved a flying nads kick from Klopp

Yep, obviously there’s the piss taking which is to be expected but any sensible fans can talk football. If I talk about United though it won’t be just a pint, I’d be setting about the spirits and shots.

I think Raja is the undisputed king in that department.

Witches, that’s what’s going on. It’s almost like a parody account takes over Klopp post match to say the most stupid things and the most incredible excuses. Dry pitches, wind and now witches! Would be nice just to see a bit of humility and praise the opposition from time to time when less superior teams manage to get a result against you.

[Adam.]

And then you have the WUMs you would never want to buy a pint

[Cie]

Possibly taking it too far but how about buying them a Fosters

[Adam.]

With a top at a push

[Da Original Whyayedee]

Wait, so someone criticising something, which I happen to believe is some genuine criticism, I think Klopp is pretty disrespectful post match is just yelled at “Wum….. Wum”

You know this is a public Internet forum right, where things can be said, challenged and debated? Or are you stuck because your retort of “go and support someone else” doesn’t work here because I do?

A top? Bloody southerners.

Just seen the full replay of the Nunez incident. He was clearly wrong and red was the right result. Let's not over blow it though - the kid is young and he will learn from this. He needs to be a bit more street smart in these situations and that will come with experience and the right advice in his ear.

As for the witches comment, clearly we have picked up an unusually high number of injuries. It was clearly making light of the sitaution again - dont try and twist that into something that wasn't meant anything more than a joke.
