Shout-out Freddie Woodman and Scouse you'll probably confirm this but he suited the team and the build-up more than Marmadashvilli. Being quick of his line and not being a bombscare on the ball is more important than a pure shot stopper.

Roaring success that today to have the other sides of the ground united with the Kop. Must have been over 85% of the crowd.
Which both sent out a clear message to Boston, with their condescendingly false line that it’s just ‘some fans’ ….. That right Hogan lad yeah? And it served its perfect purpose in showing we are all united on this and all in for the long fight. Be it resolved this season or next, we aren’t letting up here. Paves the way for walkouts/ late entry’s/ staying down the concourse et al.
Balls in your court L’pool. This will only get FAR worse the longer you don’t come back to the table.
You should know by now we aren’t a City or fanbase to F with.

Second straight brilliant weekend at the match. Second straight weekend of shorts and sunnies with the sun cracking the flags. Second straight weekend of a real pride filled, battling L’pool display where they’ve rediscovered the lost backbone and mentality that they’ve naturally struggled with this year.

Real day of proper pride and defiance that. Where Anfield, collectively, on and off the pitch, stood up and said a big ‘F YOU! WE’RE NO LONGER HAVING THIS!’ to Boston, a completely inept referee, a Palace team who sportsmanship is not part of their vocabulary. And that massive imposter in sport, adversity itself, that has had them crumble faster than a soggy digestive biscuit on more times than anyone cares to remember this season. Which left Anfield rocking and buzzing again. And everyone bouncing out with smiles on their faces and pride in their team once more.
First off the REAL important business of protecting affordable football for ALL future generations to have the chance to follow in our footsteps …..
If I have one disappointment from yesterday, it’s watching MOTD last night and them not deeming the biggest talking point from the game worthy of even a mention.
Let alone highlighting it! Over 50 thousand people, at a conservative guess, 85 % or so of those in attendance, coming together as one to visibly and audibly send a clear message to Boston that couldn’t have been more honest and unified. That far from the past weeks outright lying spin from Hogan that this is a ‘small minority of some fans’, we are together as one on this against the despicable, fixed multi-year increases with NO review and discussion. Stunningly bad, if unsurprising, from the BBC to leave that off the highlights. 
A stunningly brilliant, unified message from the vast majority yesterday that we are all united against this. Which tested the water, and got the perfect response. And layed down the groundwork for this to roll and ramp-up EVERY game going forward. However long it takes for the tone deaf, arrogant bleeps to come back to the table. As this will roll into next season if need be with no flags on the Kop (The Henry Boston Globe front page one was superb 
)/ walkouts/ stay-behinds/ going in late/ staying on the concourse through YNWA et al, all in the offing. For anyone naively thinking Boston wouldn’t have cared, the one thing they hate more than anything is bad PR. And contrary to the BBC swerve, the World wide feeds covered it great. It’s in many highlights packages on-line I looked at last night. Boston market EVERYTHING off the Kop and the magical Anfield experience ….. Hard to do that when we remove the flags and colour, and protest against their exploitation of that as visibly and audibly as yesterday. With far, far worse for them to the watching World to follow.
It was also very noticeable again just how quiet it was under the stand as more and more people join in with not spending anything in the ground. The amount of food, drink and programmes left unsold the past three home games won’t have gone unnoticed in Boston either.
