Very good win today. A slightly sluggish first half but thought we dominated from the 30th minute onwards. The boys done good.

Nice to see the front 4 all on the scoresheet too.

Also it looks like we have a real player on our hands with Todibo👍

Oh and Phillips is still 💩

He was awful wasn't he? I cant believe what's become of him. Awful

Todibo fully agree. Haven't seen a defender so comfortable on the ball for us since Rio. Constantly looking forward to start a move aswell.

Ironically we have upgraded our defence so much that Emerson has gone from our best defender to our weakest defender within 6 months

Had nightmares that Phillips and Ben Johnson were gonna have the last laugh!

No fear, Ipswich’s defence is dreadful.😁

How is it a “fact” ?

What are these advantages that the referees give them

Well off the field you get favourable coverage in the media. Everyone else is an afterthought.

In terms of referees, they are under a great deal of pressure not to give decisions against Big Six teams, especially when they are at home and are against a “small” club. During all the times you watch Liverpool when you’re there in person at Anfield, do you genuinely think referees aren’t influenced/intimidated?

So last season when

The ref didn’t give us the clear penalty against Arsenal , the one against City

Then sent off McAllister

The shocking var offside against Spurs

That was down to what influence ?

And who is putting the refs under pressure to give the top 6 decisions ?


As for “favourable coverage” - throughout the history of all sports the media will concentrate on the biggest and most successful teams/individuals


So there isn’t really any “facts” as such

It’s more about an opinion

Now try it again, using non Big Six opposition teams as examples.

It won’t be as easy for you.

And I repeat my question about when you’re there at Anfield. Don’t you feel/see it happening? Genuinely?

McAllister was sent off against Bournemouth

Gakpo goal wrongly disallowed was against Burnley

The clear penalty was at home and denied

You aren’t really factual more about bias opinions or some sort of paranoid conspiracy

Refs don’t give certain clubs advantage - unless you think they are cheating then

The penalty wasn’t given because the refs were shocking not because it was against Liverpool
