United post-match delirium

[FoxForceFive]

There is no such thing as long or shot balls. Only right or wrong balls.

That's a Shankly quote isn't it? Or close to one anyway.

 

[FoxForceFive]

Or was it paisley? It was one of them said it.

 

[Woland]

I've got wrong balls

 

[Farkmaster]

Klopp has big balls.

Since Mo has pulled his shirt off I can't get Groundskeeper Willie out of my head.

You noodle-armed wee girl!

 

[Woland]

No mention of wrong balls. Discrimination that

 

[Athens]

I remember when Dennis Bergkamp, Dennis Bergkamp, Dennis Bergkamp, scored that goal against the Argies there was loads of blow hard football fans saying it wasn't that good, it was just a long ball over the top.

Love this one:

8) But then that is the nature of trying to beat this particular game of whack-a-mole. Whereas Manchester City’s strength at their peak was the almost mechanic way of scoring the exact same goal – dragging opponents out of position before a wide forward squares it for a teammate to score from six yards – Liverpool are the exact opposite. They have so many different ways of inflicting pain and pressure that succumbing to one of them is inevitable.
It could be a Firmino flick, some Salah magic, a sudden burst and finish from Mane, Divock Origi tripping over his own shoelaces and accidentally arsing it in or Georginio Wijnaldum finishing a sublime team move. It could come from a press, a counter-press, a Gegenpress or just some impressive skill. The only certainty is that it will happen.
In this instance Liverpool took the simplest route – Alexander-Arnold crossing for a Van Dijk header – to extend their run of scoring in consecutive Premier League games to 31. You can cover as many holes as you like but you will run out of plugs long before they run out of ideas.

Whoever said that - has got it spot on, that is what separates us from City, and also another point about City, they have the ball so much, that their actual experience of in-game defending has probably gotten worse over the last year. It is not a surprise that those defenders whom they played big money for are not really performing - they have hardly needed to practice their skill of defending much due to City's high ball retention rate, and occupying the opposition half. They have lost the habit of defending.

He really is a horrible little twit. It must bite at him hard inside that he is deep down a Liverpool fan and everyone at old toilet knows it.

I know it was disallowed but Gini's goal was basically the definition of carving them open.

Aaaah, Rio....

Ah, finally the right use of a fucking Snapchat or whatever filter

Another angle:

Loved Robertson, "luckily Mo got the goal at the end so we got to relax for about 20 seconds".

Your last argument seems something off of Blue Fume. “We are so spectacularly good, that we’re bad. We are literally too good to win this crap league, because we never get to practice defending.”

The best part about the game (other than Alisson celebrating with Mo) was after Virg scored the first he jogged along the touch line and looked over at the away fans with a disgusted look as if to say 'Yeah what you saying now you cunts'

 

[Insignificance]

Another angle:

Mata and De Geas faces at the end there. Priceless.

Klopp gets a hug from the owners

John Henry with a robotlike hug. Surprised his face didnt fall off.
