Premier League 2019-2020 we’re off

[Liverbirdie]

We need to up our game to get the through the low blocks from teams down the bottom of the table, who just try to nullify our game.

Even with 68% of possession away from home, we have to find a way if they'll only come over the half way line with long balls.

mmm interesting you dont have the same opinion when its Kane when he goes down

Its a foul on Origi - he spent the whole match giving them

Except I do - I said exactly the same in the Arsenal game when Kane went down. Contact not enough for a foul. How awkward for you.

 

[Orikoru]

You play don’t you .
If someone kicks you just below the knee it F@@@@@g hurts .

He kicked him from behind ,never got the ball it’s a foul!

Yeah it would if they actually kicked me. Not if they barely clip me, and I tend not to collapse in a heap.

I think Lallana deserves a shot in these games, or Shaqiri. Too many of the same midfielders imo. One who will run a player, seems to be if not then you revert to, ball to wing back cross, clear, repeat.

Scousers crack me up, it's their sense of humour.
As soon as they don't win it's because the ref's a homer.

It must have been a shock losing Howard for big games but step forward Martin .

Seriously we were awful today for 70 mins .
Utd played well first half but apart from picking the ball out of the net after the goals I can’t remember either keeper making a save.
But second half are you happy watching them defend on the 18 yard line and playing counter attack footy at Old Trafford.
It was a good point but don’t you expect more from Man Utd.

Atkinson consistency gave fouls to Utd and dismissed the same for Liverpool.
Through my glasses any way.
Thought we were poor but still deserved a draw no more no less.

Just a q though.
Do you think it’s a foul if someone kicks you in the calf ,from behind, dosnt get the ball?

Arrogant in victory and everyone else's fault when it doesn't end in victory

Come on city close that gap again please for the love of Christ

You can tell how hard he kicked him on your telly ?
He was on the turn when he caught him.
We will just have to disagree.

Not all Liverpool fans are Scousers, not all Scousers are Liverpool fans.
All teams have decent supporters and all teams have idiot supporters.
Let’s not tar everyone with the brush eh!

Totally agree we still need a Midfield General like KDB but not easy to find one.
Main prob for me especially first half we had nobody in the box to cross to.

I know where your coming from, as think 1 of the 3 "workers" should have a bit more about them going forward, which is why getting a Coutinho would have been great / If ox comes back to the player he was becoming before his injury/ Keita becoming the player we thought he was.

However, we have just won 17 league games on the run, sometimes when you try and improve one area you lose a bit elsewhere. Think Asprilla at Newcastle when they were playing great.

Only one team was a cup finalist today.

Stats eh Pete what a load of bull.
I suspect you expected an easy victory against a crap Utd team.
Your still in the driving seat let’s hope you don’t blow it again.

Do you think Klopp should have changed it a bit earlier today.
The three in the middle just didn’t have control of the game.
Henderson looked out of place ,and we played much better with Ox and Llalana on.

Normally Henderson has gone a bit higher over the last 5 months but today he seemed to drop deeper and smother Fabinho a bit

Lallana , Ox or Keita in there would have put us on the front foot a bit more , whenever Gini went forward he found space , Bobby looked very jaded.

Hard game today especially when playing so poorly against a poor team who raised their level a lot today especially Rashford who looked 10 times the player he has over the last 6 months. It was a good draw for UTD but think it will paper over cracks of their issues

Agree here but think Firmino was in a very crowded area the way they set up .
Spaces down the wing were there but Henderson got in the way of AA imo.

We were not great but a point at United is ok.

Nope I didnt.

Ive been going to OT since 1985. Ive seen shocking refereeing decisions, our teams not turn up, United deservedly beat us and sometimes just find a way to beat us. Its always United's biggest game of the season, no matter where both sides are in the league, and sometimes we, the ref, the manager or the players dont cope with it.

Every time your players hit the deck you got a foul, Fabinho got booked for the same as 2 United's players who didnt in quick succession (Young's was nearly an ankle breaker as well). And thats before the Origi foul, you didnt even need VAR to see that was a foul. The Mane decision was right.

I'm never confident going there.

So whats the load of bull then? Maybe give your own original opinion on something instead of just picking an easy target to get your Like % stats up, eh????

Yep, Henderson should have come off as early into the 2nd half as possible.

But it was still the ref's fault that you didn't win!

Yes, given how poor the team is when playing a team who are miles clear at the top of the table and on such a good run. Especially when trying to hold on to a slender lead.

Yes, but not when the touch is as slight as the one you're referring to. It's a contact sport. He was not brought down by the contact from Lindelof.

There’s no doubt we raised our game today and yours dropped considering the way both teams have started the season.
Wether it was a foul or not( and I thought it was ) you play to the whistle.
Long way to go but today was a step in the right direction for us,we now need to push on and produce good performances like this more regular.

 

[Liverbirdie]

I'll tell you what, loads of opinions on contact, fouls and diving from people who probably have never seen a "PREMIERSHIP" game live or not since Neil Ruddock was in his "pomp".
