Everyone watch Episode 7 of the Barca doc on Rakuten, it's the CL semi. Barca looked broken at HT and it was only 1-0.

 

You only need to watch the first 25mins for Liverpool stuff.

Let's not fail to capitalise like last season!

Steve Bruce. Brilliant author, fantastic manager.

Can we have you pessimistic prediction please? No jinxing!

[bradigor]

Well, without Fab, we'll end up on the wrong side of a 4-3 thriller.

Definitely. Charlton Athletic do play in red.

Trent back in, Oxlaide-Chamberlain in for Fabinho. Well, not directly, assume Henderson or Gini will drop deeper with OC further forward.

 

Grab the brass ring Alex!

[CheekyLee]

Having Trent cross the ball in is like enabling cheat mode!

[bradigor]

Spamming it now. 

[glb]

Well, at least Allison gets a rest

[p b]

What is that? Just missed it.

 

[p b]

Didn't miss that 

[dizogg]

Just when you thought it was safe to unclench.

[Stig]

Wtf was he thinking. Why was he so far out his box anyway and why did he moved back towards his box, only to move towards the ball again when hed have been fine.

 

I'd rather hed have let the ball over his head. Where as now we've conceded  down to 10 and lose Alisson for 3 games (is it 3 if it's not violent conduct?)

[bradigor]

Oops 

[Mike]

 

[p b]

Well thanks for that 

[p b]

I for one appreciate the Liverpudlian conceding streak. It makes match days much more interesting and lively.

Should be a one game ban. Three is only for violent conduct.

[glb]

12 games without a clean sheet is the worst run since 1998 under Roy Evans. All about context

[Mike]

Makes Liverpool win BTTS bet free money.

[bradigor]

He misses the derby yes?

I thought so. Still pretty shithouse if the ref to blow when our keeper is clearly on the near post sorting he wall. Happens though I suppose 

[bradigor]

Find a way

[Oh Danny Boy]

I said today it will be one of those games which we’ll stroll to a 3 or 4 nil without getting out of second gear. Which would be nice for once.  I thought this was the case at 2-0. We never like making it easy do we? 

 

Vert harsh red, should be appealed in my opinion. Although Adrian has proven himself a more than able back up.

Which is amazing when you think about how bad the defence was when Rodgers was in charge

 

I have to admit I had completely forgotten we’d ever had a goalkeeper called Doni.

[ryodi]

Watching the highlights on YouTube you could argue that the ref blew before Adrian was ready and that the Brighton players weren't 1 meter from the Liverpool wall but players have to be aware of the risk of a quick free kick and actively stop it like Son did when we played Spurs .Alisson missing the Everton game is a lot but frankly it shouldn't matter against one of the most under performing Everton sides in years.

It’s mad that our statistically worst defence in 21 years is currently 11 points clear on top of the league. I like it, but it’s illogical.

It isn’t though... just same clean sheets right? For instance that 98-99 season we let in 49 goals way above our current average extrapolated over the season. Basically we’re very frequently conceding 1 goal, but nobody has scored 2 against us. That’s pretty good. 
 

After 14 games in the 98-99 season we’d conceded 2 or more goals 6 times.
