Topic: PL: Liverpool 2 v 0 Southampton ‘30 Mane 91’ Thiago

[Golyo]

Bednarek with a pull-back. He is holding on to the player for a good 5 seconds. Stops a counter-attack with the foul to boot. Yellow, surely. No! How can you not give a yellow for that is way beyond me.

Only 5 pages this long after the full time whistle tells you all you need to know how the game went

And of course that post ends up on page 6, i just cannot catch a break.

[Andy @ Allerton!]

The ref was okay, I believe? 

Nope absolute twat

Ha. I moaned about 5 pages and got it on page 5

Yay me!

[smutchin]

Won a game at Anfield.

Scored in the first half too.

[NarutoReds]

Nope absolute twat

Huh, I thought he was quite fair? Maybe not 100%. But quite.

[Bobinhood]

I was kind of hoping for a cakewalk to get the Mojo going but one down four to go, lets do this thing. Sadio was pretty good today i thought, took a few heft blows though. His goal he came crashing down pretty hard and then late on that knee on knee must of hurt . Hes a tough character he doesn't really show pain like mortals do.  Great press to knick the ball to make Thiagos goal eventually, nice finish on the offside goal too. Liking that.

[Andy @ Allerton!]

Didn't do anything outrageous, but ignored pretty much every niggle on us and pretty much gave every niggle on them - plus several that weren't even fouls.

[kasperoff]

Much needed win, but not a great performance.

Still very wasteful. Look like we were going to give them a goal towards the last quarter, and only really looked home and hosed after Thiago scored.

Thiago himself had another average game and at this point I'm really wondering what all the fuss is about. Robertson looks like he pretty much run himself into the ground. What this Tsimikas lad has to do to get a game is anyone's guess.

Gini. Again, what is the point in starting him anymore? He's leaving. He hardly pulls up trees and someone like Jones might as well be getting some game time.

There were a few good performances. Allison was great and Nat Phillips was good again. Salah, once again with a massive contribution. Trent was positive and confident.

[NarutoReds]

Come on... Anybody noticed Alisson's save? Hahahahah. Fucking hell!!

I almost got a heart attack!!!!   

[So Howard Philips]

Bednarek with a pull-back. He is holding on to the player for a good 5 seconds. Stops a counter-attack with the foul to boot. Yellow, surely. No! How can you not give a yellow for that is way beyond me.

The constant holding and pulling of our players is slowly driving me mad. Ever since Ramos got away with pulling Salah's arm off it seems to be open season on yanking our players.

[Always_A_Red]

Need 5 wins from remaining 5 games and that's the first one done.

4 more to go.

Not the best performance in the world, but the 3 points is all that matters.

4 cup finals left.

We can do this reds. Just got to believe.

[OsirisMVZ]

Thiago's goal was great relief for my constipation

[smutchin]

Come on... Anybody noticed Alisson's save? Hahahahah. Fucking hell!!

I almost got a heart attack!!!!   

He was amazing today. Looked angry. Probably because the defenders were forcing him to work so bloody hard. But it really brought the best out of him.

Apart from that mad misplaced pass late on... but then he saved himself.

They said in the post-match that he made more saves today than he has ever made in a single game for us before. That doesn't entirely surprise me.

Beautiful big sexy Brazilian bastard. I'm jealous of his missus being the one who gets to have his babies.

And of course that post ends up on page 6, i just cannot catch a break.

There's six freaking pages Sarge. Six!

Keep up man. your xpage of .8333 is dismal. 5/6 is not just good enough at this level.

[decosabute]

Klopp missed the opportunity to collapse on the ground and cry in front of Hassenhuttl at full time.

[Eeyore]

The odds are interesting.

Before the weekend Leicester were odds on, and we were 2/1. Now the bookies cannot split us and the exchanges have Leicester as wafer thin favourites.

Read up after that post bigman

[Pistolero]

I've had more stress-free Saturday nights it has to be said.. ...but thank fuck for Thiagho's settler...and thank fuck they had Che Zach Everton Fred Adams playing up front...

[Eeyore]

The worst part is that four of those pages are full of complaining about how few pages there are.

I would have thought our last few games would have seen to that

They have to play Chelsea still, don't they? That will be an interesting one.

hahaha
Would have been funny.
German humor, innit?

[OsirisMVZ]

This constant clenching just isn't good, is it

[redman64]

Tough watch, seen us lose or draw that game many times this season.

I'd be fucking amazed if we win at Old Trafford, happy to be proven wrong.

They have to play twice before thursday

[NarutoReds]

I am not sure what to answer when my friend says betting us to get 4th is going to make him rich.

Tough call.

[Macphisto80]

It's a mad thing. We're not playing anywhere near to our best. Yet, look at the form table from the last 6 games. Newcastle aside, we could easily be seeing a run of green. That's league winning form even if we have been a bit shit. It is always a good sign whenever you look at the latter stages of a campaign's form, as it usually translates to the next season where we're concerned.

[OsirisMVZ]

Just on the lack of pages after a win... I know its normally like that anyway! But... I've got a good number of mates who along with this season being quite shite for us, have completely given up after the ESL stuff. Its been an emotional time supporting us over the Klopp years, big highs and big lows, you can't blame some for emotional burnout. Hopefully they come back for next season after a summer of reflection.

Bitch slap him with a huge fish.

[WhereAngelsPlay]

They're just trying to make it as exciting as possible for us.

[MD1990]

What do we at Man Utd if Kabak is not fit?

We all know Williams hasnt got the pace or experience. Fabinho needed in midfield.

[Oskar]

The performance wasn't great, but grinding out four more results like that will do nicely.

Delighted for Thiago and it's great to see Mane scoring and looking a bit sharper. Phillips did well again, Alisson was brilliant.

Kick fuck out of them.

[Bobinhood]

That Allison lady was pretty good i thought. A few times.

[Phineus]

We all know Williams hasnt got the pace or experience. Fabinho needed in midfield.

I’ve no idea to be honest... I think if Kabak isn’t fit he’ll drop Fabinho back in there as the idea of Williams in a high line at Old Trafford against Rashford is pretty nauseating.

But if Milner and Keita aren’t fit either, then does he start Ox? Or go a front 4?

Either way I think that line up will be pretty lite and we historically don’t show up in this fixture ... I don’t have high hopes for it!

Personally finding it hard to find positives in our season, still watching and supporting.
We are a hard watch at the moment, everything looks hard for us.
Top four still alive so we need to keep grinding these games out.

[Red Beret]

Don't give a fuck about the performance.  We've played better this season and had fuck all to show for it.  Win as ugly as possible, let's just get this season out of the way so we can fucking rebuild and consolidate.

[Fromola]

Our games against United will determine a lot this week. We could be 3 points behind with a game in hand if they both go our way. On the other hand we could go 8 or 9 behind with 3 to play.

This will be another hugely annoying aspect of that game getting called off if these players are injured.

Long term injuries aside, we had our ideal line up picked for that game last week.
