Liverpool 2-0 Watford - Saturday 14th December, 2019

[DeadLinesman]

VAR for offside possibly.......

[DeadLinesman]

Mane’s hip is offside . 

[Dr. Gonzo]

Oh good they’re fucking with the lines after he initially was on...

[The Artful Dodger]

The BBC based in Salford actually cheered when that goal was ruled out. Its embarrassing how pro manc the whole organisation is.

Great days.

[Burning Gold]

Mane's clearly offside there. Right decision and good use of VAR

Wijnaldum forced off now. Not good news with Fabinho already out

[Dr. Gonzo]

Hope Gini’s injury isn’t serious

[Dr. Gonzo]

Talking about going down easy

Liverpool definitely off their game, Watford couldn’t finish off Adriana Chechik. You’re winning the league boys.

[DeadLinesman]

Fuck me, how has that not gone in. 

[Burning Gold]

Quite end-to-end this, but not in a good way. Not many actual chances, just feels like neither side has much of a midfield

[DeadLinesman]

How have none of these errors led to a goal at either end? Suicidal by VVD.

Exactly why you're taught as a kid to pass wide of the goal if you have to go back to the keeper

[DeadLinesman]

All the luck in the world. Fuck off.

[Dr. Gonzo]

Lovely from Mo saving Origi’s blushes there 

[Rick]

Haha that’s cheeky as fuck from Salah. 
 

VAR is a joke taking that long to confirm it though. 

[CaaC (John)+]

Fuck VAR, I had Liverpool winning 3-0 in Stans EPL games, thanks to VAR cost me points. 

[LFCMike]

That'll do. Wasn't comfortable at all but three points is all that matters

[Mel81x+]

Salah is on form now and its the right time to be in form too. What is worrying is how our midfield is getting injured and I really hope Gini's injury isn't serious. Mane was at full tilt too and should have gotten a goal imo but it wasn't meant to be. One more down and onto the next one.

[Burning Gold]

Echo what @LFCMike said. Not the best performance, but we got what matters. Very important for us to win today as the chasing pack have a few games now before we play again.

A lot's been made of our packed fixture list in December, and it is ridiculous, but it's important to note that we now don't have a league game for 12 days. 3 games between now and then, but all games we can rotate for, so hopefully a rest for anyone who needs it and time for the injured players to recover.

As something of an aside, I keep hearing that we have up to 10 games this month. That's wrong. It's not "up to 10," it's 10. There's a third place playoff in the CWC, so we'll have a game after the semis whatever happens. Not a massive issue in itself, just a little point about the quality and standard of football reporting (and journalism in general?) in this country.

[DeadLinesman]

Performance of champions elect. Grind out the results when you’re not playing well. Liverpool of old would have dropped points in this kind of fixture when it’s not going so well. Not this exact fixture obvs as the aggregate of the last 3 games at Anfield is 18-1 

[Inverted]

It is funny to think back on the days when Liverpool would start a game flying, take an apparently comfortable lead, and then fall to pieces the moment one little thing went wrong. 

Now, they have a reputation for pulling wins out their arses. Dont think anyone could have imagined that a few years ago.
