I'm just curious if there are lot of others still wating for delivery

oh props to Origi who not only scored but actually played well when he came on ,

A somewhat alternative viewpoint to the Monday Meltdown.

I think Liverpool have come a bit stuck lately playing teams who are in good form at the time of the game. We caught Brentford right in the middle of their best form of the season, but they have lost every game since. West Ham are flying now and we caught them in top form also. But, thanks football! And you would think that while this is slightly unlucky at the timing at playing some clubs in form, these things should balance out soon- eg playing Leeds / Palace when we did compared to when we played West Ham / Brentford etc.

Chelsea & Man City seemed to have played Arsenal at their worst, why we will be playing Arsenal coming off the back of some very impressive form.

Man City & Liverpool both embarrassed Man Utd at home while they have Ole as manager and are in bad form. Will an Utd catch Chelsa them if they somehow have a turnaround in form? Hopefully. Maybe United nick a win there somehow.

I do have some optimism still, given that we have played somewhat tougher fixtures over the last month or so, and are still within touching distance of top spot.

The last few weeks, Liverpool have been playing teams who are in the top half of the table at least, and 4 teams who started the day in the top 6. Compare that to Chelsea who have played the teams who started the day in 17,18,19,20 position in the last 5 games.

Hopefully the swing in fixtures from GW13-17 (Southampton, Everton, Wolves, Villa, Newcastle) can yield a somewhat more positive return in points. The CL games will offer a chance to rotate in some positions and keep players fresh too.I think that is the period where we have to start winning a lot of games and get back to level with top spot, especially before the AFCON.

Trent is doing as instructed, he must be, or he'd be dropped. So there is an onus on the tactics covering for what he's being asked to do. Admittedly there are some examples of bad defending. But generally speaking it looks more like tactics rather than Trent doing his own thing.

Yesterday some of his positioning was curious, he was very central, not hugging the touchline at all. Hard to understand why he was asked to do that. Looked like we needed width, and only had that option down our left side.

Kuyt seems to be in really big legal trouble in Holland he is being questioned about gambling large amounts of money on an illegal gambling site and is also being questioned with Wesley Sneijder about his relationship with the website and the major drug cartel behind it. Sneijder's family have been threatened by those behind the site.

Chelsea V Liverpool game will see the return of fans officially allowed to stand in the Premier league with the safe standing trial starting then.

Hey all, it looks as if the old soccer tickets forum has disappeared.

A friend of mine is looking to get himself 4 tickets - this includes 2 for his two young lads (7 to 9 years old)

Where is the best place he could go to try get hold of tickets? My own experience in the past was a nightmare when using the members portal so honestly not sure what to tell him. He doesnt mind what game but wold love to bring them over.

He was looking footballticketnet.com but Im not sure if thats a legit site or not (legit as in how legit you can be when its not through the official club) Anyone use that site before without issues?

Any recommendations would be great - he also realises hel have to pay a bit more as its not going direct through the club.

We lost the game not because we were weak, or worse than WH, We lost it because they has 3 lousy shots on target, and Alisson pretty much fcked up on all of them. Then we scored two great goals, and Mane missed two great chances.

Alisson had a bad day at the office, but the team had 70% possession, 16 shots, 5 on target, and Mane missing sitter to add to that.

There was not a lot wrong, WH should have had a man sent off, and that first goal was a foul on Alisson, a weak foul, but a foul, there was contact, an elbow to his arm that stopped him punching or redirecting the ball.

Have to agree

Yeah I’ve taken a few spills in there over the years.

Praising WH seems to be the vibe, as they are so so good, that's why we lost. WH have conceded 10 at home, Norwich conceded the same at home. WH had only 2 wins at home until yesterday also. It was just their day, every shot the had on target resulted in a goal, we use to be like that with Mignolet in goal, every shot = a goal.

Alisson and Mane had a bad day. We dominated 70%,

I'd like to see Matip and Konate paired together for a few games give them the last two Champions League games together.

We are short at right back, N Williams is the same as TAA better in the opposition half but not as good.

Part of me would not mind seeing them trying Ox out there.

3 corners, none defended properly, 2 goals and a rattled crossbar.

Midfield is problematic alright, but that wasn't the problem yesterday. A team that concentrates on setpieces and we weren't prepared for them, simple as that.

It's down to organising, standing up for yourself (ie not getting bullied), and a goalkeeper dealing with crosses under his crossbar.

As someone said, we can't leaving ourselves in a position where we need 3 goals to win a game. We scored twice yesterday, and Sadio missed 2 sitters, so while midfield isn't perfect, yesterday's problems lay elsewhere.

Tbf to Alisson, those challenges are almost always given as a foul! If a player jumped into an opposition player in the middle of the park with a flailing arm while making no contact with the ball, a free would be given and no one would question it! But when it’s a ‘keeper suddenly it’s “soft”

Kenny & Marina are such legends, Kenny is incredible, was a genius on the pitch who won everything there is to win and was one of the best players in the World, then his outstanding managerial accomplishments followed by his Hillsborough support work and years of charity work. Legend doesn’t do him justice.

We literally see incidents like this called as free outs week in week out in the premier league. Regardless of whether or not you think it is a foul it is given as one 99% of the time and therefore should either be given as a foul against us or not given in any of the other games. We seem to be the outliers for these kind of decisions far too often. Holgate was sent off against Spurs an hour before cresswell hit hendo's knee with a tackle for a very similar incident and yet we get nothing.

I can only hope we get stronger as the season progresses cos currently I can't see us being anywhere near a title race come April/May

It's a foul for me, obstruct the keeper first by jumping back into him and make it look like your trying to play the ball and it worked. Antonio said it after the game, their aim was crowd the keeper and it worked not many teams get away with it.

No, usually though it's blown as a free that's what I meant by not many teams get away with it, but I still think the first is a jump into Alison to obstruct him, this is after the crowding

why look at still when we have the video

He clearly jumps back in the first 5 seconds and if you cant see it you may straighten up your monitor 😁
