Just utter garbage to disallow Manes goal

[ScouserAtHeart]

Just read that Grobbelaar's pissed on the goalposts at Anfield again so the curse is apparently lifted

He was.

Maybe learn the offside rule?

[trimore]

Just watched the highlights. Can't stand how they disallow goals with the shoulder as offside. How often do players score with their shoulder? When was the last time LFC scored a goal with their shoulder?

Most players would probably rather shoulder goals be illegal than make shoulders a part of the offside decision. It's ludicrous.

Probably the same game where we scored with an armpit.

Look, to be fair, Richarlissom did and he while he plays for Everton he is domiciled in Liverpool, so.....

Richarlison scored with his shoulder last week, think he was trying to head it though. 

[Romford_Red]

I think for VAR a simple change to the offside decision would be to ask if the part of the body that scores is offside when the ball is played.

Currently it is any part that you can score with and generally that's okay, even if it is a shoulder. But when it comes down to millimeters, just look at the body part that they score or control the ball with. Much fairer imo.

[simesy]

Only just got in from work. Knew the score and know its only watford but can someone tell me how did Gomez play?

[Samie]

He played like he was the second coming of Franz Beckenbauer.  I don't think I can top any higher mate. 

[stockdam]

10 points clear.....can’t ask for more than that.

10 points clear.....can’t ask for more than that.

And 17 ahead of 3rd

Yes I liked that but 30 points clear of Chelsea in 4th before December is half over. Astonishing.

[meady1981]

That was more like it. The Bournemouth game was boring. The old ticker was tested for 20 minutes. Made me feel alive for a day.

[Mr_Shane]

I also feel Watford are capable of giving everyone a game now if they play like they did today

[trimore]

  hahaha, forgot it wasn't a header. Still the annual shoulder goal doesn't make up for all the disallowed goals.

[Brian Blessed]

When Salahs first went in, one Watford player out his fists in the air, like he was celebrating. Maybe he was just impressed

[simesy]

Thanks Samie 👍

Very much hope we bring in a new CB. Gomez is not good enough to start for potential league champions.

Related?

[Magix]

A most routine win. Excellent result.

Thought it was 30 as well, but it is "only" 20.

Apparently everyone is in transition except lucky, lucky us, because we didn't sign a single first team player...

Thought they were excellent today, didn't just sit in.
Going to give some of our rivals some problems and hopefully take some points off them.

[Bolrick]

Its getting almost impossible for english teams to perform well in both midweek (champions league) and weekend (domestic league). Add to that... by having an early kickoff just compounds the issue.

So it is indeed a job well done when we got those 3 points against watford. I guess our game plan for this month is to just do enough to win games and i agree with this.

On another note.....its so good to see leicester dropping points at home to norwich today. I expect them to drop loads more and slide down the table this month as Rodgers is an average head coach.

Blues on Toffeweb advocating resigning 'Del Boy' based on today's performance.

They never learn, do they?

Well done today, Mo and Alisson.

Worst post of 2019 award done and dusted

[simesy]

Im loving the fact we can pick up wins at the weekend while playng average after giving everything in the cl in midweek. Most title winning sides have been able to do it and now we seem to  making it a habit.

[Ravishing Rick Dude]

Klopp and Milly signed contracts, 10 points clear - this is a perfect weekend.

Well to be fair, they may have to make a few signings if they are going to compete for the relegation places.

[Perham]

Missed the game but great result and further ahead after the Leicester game! All good!

[Floydy]

Well done to all involved, on we march....

[Yosser0_0]

Thought Shaq was very quiet today.

[Son of Spion]

I was busy so could only get the text commentary on Sly Sports App. It felt like a strange one. Watford sounded dangerous, and when I had to turn off with ten minutes to go it sounded like an equaliser was on the cards. I was so happy to see we actually doubled the lead. Watching the highlights I was a bit concerned how easy Watford got through us at times, and they did fluff a few great chances, but Salah's goals were both lovely.

Despite the way it looked on my commentary, it seems we had 68% possession, twice as many shots (16) as them and three times as many shots (6) as them on target. All in all, it seems like a good win after a hard game midweek against a very good side. Clearly not at our best today, but a clean sheet, three points and top of the table by ten points. 

[thejbs]

I don’t get the ‘lucky’ narrative from this game at all. We were commanding for the most part against a team that dug in for a draw. We got a bit nervy after the disallowed goal but really, we had far more chances to win it that Watford and we’re the better team.

I think Solanke scored his first 'goal' for us with his shoulder when a clearance hit him from a yard and bounced in.  It was duly disallowed for handball...

[thejbs]

Ah. Just seen the var official was Jon moss. No more discussion needed, the oxygen thieving prick is useless.

He didn’t draw the lines on the offside. A technician does that. Moss did nothing wrong today,really.

[Judge Red]

Gomez did particularly well in difficult conditions with that swirling wind. Some exceptional interceptions along with some strong, forceful challenges. Didn’t back out on any 50/50s too which is pleasing to see when you see them commit.

He’s gonna be some player when he matures. We’ve put together a truly magnificent squad and I for one am loving it.
