just saw the 5-0 final how the hell did leeds break the bus?

brom passed one into their own net from 25 yards out in the first 10 minutes.

Who fills in for Matip? Rhys is ahead on the depth chart but I could see Nat doing a job today. Callum Wilson is a crafty motherfucker and I think Phillips is actually a bit more suited to deal with him.

 

[mdmost 44110]

I'd like to see Nat again. 

Fans about to go away again. With the City/Everton and Spurs/Fulham postponements, feels like we're about to see a lot more of these.

 

[pied 252]

expected, but not great.  Certainly see more games canceled and can see a (hopefully )brief shutdown soon

Glad the vaccine has started being distributed there (no politics).

[mdmost 44110]

Thiago is in the matchday squad! Jurgen is a sneaky one. I'd imagine first off the bench but I guess we'll find out in 30 minutes. 

[mdmost 44110]

 

[pied 252]

Rest for Gini, hopefully resting his contract signing hand as well. Thiago for Milner?  ~halftime/60 minutes.

[Firemans4Horn 18535]

[Firemans4Horn 18535]

Not sure we’re going to be able to win the league or CL with Phillips/Williams partnering Fabinho every game.  

[Firemans4Horn 18535]

Passing has been off today 

[Firemans4Horn 18535]

Ugh, needed Salah to bury that. 

[mdmost 44110]

Fire the damn ball.

[Jive Turkey 13019]

damn.  Yedlin broke it up.

[maninblack 7975]

Vexing

[Jive Turkey 13019]

we're close.  it's coming.

[mdmost 44110]

If ever a game was calling for Thiago to come on after the half, it's this one.

not liking all these set pieces conceded near the box

[Jive Turkey 13019]

nice whiff on the bicycle kick, dumbass.

[Hagbard Celine 11294]

this game feels like the brom game.... the doldrums of the sargasso sea.... just drifting along.

and there's a decent header from mane

[Hagbard Celine 11294]

FORK!

[Firemans4Horn 18535]

Please man

[Jive Turkey 13019]

yeah, if we only get 2 points from games against West Brom and Newcastle, that could really bite us in the ass in May.

[mdmost 44110]

We can't seem to do anything right today. 

[Firemans4Horn 18535]

Please man

[Jive Turkey 13019]

holy fuck Bobby.  that was an open net.

[Hagbard Celine 11294]

the rest of the contenders are laughing it up right now.... staring at dropping 4 to non-contenders

[Hagbard Celine 11294]

i think ox is the right move... try to overload and turn a flank

[mdmost 44110]

Did we use up all our creativity against Palace? 

[Firemans4Horn 18535]

Pretty brutal day at the office by Trent and Jordan 

[Jive Turkey 13019]

the ball won't go in.

[BrickHorn 18450]

How was that not a foul by Newcastle’s keeper when he grabbed Mane’s leg?

[mdmost 44110]

TAKE A FUCKING SHOT!

[Firemans4Horn 18535]

Why is Phillips trying to pass the ball? Your only skill is to head the ball.

You’re fucking kidding me Darlow 

[Jive Turkey 13019]

motherfuck.

[Hagbard Celine 11294]

motherhumper.  totally pedestrian.  title defensing is hard.

[Firemans4Horn 18535]

We need to give Hendo a game off. He looked like midfield Phillips. 

[BrickHorn 18450]

The ref missed a clear penalty on the Mane leg grab that denied us a goal. Once again this team gets completely fucked over by the officials.

[Firemans4Horn 18535]

On a positive note Thiago is the most talented player on our roster and is healthy again. 

[mdmost 44110]

For the love of God, just buy someone in the window.

Everytime I hear a complaint about players going down easily this is the kinda stuff I think about. Unless you are English or hit the grass you are not winning a penalty

two week COVID break doesn't sound bad right around now.

[Bodowned 893]

It feels like we've been pedestrian pretty often since the COVID restart at the end of the last season, so figured I'd look into it. We have 14 wins, 8 draws, and 3 losses since the restart which translates to 50 points in 25 matches. That's a 76-point pace extrapolated over a full season. There's only been one EPL champion with <= 76 points in 28 years. So it is a worrying trend. I just want Klopp to try something different in the midfield for Christ's sake. That, or get players subbed onto the pitch with enough time to actually do something when the writing is on the wall like it was for WBA and Newcastle.

[mdmost 44110]

Ready for this year to end, for sure. But it wasn't all bad...

 

[maninblack 7975]

Everyone can calm their tits. Business done. 💪

 

[HenryJames 67468]

Sven Botman, imo.

[Firemans4Horn 18535]

Forget about the Mack Brown curse. Whatever curse Klopp put on Wilder is next level. 

[Firemans4Horn 18535]

Harvey Birdman Elliott is kind of under the radar dominating things as a 17 year old in the championship. 
 

Another assist today and up to 4 goals and 6 assists in 1,455 minutes. Played on the right of a midfield 3 today.

Good news, Joe’s on a bike. 
 

Sad news, Gerry died.

 

 

 

[maninblack 7975]

Need a W today to get the taste of the last two matches out of our mouth.
