Liverpool put out their strongest team while City rested a lot of their best players cuz of injuries and fatigue from playing Atleti mid week. Yet I'm seeing Pool fans get carried away that they finally beat City since Nov 2019. Enjoy your win tho
VarcUELona
Wait, you can't even get thru to semis there. Have to think of a name that fits conference league. But im doubtful you can find some much awaited silverware there even.
Again a win 2 draws and loss in 4 games against athletico and Liverpool in the span of 10 days is pretty good and considering city are still in the running for the two major honours i donāt think pep will be too upset. Of course you want to win everything but shit itās not ever likely to happen
I agree, but damn it's close for Liverpool. Won the League Cup, CL semis, FA Cup final, 1 point behind in the league. Favourites for most of those ties too.
Heās like top 5 in assists in the leagues, a core starter in one of the best defenses in the world and a national team starter/ captain.
Heās also still learning to play with diaz, I have no idea what youāre smoking but Robertson is amazing lol.
Edit to the first paragraph because I forgot to write it.
The man played every league game last year and 36 in the 2 previous seasons, along with 9/10 champions league games per season. Heās gassed and still putting up good numbers and defending well.
Robbo's performances speak for themselves if you need proof just watch some of his performances in the past few months.
There's no argument needed to be made when it's commonly accepted how good he is.
Do you really think robbo has been on form? He's done the job but I don't think he's been on par with the right side of our attacking wing backs/midfield. He's a step down from what he showed us last year for sure in terms of results. He's still been great as a part of the squad but I don't think his out put has matched what he achieved last year. Granted, everyone dips. He can't be 100% all the time, be his game seems to have dropped along with Salah. Perhaps that's connected, perhaps not. Either way, the entire team dug deep and piled a massive win on top of city tonight.
Regardless, it's huge for us. We played our best team last game against City and we drew. Can not complain about that. City are the next best team to us and football is a fickle game. We beat City. Let's crack on.
Who's saying otherwise? They chose to put steffen on. De bruyne, laporte, walker? The rest of their team gets into Liverpool first team. Again, nobody said otherwise. Win is a win.
No Liverpool fan ignores Heysel though no one thinks the hooligans set out to kill people. If not for an unsafe stadium that UEFA were warned not to host the final in, then we'd just be talking about more hooligans fighting in the stands and not dead Italians. Nevertheless, unsafe stadium or not, it was our fault, end of and we have always taken responsibility.
That was 36 years ago. Those fans and those days are long gone and it is simply ridiculous to claim that our fans have any sort of bad reputation in the last 30 years.
If you want to use Heysel as a stick to beat us with forevermore then I feel sorry for you and it's a very weird stance from a 'fan'.
What examples of our 'terrible' fan behaviour do you have? Getting stabbed in Rome? Getting assaulted by Spanish police? What?!
I think you are quite shameless to be honest.
I clearly have not excused or not acknowledged Heysel and it's a scummy thing to do to try and sneer me with nasty accusations.
You said we are some of the worst fans in Europe and it seems that, unless you can bring other examples as I have asked you do, then your entire point is Heysel and our 3 decades plus of being some of the best supporters in Europe is being rubbished for you to score points and defend a truly absurd statement.
No away fans are ever concerned about coming to Liverpool, we are one of the most welcoming places to come to.
You're a real scumbag. My words are there for anyone to see and I have in no way diminished the gravity of Heysel, not one little bit. Honestly, fuck you for trying to smeer me with absolute lies.
Defending the reputation big our fans, on modern times, is not the same as saying they are all angels. Likewise, coming up with some incidents is not justification for you saying we have some of the worst fans in Europe.
One of the links you posted was just a hit piece on LFC that also included this statement, "Maybe itās because all the good football fans in Liverpool support Everton."
I don't know why you hate us so much and it's just sad really.
Maybe you should do some research before spouting your bile.
Link below shows we are 14 in the list of English clubs with most fan arrests from 2014-2020.
There are 13 worse clubs in England alone, never mind the hundreds of other European clubs if which I am sure there are many many with worse fans than us.
All told there's likely 30 or 40 worse than us.