The ball is FIRMLY back in your court John. You should know this is the completely wrong City and fan base to pick a fight with and try disparage.
And around the brilliant message sent in the 13th minute, was an even louder backing of the team all game in a really good atmosphere to both remind the manager and players this isn’t about them and we are FULLY behind them. And to remind Boston that WE are what makes Liverpool and Anfield such a draw to millions across the globe. And pricing the core, working class support this football club is built on out, will leave you just A N Other generic club with nothing to market.
Balls in your court John.
As for the actual game, that was a very good Liverpool display in the face of an absolutely abysmal showing from the inept bleep in the middle Madley. The amount of times he blew up for non-existent head injuries with Palace out to disrupt and slow the game right down, on more than one occasion when we were breaking through, was infuriatingly frustrating. To then look at a goalie down unable to stand, waving for assistance, and decide that was sound to ignore and play on through, to let the equal bleep Munoz score, was jaw dropping ineptitude. But far from folding at that adversity, as they so often have, L’pool stood firm, defended with their lives, grafted their backside off to keep the points, and gave Wirtz his belter moment in front of the Kop that will have done wonders for him. The same with what Isak will have gotten from his superb, instant control and finish from AllyMacs scruffy shot. Showing exactly why we stuck it out and paid what we did. Ekitike has been brilliant this season with his all around game. But Alex is Haaland-esq when it comes to pure #9’s who’s only bettered across the globe probably by the said Norwegian bagsman. And as if those two goals weren’t perfectly scripted enough, step forward AndyRobbo to give us one more superb memory from the best left full to ever represent this magnificent football club.
I loved that we went bang/ bang too with two quick goals. Something else we haven’t done too many times this season. And some of the lightening, end-to-end breaks were a joy to behold. Baby steps, but some real positives over the past two weekends to take forward into next year as we go again for all the marbles.
Oh yeah, in amongst some superb outfield displays, notably Curtis who was my MOTM. Gakpo, who had another really good outing as he has had of late, battling for, and winning, pretty much everything. Whilst being a constant menace. And Wirtz and Mac Allister who really stepped up. The later benefiting from the rest he and Gravenberch have recently been afforded by interchanging them game-by-game, a new cult hero was born …..
Step forward Freddy Woodman! Who played his own part with some superb saves and assured presence back there. His part in AndyRobbo’s superb breakaway goal alone is deserving of massive props. And he ended up with THREE different songs through the course of the afternoon haha. The proper P take out of Pickford ‘ ….. He CAN reach the crossbar, He’s England’s #1’ was funny as.
The way he came down the Kop end after all the other players had left the pitch to take his own personal applause was brilliant. Lads absolutely buzzing off having his moment for this club.
I’m hoping against hope that this wasn’t Mo’s last Anfield game. As grim as the hammy looks. So let’s leave that until we know for sure.
And at the end of this gameweek, we could well be up to third with Brentford having everything to play for at Utd Monday with Europe in their own hands. Here’s to Quive doing us a massive solid.
Brilliant day on and off the pitch. Unified as one.
Up the ‘F THIS! WE ARE LIVERPOOL!’ healing Reds!

