My day started so badly due to the weather making it impossible to travel to the game but it ended nicely. Maybe the new breed of refs ain't accepting anymore of those brown envelopes from the RS...........Have that you horrible mutant tits. COYB.
Forgot to say ,please.forward said brown envelopes to our Sam he loves em....
 
I know that we didn't exactly put on a great attacking display but when was the last time a team went away to Anfield and played two up front. We've been there before under Smith and Moyes with 4 centre backs and two holding midfielders.
 

No argument here, I'd also much rather take a point out of a game we were getting dominated in. However, I'd take issue with my manager setting us up to not have a go at least against our fiercest rivals. Take the penalty out of this game and I wonder how happy you would be.

Sam had us in Europe after finishing twelfth and by winning the fair play, so I'm not sure how indicative that is of how well we were playing. Bilic then took over and lead us to Europe through the table, narrowly missing out on 4th and generally giving us fans the most memorable season we've had in decades. Our woes are mostly down to our Board, but that's by the by.

If the advice you are referring to is "respect the point", that's a commonly used phrase by Sam, generally before big games.
If we went at the rs it would have been at least 4-0.
 
Been at work and couldn't swap my shift and just seen the penalty incident. No idea what they are moaning about, if it was the other way round they would screaming for a pen and going ballistic if one hadn't been given. About time we got one against them after all the dubious ones they have had over the years.
Every pundit (even carragher and souness admitted it) has said it was a penalty. Bar klopp, I’ve yet to see anyone say it wasn’t a penalty, the RS will milk this decision for all its worth to influence decisions going in their favour in the forthcoming cup tie. I bet you klopp is still harping on about it in the build up to that game. When you think of the numerous decisions going against us ever since the Hamilton disallowed goal in the 77 semi final, then we are due another 40 years of decisions going our way.

Phil Neville went on about it not being a pen for about 20 minutes after we scored. Rat.
 
Let's just call it as it was; we were outplayed in midfield, sat deep and created absolutely nothing. But....we competed across the pitch without creating anything - even though they had the ball on a string it wasn't like Pickford was pulling saves out of his backside to keep us in it.

There is an arrogance about them that comes from a misguided place of their relevance & ability. Sure Salah is top drawer and in fairness I thought Gomez looked a great prospect. I'm in no doubt had Coutinho played or Solanke didn't they'd have won. But they didn't. We had looked comfy despite some lazy punts from Pickford that offered nothing, I thought Rooney got isolated on the right from the impressive Kenny allowing a few overlaps. But when half time was in sight their best player by a mile stood Williams up and bent it in.

To hear that demented idiot say it wasn't a penalty a quick one for him, if you shove a player who has the ball outside the box is it a freekick? Of course it is. Lovren got caught wrong side and had hands all over DCLs back - was it a cheap foul. Absolutely. But was it a penalty? Absolutely. Anyone who says different is looking favourably at a unnesseary challenge that made the ref make a call. I thought Niasse was unlucky in the first half to get called back for a foull by DCL as he flicked it on. At least the lad in the middle saw both challenges as fouls.

Got out of jail, I know that. Somehow a point felt like a win. After too many years of not even competing there it was a great point - we have played far better in the past & got nothing so it was sweet. Motm is hard for me - we never had the ball, Gana did well second half; Kenny had his best game in a blue shirt, Holgate showed how far he has come on & Williams although clumsy won his battles and even though Rooney takes the headlines I'd have to give it to our number 43 on the right hand side. Any analyst can pore over that game & say what they want but for the first time in years we stood up and had a go. A draw isn't a measure we should set ourselves by, but the commitment and resilience from a side so low on confidence against the media's version of footballs Harlem Globetrotters is so sweet.

lol

442 can be as defensive as any formation and it was today.
 
Well I was spot on with my prediction, too bad I didn't place a bet.

However it must be said whilst we were not great each man gave his all in a blue shirt and that makes very happy.

Think from that result we can now push on up the league.
 
Disgraceful that. You will have ex RS pundits excusing klopp’s outburst as passion and frustration and yet we have an ex captain of ours, siding with klopp over a decision, which let’s be frank was correct.

If I never hear his voice again it will be too soon. Was infuriating how frequently he talked us down. Said we played scared at the pit when he was captain.