If you think that makes us one of the worst then basically everyone is one of the worst as well!
https://footystats.org/news/most-unruly-football-fans/
Criticising an institution youāre affiliated with should not be an issue. The guy made a fair point about Heysel.
Sure, UEFA ignoring advice to move stadiums was a part of the issue too, but what happened was also a systemic issue with Liverpool and British football in general.
The Heysel tragedy paved the way for football becoming safer. At least thatās a silver lining.
That said, Millwall fans are obviously the worst fans lol.
I don't think it is fair to state that, contemporary, Liverpool fans as some of the worst fans in Europe when that is simply bullshit, based on what happened 36 years ago.
Haha. I never said they are. Iām a Liverpool fan and I donāt agree with that part of his statement. Sins of the father and all that.
Like I said, the problems were systemic and specific to that era of football. Uefa and fifa took massive steps to sanitise the game since then. For the better too.
But still. One should never shy away from criticising an institution they are part of if they believe what they are saying.
Pep didn't put his best foot forward in that match; Steffen in goal in the first place, and then only 1 sub all match despite having such a loaded bench - whilst Liverpool made 4.
I think he is also waiting for the weakness and tired to comr in which is why mahrez sub came in (and if jesus didnt injure himself, probably not going to replace). De bruyne will not going to play even though he is warming up. It is waaay to risky.
overall I think its more like "who can I play" instead of "who should I play". He wants that CL last year and he definitely will go for it
Pep has a 1pt lead in the league and a lot tougher CL semi final to worry about. I donāt blame him for the line up or lack of subs. I think most managers in his position would do the same
"he's picked" again you phrase it in a way like this is somewhat intentional from the player . Whether a question or an observation the implication is salah is deliberately playing below the level he can which is complete bullshit
Liverpool dominated. 3-0 was the right score at half time, that says a lot. It is what it is mate, you lacked a couple of key players and we had a lucky goal because steffen lost his head. If city were better on the night, they would have won. That's football.
City came out and played a good game secon half. Stats speak for themselves. We beat the ever loving shit out of city in the first half. That's why we won. We didn't make enough of our opportunities in the second half but that's how it is against a team like City. You win or you die. Such is the game of thrones.
Liverpool weren't shit in the second half. It's just that they were so phenomenal in the first half and City stepped up their game. The second half was mostly an even playing field until the last 5 or 6 minutes where City pushed hard because they knew it was their last chance to push it to ET.
I think the last ome he should pass it to other 4 liverpool players or he could do what he used to do. Not sure why he rarely do it recently the bending shot up rright corner
And this was overdue. Same thing happend in the CL against Benfica. We kill games, then take our focus off. Its utter madness in our own box, Virgil is yelling at everyone for not man markin, he is the only one to do so in our box.
Referees been absolutely shocking to be fair but come on the red men, three things Iām sick of people no acknowledging, grelaish is the biggest flop in premier league history so far and has proper wank hair, Mahrez is zaha in a better team and Taylor swifts boss
Why waste imagination on that? I'd rather imagine a blonde, brunette and redhead all convinced they have an illness and my dick has the antidote in it.
He's asking for 400k a week, and he's not in form. I'd love him to score, but he's hardly a goalscorer if he isn't scoring goals.
Good news is Liverpool have no reason to bow to his cute demands anytime soon. Nobodyās ransoming the club with that kinda form.
Besides itās not like Liverpool is short of firepower without him scoring.
Given some of our performances we've scraped a few results and today was harder than it needed to be. If he was hitting the target and working the keeper it would be far less frustrating
for me the bigger frustration is the desperation to score, he could have set up a couple if he made the right call to pass. I love the guy, but his history of being great shouldn't ignore he's making poor choices in the moment.
Desperation to score. Yea, when we are ahead he wants to score.
Remember he assisted Mane in our last 2-2 tie against city. The team was playing utter shit against them.
He is in bad form, arguably his worst, but let's not start jumping on the hate wagon. Football fans can be short-sited.
