Just back from the match and haven't read anything on here yet, but that was the most shithouse Derby I can remember us playing since the Houllier Goodison when Carsley scored their winner. Maybe even worse.
If he'd have picked the same side as Weds we'd have fucked them 6-0. But he shit out, and it filtered right through the team. It was horrible to watch, and so fucking obvious as it unfolded.
As for Lovren. There's nothing left to say.
You're missing the point, Solanke and Ox, in the first half were in consequential. Surely Coutinho and Firmino would given us more and we could have been a couple of goals to the good. The game was marginal and we dropped points because we didn't kill it off. Starting our strongest team offered more of a guarantee. We ultimately created two clear chances, the goal from individual brilliance and the Mane chance.
Nothing was wrong with it, just people throwing their toys out of the pram as usual.
That team did more than enough to win, and there are two key incidents in the game.
Mane not squaring the ball for 2-0 and that Horrendous penalty decision.
Lovren shouldnt have his hands up, but no ref should ever give a penalty for such minimal contact. Awful.
As if in hell if we played it into Allardyce's hands. He's probably smiling cause he cant believe how lucky they got.
They were beaten all over the park by a far superior team and would have lossed if not for an incompetent referee and an egoistical Mane.

Did you expect them to go toe to toe with us?
They packed the defence and let us faff about with it outside the box and lob it in to Solanke. We have a history of struggling against teams that sit back and pack the defence. I have no issues with how they played. Defending is part of the game too. Just because they conceded a load of possession doesn't mean we beat them all over the park. They let us have it and packed their box and we struggled. Lump it up towards Lovren and chase him down and you always have a chance because he's fucking terrible. Their tactics were spot on and we gave them a greater chance of getting a result with our team selection.
The game was crying out for Coutinho to lure them out and beat men, maybe pick a clever pass. We needed Firmino's movement and ability to create. Solanke didn't offer any of that. Had those two played, we might have created another goal or two out of nothing - just as Salah did.
I actually don't like Mane.
I think the point he was making is that parked bus or not we should easily have been three or four goals up in that game before they got the dodgy penalty.... park the fucking bus and had a very very lucky bus...we played well, we didn’t win but we played well.
If anyone wants to form a lynch mob and kill lovren then I'm in.
Ermmmm... all of them I can’t remember perhaps but certainly the missed header by Salah makes three...Four goals? Four? Two with the Mane chance. Bar that we created nothing.
We didn't play well. We had a lot of the ball but didn't do enough with it.
Ermmmm... all of them I can’t remember perhaps but certainly the missed header by Salah makes three...
Numerous dangerous crosses across the area as well...
We had three totally guilt edged chances...
Against a totally parked bus...
A totally parked bus who were gifted a goal they truly didn’t deserve...
It was one of the most one sided derby games I’ve ever seen and a lot of that was down to the fact that we bossed that match...
Bossed it but got robbed...
Each to their opinion I suppose
Imagine changing a team that just twatted Moscow 7 nil a few days ago. What a fucking dick.
Don't get me wrong. When we play like we did on Weds it's great... but Klopp has serious issues with changing things round for the sake of it. I think he thinks he's better than he is and he's arrogant. Fat Sam just played him for the 4th time on the bounce. What does that tell you?
He's got to learn or he can fuck off.
Klopp has got to learn or he can fuck off....
Stunning.
I'd forgotten about the Salah header. That was a difficult chance and he did well to get it as close as he did. I wouldn't class that a golden chance.
Fair enough, but if I was a manager and I was playing against Liverpool and didn't have a top side, I'd do exactly what Everton did today. It's the most effective way to stop us. They deserved the draw for how they defended.
Klopp did learn, the Christmas period and a failure to rotate fucked our entire season last year.
Exactly, we've rotated very well so far this month, and I include todays game, it's going to massively benefit us when are best players are still fresh throughout Christmas and January.Klopp did learn, the Christmas period and a failure to rotate fucked our entire season last year.
Ok then, rest them and lose points.Yeh, we should just play the fab four every game then scratch our heads when they look completely shagged and start picking up injuries from the middle of December til the end of the season.
