Topic: FT: WBA 0 - Liverpool 1 (Firmino 45+1')

[Anfield89]

Agreed anyone in that position shoots and should have scored

They don't mate he had 3 players to pass to.

[liverpool185]

That was a fucking stupid last 20 minutes. Some of the shit we do when we are leading is unreal. I don't think I've ever been more angry in victory. We're fucking clueless at times.

Disagree completely, those last 10mins was always going to happen at some point during the match, we were brilliant.

[RK7]

3 wins and a draw from enough for top 4?

[gregorio]

Sending your keeper forward in a league game? Is it just me or is that a bit weird?

Not at all, good for them

[Chris~]

Firmino  earned himself a relaxing golden mask.

Must have scored a fair few headers now. Much better in the air than a few seem to think.

[rob1966]

Was watching via Sky Go in the laptop and my picture buffered as we took the free kick and came back as Bobby got to the cornerflag celebrating.

Keep the momentum going and I feel we'll take 3rd spot.

[Nick110581]

3 wins and a draw from enough for top 4?

I reckon three wins would be enough.

[TomDcs]

So made up with the points on the board, couldn't watch the last 5! Hopefully Chelsea stuff United today!

[idontknow]

If that was your immediate thought straight after the whistle blew you really need to fuck football right off because you don't get it.

Exactly, that was a horrible and necessary last 20mins, that's where we'll find out if we can win things or not.

And it was great that they couldn't bully us, we were chasing down 2nd, 3rd balls, organised in defence.

Best though, beating them of all teams from a set-piece and 2 headers in their box. Right at the end of the half.

My first thought at the end of the game was, yeah, we can beat the shit too. And my smile was like Klopp's, Coutinho's, Moreno's, and the rest of the team.

A brilliant win.

[Ray K]

Huuuuuge win. Fucking massive win.

What a big set of balls on Jurgen's reds. Emre in particular was everywhere. Migs has been brilliant on this run.

Stick that up your arse, Pulis. And shove that baseball cap up there while you're at it.

[KiNki]

brilliant result, really enjoyed it, well in redmen, even used the subs at the right time. 

[Koparoo]

just seen it again and he would probably have been offside, depending when he played it

Yeah - but don't let that get in the way of a good Moreno bashing.... He got the interception and made the break - and if he had passed, it would have been offside - [I just thought he should have been able to keep running with fresh legs and walked it in]. Still a win is a win is a win - and they are very valuable now at this end of the season. Now to watch ManU drop off the pace....

Go you REDMEN!!!!!!

[MinnyRed]

3 wins and a draw from enough for top 4?

Mathematically that's more than enough.

[elbow]

A mature performance. You can't always beat teams by 3 or 4. Matip or Can for MOTM. Mignolet also had a great game. An important three points

Ain't that the truth. 6 points from the last two is gold dust. Up the Reds!

[RedRaj]

Love it when we beat that shithouse cap wearing anti football paedo... just love it

[rowan_d]

How many points for top 4 now?

I'd say 12 points would make it almost certain, can't see Man Utd or Arsenal winning 6+ of their remaining games. With our remaining fixtures and Lallana/Henderson to come back soon, I'd be very disappointed if we don't get those 12 points.

[Rush 82]

Matip and Lovren were immense in defense today - dealt with everything that came their way.

Simon was magnificent - decisive decision making.

[NaivetyinBlack]

Saw the miss again. Yes, Moreno was extremely dumb to not see Can and Bobby on his right but what the fuck was Sturridge complaining about ? Forgotten the offside rule eh Daniel ?

[number 168]

No point wasting your breath.
99.9% sure those were his last minutes for Liverpool.
Moreno's problem is one that can't be fixed - he's just not smart enough to play at this level.

Yes, I suppose that was his parting memory just as Aspas' corner was.

[kasperoff]

If that was your immediate thought straight after the whistle blew you really need to fuck football right off because you don't get it.

Of course I'm happy with the win. Did that last 20 not leave you frustrated?

