Micah just said what I said a few months back, Liverpool playing a high line. But that second goal how long was he on his own in the six yard box.

Yes, but it was still an own goal. The rule only disallow the goal if it hits the arm of the player who scored. Like Rashford in last game. Had it hit Rashford, and then an own goal or other Utd player scored, no handball
Well that’s all I asked!
I could see it was an own goal.
The handball rule is piss poor.

Konaté, knowing when he's beaten, tries to buy a cheap free kick. :ROFLMAO:

Very good goal.
Imagine that was Harry Maguire. There would be certain members in this forum who couldn't get on this thread quick enough to mock him. Also a cynical tackle earlier by Thiago. Had it been a Man City player, again the same guys would be slamming him.

If Liverpool don't finish in top 4, and Man Utd do, would that mean top players like Bellingham won't go to Liverpool, but might go to Utd?

Brentford full value for their 3 points tonight, out fought Liverpool , bullied the backline - can see why they are so strong at home - it’s going to be a heck of a battle this season

Don’t also forget the grief United fans got when we were turned over at the same ground.

Liverpool may well turn their season round, but they have been very average to date. They didn’t impress at home against a very, very poor Leicester side and they have been awful again this evening. They can buy all the striking talent they like but, defensively, they are nowhere near where they need to be.

Robertson brought some energy to the side when he came on, but what the hell Konate, just shocking defending at that level, if that was Maguire he’d off been thrown under the bus by every man and his dog.
Brentford look a really decent outfit ?

Can’t really disagree with that.
But imho it’s the midfield that’s the problem and the high line given the midfield we have.

Thomas Frank wouldn't be a bad fit for England ................................ just saying.

What is happening at Brentford under Frank kind of reinforces what I was saying yesterday regarding what football means to me. A club which put their faith in a manager, give him time to build something, and allow the fans to buy into it.

Brentford may never win a major trophy under Frank, but just look what their endeavour means to those fans. Football is not all about winning titles - it’s about the journey and the dreams along the way.

Absolutely brilliant to see.
