Post Match: Brighton v Liverpool (EPL 28/11/20 12.30pm)

Frustrating day, and the mathematical analysis and Brexit throw away line comes out… hopefully we don’t start killing each other after a shitty draw!

Klopp is right about the schedule. The early Sat slot needs to be for non European playing teams, in future contracts, since common sense in a pandemic hit season is hard to come by.

The one thing I’m slightly questioning is Klopp talking about Wilder. He is clearly in his head as we weren’t even playing them today. I want our manager to fight our corner, so on the one hand I didn’t mind it. But on the other hand, Wilder is not a rival and we shouldn’t get involved, as you can look small getting into those sort of spats.

The good point Klopp did make, about the five subs, is that it would be to save the players, not to enact massive tactical changes.

Anyway, point still stands… give them nothing Jurgen. You are box office and they need you. Send Lijnders out for a bit.

Anyhow Jota is a real find.

There would be more weight to this if the first thing he’d done hadn’t been to immediately look at the ref when he made contact.

He knew right away that he was in trouble.

Listening to Kelly’s tone there, and Klopp’s tone, I’m surprised that people are coming out saying Klopp needs to calm down.

Always thought Des Kelly to be a snidey tosser.

frustrating to say the least
injuries are part of the game, but the number of injuries we have at the moment is getting ridiculous
to add salt to the wounds are the stupid and inconsistent decisions made by the so called referees on the pitch and the idiots watching in Stockley Park

Welbeck apparently told Hendo it wasn’t a pen. That’s nice.

Well it seemed obvious from them as they didn’t bother appealing.

If you think closely about it even that is a wrong application of rule making; the goal line actually ends at the post, and then continues either side as the bye line. What possible prejudice could there be in being more close to the bye line than defender? You still have to also get across to actualise the prejudice.

The mischief that the rule seeks to address is over-protected, basically so they can enforce it easier. If they want to get this technical with CAD based VAR applications to offside, then we are entitled to get this technical about the law making.

If there is sense in the idea that you get an advantage over a defender by receiving the ball more closer to the ‘goal line’ there is no advantage in being closer to the bye line. So the proper instrument of measure is an arc projected from in between the posts to the point of the last defender. Its actually about triangles (Scalene to be precise), not lines, and if the attacker is outside the defender, as in closer to the touchline, his line to the goal is actually a greater distance.

At school I only thought my compass was useful for stabbing my neighbours leg, but seemingly not.

That cunt was playing dumb trying to deflect the blame to the PL as if who plays on this particular slot isn’t determined by BT and Sky.

Klopp was understandably angry and upset. He didn’t have the lucidity to put him in his place, plus the language barrier didn’t help.

Yeah as I said they had the 3pm kick off today, Man City played earlier on Wednesday so it would have made sense for the teams to swap around.

Nope, and to think other leagues still accommodate their teams in Europe to the best of their ability.

They would draw lines all over the screen to check where the feet, hands and balls are

If that talk goes on, the players will start feeling sorry for themselves and take it as an excuse to not perform at 100%, and that’s usually the point when everything goes down the drain.

So, no more complaints in public please.

I dont recall ever seeing Klopp as ruffled before, is this correct?

PL will do anything for the shitty, but for us no!! You can see where this is going…

There are many ways to create a siege mentality. I’m not sure Klopp allows a culture of excuses. Maybe there’s always a first time, but he’s the world’s best for a reason.

Klopp confirmed thiago will miss ajax and wolves.

Sheffield voted to leave. I don’t know how Wilder voted nor do I give a fuck. Read his comments about Klopp. He’s a fucking prick.

What you lads thinking of Carra? I’m losing some love for him to be honest. Not sure what his issue is.
