What a great goal, superb from Jones to be alert to the loose ball and to drag a marker out of the way, nice pass from Diaz and disciplined to resist the temptation to shoot, ditto Nunez and Salah is in the right place at the right time. Wonderful stuff.
Glad it’s come early too, none of that frustration from the first half carries through now.
EDIT: …or maybe it does. Jesus Christ…
CLEEEAAAANNNNN!!!
And again!
Every ref knows you can play advantage AND then come back for a delayed yellow card, right?
And then Joelinton does it again a couple minutes later
You’d think. That was unbelievable.
2nd half is going to kick off. Lackadaisical reffing for fouls and pernickety reffing for any reaction to that… players are going to start taking it out on each other.
Nunez needs to be scoring those…
Yep. Getting real “One of those nights” vibes here.
Lets hope Papa Klopp has some motivating words at halftime
Darwin is not that good. He hasn’t level to play for a club like Liverpool, who fights for Premier League and have aspirations to do great things on Champions League. If L’pool pay like 20M£ for him, he had probably already been dispensed.
The problem is Liverpool paid almost 100M, which is absurd. From my point of view, it was the best deal of this century by Benfica. They sold a guy who isn’t that good and won’t even reach Suárez’s heels. He has too many gaps in his game to be a starter at a club like Liverpool.
Otherwise, Szobo looks pretty good player.
What a bizarre game! Love it.
5points clear!!!Or 3, or whatever… :-)
We are definitely knocking on the door. Diaz looking sharp, great to see
Such a shame that goal didn’t count, but fair play to the linesman, he got it right. The VAR delay was ridiculous though. As was the delay before Salah got to take the pen.
Yeah definitely the right call. Would have been a great goal though.
Fascinating seeing those extreme single-player close-ups during the VAR checks. The VAR guy is seeing the lines there but they’re hidden from us until he’s fiddled around enough to get the result he wants.
Frustrating first half, need to cool off and just keep knocking on their door in the 2nd. Bad nunez, salah, and taa misses…
Let us hope we can settle a bit and focus on those final passes.
Are you fucking kidding me?
Dude just dribbled through half the team… Virgil also seemed far too casual
The 4-3 is still on!
Endo again was a boss today
Cody!! What a ball from Salah
Another great goal! Maybe Liverpool can try hanging on for more that a couple of minutes this time… 😄
