Topic: LEAGUE CUP SEMI - Liverpool 2 Jones 68, Gakpo 71 v Fulham 1 Willian 18'

[Wabaloolah]

Although i'm content for those not to be given, if it's at the other end Sky show that constantly and their whole after match coverage would be based around Fulham not getting a pen with Silva kicking off about how 'you never get those at Anfield' or 'it'd be given at the Kop end'.

if there was any consistency I'd agree about not bothered having one but you can bet your right testicle that it would have 100% have been given the other way around

Who says the BBC aren’t impartial eh?

Incredible. He’s a bitter. I’m curious as to what his burner account is now.

ha ha yeah, the old my account has been hacked line!

[Red Beret]

Bitter, bluenose c*nt.

Ahhh. the old "someone hacked my account" routine.

[RedG13]

Good win. Nunez and Gakpo made a huge difference late.

These are for you McNulty

Felt like a bit of an anticlimax after Sunday’s exuberance.  It’s Fulham, we will coast it so get ready for the final.  It was never going to be straightforward, they were disciplined and gritty and took their goal well.  We were poor in the first half, but like Sunday we got going in the second half to secure the win.

Will take that, not our best night but plenty of positives.  Fulham now have to do what no English team has done this season without VAR assistance, and there will be no VAR at The Cottage.

[Mighty_Red]

Another game when we turned it on its head with a couple of quick fire goals! Went from thinking we're never gonna score to feeling disappointed that we didn't get the 3rd goal!

Subs did indeed make all the difference. Darwin unlucky not to score, did all the right things and made the keeper work.

[PaintItRed]

I passed one of my stations in an exam like this. Smiled. Nodded. Agreed. At one point, I said; “Really? Never thought of it in that manner”.  My feedback at the end of the exam for that station was that; “He has a good grasp of statistics”. To this day, many years later, I am still crap at statistics and haven’t the foggiest.

Klopp's saying to that lad:

"...They're talking about Albania now !! Tories are c*nts!!..."

Kloppo's only giving the lads a couple of days off.

Cody Gakpo is the first player to score in four consecutive League Cup games for Liverpool since Vladimir Smicer in 2000/01.

They won the trophy that year.

[slimbo]

Good news with the win is they will have to have a crack second leg. And I know VVD is coppoing some flack for their goal but the throw in from Gomez leading up to it was terrible.

[the_red_pill]

Ahhh. the old "someone hacked my account" routine.

Why would anyone, WHO JUST HAPPENS TO BE A BLUENOSE hack into your account... oh and decide they'll "enjoy" the match while they're at it.. and then end up saying that?
Don't they have anything else to do? Like use his account to hack into another or doing some other nefarious shite like rob old ladies over the internet?

[the_red_pill]

He's absolutely livid and the lad's almost crapping his pants!
I can even imagine him slipping in a few German words of choice into that conversation!

Kloppo's only giving the lads a couple of days off. 

Yep- deffo not happy!

Everyone except Beck, Jurgen wants to continue the convo...

Why do we always have to deflect responsibility from Virgil onto someone else when he makes mistakes? The ball was fully in Virgil's possession when it got nicked off him. For one split second he was just a little bit too relaxed or 'calm'. Nothing to do with Joe.

Between that and the McNulty tweet, I'm having a coughing fit here.   

The eyes on the lad...

[Gifted Right Foot]

Big win in the end.  A shame we didn't get that second goal cushion to take to their ground but another great comeback.  Fulham are a tough side to play against.  Fair play to them. 

[PaulF]

Yer dad is right though.
Though I don't think kids these days have the kind of audio equipment that does Mark Knoppfler justice.

No VAR assistance but which Manchester ref will they get a helping hand from?

Same energy

Can you believe it, they delivered my pizza on time, but they forgot the pepperoni!

Anyone got a link to thay handball? Honestly thought it was about as blatant as the arsenal one

It was less blatant than Arsenal’s, but still a handball. Robinson missed the ball and his hand has meant the balls not dropped to our attackers behind him. That’s gaining an advantage.

Odegaard batted the ball away with his hand, it’s crazy that didn’t get given.

VAR gives it I think but then again if we had VAR Van Dijk was walking after that utterly baffling first yellow (one of the worst I’ve seen given) and then  an actual yellow when he stands on Jimenez.

[BarryCrocker]

Didn't hand usually get called because you'd received an unfair advantage? Both of these are perfect examples of just that.

I'd hope not as not allowed to review for a booking

More like when you are stone-cold sober but your boss has had a few too many pints and decides you need to learn everything about victorian plumbing

Not like he can just leave

Now, now Neil.. he can "confidently say" that his account was compromised...

L0L!... that sounds suspiciously specific mate.

[Red_Mist]

Missed the game, but a great second half effort by the sounds of it. Good to take a lead into the second leg. Sounds like Conor Bradley was solid, or more than solid.

[mullyred94]

Why wasn't there VAR?

I thought it came into effect in the semis in the league cup?

[John C]

We mustn't forget we've got a lot on injuries, but we continue to be a mixed-bag.
Mixed in terms of first half and second half performances. We've seen so many differences this season.
Mixed in terms of players that stand up to be counted and players who disappoint. Didn't Conor Bradley do him self proud? What a display.

Got to mention Curtis Jones also, he really has settled in to being an accomplished midfielder for Jurgens squad. An amazing footy player.

We'd have loved that 3rd goal, but, the thing is, we're more likely to win at Fulham than at home last night, so it's ours to throw-away now. We're a big step towards another cup final. Another fucking cup final!
I fucking love cup finals.
