Verrati shouldve been off made like 5 or 6 fouls straight after his yellow. Didnt even give the pen until the useless goal line official did his job for once.

This group has offered the most exiting footy i recall the past years, all 3 teams should get to the knock out stage.
Years ago i hoped Veratti to be the mantel of Pirlo, but that c*** has even worse attitude and acting than Neymar.
It was tight match and unluckily Silva had the day where he is the best CB in the world. Officials where horrendous, no control over the match, but also Pool got lucky not to get penalty in the end.
PSG would be so much better team if the egos play as a team, Neymar and Mbappe are playing for fun but others, especially Cavani seems to be left out from the "cool" kids group and rather than passing to Cavani they will hold the ball. In the end there was the same thing with Choupo-Moting, they just did not want to pass ball to him for runs. But who would have ever tough that Stoke guy will play for PSG...But **** that guy can win every header.
Edit:
About Pool... You guys just dont like to play away, 3 cl away lost, 3 shots on target in those games(1 was pen). There is no transition from mid to attack,long balls only up front, Mane was the biggest threat, but he seemed to lost steam in the end. Surprised also about playing Gomez not TAA, Shaqiri should have also come on earlier or even started. There was passion and effort from the second half, it just did not affect the end product.

Few dodgy decisions, but have to take hats off to PSG, the better team won on the night. Neymar, theatrics aside, showed exactly why he's the most expensive player of all time.
Veratti sending off would've been a HUGE turning point though, as he's their only CM with a bit of class. Evaded pressure so much & was the guy progressing it every time in transition; they would've been half the team without him in there orchestrating things.... so Liverpool can 100% feel aggrieved from that angle.
Still in your hands though, can't ask for much more than that.

On to you comment a week or so ago about us not being gung ho anymore. Last night was the first time i disagreed with Klopps pace ourselves approach. People saying the midfield wasnt good enough forget that it was largely the same midfield that got us to the final last year. I dont understand why he changed up our approach against the big clubs when it works so well for us. Klopp got it all wrong last night.
I think he's had it a little wrong for a while now, but actually he's got the results in the league so it's not mattered. European away is a very different story, and its not been good enough, partly because he asked you to press slightly less, and you created a lot of chances from high turnover, and for a number of reasons you're no long high pressing and getting some of those chances. That said, last night was mostly a case of PSG simply being the better team

Brilliamt isn’t it?
Its been funny today reading meltdowns on social media when you’re out there quite happy and non-plussed. Funny how different views of things are and what you look for between following a team live and not.
Said the train yeaterday morning that there’s a lot to be said for getting beat tonight to set up another super memorable Anfield European night instead of winning and having a ‘meh’ last game with Napoli to not look forward to. And now we have that.
One of those when you really couldn’t be arsed about losing in a ‘free hit’ game knowing the safe guard of Napoli and another brilliant night was in store. So much so I never went the game. Mates lad was with us for the first time, minus his dad, and didn’t have a ticket so along with not being arsed, it seemed the decent thing to do. I’ve been doing this 30 odd years. That was his first Euro away. Plus the BOSS Night gig was a auperb place ro be match day. Absolutely love that about our unique fan culture that we can take it upon ourselves to organise something like that in another foreign City and have a great time enjoying it. Just part of being a Liverpudlian that nakes it so special.
Another superb trip. But then its Paris. Hard not to have a boss time there. Which as noted many times is ALL that matters on a Euro away. If you let the football spoil it you’re doing it BADLY wrong.
Roll on a week Tuesday.
Up the soundly placed European Reds!

Trying SO hard to get enthusiastic for later. But I’m just not feeling it.
I mean to the Ev it’s all encompasing. They’ve worked themselves up into their usual, foaming at the mouth, kill all Red_____ frenzy. And if they finally do, it’ll be celebrated like the league and European Cup rolled into one. The DVD will be out before the lights go out on the ground. Street party’s will bring Rhyl to a standstill. And Evertonian wifes will cancel going into hiding for once after a Derby.
To Reds, it’s now all very ‘meh.’ I guess thats a natiral byproduct of Everton being the very definition of mid-table mediocrity and of absolutely zero significance for 3 decades now. Don’t get me wrong. It’s still, for those of us from/ still in the City, the game you want to win more than any other every season. But that’s mainly down to having to deal with the bitter delusionals day in, day out and their L’pool obsessed lives. Outside of that, it’s just ‘another’ game against mid-table _____. Try as they might, they just don’t bother you anymore.
Even in a worse case scenario we lose later, the main thing on Reds minds is the curve it woild through into the deadly serious title assault. Everton, you’d just shrug your shoulders, accept that after 20-years the law of averages says they had to win one; and move on safe in the knowledge it’d be liable to be another double figure year steetch until it happened again.
We just don’t care or think about you lads now outside of winding yers up. We truly don’t.
That said, I fully expect L’pool to lick Everton three or four today and keep our ‘new’ L’pool obsessed ‘mates’ down the East Lancs, so deaperate to create their own rivalry with us, dejected at the Red title charge breathing down their necks whatever they do.
Up the mid-table Cup Final party pooping Reds!

