We would of made any team look like Brighton last night, its just that time of the season 

I genuinely believe it's yours again this season. The fact that your team shows up when it matters the most and has the experience to get you'll through this tough part of the year is whats going to see you'll crowned champions again while the other two contenders will falter eventually. I don't think the historical statistics of your problems with Spurs is going to play into this at all.

I know you'll say it's not over till it's over but displays like last night are why you're going to be champions again.

Never knew you worked with Mel81x.

No more samosas for you haha

Have to say that Rando summed it up right for me too. I didn't think this team was going to win much but they showed enough guile to get through a very tough period with players out and then the players who generally had so much to offer in the dying minutes of a game shut down mentally and it just strikes me as weird. Is it fatigue? I'd say running full tilt for the number of seasons some of them have coupled with the intensity Klopp requires his teams to operate at is definitely a factor. But, and this is where I turn to the manager, it's not like he didn't have options on the bench who may have been frothing to make a mark in this game and I honestly believe that the bench could have provided solutions to some of the weird passing going on last night and drop in form. You'd watch players make such sloppy passes that you start to wonder what's going on in their heads.

When you start to lose at home you know something isn't right and then to put on a display like they did against local rivals who really should have had the team fired up to play their best at the tail end of a season where the trophy was mathematically in sight tells me we're going to falter a lot more before the season ends. With no disrespect to Everton, a better finishing team slaps this Liverpool team around a few times and then some with the way the defense went to sleep at times and all the lazy positional and passing play.

He works hard but he's got absolute dogshit end product. Like Arjen Robben, always just cutting inside looking to shoot - only problem is he's fucking shit at shooting.

Arjen Robben went on to achieve things that I don't think we'll see Diaz do because like you said his end-product is non existent. 

We were clueless tonight. From the start you could see they had no plan to break the low block and whatever little chances they had they just scuffed or misfired as has been the way things have gone lately. I'm not sick of this team but I honestly can't understand what has gotten into them to lose the confidence to win when they are a goal down. Virg can go in the summer for all I care because I think he's not what he used to be and while I think he can be good hes got no drive. This isn't the first time he's done this and it certainly won't be the last.

I also agree with the statement about kids getting a chance. Our starting XI has been lackluster and the kids would have put on more of a fight than the team that went out tonight.

Genuine question - do you think Klopp's announcement of leaving Liverpool mid-season was the right thing to do? 

Very untimely but you have to then ask the question, if the announcement was going to cause so much chaos how in the world did this team perform to get in this position? 

We're not coming back from this. No F'ing way.

Very poor at finishing and we've had a few chances but its not good enough. 

offside. phew

I think we're going to go out all guns blazing today. What I want to see is how that front three operates because its crunch time and if they can get some momentum then we will be in good shape going towards the end.

If we end up with Slot... and United and Everton keep their managers... there won't be a single strand of hair on the head of any manager for any of the 4 clubs from Liverpool & Manchester.

They are trying to be one with the ball on the pitch

Goalkeeper rather shit there

@Spike, @Mel81x & myself say otherwise

I just spent a whole day in a record store when I was out on holiday so this checks out.

This is a misconception, in my honest opinion. You're at the mercy of your own nerves and realism rather than that of a lottery. Bernardo Silva was a victim of arrogant overestimation of themself yesterday, not that of bad luck. This lottery talk is an invention of these nations bad at penalties to play down their own shortcomings.

You're not wrong but you could have a serial penalty taker completely get it wrong on the night no matter how many penalties you've taken over the course of practice. The ball, the pitch, the keeper, your nerves, their nerves, the crowd, it all really has to come together to make it happen, hence the use of the word lottery. I think we've all seen situations where the sidelines are calling for the keeper or pre-instructing them about where the penalty taker likes to take their shot so in that case it's really a gamble on the keeper's part on which side to go and also on the penalty taker for their choice of side and then all the other components mentioned before.

It's Stans fault, we should lynch him 

Is Pep okay today? Has he ruined any pants or started listening to Oasis on loop while he prepares to tear everyone in the league a new one?

Very much on the anti pineapple bandwagon though. Just thoroughly unpleasant.

@Tommy you have more to add to the clan. 

Well shit they lost. This means they will now go on the longest winning streak and take the league. And we all have Real Madrid to thank for this.

Send them my way, and I'll call them pinche gringos.

They'll integrate you in the fold if you talk to them that way.

Think the Arsenal game was always going to end the way it did. I had some hope that City would beat Real and progress but when you get to penalties you really are at the mercy of the lottery.

Metal holder yeah but also just the weird ass flavours and fusions and probably most importantly prices. 

Is it very costly out there? It's not so bad over here but we do have a local alternative that looks very similar but doesn't come in an open style, closer to a burrito.

Not in my experience, at least with burritos I've had in Mexico. Granted I've only had them in one city and from 2 different places. The burritos I've had in Mexico were in Tijuana and they were very different to the burritos people would typically picture. They're much thinner and the only filling was meat. Thought it was a bit strange and between tacos in Mexico or the types of burritos I've had in Mexico, tacos win hands down.

In Southern California and Texas, I think rice and beans are just filler to make burritos look fatter, cos gringos love big fat burritos. It's why the California burrito took off, adding chips to the burrito was a low cost way of stuffing a carne asada burrito to look much fatter without actually adding more meat. You go too far north in California and the burritos start looking like absolute monsters but that's because it's 80% rice and beans and barely any of what it's actually supposed to be - these burritos are absolute bullshit. In San Diego if you see a burrito with rice & beans, it's a bullshit burrito and you shouldn't get it.

But Mexico's a big country and culinary styles change from region to region in any country, and Mexico is no exception, so I'm sure some Mexicans do put rice and beans in burritos. But most people worldwide when they're thinking of burritos, they're thinking of Tex-Mex style burritos. And a lot of those do have rice and beans in them. But too much of that and I think it's absolute bullshit just to inflate a burrito and use up less of the more expensive ingredients.

Think the tex-mex style of tacos and burritos is really what most people associate with their Mexican counterparts. In college we had folks who wouldn't put rice in a burrito so it was weird when I got one that did but you're right they do put it in there they just don't overload it with rice because that would totally neutralize the flavor of the meat. Their tacos also change from regions and so does their choice in chilli that goes into their tacos as well. got a long lecture from someone about how they use different types for meats because of the way its supposed to affect the flavor and I think for the most part ordering one in most popular places comes with the understanding that its a heat element not a flavor element, the latter being the way you'd get it from most latin people eating or making the dish.

Genuine question here. Have all the taco lovers ever done the "make your own taco" thing? I'd rather someone made it for me vs me make it myself.

Buritto's all the way. Although Vancouver has tried its best to make Taco's gay and trendy I do still enjoy em.

Do they serve them in a metal holder there is that why?

She looks like someone deprived of both tacos and burritos.

How did this even turn into a fight?