[Anfield89]

That was a fucking stupid last 20 minutes. Some of the shit we do when we are leading is unreal. I don't think I've ever been more angry in victory. We're fucking clueless at times.

Under pressure them throwing everything at us we did fucking well. Nobody would have been surprised had one of those corners or balls into the box ended up going in.

[jillcwhomever]

The way Bobby was battling those thuggy WBA defenders, he was well up for it. No one was pushing him off the ball today. Well in Reds.

[Pistolero]

is right mate...one of the most enjoyable results of the season

[wellred82]

3 wins and a draw from enough for top 4?

9 points

[Zoomers]

Sending your keeper forward in a league game? Is it just me or is that a bit weird?

How's that weird? They had fuck all to lose, it's either 0 points or 1 point by putting more pressure into our box.

[Lycan]

AND HAPPY EASTER to all of you who celebrate, God bless

Happy Easter and God bless you too mate!

UP THE REDS!!!

[rushyman]

Brilliant defending excellent performance


Moreno in the 93rd minute ... did you also say some bad words ?

[Dave D]

Oh, I'll enjoy it alright. Just slightly seething about how clownish we look when trying to defend a slender lead.

Anyway. Migs was fantastic at the end. Can and Origi were great too. Lucas and Firmino with honourable mentions. Massive 3 points no doubt and it doesn't really matter how you win them at this point in the season, but fuck me, we're not winning the league defending like that.

You sound gutted that we won. Did you have a little rant all typed out on how Jürgen got it wrong and how the defense was terrible?
We didn't even concede a goal for you to get upset about. Cheer up lad and stop talking shit.

[lgvkarlos]

So happy. 😊😊😊
Brilliant from Bobby today, don't think he gave the ball away once.
Also punching under pressure  from Migs was brilliant..

[Rattleduser]

the pre-match and half-time rave music and the sign on chants from the dickheads in the stands cheering on alehouse footy celebrating corners and throw-ins. It's effective like, no compliments should be made for employing it though.

3 points for the reds, it's what Jesus would of wanted.

[helmboy_nige]

Most satisfying game of football in ages. An away win against an anti-football Pulis shithouse team. A clean sheet. An assured performance from the keeper who is increasingly looking like he has improved every aspect of his game. A final 10 in which we completely handled the constant grenades thrown into the box. A hilarious injury time with Foster playing as an outfielder and Moreno missing a sitter when he could have passed it either side and guaranteed a goal.

Great stuff. Pressure back on the chasing pack.

[Rush 82]

oh! forgot to add, was wearing the 'lucky tshirt' again 

[lessthanmatt]

Yes, I suppose that was his parting memory just as Aspas' corner was.

I did think about Aspas when it went wide

[Greatness]

lol the ending of that game, utter madness

Brilliant performance from Frimino today, clearly the best player on the park

[Living Legends]

We've answered some big questions these last couple of games in particular. Now we enjoy it and move on to the next one. Nicely building moment now towards our goals. Today was a huge step.

[jillcwhomever]

Of course I'm happy with the win. Did that last 20 not leave you frustrated?

I think they did much better than we have been doing. You have to learn to win ugly and its never easy at WBA. But bit by bit, its coming. Last season that would have ended in a draw, this season its a win. Three more wonderful points in one of our trickiest games. Look forward to the next one now.

[Schmidt]

Top marks to Firmino for keeping his shirt on too, you could tell it was really difficult for him.

[DonkeyWan]

Thank fuck he'll never play for us again.

Never mind the decision-making, how do you miss an empty goal from there?

[d.arn]

Great performance, and we really should have scored a second. But apart from a few nervy moments when they launched the ball into the box, and Mignolet's excellent save, they really didn't create anything.

[RyanBabel19]

Got to ask, what the fuck was the ref thinking giving Evans a freekick for about 4 seperate fouls on Origi? Should have seen red as he had just been booked then blatantly fouled Origi numerous times to prevent a break