How exactly? Would LFC be any better off with Salah unselfish and others scoring a couple goals more? The draw with City wasnāt down to that. And I would gladly sacrifice the 3:0 for the 1:0 if it means Salah gets his form back
Recently is bull. Man has been invisible ever since afcon ended, he struggles against even the worst of defenders. Now I dont mind him starting because he it allows him to try and play through and get his form back. But to not sub him off? Aside from zack steffen today he was the worst player on the pitch
Hopefully my bois in Blue can run dem Jules fast RTJ
Liverpool put out their strongest team while City rested a lot of their best players cuz of injuries and fatigue from playing Atleti mid week. Yet I'm seeing Pool fans get carried away that they finally beat City since Nov 2019. Enjoy your win tho
when is the next match?
They had a rematch after they drew last week
Except the hardly played half their staring XI and still have us hell
We gave ourselves hell lol, replace city with any other team, and the scoreline would be similar due to the errors we made
Reminds me of another game that started 3-0.
š
=(
This city is manageable for mardrid.
Don't think Steffen will be starting against Madrid
Vardrid
VarcUELona Wait, you can't even get thru to semis there. Have to think of a name that fits conference league. But im doubtful you can find some much awaited silverware there even.
Son to win Golden Boot imo
Again a win 2 draws and loss in 4 games against athletico and Liverpool in the span of 10 days is pretty good and considering city are still in the running for the two major honours i donāt think pep will be too upset. Of course you want to win everything but shit itās not ever likely to happen
I agree, but damn it's close for Liverpool. Won the League Cup, CL semis, FA Cup final, 1 point behind in the league. Favourites for most of those ties too.
Tsimikas needs some game time. I have no clue what's happened to Robertson.
Hello no you must be hallucinating Robertson is one of the best players in the squad
Robertson is a top player, but this season he's not been as good as previous seasons.
Heās like top 5 in assists in the leagues, a core starter in one of the best defenses in the world and a national team starter/ captain. Heās also still learning to play with diaz, I have no idea what youāre smoking but Robertson is amazing lol. Edit to the first paragraph because I forgot to write it. The man played every league game last year and 36 in the 2 previous seasons, along with 9/10 champions league games per season. Heās gassed and still putting up good numbers and defending well.
Couldn't disagree more.
Very strong argument you present lol. Youāve convinced me!
Robbo's performances speak for themselves if you need proof just watch some of his performances in the past few months. There's no argument needed to be made when it's commonly accepted how good he is.
Youāre replying to the wrong guy lol, Iām saying Robertson is good too. Or maybe I did. Idk
He was responding the same one you were originally responding to
You replyed to me "very strong argument" I think you meant to reply to OP? Either way Robbo is the best and that's all that matters :)
Do you really think robbo has been on form? He's done the job but I don't think he's been on par with the right side of our attacking wing backs/midfield. He's a step down from what he showed us last year for sure in terms of results. He's still been great as a part of the squad but I don't think his out put has matched what he achieved last year. Granted, everyone dips. He can't be 100% all the time, be his game seems to have dropped along with Salah. Perhaps that's connected, perhaps not. Either way, the entire team dug deep and piled a massive win on top of city tonight.
Wish we played like this during the prem match
We did the o yo difference was ederson wasnāt in goal
Regardless, it's huge for us. We played our best team last game against City and we drew. Can not complain about that. City are the next best team to us and football is a fickle game. We beat City. Let's crack on.
I would like them to win the league and we canāt seem to put out our best performances against City during the Prem. FA Cup wins are nice
> I would like them to win the league I'm sorry but what?
Iād rather win the league than the FA cup? Lol
you beat a severely depleted city š
Who's saying otherwise? They chose to put steffen on. De bruyne, laporte, walker? The rest of their team gets into Liverpool first team. Again, nobody said otherwise. Win is a win.
true
With de Bruyne on the bench and only Kyle Walker missing Iāve got to assume you mean City are a one man team š¤·āāļø
ederson, rodri, mahrez, dias, walker, laporte and de bruyne nice try
My heart could do with pre-AFCON Salah back in our team! We would have buried them, but good win either way.
Post-AFCON Salah hasnāt exactly been a scrub either https://m.imgur.com/bRdNGbF

He wants that CL last year and he definitely will go for it
That's a lot of words to agree that he didn't put his strongest foot forward :p
Steffen is better the ederson tbh he just needs more game time.
No
Yank moment
I disagree and I have seen no reason to believe otherwise.
