What makes that even better are the ridiculous amount of challenges/ recoveries the midfield in particular wins.

But on the other hand, it's probably down to the authorities doing everything in their power to hand us the league/ L'pool buying off all the officials/ VAR being brought in specifically to aid L'pool (after the initial claim was it would F L'pool's cheat's up)/ whatever the latest, pathetic rhetoric is to try denigrate the mad achievements of one of the greatest sides ever seen.

Yanno, there's a delicious irony here.

For years, it's been ridiculously thrown our way from opposition fans that they didn't want us to win #19 as we'd be totally 'unbearable' and they'd never hear the end of it.

Whereas the only 'unbearable' ones are those very same opposition fans who can't deal with L'pool dominating and are all cliff jumping. Coming up with every childish, bat **** crazy conspiracy theory they can to try cope with that.
 
Well that was worth freezing yer bollocks off for on a Thursday night.

Absolutely superb, MASSIVE win.

Kudos to Wolves. They're the 4th best side in the league for me and boy did they give us a heck of a battle again. I didn't think we'd have to work harder than what Sheffield United made us work but both games against these have taken everything we've had. And both games Wolves deserved to draw. I thought they were incredibly hard done to at Anfield with the ridiculous 'off-side' goal chalked off. (I know under the rules as they currently stand he's off. But that's another area where the rules and VAR are failing SO spectacularly. They are going TOTALLY against the spirit of the game. Most rationale fans, particularly those in the ground that night, would happily of given Wolves their 'goal.' When you're trying to split hairs, over a literally a hairs breath of someone being off, then something is INHERENTLY wrong with the whole process.). And last night they gave us well arguably our toughest game all season long in what was a scrap and a half. But made for a super enjoyable game of football with some real special goals. Wolves equaliser was a top drawer break. Set up by Traore who terrorised at least three of our back 4 all night. (I think Trent was the only one he didn't come into direct contact with.). When he adds the end product to the rapid pace and power that lad takes some serious stopping. All to be topped off by another ridiculous goal from our 'King of the Road' Bobby Firmino. Which sent our end into absolute ecstasy. Man did that go off and then some. Just a collage of arms, legs and twisted bodies. I even got a kiss from the kid in front in the carnage to add to the brilliant madness to reinforce just why you do it and just why this game is the greatest sport on Earth bar none!

Wolves were superb. But the mentality of these lads was better than that. They not only won't settle for not being beaten. They won't settle for anything less than the win 9 times out of 10. I've never seen anything like these greedy btards in that regard haha.

A few stand-outs from another superb, all-round team display-

Pity the clean-sheet run didn't reach 8 straight games but it took a special, special goal to finally beat Alisson who was stellar again.

As he has been ever since Matip went down, JMG was simply outstanding. Again. We not only have the best CH in World football bar none in big Virg, but we have the best partnership anywhere bar none. With a lad who, lest we forget at still only 22, is the bonafide heir apparent to VVD's lofty status.

Talking young phenoms, Trent became the first defender in PL history to record back-to-back seasons of double-figure assists. With no player in Europe having assisted more from dead-ball situations this season.

And honestly, if there's been a better player in the PL over the last 2 months than Jordan Henderson I want to know of him? Another utterly dominant leadership display when yet again he was by far the hardest working, fittest player on the park. Topped off with a goal and an assist. It's probably come too late to the National attention of just how good he's been consistently playing all year for this. Along with people madly just looking at the flashy stats of goals and assists. But he'd get my vote for player of the year in the PL. He's been ridiculous in both the 8 and 6 positions this year. The latter of which, he's been THAT good that we've not missed Fabinho, arguably the top #6 in World football in his own right, one iota over the past two months in his absence. (What's that line about L'pool not suffering key injuries again?). Can't wait until May when we get the Jordan shuffle picking up #19. A GENUINE L'pool legend and the absolutely mad fact that he STILL has his detracters among (so-called) L'pool 'fans' is making what he's consistently doing all the sweeter. Here's to MANY more seasons of our Captain leading us to glory.

40 league games and counting unbeaten man. Joint third all-time with Chelsea in 2004-05 in English top-flight history. Only Arsenal's Invincibles (49 games), and Forest back in 1977 through 1978 (42 games. Which, ironically, we ended at Anfield), have had longer unbeaten runs. Would anyone put money on this phenomenal gang of Reds NOT smashing this into oblivion past the 50 mark?

