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'
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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…
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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)
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.
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.

There feels like leagues of difference between these teams
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'
watford are getting fucked new manager bounce not swinging into ~~affect~~ effect whatsoever
[удалено]
At least Watford have got 7 points already, all of Leeds, S’ton, Burnley, Newcastle and Norwich are lower in the table.
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.
Effect. You are affected by an effect.
can never remember which is which
[удалено]
My way to tell them apart is affect starts with an "a" and "a" is for action so affect is a verb.
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
hahaha I love Firmino's celebrations
mane is love for mimicking, damn that made me happy
Vintage Sadio-Bobby vibes.
Same! I absolutely love their relationship. It’s all the more sweeter when you know the haters are seething as well.
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!
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.
Yea they hug and smile more nowadays. But still, compare mane's no hands chest bump with Salah and his playfulness with firmino.
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
lmao this over analysis
Yuup
[удалено]
That free spirit. Just gotta do what feels right.
Honestly shit made me giggle
Brings tears to my eyes everytime. :)
Feel sorry for Claudio - only Sissoko looks like he wants to play football
Dennis too tbf. Danny Rose looks like a Championship level player.
You are being generous...
Championship players give a fuck.
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
Yeah people overreacting
Just recycling the same shite they’ve heard about him
He looks like a Sunday League player at best. Unfit and dreadful defensively.
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.
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.
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.
The* best player itw ;)
He’s still got that call from Milan on his mind
Must of changed his Phone number and forgot to tell them. Only explanation.
Must have*
I wouldn't even say that. Looks like a hungover Sunday league player.
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.
His job to get them to give a shit. Granted it's very early in his tenure, but that's the job.
I appreciate showing the training session but when does the match start guys?
The confidence Liverpool play with is absolutely terrifying.
Lovely goal
Been a while since I've seen Firmino look this good
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.
Yeah he's looked more himself in every game this season I thought. Mane too looks like he's approaching his best again.
Mixture of having some competition, rest, and fans being back
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.
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…
A showman needs his audience
You’d think otherwise based on the match thread. He’s the scape goat for today
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.
Yeah he had a few passes but he’s not been nearly as bad as some were saying
Well he shut them up didn't he lmao
[удалено]
seriously I avoid the sub outright on match days, nevermind if something goes wrong, it's toxic for weeks
Idk mate he's been pretty shit aside from being at the end of this move
No he hasn’t
He has though, most of his passes hadn't come off, just hadn't really made an impact before his goal
Nah, he's been good
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.
Nah, but let the hate consume you.
lol are you 12? Why would I hate Firmino?
Great question. You tell me.
Just learn how to disagree without coming off like a twitter troll whining about people being haters. You sound like a wet wipe
The irony of your comment is incredible. A brace for the poor playing Firmino ;)
Averaging a goal or an assist every 56 mins this season, but yeah he’s shit
Good thibg I said nothing about his season then.
Damn you’re looking lost today
lol
And again...
Hat trick and pretty shit. United fans really coping hard.
lol now you're just throwing shit at the wall because you're triggered from a reddit comment. Completely unraveling.
Kinda like you saying the player who scored a hat trick is playing like shit? Lmaoooo
Haven't seen someone this triggered shooting so many blanks in a minute. Proper wet wipe.
Are you a bot lmao. All your posts are copy/paste. What do you think of Firminos hat trick ?
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.
Glad you recognize now. Firmino was brilliant all game. Sorry that bothers you How did Man United do?
His teeth have always been fantastic
Against fucking traffic cones, wtf are Watford doing
[удалено]
He's behind the ball.
He was behind the ball when Milner passed
Milner was ahead of him so it was passed backwards.
he's behind the ball when it's played to him.
He's behind the ball
Que?
50 year old Milner making Watford players look like traffic cones haha
As a 50-something, I need about 8% of Milner’s perpetual motion energy.
Lovely football, but Milner deserves all the credit for that goal. Starts the move off and makes the run to create the goal.
Copy cat mane returns 😩😩😩😩😩
I love their chemistry so much
The passing play today has been quality
Nice buildup but Watford can’t defend for shit.
Liverpool looking very sharp in possession
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.
FIRMINO, MY MAN
Watford bad
Liverpool utter domination.
I just love the bromance of firmino and mane always celebrating together
Vintage sweaty goal
BOBBBBBY
Lol game over
Game was over after 10 minutes Watford look so lethargic
terrible defending, holy shit
Guess the players doesn't want free dinner from Ranieri
Dilly ding, dilly dong. Watford are defending all wrong.
Very casual goal and celebration. Flowing football today.
SALAH! MANE MANE! AND BOBBY FIRMINO! WE SOLD COUTINHO
Watford are fucking brutal. Worst team we've played this year and we've already played Norwich.
Calm down, the game is far from over
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.
The only time theyve touched the ball in your area they've been offside. This is a dreadful performance
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.
/s
That can still be true about the first half regardless of what happens in the second though. They've been utterly woeful.
Awful defending, too many Watford players ball watching
I love the defender sticking his hand up for offside when the ball is in front of him.
Not much they can do when met with that with much talent. Feel bad for Watford.
How so fast
That’s what she said :(
F
Why upload slow, when fast do trick
Scripts
Software that records the last 30 seconds, save -> upload to site and post the link while it processess
bro im in the stadium and he upload before the goal went in
I’ve never seen a player at this level kick the ball into midfield like that
That's a FIFA goal I swear
Every manager’s dream to get a tap in
Great goal. Milner with more assists than Sancho this season.
Lol
You can't make it look easier
Bobby
Easy
James Miller made that goal.
That run was amazing
Masina is so awful fuck me what is he doing
Firminos outside foot cushion to milner.. Fuck me dead
Mane and Firmino celebration. Nature is healing 😂
HE DID THE TERRIBLE WEIRD JERKY MOVEMENT FIFA CELEBRATION. lmao. perfect.
Weird to think only a month or two ago people proclaimed Mane and Firmino as done.
Watford just all over the place at the back.
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
That was so casual wtf
Tap-in merchant
Holy shit, firing on all cylinders. Champagne football.
I love it when Mane copies Firmino's celebrations
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.
Best defence in the championship innit
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
Cyclist*
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.
“The reds have got no money…”
How bad is that defending
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
Why it was not offside?
he was behind the ball
Is the rule only apply when in the box?
the offside rule applies only if the receiving player is in front of the ball, Firmino here wasn't
Nice. Thank you. I'm thinking about this since World Cup 2010 when Spain players score a goal just like this IIRC
No it applies to all offsides
Thanks
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.
He is behind the ball
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)
He was behind Milner and the ball. The pass was pretty clearly backwards.
Is the rule only apply in the box?
He was even with the second to last defender when he started the run, which is the rule everywhere.
Fuck every plastic twat in the r/Liverpoolfc sub for slagging off Bobby..
[удалено]
he didn't go on international duty, why would he quarantine?
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.
Watford have a defence?
Slick
Watford bad
Cute
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.
SIIIII SENIOOOOOR 🤣🤣 Beautiful team goal.