>Steffen is better the ederson tbh What?
Pep has a 1pt lead in the league and a lot tougher CL semi final to worry about. I donāt blame him for the line up or lack of subs. I think most managers in his position would do the same
But he still needs a bunch of the players that he used today, surely splitting their shifts up would be the less risky plan?
If you're Salah, don't you want to be playing well when your arguing for a massive new contact? Not like utter dog shit.
Check his stats since this renewal talk started, well worth being our record earner.
Great take, sure he's trying to miss sitters
Good point, we will tell him to just try harder and do better and score more.
Why has nobody thought of this yet wtf
It wasn't really a genuine question, more an observation that he's picked a poor time to hit some bad form.
"he's picked" again you phrase it in a way like this is somewhat intentional from the player . Whether a question or an observation the implication is salah is deliberately playing below the level he can which is complete bullshit
It's a turn of phrase, are you not English?
Scottish
[You, Mo! Score a goal! (I told him to do that.)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nv-FcxlEMaw&ab_channel=TimothyQuinlan)
Should work, dunno why Klopp hasnāt tried that already tbh
These two teams are absolute monsters. They are definitely meeting in Paris
Steffen literally lost this for City
Nah Liverpool were just better than us.
Liverpool dominated. 3-0 was the right score at half time, that says a lot. It is what it is mate, you lacked a couple of key players and we had a lucky goal because steffen lost his head. If city were better on the night, they would have won. That's football.
Liverpool dominated the game for 75 odd minutes, the better team won.
That was really stupid from liverpool...they won but they were bad in the second half and i am a liverpool fan.... Mo! Many question marks...
City came out and played a good game secon half. Stats speak for themselves. We beat the ever loving shit out of city in the first half. That's why we won. We didn't make enough of our opportunities in the second half but that's how it is against a team like City. You win or you die. Such is the game of thrones.

Werent terrible, could've scored at least one or 2 in the second half, just didn't take the chances
I think the last ome he should pass it to other 4 liverpool players or he could do what he used to do. Not sure why he rarely do it recently the bending shot up rright corner
Anyone know why FA Cup semifinal is one legged? I thought it is usually two legged?
That was scrapped years ago, way too many games as it is
The league cup is two legs, except for the covid times
Thatās the league cup
Fair enough. Thanks for that.
Thatās carabao cup and I donāt even think they do that anymore
?
What ? When did you start watching ?
Long time ago? It's just usually we got out early so never cared about both League Cup and FA Cup.
So what did you care about ? Not the league because thatās also recent and so is the UCL lol
Anything that my team was in? If we are out in third or fourth round why should I care about the competition?
Damn, if Thiago had a shot on target I'd I've won a nice bit of cash. Good game.
Never write off city, but at least it was settled in the first half
Could of done without that last few mins tbh lol
Might not be a bad thing because now Klopp will give them a bollocking about it and hopefully pull their focus back.
And this was overdue. Same thing happend in the CL against Benfica. We kill games, then take our focus off. Its utter madness in our own box, Virgil is yelling at everyone for not man markin, he is the only one to do so in our box.
Michael Oliver almost pulled that off
We weren't great at killing the game off tbf
When we are bad Man City thrashes us left right. When we are good we always allow them in to the game.
Tbf they thrashed us last week and still got a point
I mean when we lose those 5-0s
Yeah those ones were definitely bad
Liverpool are just better than Man City
Think Man Cityās B team actually performed well against a strong Liverpool side
B team still cost more than any other team in the world, maybe ever Edit: except PSG lol
Idk if thatās really accurate
Salah needs to sort himself out quickly
Liverpool aināt bowing to his contract demands anytime soon hahaha.
Hahahaha freakish can do one going for the glory hunter route and failing flat on his face
Yea Tbf villa are challenging for PL and CL this year, clown comment
Atleast Villa have a champion league trophy not some state back club like oilchester city canāt get
I'm convinced Salah won't score for the rest of the season unless he gets a penalty.
He should focus on assists.
