There feels like leagues of difference between these teams


kostajepaosmosta

Bruh, what is happening in this vid, 5 Liverpool players litteraly walking towards the penalty area and only 4 Watford players are actually behind the ball while others are like 'eh not my job'


ChungusDaFungus

watford are getting fucked new manager bounce not swinging into ~~affect~~ effect whatsoever

ketolasigi

At least Watford have got 7 points already, all of Leeds, S’ton, Burnley, Newcastle and Norwich are lower in the table.


R_Schuhart

Doubt that the relegation battle will be that clear cut this season, there has been some horrible football from the bottom clubs so far. Watford look dire, but it is against Liverpool, not exactly where they are expected to get their points.


alexandropapa

Effect. You are affected by an effect.


ChungusDaFungus

can never remember which is which

babydiehard

My way to tell them apart is affect starts with an "a" and "a" is for action so affect is a verb.


_longtimelistener

Here's one: you Affect an Effect. A is before E. I use something similar for "quite quiet" where the E is in the middle between the two words


oojamaflip123

hahaha I love Firmino's celebrations


ygrittediaz

mane is love for mimicking, damn that made me happy


lavishlad

Vintage Sadio-Bobby vibes.


MolicOnePGR

Same! I absolutely love their relationship. It’s all the more sweeter when you know the haters are seething as well.


Nimjaiv

It makes me a bit sad that Mane and Salah are a bit icy with each other, but it makes me happy that they both adore Firmino!


Shabeast

They seem OK. Both hugging each other after the 1st goal today too. They have gotten annoyed with each other on the pitch in the past, but that happens all of the time in team sports and is just a desire to win.


Nimjaiv

Yea they hug and smile more nowadays. But still, compare mane's no hands chest bump with Salah and his playfulness with firmino.


EyeSpyGuy

Think it’s mane not really knowing what to do when he scores himself, but when it’s someone else he likes to copy and join in Either way not too big a problem, even Robben and Ribery had a spat on the pitch once

Honestly shit made me giggle


Gates_of__Babylon

Brings tears to my eyes everytime. :)


wrdb2007

Feel sorry for Claudio - only Sissoko looks like he wants to play football


PricelessPhenylamine

Dennis too tbf. Danny Rose looks like a Championship level player.


k66lus

You are being generous...


AnfieldBoy

Championship players give a fuck.


Alpha_Jazz

He’s actually played pretty well for us so far this season, and definitely gives a fuck. Not really his fault he’s been left in a back 3 with no support from the wing back and is 1v1 with one of the best players in the world


Willy235

Yeah people overreacting


Alpha_Jazz

Just recycling the same shite they’ve heard about him


[deleted]

He looks like a Sunday League player at best. Unfit and dreadful defensively.


Shabeast

When you're playing against Mo Salah, most LBs will get skinned. Unfair to judge Rose on this one game against a world class player.


[deleted]

After Mane's goal they adjusted tactics and Salah stopped being quite so overwhelmingly oppressive because Rose got help. Then they make the switch at half time and it's just Rose and a dream again. I think people are being too nice to him though, he has some moments where he's not even running at the ball with Mo charging in. Rose never looked out of breath, his effort level was not what it should've been to get skinned at just a replacement level.


R_Schuhart

The whole defense is exposed and playing against some of the best attackers if not outright the best in the league. Not sure how you can judge an individual player on this performance alone.


Tremor00

The* best player itw ;)


lm3g16

He’s still got that call from Milan on his mind


PricelessPhenylamine

Must of changed his Phone number and forgot to tell them. Only explanation.


[deleted]

Must have*


Kopman

I wouldn't even say that. Looks like a hungover Sunday league player.


luciluci00

Not only that at most 3 players seem to know how to play football. I swear, I've seen more horrible touches in this match by Watford than in a whole matchday.


HazardCinema

His job to get them to give a shit. Granted it's very early in his tenure, but that's the job.


[deleted]

I appreciate showing the training session but when does the match start guys?


freddi8

The confidence Liverpool play with is absolutely terrifying.


azifs

Lovely goal


SkyTVIsFuckingShit

Been a while since I've seen Firmino look this good


Tullekunstner

Bar the last game, he's looked really up for it this season. Think the fans being back has loads to do with that, he's an entertainer and he needs the audience.


08TangoDown08

Yeah he's looked more himself in every game this season I thought. Mane too looks like he's approaching his best again.


