The conman played him out of position but we overpayed for a kid who was still raw and wasn't ready for the premier league yet.

Let’s not forget ‘the conman’ has taken this football club the closest its been in 30 years to a league title.

Just saying.

Nobody to blame for where Markovic currently is bar Markovic himself.
 
Just watching the Pool game now Allison top gk no doubt but he’s getting caught over playing a few times this season could of cost you twice alone in what I’ve watched so far of this match. Henderson was lucky also coz he defo tripped Maddison! And that was a stone wall on Kieta.

Think Suarez playing out of his skin might have been a certain reason why we got so close. Not saying markovic hasnt got a terrible attitude but he was never ready for the premier league that's all.

Looked like it was the first time Allison had played a game on snow. Hendo had a decent game at fullback dont know why he was getting slated. Only got caught out when he was caught upfield but the midfield should be providing cover in that case anyway.
 
The good thing now when Alisson does something mad is nobody in the crowd panics. Everyones now used to that being a part of him. Mistakes are going to happen and inevitably cost us at times but you just have to shrug your shoulders and forget about it like the rest of the team as the good FAR outweighs the bad in his game.

He’s given the team a conpletely different dimension with his distribution this season. Setting the tempo quickly pinging it all over getting us going the other way. His ability as a footballer was a big part of why he was our top choice over Oblak. Like Edison at City, he fits how we want to play and keep evolving. And he has that much fairh in his own ability to take lads on with a ball at his feet (which is well founded 9 times out of 10), that trying to change him for the sake of the 1 time he F’s up would be pointless.

Like another mad ******* Brucie Grobbelaar he’s unconventional to the English game. But as he’s WC goalkeeping good like Bruce the payoff is MORE than worth it.

Not unexpected but frustrating start to match-day.

That’s his season then in all likelihood.

Devoed for Joe. Unlucky isn’t the word. Three big injuries during the course of games you just can’t legislate for.

So van Dijk, Lovren, Matip and Fabinho. As gutting as it is to lose JMG, we’ll be sound the run-in. Lest we forget big Virg and Degsy Lovren were as good as anything out there the run to Kiev last season.

Injuries are part and parcel of football. We have the depth and even if that gets eaten into, you find a solution and get on with it. As we have all season.

Next man up!

Utterly devoed for Joe like. Lad has had some terrible luck. But at least his medal is secure if we do win the league.

Rehab well mate and be ready to go pre-season for the league and European Cup defence next year!

Normaly hate missing games but West ‘Am, their absolute ******** fans, and the single worst joke of an (athletics) stadium the entire football league, let alone PL, not so much. Couldn’t pay me enough to go there again.

Great to see Curtis Jones joining Rafa the bench. Pity its in these circumstances. But Lallana be sound. These things are part and parcel of a season for every club. Just ask Tottenham.

Funny side these. Either bang on it giving anyone a game or rank bad stinking the place out.

Into this shower of ***** Redmen! Doesn’t matter how you achieve it at this stage, just WIN! Even more needed with City about to be handed a ‘free’ win Wednesday from the Ev which no bitter I know wants ANYTHING out of!

Up the 5 clear Reds!
 
Very engrosing game.

Great wing play Lallana the goal. **** poor from the Lino with Milner well off. Then he misses a clear corner later to compound his shocking half. Swings and roundabouts I guess.

Great training ground free kick the equaliser. Though Naby switched off. Shocking miss from Rice. Having a nightmare on free kicks tonight defensively. A little too narrow. That meeds sorting half-time.

Keep working Reds. These have put a heck of a lot in. Their legs should atart to go around 60.
 
Waiting for Carroll winner header...

But **** that Rice guy. **** brilliant controlling the mid and passing, shame with header.
 
Meh, can’t win them all.

Could be 2 poimts dropped. Could be an invaluable point gained come May. We’ll find out in due course.

Credit West Ham for 90 minutes honest hard graft. What makes this league unique. 9 times out of 10 theres NO easy games.

If you can’t win, make sure you don’t get beat. And they’ve now equaled or bettered the FINAL points total of 10 of our PL seasons. At the start of February.

Lomg way to go with a lot of football left to play yet with a lot of twists for both sides.

13 more boys to immortality.

Up the Top the League Reds!
 
Should've went 7 clear last week, but will (probably) be in 2nd position going into Bournemouth. Interesting mental test now. Can't keep throwing this City side lifelines.
 
Would disagree, think City's on a big high now mentally. Pep & his squad are probably wondering "how the **** can we go 1st on Wednesday for a few days?" after the season they've had (by their own set-standards). Lost 2x more games this season already.

Offer Liverpool 2nd on GD going into Bournemouth in Feb at the start the season and they'd bite your hand off. Offer it a week ago and most would tell you to F off. All about psychology & how Liverpool respond to these slip ups and the mental annoyance of throwing City lifelines from what was an extremely strong position.
 
Hey, you’ve tried to convince yourself all season that we’re no threat and it’s City’s league to lose so why change now mate? ;)

Honestly I hold my hands up. I said there's more banana slips in this LFC team than City, but the noisy neighbours are currently pulling my pants down on that one, whilst you seem to be peaking and scoring more freely.

Your title to lose as it stands. I think January is an interesting window, Pep needs a DM. Thank **** he didn't get Jorginho, hope he doesn't get his paws on De Jong.

Now now mate, I practically conceded that you were probably gonna win the title 2 months ago the way it was going.

City looked really shaky, and even though (imo) LFC have slightly flattered to deceive most of the season (whilst still winning), they looked like they were beginning to peak going into the New Year, United/Fergie-esque. I honestly didn't see anything else but you lot maintaining/stretching an advantage over our noisy neighbours going into 2019, and I think looking at Leicester/West Ham/Bournemouth etc. vs. City's fixture list, most ladies & gents would've thought the same.

Like I said, would've bitten arm off for this position in August, it's just handling this negative mental swing when you consider you could've been 7 clear last week but maybe behind going into Bournemouth.

They’d not dropped a point in 16 games against a non-top 6 side until the end of January. Which was beyond ridiculous and was always going to end. So now they drop 4 in 2 games. Or pick up 2 vital ones. We won’t know which until May. With all but 3 of the last 13 against non-top 6 sides. And 2 of those 3 at home.

We’ve chased from behind. We’ve lead. The same as City. And we’re still sat 3 clear with City dropping more than ourselves to this point.

Point being thete’s no greater pressure either way to me which has been born out to this point. Both sides will feel it. Both sides will drop more points. With Eurooe about to re-enter the mix to boot.

39 points still up for grabs. With next to nothing to split the top 2. LONG way to go.

BTW, is this where we have a Zz/ Anthony-esq hissy fit and accuse people of trolling/ fishing/ trying to stir up trouble et al in another teams thread as we migjt not agree?

Or do we just carry on discussing respectfully like mature adults?

Asking for a friend.