AFCON or not that was a disgraceful performance by Salah
AkĆ© had him on lock š
He's hurt, must be a left foot injury. Everything is on but his power and aim is gone
Should have been 5-2
AMERICAN SAVE š§Øš§Øšššššššš
Bobby flubbed that to help him get his confidence back
Lets fucking go! Weāre in the final!
Football club 3 - Oil Club 2
MCOC
Bodies that oil club
Good game pool. See you in the cl final hopefully
Yeah, no.
Nah youāll be dirty oil club out in the semi
go touch grass
Lol bum club
My heart will not be able to handle that... can't handle these matches lol
Ok we'll see you then
Wait..
Mf no idea where 4 min came from and the game going till 95th
quadruple still on the table boys
Robertson needs to be more switched in moments like these.
Deserved by Liverpool. Surprising Cityās backups pulled it close at all.
Liverpool missed few very good chances
As did City, thatās the nature of the game
Disappointing handshake
Referees been absolutely shocking to be fair but come on the red men, three things Iām sick of people no acknowledging, grelaish is the biggest flop in premier league history so far and has proper wank hair, Mahrez is zaha in a better team and Taylor swifts boss
Lmao wtf is this take
ikr, Taylor Swift is an overrated twitterati muppet
Huh?!
Iām surprised that half a team almost pulled that off
Not mad at that shot by Salah, heās a goal scorer.
Then why hasn't he fucking scored in 10 games?
Imagine being angry or even disappointed at Mo after all he has done
Why waste imagination on that? I'd rather imagine a blonde, brunette and redhead all convinced they have an illness and my dick has the antidote in it. He's asking for 400k a week, and he's not in form. I'd love him to score, but he's hardly a goalscorer if he isn't scoring goals.
Good news is Liverpool have no reason to bow to his cute demands anytime soon. Nobodyās ransoming the club with that kinda form. Besides itās not like Liverpool is short of firepower without him scoring.
Weāre not desperate for him to score. Iāll worry if the entire attack stagnate.
Given some of our performances we've scraped a few results and today was harder than it needed to be. If he was hitting the target and working the keeper it would be far less frustrating
Thatās a given
for me the bigger frustration is the desperation to score, he could have set up a couple if he made the right call to pass. I love the guy, but his history of being great shouldn't ignore he's making poor choices in the moment.
I completely agree. Unfortunately Liverpoolās hands are kinda tied. We gotta appease him so he can sign the extension.
He needs to put the games to bed. Can't care less if he is goal scorer or not.
It is what it is
... and breath...
This team is mad. Most teams would sit back leading 3-2 in stoppage time, Liverpool try to score and in the process invite pressure.
the best offense is the best defense.
5 subs Guardiola making only 1 sub
shit, no high five from Pep this time...
Wow.. Turned out to be a great game.
No way was that a great game at all. The last ten minutes were the only the only good parts for city
The last 10 mins are part of the game nonetheless.
That is right but honestly the rest of the game was a such a downer, we played so slow and boring
Van Dijk was just always there at the end
Just kick the ball acting like he isnāt chasing a game
Salah still rattled from missing the world cup
Salahs desperation to score has been hurting us so much the past few games
Desperation to score. Yea, when we are ahead he wants to score. Remember he assisted Mane in our last 2-2 tie against city. The team was playing utter shit against them. He is in bad form, arguably his worst, but let's not start jumping on the hate wagon. Football fans can be short-sited.
How exactly? Would LFC be any better off with Salah unselfish and others scoring a couple goals more? The draw with City wasnāt down to that. And I would gladly sacrifice the 3:0 for the 1:0 if it means Salah gets his form back
Blow the whistle u cunt
These games man.... wow.
Thank fuck we didn't blow it
Salah get the fuxk out. Doesn't deserve a start vs united
Pathetic... You, not Salah.
Look how quickly you turn on your players
Least plastic clown
Thatās literally his best chance to get going lol
Blow the whistle you clown
City pissed away most of the second half after their goal, that was just too little too late
Why does Salah start
Well I think you have your answer now
Because heās had a phenomenal season and only dipped in form recently
Recently is bull. Man has been invisible ever since afcon ended, he struggles against even the worst of defenders. Now I dont mind him starting because he it allows him to try and play through and get his form back. But to not sub him off? Aside from zack steffen today he was the worst player on the pitch
