I can’t believe it..... I’ve just witnessed a man get sent off by clearing the ball.... this has to stop..... THE GAMES GONE

Just seen the West Ham red. Get VAR in the bin. Dear me. The Chelsea player slides in under his feet while he's kicking the ball, what do they expect him today? Has to be another example of a ref who has never played football in his life.
 
Expected to come on and read that it was a red. Thought was just my bias view that it wasn't

Wonder if we will appeal

Moyes doesn't do well against the top 6.. hasnt all season
 
VAR is as bad as the European Super League, it's killing the game. Shocking stuff yet again today.

Anyone see Jon Moss last night? I''m sure he's a nice guy but he's fat, out of shape and it's disgusting anyone of his ilk is reffing a game of elite athletes. How can players respect refs when they can't even respect their own bodies. Embarrassing seeing him panting and trying to slow the game game with cheap whistle blowing.

I am wondering if Klopp watches these games back.
It’s the same every week.
Miss a sackful of easy chances then score a world class goal.
Playing a high line with no pace at the back .
We were lucky to get a point in the end . A push in the back should be a penalty.
Handball rule is a joke.

You've gotta get a proper striker in to be honest. Firmino is finished and his stats show it for the last 2 years. Jota is a great signing but you need a striker who can head and finish. The quality of the crossing and to have no one who can head is mindboggling. Much easier to cross to someones head than feet.

Agree.
I see Robbo and TAA turn around and play backwards because there is nobody in the box.
Firmino is a spare midfield player and never on the shoulder of the defenders. He’s a poor finisher as well.
But scratching my head over the finishing.
How does Mo miss easy sitters but score a goal like today?
There is nothing worse as a defender watching your strikers miss chance after chance .
There is a voice saying “ one mistake and your getting the blame here”
Halland would score 50 a season with the chances we make.

Mate it's so frustrating even as a neutral. You've got the best set of Attacking WB's and crossers in the world and nothing in the middle. Even your Plan B is a midget or who someone who can't head. If you signed Dzeko as a super sub he'd still win you 15 points a season.

Mo has always been a scratchy finisher, he's returned to his usual level IMO. Which has exposed the cracks he paperered over. Mane too has gone off the radar totally. I think a good preseason, targetman and you'll be back to 80-90 points. Not sure you'll get Haaland though.

It’s Haaland and he is way out of our price range -

You have said for three years about a central striker and yet Klopp still doesn’t play with one - guess why ? That’s not his preferred way to play - he doesn’t want a central striker - that’s why Sturridge was bombed out

He doesn’t do too bad for a “scratchy finisher” - 123 in 4 seasons for us , I don’t think anyone has scored more in the same period. He is a World Class player and may well end up with his 3rd golden boot in 4 seasons. It will always amazes how little respect he gets.

I would have got Crouch out of the TV studio.
We have no plan B imo.
I have never been a big Klopp fan and he must see what we see but he’s the manager.
I had my eyes closed for the last 10 mins it’s so predictable.
We can hope on Halland :)

Yes I am aware he dosnt want one .
But Lord T asked a question about the strikers .
I am just giving my opinion.
As I said “ he’s the manager”
For now.

Best manager at the club since Kenny resigned - never heard or seen a Liverpool fan say they aren’t a big fan of him. Have you not seen the last 4/5 years since he arrived . If you aren’t a big fan of him then I’m struggling to see who you would be a big fan off ?‍♂️
 
I must be missing something but how have they disallowed that Brighton goal for offside? The Brighton player was in an offside position but the ball has hit his team mate and gone backwards, away from the goal. The scorer has then come back and finished it. I thought you couldn't be offside if the ball has been played backwards.

EDIT - none of the commentators have mentioned it so I guess my understanding must be wrong.

that might just be the worst VAR red card lol

Stiff competition from the Soucek one at Fulham the other week.
Likely overturned on the Monday (as the Fulham one was), but in the meantime west ham play with 10 men and drop points in the already unequal struggle with the "contrite" big 6...

Well you have now.
What can I say I am not a big fan of his method.
No CF.
