Liverpool Football Club Thread

[Jamin]

Dowd was shocking last night - missed big decisions and unnecessarily turned the match into a yellow card fest.

Massive 3 points though. It was certainly an interesting match, the two main playmakers for both sides were relatively subdued (Coutinho & Eriksen).

Those complaining about Michael Owen got lucky. My stream had Phil Neville co-commentating.

[Sng]

Was Mignolet complaining about something else because how did he know Kane was offside from his angle?

Think even from his angle he could tell.

EDIT:

Probably looked even further offside than he is from Mignolet's angle.

[JamesTW]

yeah he well off where he's looking but it would be hard for that second to know he's not level with Sakho to his left if he's concentrating on the free kick shot coming in

[Kelthink]

We won! This is really tedious guys. Also I Emre Can is amazing and dreamy.

[Liquid Myth]

Liverpool fourth to last on MOTD tonight, after the giants of Newcastle vs Crystal Palace. Fuck Alan Shearer.

I'm glad someone else has noticed this. We play some of the best football in the league yet we are always near the end.

[JamesTW]

It's because it was Tuesday night and most people knew the score or even seen the goals, It probably would of been the same if every game last night was 0-0

[glb]

Also, we're a big draw audience-wise, so putting us down the pecking order retains viewers. More important on ad-fuelled shows, but MOTD still wants to be able to say X, Y or Z million people watch every show.

[Takizawa]

Yep, this is much more exciting than the offside talk

[milko]

Palace Newcastle was also Pardew against his old club innit.

[milko]

By the way, did any of you lot notice you've got shiny new electronic signs distracting you from the action? Anfield is a really tricky place to work, man. In Champs League games the corners are filled in and the Kop End raises up to match the heights of the other two lines.

[christaylor]

He was offside, there was no contact from Mig, and Kane dived. Other than that, definitely a penalty...

We definitely had the bulk of Dowd's awful decisions: offside goal against us (from a highly questionable free kick that at the very least was never a yellow for Gerrard), various other ridiculous bookings (though maaaybe Sakho's was worth a yellow), no penalty if it weren't for the linesman standing firm, etc.

Mig absolutely did contact Kane, he swiped him from the side after the ball had gone past. It was idiotic and we were lucky to get away with it. I think the ref ignored it as the ball had more or less gone out by the time it happened.

[Azrael]

How long is Lucas out for? Heard someone casually say a few months. Say it ain't so

We were lucky it wasn't given but we were unlucky that the linesman didn't have good enough eyes to see Kane was off in the first place, and more times after that.

[ryodi]

Another defensive calamity. I don't think there was any more Mignolet could have done after Skrtel's header.

[SweatyTravolta]

Why in 2015 are so many people slipping on the pitch. Are the boots that shit these days? I know Palace watered the pitch but they seem to be keeping their footing fine.

[Gabe]

It's rare that I moan about referees, but a pretty clear penalty denied, nothing old booking for Henderson, Palace players not getting booked for holding back. Rubbish.

[Guest]

Michael Owen also agreed it was a penalty. Therefore it probably wasn't.

Hey, even a broken clock is right twice a day!

[Chewylegs]

Pardew has Palace diving well.

[hmm]

If you take the Skrtel mistake out of it, that was a comfortable, accomplished away win on a bit of a bogey ground of late. Absolutely dominant in possession and created a good few chances without much trouble at the back. Should have had a penalty too.

Mig was very good, again - several excellent punches, one good one-on-one save, etc. No idea if he can be a long term solution but he's certainly stepped it up recently.

[JamesTW]

The teams we have beat so far we owed revenge in the FA Cup so wouldnt be suprised if we get Reading

[Commander Jameson]

Looks like a favourable draw. Home against Blackburn with Preston or Man U hosting Arsenal.

[Adrock]

Blackburn is definitely a better draw from the ones available. Nice to be playing at Anfield too.

You'd hope a semi final at Wembley is more likely than not.

[Commander Jameson]

My main worry about Blackburn is their pacy attack. The guy that got the hat trick in the last round was just burning past defenders.

[Stig]

4 game European ban for Markovic. What kind of BS is that.

[Guest]

What's that for?

[Adrock]

The attack on the Basel player, the razor sharp finger nail that nearly cut off the player's nose.

He was stupid for flinging his hand out though. It was 3 games for a straight red and the 4th was due to his recent sending off whilst playing for Benfica against Juventus in the Europa league last season.

[p b]

Why is Gerrard commenting and not playing? Banned? Injured?

[Stig]

Injured
