WHY? Why would you take off Saka? We're hanging in by a thread now and relying on an individual moment of brilliance. So you bring off the player that could do that? WHY?

Jesus really isn't a striker is he? Straight at the keeper.
3-2? #neighbourupdates
Taylor blew early to prevent all that. He's a grade one cheat.
Did we have the ball in the net? He was yelling about something
Taylor has decided the result. And the Sky shitbags just go along with it as if this isn't one of the wort examples of cheating so far this season.
So, REAL SCORE is 3-2, PL score is 2-2
Taylor came through at the key moment. He's earned his bribe today.
I'm dreading the hook up of two of the worst cheating cunts in the league, Taylor and Salad. There's time for one more dive.
Taylor has it covered, nothing will be allowed now until the final whistle. He's shutting everything down. The Asians must want 2-2.
Ah-ha, they even took our corner away from us. It's so blatant.
Yes a left-footer who can't defend would be great at RB :rolleyes:Quote:

Asians win again. FT 2-2.
Arteta bottled it. Taylor sculpted the result very skilfully tbf, and 2 eat points thrown down the drain. I say easy because Liverpool are actually shit. Nothing there. And all we can et is a draw at hime? No title coming here.
Yet a player who cn't do anything unless he has 5 minutes on the clock is a boon?Quote:

But we decided to make them look good in the secnd half, by sitting back and letting them play. Very stupid, inexplicable, don't know what the theory behind that shit was.Quote:

We can criticise Taylor all we want for blowing early, but if we imagine for a second that VAR wouldn’t have taken that goal away from us I think we’ve been watching a different sport
Anyway 2 points dropped. We’ve made Newcastle and Chelsea must wins now.
Well if we'd taken the half chances that fell to Havertz and Martinelli better.....who knows.Quote:

Oh well, fairly easy 3 points thrown down the drain. By choice. Not so smart.
I also think this was a terrible decision.Quote:

I was also surprised but it's possible Saka needed to come off because of his injuryQuote:

So the ref had blown his whistle before Havertz netted but was he right to? Was there a foul?
And apparently we should have had a corner at the end
That's a bit silly, we literally had none of our first choice defence in their positions against a good attacking teamQuote:

Can't have many more of these.
Yeah the quality of their play has been affected but not their mentality.....no matter what the situation is they try and win or grab something.Quote:

The biggest shift in this team has been the mentality, the negativity is just so overwhelming and surprising....but what exactly is responsible for the shift is not something glaring IMO.....I mean Arteta choosing to plays 7- 8 defensive players anytime we take a lead might have something to do with it, but it seems there is something more....
I think he felt Havertz used his hands to either control the ball while jumping or to get leverage. I think this particular decision was fair.Quote:

Where on earth is the foul at the end that Taylor blew for?
Obviously sky think there is one as they can’t go against the PGMOL
As much as it pains me, I agree with NQ. They aren’t a good attacking team….they’ve got Salah who yes is a great playerQuote:

When you take the lead twice against a team at home you should be winning.
We’ve always been negative when defending leads against the big sides under Arteta. In a way it’s understandable because we don’t have the quality up front to finish teams off.Quote:

He's so corrupt and so obviously corrupt it's painful to have to find words to express the obvious. `he's been corrupt for years. BUT. If you don't fold like cheap deck-chairs in the second half, having dominated a very ordinary opposition, then you don't give the ref a chance to win his Asian Gambler of the Year award. Self inflicted inury, despite the known-in-advance corrupt Taylor.Quote:

Okay, so here you are. City win. Amazing achievement, blah, blah.
We MAY get second again, it's possible. Depends if Liverpool want to haul themselves up rm their presently shitty fluke form. We can easily beat them, if we want to. But it's not actually possible to beat city because of the rules which are set by city. And this come down to money, which is unimpeachable. Do you really think the 150K a week boys will sacrifice that gig so the fans can get a balanced playing field? It takes a lot to be able to pay fairly mediocre actors 150K a week. You MUST have a return on that investment and the recipients aren't going to be complaining once they make bank. Not sure I'd complain myself if somebody was just stuffing 150K a week in my bank account. Why would I?
It’s not that good but not a disaster eitherQuote:

It’s an okish result for us, a good result for Liverpool but the real winners, as always, are City.
Whether it’s rigged by actual bribery and corruption or just by City being allowed to flout the rules to hoover up all the best players doesn’t really matter. The brilliance of sport is its unpredictability. But the PL isn’t unpredictable. Bookies could pay out on City now and sleep soundly in their beds. And we aren’t out of October yet. It’s why I follow it all at arms length these days.
Sooner Odegaard is back the better.
Why, so he can sit in our own half and help defend a 1 goal lead as well?Quote:

Although City are so relentless it's already hard to look past them.