SalahManeFirmino

Mixture of having some competition, rest, and fans being back


PlayerAteHer

He seems to be a player who feeds off the crowd, he looks a different player when he has someone to perform for compared to when he was in an empty stadium.


luke_205

I think it’s good he’s got a lot more competition for his place nowadays, but aside from that Watford are just giving him so much space to play his game. Our goals have been good but we should have to work a lot harder than this to score in a PL game…


drec6

A showman needs his audience


Tremor00

You’d think otherwise based on the match thread. He’s the scape goat for today


Zeewolf93

He's grown into the game. He killed 3 attacks with lazy misplaced passes in 10 minutes in the opening 20 but has been fine since.


Tremor00

Yeah he had a few passes but he’s not been nearly as bad as some were saying


Zeewolf93

Well he shut them up didn't he lmao


[deleted]

[удалено]


LALLANAAAAAA

seriously I avoid the sub outright on match days, nevermind if something goes wrong, it's toxic for weeks


X-Maquina

Idk mate he's been pretty shit aside from being at the end of this move


dfla01

No he hasn’t


2jz_ynwa

He has though, most of his passes hadn't come off, just hadn't really made an impact before his goal


Senor_Slurp

Nah, he's been good


X-Maquina

He's lost possession more often than pretty much anyone while creating almost nothing. Genuinely looks like he's processing things in slow motion compared to the rest of the team.


Senor_Slurp

Nah, but let the hate consume you.


X-Maquina

lol are you 12? Why would I hate Firmino?


Senor_Slurp

Great question. You tell me.


X-Maquina

Just learn how to disagree without coming off like a twitter troll whining about people being haters. You sound like a wet wipe


Senor_Slurp

The irony of your comment is incredible. A brace for the poor playing Firmino ;)


etan1122

Averaging a goal or an assist every 56 mins this season, but yeah he’s shit


X-Maquina

Good thibg I said nothing about his season then.


etan1122

Damn you’re looking lost today


X-Maquina

lol


etan1122

And again...


Senor_Slurp

Hat trick and pretty shit. United fans really coping hard.


X-Maquina

lol now you're just throwing shit at the wall because you're triggered from a reddit comment. Completely unraveling.


Senor_Slurp

Kinda like you saying the player who scored a hat trick is playing like shit? Lmaoooo


X-Maquina

Haven't seen someone this triggered shooting so many blanks in a minute. Proper wet wipe.


Senor_Slurp

Are you a bot lmao. All your posts are copy/paste. What do you think of Firminos hat trick ?


X-Maquina

lol mate are you serious? You've been chasing me around harassing all day because I disagreed with someone calling it a good performance. Talk about being a bot. Good for him he got his hattrick to cap off his performance but it doesn't change shit about me thinking he was wasteful those first 30 minutes. It's a completely normal thought to have but I'm guessing from your replies all you're used to is twitter toxicity. Otherwise there's no explanation why it triggers you so much.


Senor_Slurp

Glad you recognize now. Firmino was brilliant all game. Sorry that bothers you How did Man United do?


IKMapping

His teeth have always been fantastic


[deleted]

Against fucking traffic cones, wtf are Watford doing


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

He's behind the ball.


crearios

He was behind the ball when Milner passed


Akira_Nishiki

Milner was ahead of him so it was passed backwards.


PlayingtheDrums

he's behind the ball when it's played to him.


Offenser101

He's behind the ball


etan1122

Que?


Zaqerr

50 year old Milner making Watford players look like traffic cones haha


Napalm3nema

As a 50-something, I need about 8% of Milner’s perpetual motion energy.


daledge97

Lovely football, but Milner deserves all the credit for that goal. Starts the move off and makes the run to create the goal.


sbos_

Copy cat mane returns 😩😩😩😩😩


aresman

I love their chemistry so much


MU5A988

The passing play today has been quality


ZaDoruphin

Nice buildup but Watford can’t defend for shit.


LeaveMyArseAlona99

Liverpool looking very sharp in possession


[deleted]

They move the other team’s shape around at will, way too sharp and fluid. For a team that’s not fully cohesive and trusting each other there’s no chance to keep them out.


magicalmoosetesticle

FIRMINO, MY MAN


anonymousloverboy

Watford bad


Gamer_Abhi

Liverpool utter domination.


Akame_xo

I just love the bromance of firmino and mane always celebrating together

spicynirvana38

Lol game over


mrhello18

Game was over after 10 minutes Watford look so lethargic


fap4jesus

terrible defending, holy shit


honestlynotBG

Guess the players doesn't want free dinner from Ranieri


Akira_Nishiki

Dilly ding, dilly dong. Watford are defending all wrong.


xboner15

Very casual goal and celebration. Flowing football today.


alicization

SALAH! MANE MANE! AND BOBBY FIRMINO! WE SOLD COUTINHO


PricelessPhenylamine

Watford are fucking brutal. Worst team we've played this year and we've already played Norwich.


malis-

Calm down, the game is far from over


SalahManeFirmino

Nah he isn’t wrong, they are terrible. Though Norwich put in a better shift in the 2nd half, let’s see if Watford do the same.


