these kinds of posts set my anxiety going.  Knowing I'm streaming an could be a delay I sit there waiting to see what's about to happen lol.

[Cheeseweasel 26439]

[pied06 228]

BBBBBBBBBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Jive Turkey 12930]

Diaz!!!

[Hagbard Celine 11160]

holding your run is not hard

great result

[Jive Turkey 12930]

some motherfucker in the first row threw a stick at Diaz.  that dick needs to be banned from matches.

[Firemans4Horn 18500]

Lol, that goalie had such an “oh fuck” look when diaz rounded him.

Saw that too. Gagreed.

Breathing room at the end of a white-knuckle second half. Three away goals seems pretty good.

[Firemans4Horn 18500]

the only NFT worth a shit the last 3 years is Naby-Fabinho-Thiago

[C-Man 27685]

Oh, wait away goals don't count more than home goals in Champions League now, right?

Nope.

Jota could've ended this tie. Damn.

 

[Cheeseweasel 26439]

Job. Done.

[Firemans4Horn 18500]

We shit all over them today. 
XG on target for us of 4.45. Has to the be the highest in awhile. 

[Hagbard Celine 11160]

the doubleswitch on the hour of bobby & yota for saddio and salah is like vince for vince, and vince for vince.

Agree, one of the reasons I'm not too worried about Mo.  His misses aren't bad imo, especially for him.  Also, h coul have passed a couple times yesterday, but goal scorers don't think that ay most the time.  Hoping he has some epic ones Sunday.

According to reports, we've offered Mo £400K/week, and both sides want to get the deal done.

🤞

At some point, Mo has to choose between having a statue in Liverpool or being a higher paid "guy who gives assists to Mbappe".

Haven't seen any new specific, credible reports but think that's likely the way it seems like it's trending.  

The options are pretty few for him. Dude turns 30 this summer and there are a handful of teams or less that can offer him more money.  I'd LOVE to keep him and hope we do, but it has to make sense in the structure of the team imo.

One of the reported sticking points is image rights. Liverpool wants them but are they willing to pay what it costs? Not sure how that will shake out in the end but I think it'll get figured out.

Give him a few NFT's and it'll be good.

Hell yeah. This kid can play.

From what I’ve seen which is not much, he’s mostly an attacking mid not a wing correct?

I could see him in the Bobby false 9 role. 

[pied06 228]

Anyone recall if that's much more than we almost paid in January?

[pied06 228]

FYI  - TAW just released a podcast called "The Premier League Relegation  Battle Hots up"

 

Normally would skip that, but can't wait to listen.

Based solely on YouTube, he looks a bit like Naby when he played at RBL. Which is to say, I have no idea where he fits in Klopp's system.

Looks pretty close to the same, but maybe a little more in add-ons. 

 

 

 

 

[maninblack 7975]

Right sided 8 in the midfield but could also play in the front 3.

 

[pied06 228]

Nervous af for this game, but that’s one of the reasons we love sports, right?

 

Few lineup questions imo.  Is there any matchup issue to play Konate over Matip?  Fabinho/Thiago for sure, then Keita?  
 

Front three, Mo for starts for sure and now the front three is five. 
 

Maybe I have no clue lol

[mdmost 43851]

Let's f'ing go

Matip getting the start. I wouldn’t have minded seeing Konate or Joe just from an athleticism perspective, but only if Foden is on the left. Have to play Hendo, need him also for cover to allow Trent more freedom.

Let’s do this

[Cheeseweasel 26439]

Big save

that was monstrous.  but not a good sign.

[mdmost 43851]

Ali so huge

[Jive Turkey 12930]

and sure enough.

[Cheeseweasel 26439]

Crap

[hobbes2702 13351]

Completely unable to clear the ball

[mdmost 43851]

Suboptimal

[Firemans4Horn 18500]

mother fucker. 
 

Why weren’t we letting Allison catch the ball instead of heading it out into no man’s land? Our own worst enemy there.
