[Marc Overmars]

Reckon Spurs will fluke their way through.

Or lose 5-0.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-0 Gakpo.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Peter Drury is having a mare, firstly says Szoboszlai went ahead of himself, when offside.

And now saying Gakpo's goal limits this to a one-off 60 minute tie? Huh?

This could still go to extra time/pels.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Richarlison off injured again, Tel on.

:popcorn:

[Niall_Quinn]

This is all set up for Tel to score the winner. Can you imagine?

Back in the real world, Salad will probably put them to bed and move Liverpool on to their first silverware of the season.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

2-0 Salah pelanty.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

3-0 Szoboszlai.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

4-0 Van Dijk.

Could get really nasty now.

[Niall_Quinn]

4-0 van Dick

[Niall_Quinn]

They seem to take their football seriously. Unlike some football themed businesses I could mention in London.

[Niall_Quinn]

FT 4-0

Spuds mashed.

North London meltdown. :bow:

[Letters]

North London For-Never? :unsure:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Villa v Liverpool is now played on February 19th. :popcorn:

Just before Man City away for them.

Though Man City have Real Madrid away that night too, just makes it a bit more spicy for Liverpool.

I was at a Bible study #rockandroll but I did have a sneaky look and saw Liverpool were 1-0 up.
As I was leaving I saw it was 2-0 but then I don't think I dared look till the end. But...

[Mac76]

Hope Liverpool win, tbh, can't stand the thought of Trippier winning anything

[Letters]

I don’t hope that but Liverpool will clearly win.

[Mac76]

It doesn't mean much in the scheme of things if Liverpool win, they have won bigger things lately and will win the PL this year

[HCZ_Reborn]

It doesn't mean much in the scheme of things if Liverpool win, they have won bigger things lately and will win the PL this year

No but fuck them. I don’t think I’ve ever seen such fanfare given to a team that really isn’t that special

I don’t like that Newcastle is owned by MBS’ PR guy. And their fans all sound like they’ve got learning difficulties. But as you say it’s not an important trophy in the grand scheme of things, and I wouldn’t begrudge them winning something after so long

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Going out of two competitions in a week wouldn't be a great way of going in to the international break.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

1-0 Burn.

Completely deserved.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Liverpool 0-1 Newcastle, Burn!!! What a header.

[Mac76]

1-0 Burn.

Completely deserved.

Agree, Newcastle have been much the better side

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Great defending Jota

[Mac76]

Jota :lol:

[HCZ_Reborn]

What are the odds for Liverpool to get awarded their 13th pel of the season in this second half?

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

We'd have to get into their box for that.

[Mac76]

I did think that was a Trippier handball tbh, he was looking at the ball and moved his hand towards it, a real let off IMO

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Disallowed goal for Isak.

[Letters]

No but fuck them. I don’t think I’ve ever seen such fanfare given to a team that really isn’t that special
Pretty much.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-2 Isak!!!

[Mac76]

2-0 Isak, good finish

This is a walkover so far, Liverpool just haven't turned up

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Great save from Pope off Jones.

[Marc Overmars]

Fair play to the Barcodes. We moan about trophy droughts but they literally have generations of fans who never witnessed their club win something. Must feel pretty special.

[Mac76]

A Liverpool goal now would make the last 20 mins exciting

[Mac76]

Also it'll be a shame for Willock if he doesn't get a runout in rhis game

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Ah yes, the 3-1-6 formation.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

AA being out is an issue in itself because it prevents Liverpool using that lofted ball out wide to Salah quite so much because nobody else has the quality to deliver it, apart from Van Dijk..

Compounded with Bradley not being there to interchange quickly and make darting runs.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ah yes, the 3-1-6 formation.

And that's the bottom line.

[Mac76]

Bruno should get booked there

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

And that's the bottom line.

:lol:

[Mac76]

Wilson and Willock on, good to see

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Indeed. It's a huge issue. Not that we were filing on all cylinders with him either, but it completely hamstrings us since the huge majority of our play comes down the right and Quansah isn't a particularly stellar centre half let alone wing back (and will be a major issue next season, as good as Bradley is/will be). Couple that with Jota and Diaz being woefully out of form, and a midfield (and wider team, but most especially the midfield) running on fumes and it has the same feeling as this time last season.

[Letters]

Piss off

It's extremely hard to keep at the level you've been for most of the season, for the whole season.

You've probably got enough on us but it could be a limp to the line kind of finish.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Chiesa's goal will stand.

[Letters]

Fair play to the Barcodes. We moan about trophy droughts but they literally have generations of fans who never witnessed their club win something. Must feel pretty special.

Cup Final Day in 1998.
Got on a train going to Wembley full of barcodes.
Got chatting, I said to them “It would be amazing for us to complete the Double”.
One of them said “We haven’t even been to Wembley since 1974”
They lost then too!
It does put it in to perspective

Looks like it’ll be 2-1 :rolleyes:

[Mac76]

It's definitely onside, VAR took hours

[Letters]

Yeah. Right decision but I fear I know how this will end now.
:sick:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I don't think Chiesa understood :lol:

[Mac76]

Is Tonali deaf?
