Liverpool v Brighton Match Thread

Not open for further replies.
So where are the non-believers who thought top 4 was gone?

As I predicted post Roma 2nd leg. The Chelsea result wouldn’t matter and we’d do Brighton sideways with a week long rest. The team are going on holiday now then back for some training. Then we’ll dick Madrid.

I have to blow my own trumpet because as I’m married nobody else will do it.

That week long rest was just what we needed. We had pace and movement back and that’s what is our main weapons.

Great to see Solanke and Robertson score.

I asked prematch if friend was still shit. A few posters said yes. They were right.

If you wash your trumpet maybe your wife will blow it ?
 
Brighton comprehensively outplayed and beaten. I was dreading this game but thankfully they ended up making it look easy.

What the fuck happened with Chelsea?

Why were Alonso and Fabregas on the bench? Barkley starting?

It's almost like a final fuck you by Conte. Had I have known, I wouldn't have bothered worrying this whole time.

Rafa happened.

Thought he'd do a number on Chelsea today.
 
4-0, 4th, CL footy next season, unbeaten at home and 84 goals scored and 38 conceded goals in 38 games.
Improvements all around.

Top it of with a CL final in 2 weeks time.
Lovely, just fucking lovely.

Less points but otherwise a decent league campaign all things considered

Mad that Milner didn't score in the league this season.
 
1 point less, which doesnt mean much given we’re playing a CL final in 2 weeks.

I agree except in regard to your statement that we improved all round.

We didn't in terms of points but I'll gladly take that to even play in CL final again.

We'll be seen as a club to join again all over the world after this seasons run.
 
We won fairly comfortably in the corresponding match against Middlesbrough last season, but today we looked different class. Could have won by a lot more.

if we win it yes - because it will be the main memory/impression that people will have in their heads, and in a perverse kind of way it will be good that it is against Real Madrid as most of the world think Barca/Madrid are the biggest and best clubs in the world even though we know that their league is comical at best.

But as Klopp pointed out this season - we actually competed on two fronts this season - in terms of fighting for a top 4 position, and progressing in the CL to the final itself. So there has been a significant improvement this season - but again injuries and the disruption with Coutinho fucking off mid-way (although that may have been a good thing).

I DON’T like to start on a bit of a downer and that, but someone needs to do something about these referees, mate.
That fucker Friend wants fucking legging out of the city boundaries, like fucking Thelma and Louise, but instead of a load of bizzies, it is Andy Robertson and a squad of absolute ket wigs legging him on foot biting at his fat fucking heels. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a squarer-looking man, he is like a fucking episode of Rainbow. Oblong prick. I hope someone sticks Zippy up his arse on the way home.
Seriously, someone needs to intervene with these referees mate, it’s beyond a joke. Over the course of a season it’s hard to see how we win the league when these fuckers won’t give us a carrot. I’m not a lover of VAR but give me a robot all fucking day long ahead of these friggers, Krytren or fucking Robocop will do. Refbot ultras lad, all day.
Anyway, sound The Reds, aren’t they?
Karius: 7
Nothing to do except look all spring like in his lovely lemon kit and then bladder their lad when the liner couldn’t be arsed giving offside. Like his decision making, in that he makes a decision and sticks to it. Is right, lad. Did you see Big Mig in the kit. As opposed to spring time he looked like Bananaman. Is right, Miggy.
Trent: 8
Was boss, weren’t he? Looks like he’s been playing for years. What an idol. Role model, Scouser, Golden Samba winner, absolute captain later, isn’t he?
Degsy: 9
Speaking of which; captain, leader, legend today there, wasn’t he? Not sure I’ve ever celebrated a goal by screaming “disallow that, you square fucker” before, but Degsy did the same, didn’t bother celebrating, just bollocked the referee for that pen nonsense. Man of the match. Ran up for his goal from by ours and took off on a trampoline. Is right, lad.
Big Virg: 10
Like a thoroughbred horse, isn’t he? Fucking Red Rum or something. If we lashed him in the parade ring mate, you would have people saying look at this beautiful specimen. He’s marvellous. Have him an eight but jacko made me change it to a 10. Sound.
Robbo: 9
Grafted harder than my Gmail on Friday there, but got some reward with his goal as opposed to me getting a big ballot bin bag. Honest to god, if artificial intelligence was a bit more advanced Siri would have jumped out me phone there Friday and give me a good hiding and a thorough lesson in how the email system works. You don’t need to refresh your email, you baldy fucker. It literally let’s you know when you get one. You have been getting emails since 1998, you fucking idiot.
Henderson: 8
It is absolutely incredible to me that he gets any stick whatsoever. He is great. Marvellous. He will win the European Cup in two weeks and have people slagging him as not being good enough to captain the club. Have a think about that, boys.
Gini: 8
Was great, wasn’t he? Loves a home game in The Lying Rag.
Firmino: 8
Could have had six today but was boss as per.
Salah: 9
Has won everything there is to win this season and will cap it off with a big European Cup win. If he follows it up by having a funeral ceremony for “we won it five times, in Istanbul, we won it fives times” and it’s never sung again I’ll get his face tattooed on my face.
Sadio: 8
Was sound there trying to set Mo up when he could have just scored instead. Every decision he made was then wrong for a bit but it doesn’t really matter, does it. I bet he can’t wait to get after Madrid’s crabs.
Dom Head: 9
Was working on a Solanke/Solange Knowles joke for most of the first half. Not sure what it is but its got some legs. Solanke goals, Solange Knowles, I don’t know. Reckon Firmino is Beyoncé or something. Any road, thought he was great there. Stretched the game, freed up loads of space, was absolutely made up when he scored. Is right, Dom lad. If you like it you should have lashed it in the top bin or whatever. It needs work.

SUBS
Lallana:
Thought he looked really sharp, you know. Boss first sub to recharge The Reds’ batteries in Kiev.
Ben Woodburner:
Secret weapon, him.
Danny Ings:
Thought he scored. Got the posture of a croissant (copyright of Adam Melia).
 
Some BRILLIANCE in there.

if artificial intelligence was a bit more advanced Siri would have jumped out me phone there Friday and give me a good hiding and a thorough lesson in how the email system works. You don’t need to refresh your email, you baldy fucker. It literally let’s you know when you get one. You have been getting emails since 1998, you fucking idiot.

Amazing

Closely followed by ‘I’ll get his face tattooed on my face’ and ‘If you like it then you shoulda lashed it in the top corner’

Hahahaha
 
Great interview from Van Dijk:


He was outstanding yesterday.
25 goals conceded in the League before before he signed, and 13 after.
Not only his benefit obviously, Robbo and Karius have been a big part of that as well.
 
Hahaha.

Yeah, some genius lines in there.

I especially like 'Disallow that you square fucker' cos it's quite similar to what I was screaming at the telly.
 
So we can win games without Buvac, is the happy lesson from yesterday. Fuck your brain Buvac, 11 fit players is all we need.

BTW, can anyone get a link up for us in MOTD last night?
 


Wish I was there. Looks like great atmosphere – a mix of celebration and anticipation.


I was seated in there yesterday pretty much where the play button is, it was a good atmosphere, but I was stuck next the most miserable bastard of all time, it was like the Brendon of real human beings. I think the only player of ours that he liked was VVD, he had it in for the ref and every one of our players including Mo.

Soz about that.
