What? He absolutely did, he caught him full in the face, and he needed stitches around his eye. Ederson's face looked like a Picasso afterwards.

Did it? It was a while back, maybe I had my blinkers on!

[Chewylegs]

Think you are right

[Stigweard]

GET IN

[ryodi]

Definite penalty, let's see Athletico play instead of shithousing for the last 15 minutes. 

[CheekyLee]

And now we need to keep ball for 15 minutes. 

[Chewylegs]

That challenge for the penalty was hilarious!

[Stigweard]

Penalty the other way now 

[Stigweard]

Diving prick

[Keiths_Dad]

Fucking hell. This is crazy.

[ryodi]

LiVARpool lol.

[Chewylegs]

Gone down far too easily.  Contact doesn't mean foul does it.

[Stigweard]

[CheekyLee]

Peter Walton is such a bellend. Tying himself in knots to agree with the on-field ref who then makes the correct call!

[Adrock]

Jota definitely angled his run toward the Atletico player, stupidly. It didn't take much for him to go down but that just gave the referee a decision to make.

 

Liverpool need to do much better.

[ryodi]

Lucky to get away with that. From 2-0 up and cruising to 2-2 and hanging on, if Griezmann hadn't been sent off I'd have Athletico as favourites to win. Still three wins out of three and onto the next one. 

[Stigweard]

Exciting game though ay. It's nice to win games like that even if its messy.

[Keiths_Dad]

Yeah, bit lucky, but fuck it, we've pretty much qualified for the next round now.

[Azrael]

Fucking easy m8

[CheekyLee]

Let's do them mighty at Anfield, and then roll over for Porto! Bunch of twats, absolutely loved beating them.

[gospvg]

Great match, good to see Spanish teams playing to their style. Disgraceful by Simione running off.

[Keiths_Dad]

Fuck me, what's the point of Peter Walton? He's a slimy cunt, all he ever does is side with the referee, he offers no actual insight.

Salah has fired the first shot in the contract war then.

 

It makes me chuckle when players (not just him) say it's not in their hands - yes it is, take less money! Not that he should, of course, but this isn't a situation he has no control over.

[Chewylegs]

Yeah not in my hands is a bit of a daft thing to say but I really think the club should give him a 5 year contract as he is a machine that can go on as long as Ronaldo and that other dodgy Welsh guy Utd used to have.  He's top 5 in the world, he's worth the money.

[glb]

Agreed. Even if the club got three more quality years out of Salah, that could be the difference - 20+ goals plus assists a season - between fighting for 4th and challenging for trophies.

 

Salah’s reached that point where ia reputation gives him an edge at a level where 1-2% marginal gain is significant. Teams will shift plans to limit him, opening up space for others.
 

Then there’s the stories like him pulling Elliot aside to advise him to not eat as much bread at team meals. Small

things like that can help young players develop habits that will positively impact their own careers.

 

Plus the marketing side; the value of shirt sales is largely hyperbolic, but the commercial deals and social media impressions tied to Salah won’t be.
 

Pay him what he wants, he’s one of the best players in the club’s history.
 

And of course will now have an absolute stinker at Old Trafford tomorrow and every other fan will be all ‘LOL Salad is shite, m8’.

[CheekyLee]

 

Looks like Klopp wants this one done and dusted by half-time! Still showing them a little too much respect, in my opinion, but maybe I'm underestimating how much of an attacking threat Milner carries these days? 

[Chewylegs]

I was thinking we were given them a chance with that line up to be fair.  Shame Fabs is injured.  Konate I definitely prefer than Gomez at the ment though, Matip must be a slight concern.

 

These games are generally terrible but I'm going to the pub to watch it so hoping for a 0-2 victory.

[Azrael]

Good news is I took Jota out of my fantasy football team this week so he's guaranteed to get a hattrick. 

[Azrael]

Not feeling confident tbh. Matip and Fabinho are big losses. 

[Keiths_Dad]

Not singing about poverty any more now, are you, you cunts?

 

Lovely take from Keita.
