2022-23 UEFA Champions League

Yes, it was handball. Completely unnecessary, the shot was going wide, it just meant it went further wide. Reminds me a little of Man United getting a penalty against PSG for a shot that was going into row Z, striking someone on the arm, the PSG player had no clue about it. They wouldn't have gone through otherwise. It was what helped Old get the manager's job on a permanent basis.

What I'm getting at, is it's not really a fair punishment, as it's not a clear denial of a goal scoring opportunity.

Mr.Nice Guy

Ha, Joey Barton is there among the travelling Marseille fans.

Mr.Nice Guy

Van Dijk concedes a pen now.

Alisson saves Osimhen's effort.

Peno

Xander10

Liverpool have turned to muck. Poor penalty miss with chance to make it 2-0

sligeach

Another penalty for Napoli where the player had no chance of scoring. Alisson would have scooped that ball up no bother.

Justice done in my opinion as Alisson saved.

Using that logic, a foul just inside the penalty box that doesn't deny a goal scoring chance shouldn't be a peno!?

sligeach

Awful from Salah. That should have been an easy ball to control.

You need better logic. That's nothing like the 2 penalties tonight.

sligeach

Liverpool are their own worst enemy. Van Dijk saved their bacon there.

Mr.Nice Guy

Napoli should be cruising here. They may well rue these misses.

Did you just quote your own post?

Gomez gets away with 1 there...and caught out again. 2-0 now

Mr.Nice Guy

What a goal by Napoli. GET IN.

Been a big fan of Fabinho since the Monaco days but he's having a shocker.

sligeach

Salah's effort was tame, straight at the Napoli keeper, and now they're 2-0 down. Awful stuff.

Pogue eile

Klopp out, should be four down after half an hour.

castletownman

Some atmosphere.

Just goes to show that Parkhead and Anfield aren't the only 'intimidating' venues on European nights.

Joe Gomez making Maguire look like Baresi.

Brilliant goal from Napoli, we’ll deserved, they should be 4 nil up tbh

What has happened to Liverpool this season

Wouldn't surprise me if that happened. This site is in bits since the update. I quoted your post, and I've no idea how I can edit it in now. It would have been no problem on the old site.

Mr.Nice Guy

Blow for Napoli with Osimhen going off.

Mr.Nice Guy

3-0 Napoli. What an assist from Kvara. Not the first time a Simeone has caused problems for Liverpool.

sligeach

Gomez should be hauled off. It's not amazing play from Napoli, Liverpool are awful. Pathetic mistakes.

McGrath5

Liverpool are a shambles but make no mistake Napoli have been superb.

Schwiiing

Trent stood still as they walked around him.

Dave0301

Anguissa has been fantastic. Bullying the Liverpool midfield.

Kiith

The defending for Napoli's 3rd goal was some of the worst defending i've seen in a long time.

Schwiiing

Milner can't start the second half. Gomez either.

Mr.Nice Guy

Great play from Napoli. Liverpool well off it atm. They can't handle Kvara.

OM shading the first half against Spurs but not offering much in the last third. Need Payet on.

Who from the 11 deserves to stay on?

At least Gomez has always been sh*te, TAA is strutting around like his too good for this craic, pure liability when his team is asked to defend.

This post is almost as funny as the Liverpool defence, learn the rules and take off the Red glasses!

Hardly new. He's always thought defending was beneath him

Schwiiing

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119586735#Comment_119586735

None of them really but Milner and Gomez have been the standout worst. Milner is a look in the wrong direction away from a red and Gomez is getting roasted helped in no way by his midfield standing gawking at him under pressure.

I love when Napoli plays well in the champions league. The country comes to a standstill

Ireland, England or Italy?

castletownman

Milner looks like that time Neville was on his last legs and promptly retired mid season.

El Gato De Negocios

This is really top notch stuff.

jacool

Of the injured players Konate and Henderson would be improvements, but I have a feeling that this is the beginning of the end for this squad, as the miles clocked over the last 5 years were immense, and can't be sustained. Luckily, they won everything because I feel a quiet time coming again.

Mr.Nice Guy

Zielinski makes it 4-0. Remarkable.

Blow for OM as Mbemba given a straight red.

Ah I was only taking the p!ss out of the earlier post that said Ireland comes to a standstill over Celtic

Mr.Nice Guy

4-1. The comeback is on.

NITRO95

Klopp in. Probably deserves a new contract

Schwiiing

Having to listen to Gerry Armstrong pull the stomach out of himself over anything Liverpool would make you sick.

Mr.Crinklewood

Lazio have turned into headless chickens

Mr.Nice Guy

Richarlison heads Spurs in front. Lovely cross by Perisic.

Xander10

Nunez is not a very good footballer.

Kiith

Richarlison with a 2nd for Spurs!

Mr.Nice Guy

Even better header from Richarlison for 2-0. That's the game.

El Gato De Negocios

This Liverpool team look done. No coincidence that a number of players signed huge new contracts in the last 12 months or so, they look like they don't care. Klopps utterly bizarre insistence of playing Milner is stupefying, genuinely looks like he's trying to make a point about transfers. Gomez was being talked up as being one of the best defenders in the PL, useless. Nunez looks like an utter donkey but it's obviously early days. It's all eerily reminiscent of Klopps last year at BD, malaise throughout the team, lads completely burnt out and injured, results that would have been unthinkable at one point.

Lazio ?

I assume you mean Napoli but even then it makes no sense

Mr.Nice Guy

Diaz was terrific but the rest of the outfield players were disappointing. Gomez had a mare, Van Dijk shaky again, and TAA showed the defensive frailty I pointed out last season. Fabinho looked off his best as well. Napoli very good in the first hour.

Spurs were underwhelming but got the job done. Red card was a crucial moment in the game. Son looks desperately short of confidence.

Schwiiing

Trent doing his already slim World Cup starting place chances no favours with that kind of fannying about.
