Another deserved victory from a mediocre performance.
Charlton are next, but after that we absolutely have to up our game.
Now, where's that cuppa?

But, along with the fixtures against Wolves, Leicester and Southampton, another game we would perhaps not have won 12 months ago.

Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy the great performances as much as anyone. But after the last few years, grinding out results in games where we haven’t played well is perhaps almost as satisfying.

Should have had it closed off in the first half but sometimes its good to win scrappy like @Billysboots says.

Not sure Depay is the answer. I like Martial's workrate but he needs to start scoring tap
if you know what i mean. Athletico's demands for Felix seem crazy. 15mill for half a season in fees and wages.

How the heck did the linesman not see this

Agreed, but the first Wednesday goal was almost as bad.
Has VAR taken away their skillset, or have we just forgotten how many terrible decisions there used to be on a weekly basis?

Allison well and truly beating De Gea for abysmal goalkeeping this weekend

So he can’t finish simple ones but that was sublime ?

Coms said because the keeper got a touch it’s not offside.
Absolute joke .
Anyone understand the offside rule now.

 

[clubchamp98]

We’re making Wolves look good here.
To be fair they have played well.

Why is Lenny Henry in the itv studio?

Takes the spin off it to keep the ball down
It went in that’s the main thing.
No pictures on the score card as they say.

Add in the second liverpool goal....
It's like a conspiracy to convince us to love the VAR.

It is a joke, but Mo Salah is grateful to take advantage of it

There is VAR at the match but seems it’s ok because the Wolves player made an attempt at the ball and it touched him last ?‍

Salah goal the same .
What’s the defender supposed to do.?
I thought the offence occurs when the balls played and he’s clearly offside.
Absolute joke of a rule.

 

[srixon 1]

Not offside because the defender touched the ball. Even though he didn’t know that Sala was offside. Football has gone to rats.

Remember the Lovren to Kane one ?
It’s been a rule for a long time.
Still a joke.

So surely Salah's presence was what made the Wolves defender attempt to play the ball? so therefore he influenced the play from his offside position?