NO better way to win any game of football, let alone a Derby, than that! And a certain full circle dose of karma with Origi netting and what Funis More did to him.
To to the short armed gobshite.
City, the best team in the history of football and all that, must be sick the sight of these Reds they just can’t shake. 2 horse fight for the title. Who knew?
That’s now L’pool’s second best start to a top flight season in our 126-year-history.
The fewest ever goals we’ve conceded through 14 games in our entire history.
And now 29 games and counting unbeaten at fortress Anfield the league.
Yet STILL folk, admitedly mostly non-match going Reds, want to question the evolution of this side into the deadly serious title contemders they are. I mean, SERIOUSLY? Fergusons Utd are doing what this gang of top, TOP Reds are and everyones (rightly) lauding them amd saying ‘That’s what Champions do.’ Without City blowing everyone away, we’re storming clear the top the league. But they are and they can’t get clear themselves.
Relish what we have lads. Which is the beat group we’ve had the PL era and one thats evolved into the equal of most anything in Europe. With still more gears to go up through and their best still to come.
But today, to win the Derby like that, AGAIN after Sadio the othr Chrimbo ..... Ale is calling. And copious amounts of it!

In all honesty, that was a get out of jail moment.
Glad that's over.
Feel for Pickford, has happened to our keepers multiple times. Id rather not criticize him because **** happens and having seen the abuse thrown the way of Karius.
Really need to rethink the lineup and formation for this crucial 8 day period....

Be surprised if its any more than a fine given the context. Be silly to ban someone for an in the moment celebration to win a Derby in such fashion.
But hey, even if they did ban him, sound. Rather r manager have unadulterated passion like that matching the cacophony of arms and limbs in mad ecstacy the stands at the single best way to win a game of football than not.
No doubt the media will push it for a few days when something FAR worse and WAY more newsworthy happened down at Arsenal. In 2018 FFS. What a World.
The entire Liverpool bench was passionate and ecstatic but they somehow managed to respect the rules. You can't excuse every Klopp's freakout with his passionate personality. The rule is that he stays in his designated area, he broke that rule by 30 meters. If he's that over-excitable and can't contain himself, he needs to start taking some medication.

Not that I was excusing anything but ‘every?’
Pray tell when thats happened before? And Pep was on the pitch too celebraring with him. You banning him too?
Absolute non-story in context. And again, as silly as it would be, I’d be perfectly sound with any touchline ban. Loved that to a 95th minute Derby winner. No problem personally at all.

Today has been the single best work day EVER!!!!!
To spend all last week hearing about how this Everton side was different/ how they wouldn’t F up and would give us a game et al ..... to then have them actually live upto that and play SO well, only for the miniature armed lil’ freak to go F up and throw the game away SO spectacularly ..... I do believe we’ve categorically ripped out their souls and destroyed any last lingering bit of hope they had left! Haha. To say they’re completely devoed to have thrown that away in the most Everton way imaginable is an understatement.
Arguably the best league celebration ever too. To say it ‘went off’ was an understatement. Even the run to Kiev last year never saw such a scrum of arms and legs in one heaving mass of ecstacy. NO better way to win any game. Let alone one which cancels the Ev’s Chrimbo. AGAIN!!!!!
I never realised either that they threw a flair just before the winner to ‘celebrate’ the ‘draw’ ..... Which makes it all the better- ‘Have that yers Red****e Btards! This is the new Everton!’
’No lads. You have THAT!!!!!’
if yers offer me beating Utd in a few weeks 6-0, or beating them 1 with a 95th minute winner I’m taking the later in a heartbeat!
What a time to be alive. What a time to be following this gang of super special Reds.
