What about players that are so shit they couldn't even get a game for us? 

I hope you’re not talking about sweet sweet Neal 

[Mel81x+]

And now we have one.

 

[Stan]

Gakpo equalises! Wolves go to sleep and Salah's shot falls to Gakpo almost on the goal line. 

[Stan]

Wolves done nothing since half time. 

Seem so flat after the half time break. Liverpool's changes were positive. 

Gomez lucky to get away with a foul off the ball on Neto there. 

[Danny]

In the first half Liverpool would only attack with one player on the wing. Saw it a lot on the right where if Salah was the wideman, Szoboszlai would operate in the half space and Gomes would invert as a centre mid with Mac Allister. If Salah drifted into the half space then Gomez would play out wide and Szoboszlai into the cm position. Problem was either way they done it it was Salah or Gomez coming up against the left back and left mid and they couldnt get past. Now Liverpool attacking with 3 men on either side of the pitch and it’s given them complete control of possession and now the game.

[Danny]

Why have they employed Jermaine Jenas just to moan about VAR all day? So boring

[Mel81x+]

What a play by Robertson.

[Stan]

Could that be the winner?! All the defenders go to sleep and ball watch. Salah's ball weighted perfectly for Robertson. 

[Danny]

Caught Wolves in transition there but it’s all about doubling and tripling up on the wing for Liverpool there

[Mel81x+]

Mo Salah gets his assist hat-trick. Harvey gets a goal too.

[Stan]

This has not been a 3-1 Liverpool win kind of game

 

[Rick]

Second half has been a massive improvement, just a little change that has worked wonders. Very impressed with the difference between both half performances. 

[Mel81x+]

Changing the midfield worked so many wonders for the game. The minute the ball stopped getting turned over consistently the pressure started getting applied better and that forced Wolves to drop back a lot more. Odd game but a win is a win.

First half was shite but they stayed in it and knew we'd win it in the second half. Having Diaz and Nunez off the bench just changes it

[Machado]

Man City's bench shy in quality in comparison with recent seasons. I think Liverpool have the best squad in the league and today's game is a testament to that.

Man City do have a few players out in fairness but so do Liverpool and offensive options from the bench are what changes games so I think Liverpool have the edge.

[Dr. Gonzo]

Kind of match that sums up why United fans were desperate for us to sell Salah.

[Stan]

Brighton ahead! Sounded like Man Utd were dominating up to then.

[Stan]

Man City equalise instantly through Doku straight after HT.

[Stan]

Palace lead! Edouard in very good form.

[Stan]

2-0 to Brighton! Gross doubles the lead.

[Stan]

3-0 to Brighton  

[Stan]

Sheff Utd take the lead at Spurs!!

 

Manager of the month curse?

[Pyfish+]

United score. 3-1.

[Redcanuck]

United's game has been strange, I don't think United have played that badly.  3 Brighton goals on the counter.  We have won games this year when we shouldn't  have,  now we are going to lose one we shouldn't
