Pre Match: Brentford v. Liverpool, 1730 UTC, Monday 02 January 2023 (Premier League)

Yes, ref was shite today. Was there any dubious decision that would influence the match heavily and was not given?

The ref cannot shoot at goal instead of our lads. And we were never close of scoring the second goal tonight.

Don’t put words in my mouth never said we are loosing because of Atwell. You always seem to make these snipe remarks towards me, put me on ignore if you don’t like what I write

Not one our best nights. I hope they use the time until the next game well.

Not really, we’d lost all sort of purpose at least 5 minutes before that. We were back to the good old tried and trusted punt the ball into the box and lose the ball tactics which have served us to get mid-table.

He wasn’t eased of it by an opponents shoulder. He trod on his foot.

Yeah, I wasn’t too concerned until a lot of the backroom staff started leaving. That’s pretty telling that there’s something now structurally wrong at the club. The amount of money invested in the squad should be seeing better returns this season. Klopp is very good but not a miracle worker, and he needs to show a bit more adaptability in the current environment. Losing Mane and replacing him with Nunez should have seen a big paradigm shift in our matchday approach, because Mane pressing from the front was one of the main things that made the 4-3-3 system work. Failing to adapt to that has cost us dearly this season. That, and not investing in the midfield which all of us could see needed some investment.

Agree mate, I mentioned something in the Premier League chat regarding the state of football and mentioned refs not understanding the nuances of what is and isn’t a foul or the dark arts, like the push on Konate

Fair enough.

Bet he wishes he was on the pitch…just a query…if he’s been charged…why is he still allowed to play.???

Cmon you Gooner cunts.

Do not fuck this up.

what pish. it was a goal as clear as day.

The midfield really needs to be sorted out this season.
We have awful this sesson so far.

Innocent till proven guilty its not Russia.

The thing with playing a team like Brentford with 60m punts up the field every chance… the referee has no f***in chance of keeping up with play whatsoever… so he needs to tell the linesman to keep him in the loop for he is now the guy who should have flagged with the Ibou situation at the third goal…

They had a full month to prepare for the Christmas period and only played one decent game out of four. I do not expect a miracle now.

The contact was from behind, Konate had position and with the speed couldn’t be strong as moving forward at pace trying to play the ball stops that, as to get strong you need to be moving far slower

Yeah, happens way too much on this forum and basically every other football forum. And then we get these urban legends with how the ref is after our club and only our club, which I find boring and more than a bit pathetic.
Ref’s have a thankless job. I dont understand how so many can go on with all the unfair abuse they get, since the pay is no where near what players get.

You think midfielders are on a grocery store shelf?

The fucking problem is that if we’re crap, and the referee makes a clanger we’re not allowed to talk about it because we’ve been shit. Apparently.

Nobody is saying we were robbed by the referee. But that all fucking day long is a foul, Atwell plays on because he is a fucking cunt.

And we we were shit. Is that OK, forum police?
