Good from Nunez to pass over to Salah. 

We’ve been toothless again, it’s not good enough from this attack. The ref has been a right plonker as well. Joelinton has had about 5/6 fouls without a card. 

That was terrible from Nunez. He needs to sort himself out, cause there’s no excuse not to score. 

Shite pen & Trent needs to score the follow up. 

Neville doesn’t half talk some shite. Saying Diaz delayed going down for the one, he went down right away. Big nosed muppet. 

If Chelsea do this they are dumber than I thought.

I think Arsenal are a good side but was always amazed that some of the top pundits had them as City's closest challengers. 

They have bottled the run in for three years running. Two failed attempts at a champions league qualification, followed by last year. They have a soft underbelly.  

Come on Fulham, hold on.

Sticking my neck out here. I think Luton get a point.

They're proving no pushovers at home and think they can grind out a result against Chelsea.

I was thinking of backing this, or possibly a win. They have more grit than this Chelsea team. 

What a fucking goal 

At no point have I said that Nunez wasn’t a good player. Obviously he is a good player and can cause the defence a headache. That doesn’t change the fact that he was a big investment for this club (not his fault, but we need more from him) and he needs to score way more than he has. Some of the chances he has missed are criminal.

Question for the Liverpool fans. Looking at the Firminho and Mane replacements. Nunez and Diaz, how would you rate them so far?

Nunez has potential that is exciting, but the more I watch him the less I think he’s going to live up to that potential. He’s been here 18 months and he is still playing like he’s brand new to the team & league. 
 

Diaz has been very good for us overall. He has had his issues this season but there have been good reasons for that so he deserves a lot of slack. But with Salah going off next month, we need him to get back to his best. 
 

I think there are a lot of people who overrated our attack before the season started. Salah & Jota are the only consistent scorers. Gakpo is a weird one, because he’s sort of expected to do the Firmino role in that front three, which is does with varying degrees of success. Diaz isn’t super prolific and has been off the boil & Nunez can’t be relied upon to score. We could do with another natural goalscorer in the summer if players don’t step up in the second half of the season.

Game should have been over by half time. The disallowed goal in the first half was never a foul but they're never going to over turn it on VAR, missed a couple more chances too. Then the offside one in the second half Salah is pushed into an offside position by their defender. All in all though a good performance and win. 

I don't get when people say 'we can't keep doing this'. Think people forget the year we won it and won 26 out of 27 or whatever it was, there was loads of close games (loads of 2-1s). It doesn't matter as long as you win.

You think it’s weird to say that we can’t keep giving absolute shite sides the belief that they can get a result from us? Luton did it, and Burnley gave us a headache right up until the 90th minute today. It’s not outrageous to expect us to be putting more goals in the net this season. Nunez, Diaz & Gakpo have been well below par so far. I’m glad we have Jota back because that man is consistent, and he will put away the chances that the others haven’t. 

Villa have been fucking wank second half

Villa have been poor since they scored the second. Utd have levelled it up. 

We have needed Jota the last the games, so it’s nice him coming in and having an instant impact. Another game where we made hard work of it, can’t keep doing this. 

Posted in the wrong topic. Nice to see the rotting cunts lose another. 

Newcastle losing another. Wait and see them play like prime Barcelona next Monday. 

We should have won with the Trent chance, but then again we should have had a penalty for that fucking handball. Absolutely fed up to the back teeth of these refs, useless bastards the lot of them. 
 

A point is alright, I was a bit concerned that Arsenal were gonna hit us with a quick second but they soon reverted back to their usual ‘shit the bed’ attitude and we were the better team. If we lose the title to those jokers, we’ll have missed a trick.

After losing to Arsenal and drawing to you in injury time, as well as losing 2-1 to Man City, I think any bet against Luton at Kenilworth Road is a little risky.

It was a bit risky, I just thought they would start sorting themselves out a. It. Daft in hindsight. 

Newcastle doing a nice job of fucking up my bet. 

Terrible appointment.

Personally from what I've seen recently, I think being bluntly honest, your results have papered over your performances.

I wasn't that impressed with that Luton and Sheffield United games the other week for example, and the Palace one wasn't a great watch either.

Certainly feels like you've got another gear to go up for sure if you're to go on and win it.

Fully agree with this. We are going through a patch of unconvincing performances. But, as you said we have a year to go up, and we need to see it next weekend.

I'd agree with that, not heard one person acknowledge in the build up that it wouldn't be anything but a thrashing.

Think it's also important to gain some perspective. Couple games recently (Fulham, Palace) where you've got three points from late goals and those results could easily have gone against you.

These things happen. Imagine if Hojland scores that chance, could have been worse.

I predicted this sort of game myself, but I still expected us to win. There were enough moments to win that game, we just made idiotic decisions in the final 3rd. Utd didn’t dig in and pull of some defensive masterclass, we were just shit. 

@LFCMike @Dr. Gonzo

Sorry lads, but we’ve all laughed at how awful Utd have been this season. They come to Anfield and play shit, yet walk away with a point. It was dreadful by Liverpool to not win that game.
