As a “neutral” here, the commentary for the last 20-30 mins (that I watched) was absolutely excruciating. If I was a Liverpool fan I’d be embarrassed. I mean, I’d be embarrassed anyway, but specifically by the relentless sycophancy.

They’ll think it was against them. Be booing their TV.

Don’t get how their fans can dare boo the ref. He gave them absolutely fucking everything. 

The last time they justifiably booed anything was when Owen went back there with us and he's basically just one of them anyway.

[SiLvOR]

At least we scored some away goals. Been a while

[Shearergol]

Haaland back for the next game?

Anyway we played better than we have recently. Green shoots. Both deserved to lose but also unlucky given the resilience and fight we showed. Proud of the lads. Onwards to the derby, play with that level of determination and we win it with ease.

That’s the spirit

[LFEE]

People going way over the top with the criticism of our performance. 
 

As for the two penalties. Don’t get me started. Surely what VAR was brought in to correct ??‍♂️

Everyone hate Drury yet? Getting it now?

 

Not something I've noticed before, buy blatantly tugging over everything Liverpool did tonight.

On another day it could have been 8 or 9 but goalkeepers having a blinder are part of the game. We were never out of the game until that diving twat took it out of reach. As long as you've got Isak you have a chance.

His Pes career with big Jim Beglin was enjoyable 

 

Thankfully it was Tony Gubba and Jon Champion when I played it.

[jackyboy]

Much better performance and showed a lot of fight. Unfortunately Longstaff is jut too weak at this level.

Unfortunately this is the case every single game. We give him absolutely nothing

Our midfield is cack at the minute. Don’t create much and don’t protect the defence either. Hope to god we can get people like Willock back.

[Armchair Pundit]

Didn't think we were as bad as some, looked a bit more like we are starting to get things together again. Unfortunately, undone by Liverpool's dark arts again and strange officiating decisions. Were Liverpool better than us? Clearly better in attack and conning the ref, us being able to keep level until late on again shows we're capable though, just need a bit more umph and some new blood to lift us. Aside from the homer officials though, it's the commentary having a wankfest over the scum that gets me most annoyed.

Villa and City will be licking their lips. They'll destroy us. The Mackems will probably start to feel confident too ffs.

 

 

Won't they be surprised?

I mean it bumps it up 1.5, which isn’t massive given the numbers involved.

Burn and Longstaff are not good enough on the ball. Hopefully Willock is back soon but probably need a new CM long term. Need a new winger as well, and of course a backup striker.

 

Sbozlai's pace through the middle made us look really pedestrian. He didn't even have a particularly outstanding game, but we looked like a Div 1 team in comparison. Our midfield couldn't trap the ball, couldn't pass it, and were left trailing in their wake when they stepped it up.

[bobbydazzla]

We’ve been well below standard again. 

 

I’m relatively chilled about the big picture, but at the moment it’s like we’re watching an Ashley era Newcastle unfortunately and it’s canny depressing after the unexpected highs of last season 

 

And Klopp is such an utter cunt. Constantly shoving those massive equine gnashers in some officials lug hole.
 

I’d love to fart in a Pringles tube then pin him down and shove it right in his face.

Playing in the champions league (coupled with injuries) has completely destroyed us. Look a shadow of the team from last season.

Who’s this cunt?

[McDog]

That last pen was a dive and nobody will convince me otherwise. Just watched it like 4 times. If he was really tripped there was an invisible fucker in the box.

Highest in the history of the league shows how badly we were pumped.

[RodneyCisse]

At least trippier wasn’t playing so he has a week off the grief in here.

Villa have managed it fine. Might not be CL but if they get it next season they'll do a better job managing their season. 

[Wilson]

They deserved the win, but fuck me, that pen felt like it robbed us of the chance to equalise, shocking decision imo.  I was convinced it was getting overturned.

Longstaff getting a kicking but I didn’t think Bruno was much better tbh
