Milik always does this, so welcome to my life with our national team for the past 3 years.

He has an amazing ability to find unexpected goalscoring position, the ball just seems to accidently fall at his feet all the time, and then he boots it over the bar.

Bit hard for him to do anything when there’s a massive yellow starfish on him making the goal minuscule. Schmeichel-esq that game winning save last night.

World class goalkeeping from a World class goalkeeper. Again. 90 minutes of having next to nottin to do then he ensures the win and progression.

Just like big Virg, nobody’s even mentioning the price now. Let alone mocking it.

Best we’ve had since Brucie Grobbelaar.

This season, the best in all of Europes top 5 leagues.

Its weird because that pit in your stomach feeling has been drilled into us Liverpool fans with our defending over the years, and its hard to get rid of it, despite having such a superb defence now.

I cannot watch a game without sweaty palms and weak knees. Even at 3-0 at Bournemouth I had a feeling of " okay 10 minutes to go, if we hold on for 3 minutes more, then they need to score 3 goals in 6 minutes"
7 years of terrible defending will do that do anybody. .....

Really? Isn’t that interesting?

Personally get the complete opposite knowing we have well arguably the best CH in the World and a top bracket goalie who’s fast elevated himself over the last two seasons into the discussion for the best around in his position. Not to mention JMG outshining even big Virg and being bith our and the entire leagues top CH to this point this year by gemeral consensus. Along with Andy Robbo’s meteoric rise.

I don’t think I’ve been less concerned about our defence as a collective since ‘01. Not even worried these days when either Matip or Moreno come in.



Interestng to me people still worry on things back there.

Its one of them brain vs stomach things.

My brain is not worried at all, but my stomach is just going mental. Its a really weird feeling. Its just a case of re-training my body to know everything is actually good now
 
Ok. So unless we’re EXCEPTIONALLY unlucky and pull Turin, we really can’t fail to have an absolutely boss trip next March from Mondays last 16 draw.

Could have really done with Utd winning in Valencia this evening to remove what would be a nightmare trip to Turin. (Pretty sure I’d just do the day-trip from a safety standpoint.). But they not surprisingly didn’t so if the Football Gods are reading, I’ll take this order please Monday morning:

Munich.
Porto.
Madrid.
Barcelona.
Dortmund.






Juventus.

On the pitch, I’ll happily take anyone.

One things for certain. Not one of those sides will want to pull this gang of superb Reds!

Yup it is. Logically one shouldn't be worried but we have hardly ever been a logical team past 7 years....

Maybe need another CB in January now...
 
Might want to reinforce indeed if you want to compete on two fronts. Especially since Champions League looks really open this year. A lot of usual top teams are not playing to their best. Barca and Real are both wank, Bayern couldn't' get out of their own box for half of the Ajax game, and from what I've seen of Juve they're not as solid as they used to be either.

That’s unfortunate for Joel after the three straight boss performances hes put together.

Next man up!

We’ll sound so long as Degsy doesn’t go down. On his natural right side alongside big Virg he’s been pretty much stellar for over a year now in the main. Fabinho can always drop in back there. And as limited as he is, you feel a whole bunch better over Nat Phillips after his pre-season displays in a worst case.

Least JMG and Matip are short term so its muddling through until they’re back.

Unless maybe soneone young with longterm potential comes up, or we box a Keita like deal for Pulisic, I’ll be surprised if we add anything in January as of now. Could do with replacing one of Lovren or Matip the summer though given the time they miss injured.
 
Super. Trent out now. Looking like the next three at least. But thats football. You find a solution.

Next man up!

I mean it’s not that big an issue/ change with Degsy at CH and either Milner or Fabinho RB.

Just stretches us real thin over Chrimbo.

No more injuries ta.

Napoli fan attacked in Liverpool
Click to expand...

’I thought I was going to die!’ ..... That’s sensationalist journalism if ever there was some. ‘Shocker’ coming from the Italian press. Try getting back up from the port in Naples with no bizzies around, virtually no taxis and the scooter ____houses flying all over. But they don’t like to report on their own.

That aside (which even then they have the details all wrong from the video I’ve seen. Not to condone any aggro) , there was nothing major. The matrix were out in a VERY visable, fully tooled up presence all night with extra numbers drafted in so they had everything pretty well boxed off thankfully.

Seen a big group of Napoli lads been marched on the ground around 6 all dressed in black chanting ‘F off Liverpool!’ but they were surrounded by police so none of our lot went anywhere near them.

Not heard of anything. Seems to have passed pretty peacefully all told mercifully after the absolute carnage from the last time 8 years ago and the trouble in Naples earlier this year.
 
Hmmm it is not that bad then yeah. Didint have time to do research for it. It is understandable that different media outlets focus differently.
 
Mo takes home the Beeb African Player of the Year award for the second straight year.

Still blows my mind that anyone, let alone ******* L’pool ‘fans’, actually questioned him early season whilst they were all learning/ adjusting to his and Bobby’s new roles/ positions. What was it last Saturday? Fastest ever Liverpool player to 40 league goals. Already the top 10 of Liverpool PL goalscorers a season and a quarter in. 56 goals in 74 games with 35 in 38 at Anfield. The records just keep on tumbling and hes just getting better and better. Absolutely phenominal output.

Anyone who STILL doesn’t think he’s the natural successor to Messi and Ronaldo when he’s continuing to put up Messi/ Ronaldo-esq numbers whilst showing no signs of slowing down are deluding themselves. And Mo will just carey on making you look rather silly.

Bona fide World Class superstar.

Pinched off Facey, sums it up perfectly...


So let's get this right. Everton fans are City fans tomorrow..because they don't want Liverpool to stay top.

Everton fans are United fans on Sunday..because they don't want to see Liverpool return to the top.

There's no end to the bitterness.

It’s good to be a Red .... POOL

Fully expect to be a point behind City come Sunday evening.

The Ev are the Ev and they’ll doubtless bend over this dinner time. Can’t see anything other than a comfortable City win.

And I always expect the worst against Utd. That just is what it is. I mean all things being equal, we should wallop you. You’re a LONG way behind us even without Mourinho continuing to F the club up. You now are Liverpool of most of the PL era and its gonna take a whole bunch more than a manager change to turn that around.

But it’s Utd. And you just have the hex on us. De Gea is liable to turn into Superman again, as he most ALWAYS does at Anfield, and you’ll scrawn a point. You know the script.

Yanno even in the ‘80’s, when we were the top side in Europe, let alone England, we played you 25 times in league and cup. You know how many times we beat Utd? Four times. FOUR out of 25 games we came out on top. And you were ***** more or less the whole decade.


They just have the Indian sign on us.


Normally really confident most every game with this current side but Utd’s just one of them were anythings a bonus.

I just celebrated an Everton goal. I feel really dirty now.
 
Mourinho likes nothing better than to **** in the punch bowl. I can see United beating Liverpool. I hope for an entertaining match.
