Looking purely at the football played on the pitch, Liverpool probably deserved to win more than we. That said, we’re just getting injured left and right. Unless your oil daddy can buy you 2 starting first 11s, that means you’re screwed. I mean look at Liverpool last season - they kind of performed astonishingly well given how many of their key players were out.
I’m praying we can manage Saka back to 100% and when Odegaard comes back we should see a lot more continuity on the right side. That being said, I’m still waiting to see similar chemistry between Martinelli and Merino, but it does take time.
I’ll also point out that we are 5 points off 1st and that’s with the injuries. If we’re getting our bad luck out of the way early, we might be okay.
I agree with your comment, apart from the first sentence. My take is that it was pretty even and if anything we had better quality periods of control. Neither of our goals were flukes or too against the run of play. I’d say that a team that’s goes ahead twice is mostly more deserving of taking all the points. We were pushing to add a third but got caught on the break with a below par defence. In addition, the stats were pretty even.
I think I would agree. I’ll take the draw, but I think it was ours to win. There were so many holes in their midfield we were able to get through.
Gabriel and Timber going down didn’t help. Sure everybody can point to a team having players out injured, but look at the difference only having Saka (and Timber) back made.
It would have been interesting to see the match up with all our players fit.
I figured that was the case. I don’t see why VAR shouldn’t be able to review that though, really. Every other moment in play can be scrutinised, except yellow cards, which I think should be allowed as well, considering it can make an impact, as we’ve seen twice this season.

I just watched that disallowed goal again. What a joke.
I haven’t watched it back since, but from the replays they showed during the coverage, I have no idea where the foul takes place.
This is where VAR should have stepped in for the whole clear and obvious. Maybe they did and treated it the same as the penalty shout.
The standards always seem higher when it’s for us, but lower against us, lol…
I don’t think there’s a conspiracy, but damn does it not feel like it.
VAR can’t step in because the fucker blew before it went in.

Play ends after the whistle; anything after it never happened in terms of the game, because the other team will be playing as if the game stopped.
That’s true
