This one is on Isak, without his little hissy fit we win that in the first half, Liverpool were pony, they didn't know how to cope with us at all, we were all over them and you could see them desperate to slow the game down and try and keep the ball, they didn't know what to do with it and took to lumping it forward only to see it keep coming back at them. I thought the ref didn't have control of the game and there was definitely opportunities to level it up to 10v10 as Liverpool kept getting away with it. Even at 10v11 we were the better team at times, Bruno and Burn the stand out players in a dogged and warrior like display. But at 2-2 and injury time it had a feeling of inevitability, I said to the Mrs that I was prepared for the sucker punch, the scabby scouse scum always seem to get a slice of luck just at the right time and they did again, undeservedly so. Hopefully we get a striker in ASAP and we kick on from here, we have a very good team now and the depth of the squad is so much better than before, the substitutes last night felt like we didn't lose anything when they came on and I think we're in for a good season with one or two more additions before the window shuts. I just hope we smash these plastics at Anfield, they've got it coming, I've never known a luckier team, infuriating.

I hate these jammy pricks more than anyone

Game over

Can't stand to hear the scouse freaks saying Isackkkcckk and Eckkckckkiteeeeekckckkckkkeeeee

Liverpool by proxy all hatred is acceptable

Genuinely starting to feel like a concerted effort to hamper us, an unspoken rule between clubs not pushing the limits of PSR and those that don't have to abide to PSR

JSL, Wissa or Jackson, I don't care now and I don't care what price, that's not my problem, just get a striker in that can score and lets put this sorry summer behind us

New contract, bumper pay rise, transfer clause of £130m abroad, £200m domestically and an agreement that when it happens his agent doesn't get a bean.

I hope we smash them tonight and he's sat at home watching and regretting his decisions, crying into his LFC mug

The ambivalence of excitement and trepidation, I'm not confident of a win but I hope we give them a game at least, a hell pit of noise and disdain from the crowd and intensity and aggression on and off the ball, don't give them an inch, don't let them settle. Hit them fast, hit them hard, send their wingbacks home crying and all 10 outfielders bruised and battle scarred. We've got to let them know they're in a game and we won't make anything easy for them. I have zero doubt Howe will have us fired up for this, there's no shortage of rage bait available to fuel the fires. I just hope someone, anyone, has their shooting boots on tonight because it's got to come from somewhere! An ingenuitive set piece might be our way in.

Too much emotion being put into people's responses to this, understandably so as fans, but the club won't think that way, they'll only be bothered about how to get the maximum out of a bad situation and if that requires a contract renegotiation then so be it.

It's the increased length that covers the cost of the contract by thinning out the amortisation

I hope they do come in with another bid and instead of knocking it straight back we mess them around for the week and make out like we're gonna fold only to back out on Sept 1st and leave them with no options

Honestly one of the worst matches I've ever had to endure but Burnley are winning so I'm not turning it off

I wonder who our annihilation will be this season, hope its the Mackems, at least 5 goals

Ouattara scored, so yes hopefully that helps us out.

1-1 with us getting the equaliser in the dying embers of the game by sheer willing the ball into the net

Not possible, the double reflective domes would blind anyone in a 2 mile radius

I agree it would galvanise us further but any dirty trick they can muster.

I wouldn't put it past the dippers to try our hand on Monday for maximum damage, they know they won't get him but they'll table a bid Monday morning for circa £130m to try and unsettle us as much as possible before the game.

Keep your faux praise you slap-headed nonce.

We've got an abundance of RB options to allow us to move Tino over to the left, Tripps has played left plenty of times in a pinch and we even have BDB if the worst comes to the worst. Its not a dire need for this window.

We should have really stipulated it was "match highest wage at NUFC" that Ronaldo contract really killed our PSR.

This is why I think a new contract is so important, as much as Isak doesn't "deserve" anything for his actions, it is absolutely in everyone's best interest that the whole thing is renegotiated.