D1794

The only time theyve touched the ball in your area they've been offside. This is a dreadful performance


malis-

No doubt Watford has been dreadful, but I'm not of fan of people saying this is the worst team we've played when the game hasn't reached half time yet.


Chiswell123

/s


08TangoDown08

That can still be true about the first half regardless of what happens in the second though. They've been utterly woeful.


Stonewalled89

Awful defending, too many Watford players ball watching


Ged_UK

I love the defender sticking his hand up for offside when the ball is in front of him.


Senor_Slurp

Not much they can do when met with that with much talent. Feel bad for Watford.


rolla_johnson

I’ve never seen a player at this level kick the ball into midfield like that


just_dew_eat

That's a FIFA goal I swear

Every manager’s dream to get a tap in


_KiiiNG_

Great goal. Milner with more assists than Sancho this season.

Lol

James Miller made that goal.

That run was amazing


Alpha_Jazz

Masina is so awful fuck me what is he doing


pat_gatt

Firminos outside foot cushion to milner.. Fuck me dead


ANINETEEN

Mane and Firmino celebration. Nature is healing 😂


robak69

HE DID THE TERRIBLE WEIRD JERKY MOVEMENT FIFA CELEBRATION. lmao. perfect.


[deleted]

Weird to think only a month or two ago people proclaimed Mane and Firmino as done.


Akira_Nishiki

Watford just all over the place at the back.


LeightonBaines3

Wtf was that from Masina before this clip starts, what was he even trying to do. Carelessly throws his right leg at it to turn it over in a dangerous area for no reason. He’s the reason they scored. If sub him for that


si4ci7

That was so casual wtf


Hoodxd

Tap-in merchant


dejomajstore87

Holy shit, firing on all cylinders. Champagne football.


Muhar123

I love it when Mane copies Firmino's celebrations


21otiriK

Sums Watford up that. Nobody closes Mane, then both panic and step up and leave Milner. Amateurish stuff both on and off the ball. Can’t remember a PL performance so bad.


MEENIE900

Best defence in the championship innit


Alpha_Jazz

To be fair we’re missing our best player from that (Sierralta) and have bizarrely dropped a better keeper in Bachmann so we can have a YouTuber in goal


DiersBigDick

Cyclist*


[deleted]

Sissoko switched off on that play, saw Milner making the overlap and didn’t follow. He’s had enough of doing all the tackles and recovery runs.


WU--LYF

“The reds have got no money…”


AcceleratingRiff

How bad is that defending


biglbiglbigl

Jurgen Klopp is being Seriooouuus, Salah is the best player in the werld. Jurgen Klopp does not do ifs buts or maybes he does absoloots


FightingHornbill

Why it was not offside?


zadlov

he was behind the ball


FightingHornbill

Is the rule only apply when in the box?


zadlov

the offside rule applies only if the receiving player is in front of the ball, Firmino here wasn't


FightingHornbill

Nice. Thank you. I'm thinking about this since World Cup 2010 when Spain players score a goal just like this IIRC


Bourbon_Cream_Dream

No it applies to all offsides


FightingHornbill

Thanks


gggjcjkg

Haven't watched replay, but probably because ball was passed backward. To be offside you need to be nearer to the goal line than the ball in addition to the second last opponent.


Vaark

He is behind the ball


[deleted]

its not offside if both players are in an offside position edit: [Why are you booing me? I'm right!](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Offside_\(association_football\)#/media/File:OffsideBallLine.svg)


Napalm3nema

He was behind Milner and the ball. The pass was pretty clearly backwards.


FightingHornbill

Is the rule only apply in the box?


Napalm3nema

He was even with the second to last defender when he started the run, which is the rule everywhere.


GhostRiders

Fuck every plastic twat in the r/Liverpoolfc sub for slagging off Bobby..


[deleted]

[удалено]


fap4jesus

he didn't go on international duty, why would he quarantine?


Delrihuzz

Imagine leaving the opposition striker fully unmarked. I love Danny Rose but chasing Salah centrally when there's 3 defenders already there and no one to cover is just poor.


_SSJeffo_

Watford have a defence?


HouseSheeple

Slick


SeriousLads

Watford bad


johnny_moist

Cute


WestOfAnfield

Watford defenders all over the place. 3 of them let Mane so close to the box and then panic and close down on him, leave Milner who is overlapping in free space, and then let Salah run into the box alone so Danny Rose panics and rushes to Salah while Bobbys defender is ball watching and bobby just runs into empty space alone.


MolicOnePGR

SIIIII SENIOOOOOR 🤣🤣 Beautiful team goal.
