Post match: WBA v Liverpool (EPL 16/05/21 16:30)

Would be nice to hear from Mike Dean on the matter.

I’m pretty sure it’s only a dropped ball if the referee touches the ball. I thought he gave a free kick for the Baggies player having a little nibble at Fabinho, although no-one seems to have mentioned this.

We have to be clinical in front of goal. Too often this season, we’ve failed to take chances in games and ended up hanging on for a win or throwing points away late on. Newcastle, Leeds
etc, etc. Yesterday, we had three clear chances to score, Mane, Firmino and Gini, all were wasted. If more of these chances were converted into goals, we wouldn’t be shitting our pants towards the end of a game. We need to sign a natural goal scorer, one that can stay fit also.

Sorry to hear about your loss @Icedagger and @Mascot. My condolences to you and your family.

We have Salah, Mané and Jota. Jota’s injuries can all be explained by physical contact with opposition players.
So that leaves Firmino, get in a replacement for him or use him better by having a midfielder running off his shoulder or helping out between opposition lines more often like what Jones does?

As far as I can remember we didn‘t win a single header in their box.
Bar the last of the game.:slightly_smiling_face:
Wonderful stuff.

It is only a dropped ball if the ball hits the ref. If a player comes in contact its play on.

On the corner - it was about time we put an inswinging corner in. Watching Robertson put those outswingers in all game was painful, we were never going to score from them. Hopefully we take note and have Trent put them in from that side from now it, it was a superb ball and an even better header.

100% agree with this.

I been saying for weeks we’ll still get champions league.

How quickly believers turn to doubters.

This is Liverpool Football Club.

We get the job done even if we have to do something completely utterly ridiculous like get the goalie up in the 94th minute to score a worldie of a header.

Fuck up lads… believe… because why wouldn’t you :rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

Four. You missed the miss by Trent.

Sky Sports is a little bit behind the radio, so it’s with put up with Tyler, watch it with no sound, or know what’s happening before you see it.

Stodgy game but what an unexpected and very emotional ending. So pleased for Alisson after what he has had to go through. I will admit to a lump in my throat during his interview.

This should be pinned inside the dressing room…

Perhaps it was simply Jasper’s way of compensating for the “non-foul” (one of many) which gave the baggies their free kick which led to their goal.

I mean, could yokuslu be any less convincing?

I distinctly remember this. Got so pissed off during the game when this happened. It’s this what encourages the likes of Fat Sam to play his dirty brand of football and get away with it.

Shambolic referring and we didn’t come out worse from a result perspective, but we definitely didn’t finally had things ‘going our way’ the media were quick on jumping upon.

After the dust has settled now must say what a great moment Allison getting his goal was but looking at it logically another poor overall performance by the Reds. Thought we were slow and predictable once again. Their keeper was marginally busier than Allison and although we had the lion’s share of the ball we never looked very threatening in the last third of the pitch. Thought Thiago had his best game to date for us but the rest of the lads were bang average. It seems that the lower teams have sussed out how to defend against us and we need to move the ball faster and not allow teams to get men back behind the ball before we get to the half way line. I’m sure we’ll see the same problem on Wednesday against Burnley.
Although I think Thiago had a good game my MOM has to go to Allison for the wonderful moment at the end of the game.

I was crying out for Trent to take an inswinger from that side. Every single outswinging corner was headed away by Sam’s grocks. With the inswinger there’s always a chance that a defender might misjudge and deflect it backwards towards goal. Or that your keeper heads it in, of course. What a delivery from Trent, though, under that amount of pressure. World class.

I’ve muted it and put some music on especially with no crowd, at least the crowd make Tyler rise his voice a little.

Usually leave it on for any other team but he is such a knob when it comes to us.

Or possibly, Ataturk here we come again.
Seems that Anfield (far)East is awaiting to re-welcome the Reds at the third time of asking, having their latest CL Final hosting plans postponed in 2020 and again this year. Hopefully, UEFA will shift the scheduled venue to Istanbul once again.
