Mina missed a sitter with that header though

Osmosis Jones

Shortarms to the rescue

Christ pick Ford and his chicken arms

Ardent

Pickford, pathetic

Vicxas

Jesus Everton are dire to watch

Peatys

Good for nothing

BorneTobyWilde

Pickford average at best. Maybe it's good they conceded , Can see Everton grab a draw easier now as they'll go put City defence under pressure instead of backing off like they did do this second half.

Osmosis Jones

The good news is City are frail, without Laporte this is not a 100 point team.

Peatys

C'mon Everton.. for once in your miserable existence, do something that isn't shít.

Vicxas

Think Ederson has done a mischief to his hand.

ricero

Everton are a pack of wasters

shamrock55

And that's that

Vicxas

It's the hope that kills you.

The hope Everton wouldn't be cat

Osmosis Jones

Good thing we've maintained our perfect record so. City have dropped as many points as goals we've conceded.

BorneTobyWilde

City will continue to struggle away from home, Everton could have had 4 if they could finish.

Agent Coulson

Onto Leicester now and Rodgers out to put a stop to the Klopp juggernaut.

Mate is a Everton fan too. He reckons smoking would take less off his life!

Osmosis Jones

I don't see what's so stressful about knowing you're going to finish between an insignificant 7th place and an insignificant 15th place every season for the rest of eternity.

Liverpool have submitted a complaint to the FA after Hillsborough chants from Man Utd fans during the womens game

Concerns over chants relating to the Hillsborough disaster during Saturday's Women's Super League match away to Manchester United have been reported to the Football Association by Liverpool.

It is understood some United fans sang "always the victim, never your fault" and other anti-Liverpool songs as the hosts won 2-0. The chants have previously been heard in games between the clubs' male sides.The match at Leigh Sports Village was watched by a crowd of over 2,800.

It is understood the concerns were red-flagged in the standard match report submitted to the FA by the Liverpool general manager.

I've been wondering lately do any of the rest of ye think the same as me? You know when Matip makes these by-now-trademark forays up the field, and he makes it all the way to the edge of the box? Why is it that none of our players seem to be on his wavelength? You'd think one of them would anticipate and maybe give him an out? Perhaps, call for the ball? Instead it's like everyone stops to marvel at this graceful gazelle galloping through the forest. Everyone stopping and thinking, "oooh look at that!" Then Matip gives the ball away coz no-one is alert enough. That's my only gripe on the last 7 games by the way. Win ugly or win beautiful, it's all good.

Well, in the words of B-Rod, you can't live a second without hope.

Honestly, though, it'd be soul destroying.

Even when we've been garbage for years at a time, there's always some distant bright spark of hope with this club that we'll do something worthy of memory.

Of course, if you're going down to the match all the time, it's just a thing you do in your life. Results are largely incidental. People go to non-league teams, or LOI teams, or whatever lower standard that can't acheive the same things the juggernauts can, for the craic, to support their community, or what have you, but in terms of actually supporting them for any reciprocal thrill or anything, it's not really there and it must take a toll.

In fact it's probably worse for mid-table PL clubs. You get all the corporate, mass-produced sky sports ****e, and none of the quality or success.
That's where clubs like Athletic Bilbao really stand out to me, or any club that has mostly homegrown players. It's another dimension to the support and gives it a quality that exists independently of where they are in the table.

Spot on! He does it every so often but the lads seems to just freeze in admiration. Matip's been immense - so far it's between him, Fab and Firmino for player of the season.

Osmosis Jones

Still thinking about Harvey Elliot's performance midweek, so good for someone that young, like he's not just youth player young, he's over 6 years younger than Harry Wilson who's considered a young talent of ours himself!

Harry Palmr

I want to see Matip just keep going and give it a blast or a dink. Yes, others seem to stop and do a double take despite Matip doing this sort of thing every three or four games. MOTD highlighted his forward passing which VVD and Fabby also do which makes the lack of a creative 'eight and a half' type midfielder a bit disappointing. A few years ago Lallana would have been that player but it looks like he is a busted flush, OxCham and Keita need to be that player when back up to speed.

Yeah we need that guy who can receive a pass from his defenders while facing his own goal and spin 180 into attack in one motion, Firmino can do it and even did it a bit today when Origi came on but he's needed in the front 3. It's exactly what Keita did at Leipzig and he's done it for us in his short cameos, so hopefully he can finally find his feet here.

So 3PPG after 7 games, not bad eh

He's gonna be some player, I think he'll get pl game time very soon, I actually wanted him to come on today the game was crying out for him

Osmosis Jones

Also on the point of Matip's marauding, I'd been trying to find this clip I knew I didn't imagine and the Schalke YouTube channel finally included it in a video of theirs recently:

Harry Palmr

Ah, he bottled that run, should have shuffled to his right and rolled it in!

Turtyturd

Clearly too shook to do that.

Osmosis Jones

There's just something so fun about a marauding centre half, it's what makes Danny Agger one of my favourite Liverpool players ever.

Still waiting to see something like this from van Dijk in red too

Yeah i reckon he'll get some league time this season. It's unreal to think he's only 16. He wasn't alive when we won the treble :eek:

Sheff Utd are meant to be the ones with the overlapping centre backs. That VVD goal is unreal!!

Anyone have that one where Agger strolled out of defense and pinged one in from miles out?

Against West Ham that one i think.

Harry Palmr

To be fair Agger only strode about 4 paces

It was actually this one I was thinking of. Forgot about the West Ham one.

Osmosis Jones

Keeper doesn't even move for the West Ham one. Love his goal from the set piece routine against Chelsea too.

Harry Palmr

They are practically identical

Loved that one more for what it meant. He got stick for being bullied by Drogba in the first leg and was absolutely brilliant in that match.

That is a fully fit Keita.
