Salah coming off really puzzled me, we don’t have another game for a fortnight and we needed another goal. 

He's just come back from injury, obviously being careful with him after playing 90 in the week.

Gakpo was fucking shit for that 5 on 2. Other than scoring a couple of goals on Thursday, he’s in absolute dogshit form. 

And Elliott. Gakpo made the pass okay and the goal was still on. Not sure what Elliott was trying.

Why is he playing 90 in the week then? That made zero sense either.

I was surprised to see him play in midweek but I guess Klopp wanted to give him minutes before today's game.

Don't think Gakpo is the level of the other four but he's still decent. 

I think it depends on how decent is defined. He’s inevitably going to be compared to the rest of our attackers, but he’s some way off Diaz - who I think is probably 4th best, who’s a good but also pretty flawed player in our front 3.

Is Gakpo a good player? Yeah probably. But I don’t really understand what his strengths are though.

I feel for him though because he’s getting a lot of shit online right now and while I think he’s a frustrating player… I don’t think it’s fair to scapegoat him for what was an all around poor performance other than about 40 minutes of that.

And honestly it’s probably a good sign that we can put a performance in that I thought was pretty pretty poor - and we scored 3 goals. But it’s just so shit to lose to those cunts.

Judging from this game, I don't think the complaint about Gakpo is that he is a stupid player, or technically shit. It's more that his whole playstyle just seems totally wrong for what he's being asked to do.

That's why he looks worse than random youth players. All else being equal, of course he is a better player than them, but he doesn't have the same intensity.

He looks like he would fit better in Spain or Italy.

Klopp explained that. He was going to bring Salah off but Clark got a knock

Okay, fairs. Do you think Salah should have went off today? Surely, we have a better chance of putting the game to bed with him on the pitch.

I don't know. They have all the info on the players fitness etc. wouldn't have been an issue if we'd have seen it out or put the game to bed in normal time like we should have done. Wouldn't have wanted him playing 120 minutes either though would you?

The closest cup you're getting to is the one you drink your tea from. 
 

That being said, we fucked that ourselves. Should have put them away in normal time. What a fuck up. 

Hahaha always straight to Everton, only pop on here to see if yous are still obsessed with us.

Not including the specific details due to the hilarious nature of some of it but the game went not far off how I expected. We're both flawed in a few ways. Chelsea should've won it far more comfortably but gave us a chance in comical circumstances. I thought we did well to equalise from that part but there are some red flags on the performance for sure ahead of potential promotion. Defensively we have gone to bits in 2024 and yet despite Sterling putting in one of the most astoundingly bad individual displays you'll witness we still shipped 4 goals.

Fuck whichever one of our fan/fans threw a flare into the United disabled section of their stadium. Absolutely cunty thing to do and it's something that merits a lifetime ban from football as well as criminal charges. Two arrests for that, hope they get the book thrown at them.

And fuck however many thousand United fans joined in with all of those Hillsborough chants that were all audible on TV. Only one arrest made for it too lol. I will never understand Liverpool or United fans that engage in tragedy chanting considering the history of both clubs. Gotta be a real cunt to mock the dead just to wind up opposition fans.

I understand hating rivals, I think that's normal... but FFS act like a fucking human being, it's only a football rivalry.

Sterling was so bad yesterday it was honestly funny. Genuinely added to the game as a spectacle. By the time of the free kick I almost felt bad for him.

I cannot believe that he lasted as long as he did and also that he pulled rank for the free kick. It was prime position for Palmer.
