100% agree. Madley is a shite ref and Coote is a joke on VAR, but they didn't cost us that game at all. From the very start we looked mentally nowhere near it, our finishing was abysmal and our game management was shocking. Deserved every bit of it.

For the first 30 minutes Madley made it impossible for us to gegenpress and gave them 8 freekicks to load the box.

Tha it's pretty much impossible to compete against.

Liverpool FC Forum / Re: Name 6 of the current squad that will still be here in 5 years(5 years on again)

Trent
Konate
MacAllister
Jota

Struggling for a fifth one, but I'll go with Bajcetic, assuming injuries don't force him out. The likes of Szoboszlai, Elliott, Jones, Diaz, Nunez or Gomez are all options, as are some of the other youngsters, but it's too early to tell. Some might not be rated by the new manager, some might not be content being squad players, time will tell.

Missed 2019/20

I think I would've picked any of that squad at that time. It was our peak

So. It's time for 2024/25 version

Seems like a good moment

Bajetic
Szoboszlai
Mac Allister
Quansah
Bradley

How the fuck can you compete when Tarkowski is making 80's challenges and then the next second our players are being penalised for breathing on a player?

Do you really think we lost tonight cos of the ref?

Do you really think we've been poor and had virtually zero control of any game since the middle of March cos of refs?

The refereeing is crap, but come on - get real.

Fuck me Nunez scored 26 goals in 28 League games for Benfica.

Bunch of headers and pens against part time farmers.

Kezman scored shit loads before he went to Chelsea too.

Thank whatever gods may be for the AFL, a double header to wash away the stink.

We were Unlikely to win it before the Everton game, absolutely out of it now. The last month has been an absolute disgrace from the players, hardly any of them get any credit.

I think that’s way too harsh mate. Some players have struggled a bit, but no way anyone has been an “absolute disgrace”.  Take a deep breath and think about those words “hardly any” of them. We have loads of positives from this season and our players have been great for most of it.

We are talking about Nunez and whether he can be coached into scoring more. I don't think coaching would do this and I don't believe that Salah's ability came directly from coaching. If so then it would be fairly easy to take a decent striker and turn them into a top class one and we know that isn't true. There are a lot of players who look good at the lower levels or when they are young but the EPL doesn't give you time to think and it's, in my opinion, instinctive.

Fuck me Nunez scored 26 goals in 28 League games for Benfica.

We were making half arsed tackles because we started slowly and weren't up for the fight. We did absolutely nothing to help ourselves and gave the ref every opportunity to award those fouls. We've been robbed by ref's blatantly this season, but today was not one of them. It was all on us. It's a desperate reach to try blame the ref today.

Whilst we are on it, we're terrible at gamesmanship. Everton played us like a fiddle today and took every opportunity to fall to the ground. I know it's not how Klopp likes to play, but we can't piss and moan when it happens to us. It's part of the game, unfortunately. We've been done over a few times like that over the years. Particularly in Europe.

100% agree. Madley is a shite ref and Coote is a joke on VAR, but they didn't cost us that game at all. From the very start we looked mentally nowhere near it, our finishing was abysmal and our game management was shocking. Deserved every bit of it.