And 14 straight wins and counting. To add to the 17 straight before that was separated by the Utd draw. City's18 straight all-time English top-flight record is WELL within their sights now again.

And now a full week off for all last nights eleven before West Ham. God help David Moyes Football GENIUS and his shower!

Up the Bobby dazzler Reds!

Big FA Cup tie at a much lower league club. Live on National TV.

Can't beat Cup tie togger when it's like that. The very essence of what footballs all about.

Just a pity its not a new ground or today would be perfect.

It's been WAY too long, not least given the MASSIVE significance the Cup holds to the City and football club, since we've added our name to the greatest straight knock-out Cup competition in World football.

Here's to the next step on that journey.

Really looking forward to this.

Up the Cup King Reds!

Nottin much to say on the shambles on the pitch but I LOVE that Klopp’s just mugged the FA off by saying they’ll be NO senior players the replay as we’re on our winter break.

Is right! The FA can’t have it all ways round. They tell clubs not to schedule friendlies during the break but then schedule Cup replays through it.

If we have a side out like against Villa the LC then they only have themselves to blame.

And the club better price it low in relation too now the manager has made his stance clear.

*Edit* And neither he nor any of the first team staff will be taking charge of the game.

A complete FU to the FA! ??

Klopp being entitled, water's wet. You've blasted managers not taking cups seriously for years mate, now this guy is not only sending out under 10s, he's refusing to manage? What a tw*t & incredibly disrespectful to Shrewsbury who earned their world cup final

'Entitled.' :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:

When it comes to Jurgen, you're becoming a serious, embarrassing parody of yourself mate.

Soz abar us for keeping both the integrity of the 'winter break; and the welfare of the players. (Let's not mention most other managers who've spoken out about this. Just be petty toward Klopp as he's taking a proper stand.).

Oh, and tell that to Shrewsbury who's manager and various players are in full agreement with standing up to the ridiculous, two-faced situation of the FA.
 
The absolute state of that FA statement not happy at managers not being happy at their stupid decisions.

Anyway, roll on the draw at the madly specific time of 7:19 the next half hour.

Only have Oxford left as a new ground. So if not them, any side at home please. There's some btard long trips with this round madly being midweek.

Although City or United away would be great. Proper away day the Cup and handy for midweek.
 

Respectful, picture-perfect explanation to the absurdity of the FA and ill-informed reaction to our approach to the replay at large.

Not that a manager should have to be the one standing up for the player's wellbeing, but he door's now been FULLY opened for EVERYONE to sit down and have mutual discourse and find proper, sensible solutions to this madness. But the authorities have too much money in play for them to doubtless ever do something as logical as that when it comes to the player's welfare.

Yanno, those lads that are only the most important aspect of their 'product' like. No biggie. :rolleyes:
 
When you've more eyes on the 23's at Wolves qualifying the PLIC than the first team in a PL game just doing what they do .....

..... Then you know you're not only in a whole different league to the other 19 teams. But you're playing a whole different SPORT!

Talking of 19, that's 19 points clear of City as we march imperiously on to title #19. In January. Stop and look at that. NINETEEN points' clear of CITY. SEVEN WINS. before JANUARY is even out! Is there anything left to say about these ridiculous Reds that hasn't been said multiple times already? WOW!!!!!

Tonight's records-

106 points from the last 38 games. (W 34 D 4 F 90 A 23.). The most any side in history has ever taken over a 38 game span. ANYWHERE!

The first side in English top-flight history to reach 70 points in a season this fast. (The previous best is through 27 games. This was L'pool's 24th game of this historic season.).

Only the 13th team ever to beat all their opponents over a season. And the first time any Liverpool side has achieved that feat in the top flight.

41 straight PL games unbeaten and counting now. (W 36 D 5 F 98 A 27,). The third-longest unbeaten run in English top-flight history. And the second-longest in PL history.

Just beyond words what these lads are doing EVERY single game.

And to top off the night, the boy wonder went and did this at Wolves-

https://twitter.com/x/status/1222614291632750595

That side that played tonight at Molineux, with the addition of Curtis Jones who made his second league appearance at West Ham, the perfect Birthday present before he turns 19 tomorrow, with a rocking, sold-out Anfield behind them ..... Let's see how Shrewsbury deal with our 23's. I'll HAPPILY take our chances next Tuesday!

Up the ****** unbelievably good Reds!
