Forget stats, moments like that are what people will remember many years after he retires. Amazing goal and with plenty at stake. But I think I prefer Sturridges goal last year. The way it just sailed in was so sexy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liverpool have had quite a few and that Salah goal was another moment today. They are destined to win this title for me, I just think there is a slip up for City somewhere, I really do. I get the feeling we will slip up somewhere too with the CL being a distraction ..it's also very difficult to win back to back titles in England too, any other season we would of done it but Liverpool are like a pack of virgins smelling that first piece of skirt that's waiting around the corner, wild dogs will struggle to drag them off! ..we might have to be content with a cup treble this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True Blue 971 Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 In the first half we did okay tried on the counter with no serious chances on both sides. In the second as it happened every away game since December we crumble in minutes. Conceded twice in three minutes and the game was gone. Hazard blew two excellent chances to get us back into the game. I don't see us getting top four through the league now, we are the only team with four games left and one of them is Old Trafford, with our away record we will lose that too. We are only left with the Europa League chance but it will be very difficult to win it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think we were that terrible against Liverpool, just 10 minutes of madness like we have in every away game since the New Year. Time will show how much we can.

That comp you haven't ever won is the biggest obstacle to your being taken seriously on the European scene. Even Forest are regarded more highly for their history in the competition. If we had already won the league in the last five years I'd be prioritising the Champions league 100%. Your second point. Yes you can finish 6th and win but it's just a different form of skill required to win. Luck plays a bigger role but the two legged tie nature of the format seperates men from boys in a similar way to a league campaign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salah could have bagged that volley in the sixth minute instead of the screamer in 55th. The only thing seperating it and you and Cicero calling it a typical early second half capitulation is one shot went in and the other didn't.

Well if we are counting shots like that, Willian could have scored for us in the first so could have Eden. Wasn't much worst of a shot than Salah's effort was.

carefreeluke 722 Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Thought we were OK and adopted a similar approach to the league cup final against City. From 30-60 minutes we seemed to lose control in the game and that's where Liverpool won it. We failed in that period to break up their pressure, the start of the second half especially was just wave and wave of Liverpool attacks and we failed to get any respite from that.

Bluewolf 7,161 Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 I know people bang on all the time about how scummy Chelsea fans are as if they were all alone and no other club had any but this was out of order by some stupid Liverpool idiot or group of idiots yesterday... https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/sportsnews/article-6923229/Young-Chelsea-supporter-left-needing-aid-treatment-Liverpool-fans-threw-smoke-bomb.html That poor young lad.. trying to enjoy a day out at the football and shit like that happens.. so much for security checks going in.. You could have over 30.000 decent fans at one game behaving themselves and it only takes 1 idiot to ruin it.. @Stan thought I would stick this one up and save you the bother... your reputation as a Liverpool hater is well known on these boards.. let someone else take the lead for a bit mate...

The Artful Dodger 1,831 Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 When did flares become such a thing in England? If you're going to light one then you shouldn't be such a coward as to thrown it away from you. I assume the culprit will be fairly easy to identify and will be banned, probably nicked too.

LFCMike 3,009 Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 It was a smoke bomb, not a flare. But yeah, don't know why you'd think about chucking one into a crowd of people. Hopefully the culprit gets a lengthy ban Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
