Big Geordie Posted December 4 Share Posted December 4 Brilliant game against probably the best side in Europe at the moment. We battled and competed well - Isak looks back to his best - Gordon's goal will have done wonders for his confidence and Tonali was excellent in the middle. Thought the scousers had the run of the ball mind, but that's what you get when you are top of the league. Happy enough here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, they were 2nd best tonight. Apparently they have been poor most of the season, but got the results. It’s like when Gerrard carried them for years. Absolutely nowt special, I hope Man City still manage to come back and win the title. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Butcher Posted December 4 Share Posted December 4 Really hope Salah goes. Close to impossible to replace. Probably the best on the planet atm. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Icarus Posted December 4 Share Posted December 4 (edited) No more than we deserve! Somehow all of a good result, a robbery, and a bit lucky. Mo Salah, man. Lewis Hall kept him mostly off the ball, he himself was excellent on the ball, and one on one with him he was fantastic. Salah: 2 goals, 1 assist, hit the bar. Mad player. You'd take a draw, I'll take a draw despite feeling robbed. Definite pen and an insane FT whistle with us about to put Wilson in is maddening, them not scoring more is a relief, getting the draw is sort of right. Pope: 7 Livramento: 5.5 Schär: 8 Burn: 7 Hall: 8 (like I said, Salah is just insane) Tonali: 7.5 Bruno: 7 Joelinton: 6.5 Gordon: 7 Isak: 8 Murphy: 6.5 Barnes: 6 Edited December 4 by Kid Icarus Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beren Posted December 4 Share Posted December 4 Just now, Kanj said: Every fullback in football gets schooled by Mo. Thought Hall did the best he could and won many key 1 v 1 battles Wasn't intended to be a major dig at Hall. Gordon was the outball, so couldn't protect him as much as the game got stretched. Hall's defensive positioning was a bit questionable, but he's young and learning. Full credit to Salah mainly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s mesmerising and always bags against us. But the reason I want him out of the league is so I don’t have to listen to the nauseating patter that the two commentators served up tonight about him.

Lush Vlad Posted December 4 Share Posted December 4 Great performance. It somehow feels like a bad result for both. But a fair one. We were ahead twice and the better side at the time. They’ve come back into it and then battered us for 10-15. Mistake at the end let’s us back in. Funny old game. At least we are scoring again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

M1tche Posted December 4 Share Posted December 4 Feeling annoyed after that, so many little things. Only 1 team seemed to get any advantage played. The pen decision, which once it's given like it should have been is a 2nd yellow . The choice of when to end the game 2nd load of subs coming so late. Numerous players being allowed to put both hands on players and get away with it. (Mainly Salah and Van Dijk on whoever) The Van Dijk on Gordon moment, which in no way was an accident So many little things seemed to go against us.

Keggy_Keagal Posted December 4 Share Posted December 4 2 minutes ago, Beren said: Well, it was a fantastic performance with a non-familiar outcome. Far more good to talk about than bad. I'd not swap Isak for any centre-forward in the league. He's absolute magic to watch in top form. Gordon was class, worked his socks off. Tonali was absolutely amazing - what a motor, thriving in a fast-paced game. Absolutely battering the best team in Europe for long periods of the contest. We were repeatedly exposed on our left-hand side. A steep learning curve for Hall, who got repeatedly schooled by Salah. Have to say - I utterly loathe Liverpool, but you have to tip your fucking cap to Salah. He really is phenomenal and strangely non-loathesome for a Liverpool legend. The way he shifts the ball from one foot to the other and makes his second motion - all in one move - is spellbinding. Ref got some right, some wrong - but that ending was a bit of a farce. We looked like Champions League finalists. How the fuck does a squad capable of that so regularly produce the performances we see vs the Hammers etc It's absolutely maddening. I don't know if Eddie is a more attractive football Sam Allardyce in that he knows how to take points from big six teams and struggles to break opponents who sit in or if it's a motivation issue with the players themselves. That being said from an attacking point of view, that's the benchmark . Can't accept performances like Palace and West Ham . I can't believe I'm going to say this but if he truly believes that Murphy on the right is the best way forwards tactically he's got to back himself and do that rather than trying to shoehorn Joelinton or Barnes or Gordon there. Football eh ? Drives you crackers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have loved to see Willock and Joelinton to help him, but probably hurts our attacking in second half. Gordon came alive after his goal. He's GOT to get his confidence and swagger back.
