[Wabaloolah]

No way is Macca saying anything when Jürgen is stood by him

[Terry de Niro]

Shite game on a freezing cold night, away against a shit on a stick League 1-type team.
2-0 win that I will take all day/night.

[12C]

Horrible yard dog ale house anti football from them
I thought that having towels for the ball was banned this season or was that just a one match thing.

The number of times they went through the back of a player and the bald Jon Moss was standing 40 yards away was ridiculous. I counted three occasions in the second half where he was stood in midfield trying to peer around  players who were in his line of sight whilst their lads  kick sweet Jesus out of our player.
The foul on Macca -no yellow. Yet he pings Konate.

Thought we were very good with our game management, but the problem is you have so much possession the chances of an error increases. The wrestlers in their team tried to drag us to their level, thankfully we put them to the sword at the end. Sweet goal for Dom. Great determination and fight from Darwin.
As usual their shite keeper makes great saves against us.
If I was a SU fan (perish the thought) I would really be pissed off with those players. They have been not arsed all season and now they turn up.

[Jm55]

Endo did well again. virgil good. Slobz was better in the final 6 minutes then the rest of the game.

3 points but fuck me we made hard work of that as Sheffield utd are absolute dogshit.

I think as fans we get zapped with the men in black pen and our memories wiped at times.

The season we win the title we have an incredibly nerve wracking 2-0 home win to eventually relegated Watford, quite similar to today in that we get an early goal and then it gets nerve wracking and we eventually win it near the end. That same season we need a last minute winner away at Villa, a latish goal away at Norwich in a shit game and several others of a similar ilk.

Just because they’ll probably get relegated does not mean it’s going to be easy to win there away from home, especially with the new manager etc.

[jillcwhomever]

24% possession and we committed 18 fouls, 76% and they only committed 16!

Joke of a ref

Does that include the two late ones which laid Macca out? Absolute tosser the referee was today.

[lgvkarlos]

Great win, very hard watch.

[Four Four Three]

Is anyone else slightly concerned about Diaz? Has struggled to find any real rhythm this season, floats on the outskirts of the game, seemingly doesn't really have a real solid good combination with any other players in the squad down that left flank and central positions.

I know he's had other things going on in his life, but I feel the next 6 months are very important for him to demonstrate he can feature as an integral cog - he's no longer the 'new guy'. He will need to show far more than he has been if he wants to command that spot for a team vying for the top titles.

He made 15 passes today in an hour against the bottom of the table side, even if things weren't coming off for him - you'd expect far more game involvement than that against a team of that quality. Mo who played the reverse role on the other side of the pitch for example had 26 completed passes, so was significantly more involved - that's before chances and shots etc...

To say hes had other things going on in his life is a understatement of the year is it not?

Id say prior to that happening in his life, he was in good form albeit theres room for him to improve.

[Crosby Nick]

Think it’s a good sign but three games without a forward scoring now. But still taken 7 points which is realistically about as good as we could have expected.

Hopefully they’ll start banging them in again soon but in the meantime it’s good that others are sharing the responsibility.

[4pool]

Three points. Clean sheet. Happy Days. 

[In the Name of Klopp]

We won 2-0 against a Rugby team, so everything's good 

[Four Four Three]

3 points all that matters at this stage, well done.

[meady1981]

They didn't, but I think it's that feel that while you're 1-0 up against an ale house side they can always shithouse a goal from fuck all.

I feel nervous even if we’re 2-0 up with 2 mins to play. Been that way for 35 years.

[Wabaloolah]

Walk away boss, he's taking the piss the twat

[meady1981]

Get in there Villa

[A-Bomb]

Villa have just scored against City to go 1-0 up. 

[Fruity]

A bit awkward that!

Sheffield were piss poor though. We gifted them half a dozen chances and they barely managed to get a shot off. By far the worst team we have played so far

[decosabute]

All season I've complained about the likes of Arsenal and United winning while playing shite. Well, that was us winning while playing shite.

Virgil was magnificent. The rest, not so much.

[meady1981]

A bit awkward that!

What’s happened

[shank94]

Great win!

[Wabaloolah]

Villa have just scored against City to go 1-0 up. 

was hoping for a draw but will take it

[Ray K]

24% possession and we committed 18 fouls, 76% and they only committed 16!

Joke of a ref

Was astonished that he didn't blow Darwin for the tackle before the goal.

[masher]

Great result, was a decent performance while not spectacular. We did not create many chances as I would have hoped but Sheffield played better than they have all season. New manager bounce made it a potential banana skin and we managed to come away with 3 points.

[Fruity]

What’s happened

Jurgen almost did a mic drop and told the bloke interviewing him that he disrespected him. It sort of went a bit quiet.

Interviewer tried to make a joke about early kick offs and Jurgen wasn't amused.

[rob1966]

A bit awkward that!

Thought Jurgen was gonna lamp him

What’s happened

Presenter made a stupid joke about the 12:30 kick off and Klopp got very pissed off with him

[Cafe De Paris]

Great result. If you want to win league titles you have to get through cold Wednesday nights away from home.

[Wabaloolah]

What’s happened

the presenter took the piss about Jürgen not liking 12:30 kick offs, boss not happy, said "nice one making a joke out of it" or something like that. The interview ended shortly after, you could see that Jürgen was seething

[Mister Flip Flop]

Was astonished that he didn't blow Darwin for the tackle before the goal.

Absolutely brilliant tackle that

[edeyj]

Well done Jurgen.

Horrible little shitehawk got what he deserved.

[Wabaloolah]

Was astonished that he didn't blow Darwin for the tackle before the goal.

yes me too, same with the first goal

[Schmidt]

Largely pretty comfortable despite the scoreline. Not sure what's happening with Gomez and Konate, both look so unsure of themselves and caused us pretty much all of our problems.

Another assist for the goalless wonder.

We've made a habit of winning those. I'd like if we win Saturday Jurgen to come out and ask for some more early kick off's really wind them up good and proper

[jillcwhomever]

He didn't look happy all game to be honest.

Gomez isn't playing in his normal position it's not easy playing on your other foot, he'd be fine if he was at right back hopefully Tsimikas is back next game. Konate is more concerning at the moment, but hopefully he'll improve when he's back at it.

[bird_lfc]

Banana skin avoided. Good away win.

1 loss in 15 that shouldn’t have been a loss either.

[Gods_Left_Boot]

Nowhere near our best, but solid win. On to Palace.

[Kennys from heaven]

Fucking presenter is still squirming.

Pointless saying when will anyone take note about the 12:30 kickoffs as it’s clear that no-one gets it, no-one cares and no-one has one fucking clue why Jurgen and us all are so pissed off. When you have utter bellends like their manager making comments about decent tackles when all his fucking yard dogs kicked chunks out of our lot all game is nauseating.


Terrible game against terrible opposition where we got three points and a clean sheet, but it really does show how appalling the current state of the game is. To be honest, I’ll take the win, but that’s as joyless a win as it could possibly be.

[DonkeyWan]

If they can get past Palace, put out a second string for Europe, onto United then with a rested team. Ridiculous number of games in a row.

And even after the goals you're sat waiting to see if VAR will decide they were fouls.

The whole league is fucking bollocks these days.

[harryc]

Tough watch but 3 pts at least.
