Liverpool FC Team Talk, Gossip, Rumours 2024/25

Would have taken a point before the game given all the players missing but they should have won in the end. That was a really excellent 2nd half performance in particular. Absolutely battered City apart from that one City chance from Doku.

Our two title matches at Anfield this season, both ended 1-1.

I know yeah. One of my oldest friends is a city fan and was when they were in division 2 or whatever. I've had so many rows with him on this subject and it beggars belief tbh.

If it's just blinkered analysis go ahead and show me the perfectly legitimate goal that city scored this season that the refs just decided on a whim not to award them for no reason that likely cost them a point if not all 3....go ahead, I'll wait....

Show me all the red cards city players have gotten this season for tackles that are not even given as fouls in games against them....go ahead...

Show me the man city forward who gets fouled constantly for years and years now but gets nothing from refs time and time again, and yet gets labeled a diver somehow, like has happened Mo Salah basically since he got here.....

I'll go get the popcorn ready while you show me all this footage, it's bound to be a long one....

Mo was not at the races at all today when he came on unfortunately.

Var will cost us the title this season, corruption,these decisions never go against city... Always for city... City players would have ran from everywhere to contest that var decision,and pep, arsenal would do the same... It's disgusting that's what you need to do to get the decision.

You'll be waiting because it's not corruption or brown envelopes.

They are just useless. From the top, there is a distinct lack of direction and accountablity.

That feeds down, refs defending each other and not wishing to put their chums into any bother.

I don't consider that as corruption or brown envelopes.

Just absolutely useless.

I could easily see this being the year we lose it on goal difference.

After today though, for the first time this year I actually think we can win it.

The players are phenomenal. Diaz to keep going as he did after missing those chances. He's not a natural scorer, we all know that but to keep going and not let the head go down is a fantastic trait in a sportsperson.

We have that in abundance.

Kelleher again. What a bloody keeper. The guy is top notch.

Arsenal and City can't both get 3 points in the next round of fixtures.

We just need to beat Brighton at home and see where we land.

We'll be top again unless Arsenal beat City away (tho part of me wants Arsenal to win that and, without any disrespect to Arsenal fans, you'd expect them to drop more points in the next 10 than City)

He was quietly immense.

It’s just not an idea that I can entertain without concrete evidence - it’s a huge accusation like.

The more obvious issue is PL refs going over to ref in the UAE, where Cities owner heads the main sponsor I think. It create a situation where a ref could hesitate on calls if they feel they get a call wrong that will affect their selection to ref in the UAE, which I’d imagine is a handy payday.

It’s where a football regulator would be really valuable. Right now it’s only up to PGMOL whether they can referee there or not, and Webb has already said they will continue to do so - sure why would they say no to that if nobodies stopping them? A regulated entity though would take the decision out of their hands at least.

What was in our control today - not the referee - but hard to fault anything else.

First half was k ly ok, bit great, but the second one was. With the XI we had out, we did brilliant. Lads here wanted to pull Elliot at the break, he had been good in the first half, was really brilliant in the second. The middle 3 with him helping out absolutely dominated for over a hour, all apart from the first 15 minutes or so. The 2 kids on the RHS at the back more than held their own, and while I'd have been inclined to sub off Lucho after half time, he really carried the fight over the last 35/40 minutes, he was immense, even allowing for his missed chance.

It's 2 points dropped I guess, but there is still 10 games to go and of we don't win the EPL, it won't be because of today. This performance will boost us, but it may also encourage other opponents to be less passive against City and who knows then what will happen.

I said weeks ago, if we came out of today ahead of City in the table we have a great change, and that's where we are now. COME ON REDMEN - LET'S FVCKIN DO THIS!

3 of next 4 at home, Brighton, Sheffield, Palace . While Arsenal have 4 of the next 6 away

I've always said it, we won this league in first half of season with our killer away games, but we came through them top of the league.

Right now we just need to concentrate on ourselves and win the easy games and watch the rest fall over

I'm sure the majority of people thought the refs in Italy were just useless too years ago.

Just back from the pub so no idea what the general view is but I thought Liverpool were magnificent.

So unfortunate not to win and I think this result is going to be looked back on at the end of the season with some regret

Of course no one is bribing refs! But we do know that one team has cheated to get to where they are

I wouldn't bother

Yikes. And what would you call that then? Giving handy pay days to refs that you know will be reffing your games. Do you think that's all inoccent or that they know exactly what they are doing by giving these gigs to refs?

You mean Liverpool hacking into the Man City Servers. Caught red handed.

City not proven to have done anything just charged let's wait and see what happens.

Ikozma in positive mood? What's gone wrong with the world🤣🤣

Well, you do know that their former manager Mancini spent a few days coaching in the UAE for the'love of the game, 'it was in no way a way to pay him under the table and cook the books.

The Emirati have no history of under the counter payments or bribes.

If it can't be a draw, I'm leaning towards wanting an Arsenal win versus City.

City need to be behind heading into the final few games. They'll walk their last few, whereas Arsenal's run-in is the trickiest.

Totally agree

Love this. "Hacking"? Total espionage! Like a Mission:Impossible flick!

When, in fact, it was 2 ex-City employees who used their still valid log-in credentials to access the City database. More fool to City's admin staff who were negligent enough not to cancel their accounts once they were no longer employees.
