Happy with the draw - they really don't like it up them do they?

They're so used to getting every decision their way and that's why the outrage.

VVD is a marvellous player but I hope he's out for as long as Gomes was for us.

Richie's tackle was just full-blooded and should have been a yellow; Robertson's snide kick at Allan as the ball was nowhere should have been at least a yellow too.
 
- Remember when McAllister moved the ball forward by around 20-feet and scored a freekick at the death.
- Remember when Westerveld kicked the ball at Hutchison's head and it rebounded into his goal.
- Remember when Gerrard stuck both feet into Naysmith's abdomen as he lay on the floor.
- Remember when Sloth did a fly-kick on Phil Neville.
- Remember when Rodwell was red carded for a legitimate challenge on Suarez.

Finally, these rats have had to take a bite of the derby day túrd sandwich.
 

Meanwhile over on rawk

Keane was exceptional again, kept his composure throughout when his partner was losing his. Chipped in with a goal too, brilliant stuff.

As for the game, blessed to get a point,let's not deny that. They are a damn good side but battled for a point.

For how long have some of the critics of today's game been watching us?
Your last sentence sums us up beautifully. 2019 BC (before Carlo) would have seen us dry bummed. We've got fight in us now, a bit of class elevating us above Joe's Dogs of War. A week together to get us back on stream will see us back with a vengeance. When the European club games start up again, that'll favour us too.
 
Mental game

Pickford - right, his overall performance from whenever he makes that save from TAA's free-kick up until the Henderson goal was probably a 9. He was ridiculously good. Best game he's had for us in ages. But he bookended it with two of the most baffling howlers going. So I actually can't give him a rating.

Coleman - 6 - Unlucky for the Robertson deflection for the first goal, and that injury was always gonna be a risk.
Mina - 7 - Keown chatting crap for Salah's goal. Awkward for Mina to deal with and that finish from Salah was world class. Overall he did well.
Keane - 8 - He was excellent and a great header for the goal.
Digne - 8 - What a ball.

Allan - 7 - Thought first half he was poor but excellent in the second half.
Doucoure - 6 - Couldn't really get into it and not composed on the ball. Liverpool overran us a bit with Thiago in there.
Gomes - 5 - Saw loads of the ball but his passing was really poor.

James - 7 - Did hold onto the ball a bit too long but he created the chance for Digne to cross and what a delivery for Keane's header.
DCL - 7 - What a goal, and his hold up play was excellent when we got the ball to him. Should really have had two.
Rich - 5 - Off day for him, should do better with the header and that red cost us. Also why we should have got another player in.

Godfrey - 7 - Did well, caught a few times but really impressive in hard circumstances.
Iwobi - 6 - N/A
Gylfi - 6 - when he came on the pace of the game had to be upped, whereas if he'd have been on at 1-1 he'd have been able to get on the ball a bit more.