I would genuinely take another season of Slot-ball eye gauging play if it meant Enrique would be willing to take over next season. I know he's mentioned how much he loves Liverpool and wants to coach in the PL, and he would be the perfect personality for the club. Watching his front three and how dynamic it is made me miss our own front three of yesteryears.
Also, I get why Slot was adamant about why he wanted to hold onto Lucho because even though his game has gone up another level (Liverpool Lucho would've blasted his goal over the crossbar lmao), his pace and directness are evident with how slow our wingplay is.

Next season won’t be anything like this regardless of who is in charge. And L’pool will be markedly improved.

Context is your friend.
Fair enough call me stupid but if we are talking about the same thing I dont think it applies as much as you think it does. Agree to disagree as usual.

There is now a full agreement in principle between PSG and Luis Enrique over a new 3 yr contract extension, and formally, it could happen any moment.

Dialogue back. And that was just through yellow cards.
You and others are not only doing Liverpool fans proud but fans across the country that these fat cats need to understand that "legacy" fans or whatever they call it are the lifeblood of football in this country. Show them the yellow card and more.

Fascinated to see how Uniteds Jota tribute goes today: joining in on 20.
Magnificent touch from them for those that do show respect.

If there’s one thing BH’s are good for, it’s a long lie-in. Needed that. Anyway, a little late this AM, but let’s get to yesterday’s latest mess …..
Yesterday’s admin-
Title Defence Countdown Ended Gameweek 34.
17 wins down/ 3 to go. (Adjusted from pre-season target of 27 wins.).
58 points down/ 9 to go. (Adjusted from pre-season target of 89 points.).
Top 5 CL Qualification:
Currently joint 4th.
4 points from 9 needed to officially confirm.
For a Utd- L’pool game, that was rank bad. Two really poor teams running around like a group of disorganised, if enthusiastic, school kids chasing the ball. A game which neither side deserved to win. But Utd did so fair F’s to them for being slightly less S, and slightly more clinical, on the day. Albeit with a massive hand from the officials.
Let’s take this in stages.
It was bizarre in town before the game when we had no confidence with Alisson and Isak out. And every Utd fan you listened to and spoke to had no confidence in their own team who have been getting away with massive amounts of luck and playing really poorly under Carrick. Which was on display again yesterday. A microcosm of just how utterly S both clubs have been this season when neither set of support had any confidence of winning the game!
As a related side note, the massive difference in how busy Manny always is when Utd are playing, to when City are at home, is seismic. The pubs and restaurant's were bursting yesterday. Not so much against City the other week. Like L’pool, Manchester always has been, and always will be, vast majority Red.
Massive kudos to Utd fans for joining in with another highly vocal protest against ticket hikes that affects EVERYONE, outside before the game. Their continued support, like the vast majority of clubs across the league, is greatly appreciated.
Unity is STRENGTH!
And a good number of them joined in clapping on 20 for Diogo which was heartening too. The less said about the absolute gobS on the tram after trying to say Diogo killed his own brother the better. Some people are just horrible, low life C.
They need to sort out the flags though. It’s been hillarious since the Europa tie there the pitiful flag sections in the corner. To be greeted with the ‘Stretford Kop’ was beyond funny and got the response it deserved with ‘What the F H ell is THAT?!!!!!’ Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery I guess.
As for the actual game, L’pool were absolutely abysmal first half. Beggers belief how you can start so slow and gift them two goals early like that. But that’s just symptomatic of the season and continually leaves you on the back foot chasing the game. Said it numerous times but the club needs to make sure the manager brings his family over if they are to fully commit to him for a third year as has always seemed likely. It was utterly mad how they agreed to that and him living out of a hotel when they appointed him. Him going home every week, and the players slacking off in training when the boss isn’t there/ getting breaks themselves, is helping nobody.
Second half was markedly improved in terms of intensity and attacking intent. Which they pretty much dominated throughout as much as they passively surrounded the first half ….. without much actual creativity in the box where it mattered. And then you’ve VAR and more P poor officiating playing its part in allowing the joke Sesko goal. And not walking Fernandes for a stone wall red card. All relative in the context of the result.
All in all a really poor quality Utd- L’pool game where they were just a little bit more clinical, and more lucky with the big decisions, than we were. You do wonder what yesterday would have been like with a less injured Liverpool? An Ekitike running at them. An Isak giving the focal point in attack we never had. An Alisson distributing better and not flying out like Woodman madly did to gift them the second that should never have stood.
Disappointing not to get a point in context to how on top we were second half. Always disappointing to lose to them regardless. A draw would have been about the right result. But when both teams are as bad as they currently are, fine margins dictate and we have been on the wrong side of those on way too many occasions this season. 18 defeats speaks for itself. Regardless of all the mitigating factors that nobody wants to discuss on-line but what will keep the manager in a job when those above him factor context in. We showed the bottle and fight second half we never did last time out in Manchester. That shows the players are still with the manager. But it still wasn’t enough. The cutting edge. The intensity from the get-go, the whole nine yards. That won’t happen until all the players are back fit together. But still, it wasn’t good enough yesterday like so many other times this season.
And just to highlight how utterly garbage this league is this season, and how lacking in quality most every team boringly is, Utd are now qualified for the CL. And L’pool are all but with both sat in third and fourth.
The worst ever PL season can not end quickly enough.
Up the Reds!

Must be a bit of a worry Isaks injuries. Seems to miss games/days fairly regularly every season. Add to that Ekitike out for a good while. And likely won’t be fully fit for next season. Could be a bad start for next season if both don’t hit the ground running.
Liverpools midfield and defence would be a huge worry for me going into next season. And replacing Salah will be huge. Unless Slot thinks he has his replacement already in house?
