Topic: PL: Watford 0 vs 5 Liverpool Mane ‘8 Bobby ‘37 ‘53 ‘90+1Mo ‘54

[TheMissionary]

Jenas made the same point in the commentary, and though it sticks in the throat a bit to admit it, I agreed with him at the time.

But the defender didn't have to play it.  Mo was offside, just leave it and they get a free kick, he chose to play the ball and nearly scored but for a good save from a goalie who had a good game....and still conceded 5.

McManaman spouting bollocks about offside for Bobby’s second.

“I know it’s the rule but..”
It’s the fucking rule yer scruff!

The defender has to make that block because he doesn’t even know who is behind him and salah isn’t even within arms distance of him.

Whether it’s a bad rule or not, it’s a legitimate goal and I don’t understand why they go on about how it shouldn’t have been a goal?? They compared it to Mbappe goals and that one was totally different.

He did tho, the defender hasn’t got eyes in the back of his head, he doesn’t know if anyone is behind him, or if they are onside, or offside. If a defender leaves that ball then it’s poor defending.

Hard to blame the defender for playing that. He's got no real way to know Mo's off. If he leaves that and Mos on he gets slaughtered for not.

[Dr. Beaker]

On a side note, I hate the rule that allowed our 3rd to stand. Salah was obviously offside and the defender had to play the ball because of Mo. It’s a dumb rule and I will be annoyed if we concede a similar goal. It made no difference to the result but the rule needs to be binned.

Strongly agree.

[Macphisto80]

It seems it wasn’t us being good but Watford being shit.
We would have hammered most teams today

This is what annoyed me with Jenas' constant whinging.

We've done this to most teams in world football. It's nothing new. You can imagine him moaning about Barca when they'd Messi, Iniesta and Xavi in their midfield. He wouldn't cause he's a c*nt and he hates us.

[Slippers]

Joe Cole given everyone a tactical lesson. 

What a time to be alive.

thats the point, how can he know. He can’t take the chance. It is a shit rule, but we’ve been on the wrong side of it too, so nice to actually have one going our way.

What is annoying is the commenators then turning the agenda to ‘luck’ or ‘wrong’, when it was correct all round.

[Sir Capon of Debaser]

Highlights of the first half. Speedy Gonzales shouting “ARRIBA ARRIBA, ANDALE ANDALE!!” On the touch line

[stockdam]

Okay, so Watford are a bit shit, but man were we having fun. I so love these sort of early Saturday games, it means me being football happy for the rest of the weekend. And I adore this whole team, but Mo... no words anymore. Pretty sure he would appear on the Men in Black screens as an alien.

Watford are a mess. They have no idea how to defend and I can’t see them staying up.

[Sir Capon of Debaser]

They don’t half make ya smile this side eh

[Kenny's Jacket]

Are we havin’ that?

Any grievances?

Has Formola popped in yet?

[Ste08]

That was sensational.

[KurtVerbose]

Got to feel for Danny Rose. No shame in being humiliated by Mo, but then Nico comes on and humiliates him some more.

[So Howard Philips]

It’s the fucking rule yer scruff!

With that large collared pink shirt and floppy hair it looks like he's going for the public school educated fraudster look.

[The Test]

Joe Cole given everyone a tactical lesson. 

Whats he squeaking about now?

[El Lobo]

Nice comfortable win. Although we had to do without Fabinho and Ali we benefited from them not calling up Firmino.

Watford were hopeless, usually the kind of performance they put in against City. Good we could ease off second half with tough away games to come. Could have been any score if we really wanted.

Days like today must be tough, but you keep on trucking mate. There’s always Tuesday.

[John C]

Moss.

The useless fat get was ok today wasn't he?

Yeah its utter bollocks

[Bobinhood]

Oh sure, Mo's goal was nice but the play of the game was John Moss top of the box waves Foster on, suddenly realizes hes way out of position, puts in a flat out seven second sprint all the way to half, further realizes hes now knackered and completely done for and blows up for half just to end the pain.  A pro's pro, that man    Him and Danny Rose are having a little shwarma and laughing about it right now, 

[Kenny's Jacket]

Kostas was great when he came on

[RedBootsTommySmith]

Great showing from Liverpool, but let's face it, Watford never showed up. Beaten before the kickoff. I was amazed at their lack of effort. Ranieri will need to change that attitude or he'll be gone by Christmas. And putting Danny Rose on Salah? The lads has eaten too may pies lately, that was a complete mismatch.

We're looking good at the moment, though.

[Red_Mist]

The useless fat get was ok today wasn't he?

Okayish. Except when he blew up for Tsimikas’s tackle cos he felt a bit sorry for them

[Simplexity]

Kostas was great when he came on

Kostas is always great. Possibly the greatest player in the world on current form.

[Macphisto80]

They don’t half make ya smile this side eh

[Dim Glas]

Kostas was great when he came on

love his snide! He’s such a worker, he was just in their faces every second on the pitch.

Excellent player.

[mattD]

Always wary that a dominant first half turns into a difficult second half but they just kept upping the ante.

To be fair, I was quaking in my boots when I saw Tom Cleverley come on...

[Gaz123456]

Wow, that was impressive

[PoetryInMotion]

That was fun. The front three were back to their hypnotic best.

[Andy @ Allerton!]

The useless fat get was ok today wasn't he?

First half just averagely bad.

Some surreal decisions second half. Mane and Salah fouled all over the place. Ignored (And again, if that's both ways then I'm absolutley fine with that if that's the way they are going to ref) and that was the problem again - through the back of Matip - ignored - through the back of Milner - ignored - throuhg Salah and Mane - ignored.

Then on the other hand, just straight dives by Watford and similar fouls to those on Liverpool players and every single one given. The 'foul' he gave against Tmiskas was just a complete joke.


He's just so biased against us that he can never hide it. The look on his face was priceless though. Thought he was going to cry

[jillcwhomever]

Got to feel for Danny Rose. No shame in being humiliated by Mo, but then Nico comes on and humiliates him some more.

That was a cool assist by Neco though. 

[jillcwhomever]

The useless fat get was ok today wasn't he?

No, he robbed Kostas of his moment.

[keano7]

Our famous front three all scoring in the same games again. Those were the days lads. 

Porto and now today!

[Red_Mist]

Kostas was great when he came on

Yeah he was excellent, enjoyed that little performance.

[Sir Capon of Debaser]

Hes a fucking balloonhead him. Not that ya need telling but   the fella with him says something and then he repeats it in a different way back to him. McManaman does the same to Fletch

Someone’s gonna do it back to me aren’t they 

Bet it’s Nick

[Crosby Nick]

Has Formola popped in yet?

Not long til we play next. His time will come again.

[Dr. Beaker]

Anyone else think that first goal, Mo to Sadio, was very Kenny to Rush?

[Pistolero]

* lesson learned from the City game...start each game like men possessed and exploit the mayhem

* had to watch it on Optus Sports in the 2nd half to escape Jermaine Only Meee Jenas...is there anything, about any aspect of the game that this cnut doesn't know?

* fuck me..the cocky's hut on Danny Rose...could barely get up again after taking the knee
