No foul there. Move on.

The referee performances by Kevin Friend and Andre Mariner in 2 of our last 3 games have been shockingly bad.

Two penalties not given in this game alone. VAR is a joke

[Cheeseweasel 26,438]

SHOOT THE FUCKING BALL

[Hagbard Celine 10,910]

bobby!

[mdmost 43,034]

Bobby knees it away instead of getting a shot. That's our luck today. 

Southampton played us beautifully.

Let's take a short corner when time is expiring. Nice job, fuckwads.

[maninblack 7,974]

Glad I missed this one.

[Firemans4Horn 18,119]

Well I wanted 7 points worst case out of that 3 game stretch and we took 2. Play the kids against Villa and get it together and win against United. 
 

Andre Marriner isn’t qualified to ref my kids u-4 YMCA game. 

[mdmost 43,034]

Jurgen can sit back and think he's fine until Jota gets back but Man U and Leicester look pretty damn good. Buy some parts because your front 3 are afraid to score now.

united win this exact same game tonight 2-1 or 3-1 with 2 P.K.’s

[Bone3421 716]

Well I'm pretty sure this 3 game stretch of shit will cost us the league


But hopefully not

I feel like I've been complaining for last 3 years about how nobody will take a shot unless its wide open...so many times I've seen them try to be to cute and try to pass thru all the defense when they could just try a laser from just inside the penalty area

i just don't get it.  you know you're towards the end of stoppage time.  you have to put the ball in the box immediately.

[mdmost 43,034]

We can complain about not getting a penalty all day but the truth is the offense is not firing the ball in enough. They're not attempting to try something. They get the ball inside and then push it back out or cross it over. How many times in the past 3 draws/loss have we seen Bobby, Mane, and Mo not shoot a ball they normally would've in previous years? Palace gave us all a false sense of hope that the team could still score without Jota. A team with Mane, Bobby and Mo should be able to put more than 1 shot on goal before the 2nd half. Jurgen needs to fix this shit quickly. United and City seem to have it figured out finally. Just at the time we're falling apart.

What a weird funk.  Results since 12/1

Ajax - W 4-0

Wolves - W 4-0

@Midgetland - W 1-0

@Fulham - D 1-1

Spurs W 2-1

@ Palace W - 7-0

West Brom D 1-1

@ Newcastle D 0-0

@ Southampton L 0-1

 

Some fantastic games and some head scratchers.  Not sure if they're tired and need the weekend off for the FAC or do we put it on trying to get straight?

firemans laughed when i said that on 85' but we needed 4 points from these 3 games, not 2, when the expectation was 9.  if we fall 2 or 3 points short at the finish, this will be the stretch where the missing points were lost.

It starts at the back. We can't play our normal high/aggressive line with Fabinho and Henderson as defenders. Trent / Robbo can't race down the sidelines when they have to cover for the lack of D. Klopp's whole system falls apart without VVD.

[406W30th 1,111]

Liverpool interested in Alaba but Real lead race

Sounds like a longshot that we'd get him but damn would that be a fantastic signing. Crazy that he's only 28, feels like he's been around forever.

last year was a bit funky, but this year has been more even. It's Leicester everyone should be whining about (on pace for 22 for just this year alone).

Leicester 10

Brighton 6

Man United 6

Chelsea 5

Liverpool 5

City/Spurs/Arsenal at 3.

West Ham, Burnley, and West Brom at 0.

......not to mention Leicester's for/against on penalties awarded is a ridiculous +9 so far this year.

I don’t see any way the season doesn’t get paused. Cases are out of control in the UK.

Cancel it and start the mandatory 2 week break.

[Cheeseweasel 26,438]

I'm so tired of the FA. They talk about "player safety" / whatever social issue of the day is important and then when the rubber meets the road, they fuck the players over.

all the memes and recalls yday about not being able to fill out a first team because of circumstances out of the club's control were  pretty funny.  I'd forgotten it was Villa when the main team was in Qatar,

[mdmost 43,034]

But why?

Some guys look like shit after 2 weeks off is my guess (look at WBA performance). 

Man City rotate first team guys through cup games all the time.

I don't think goals against Villa's youth team are going to be the magic elixir to get the offense back right but that's why I'm not a football manager.

Klopp chimed in:

 

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp speaking to BT Sport recalling when he heard about the Villa Covid outbreak: "Yesterday we sat in analysis meeting with coaches and someone opened the door saying Villa had problems. Then later we were told a lot of their first team players were out. Then they said the training ground had shut down. Then we later learned of their situation.

"This is the side we would have started with tonight because we trained like that.

"For the boys it's nice they can play. So far they [Villa's senior players] are all fine. I wish they all come back quickly.

"If we will win clear they will say something. if we don't win clear they will say something. Who cares? We want to go to the next round. What scenario will they say 'that was brilliant from Liverpool'?"

 

[pied 252]

ok, here we go.

[Jive Turkey 12,642]

I do chuckle a bit thinking about these poor kids looking up and seeing Mo or Sadio coming at them.

That was a great cross by CuJo for Mane’s goal. 

[Firemans4Horn 18,119]

These announcers slagging off Trent better put some respect on his name

[Cheeseweasel 26,438]

Cross and Hope seems to be Villa's plan
