ECHO Comment: "Fears of Witch-hunt Against Liverpool FC" part 3

[Saint Domingo]

I wonder will that tosser Chris Sutton mention it on his radio show diving segment?

Doubt it

It’s effectively setting a precedent that any contact whatsoever in the penalty area is now a penalty, and by extension any contact anywhere else is a foul. If a defender touches an attacker at a corner - penalty. If two players jostle for a ball going out of play - penalty. The fact it didn’t even go to VAR is disgraceful.

It’s a strange affliction their fan base have. I’ve seen quite a few of their fans reacting really badly to the fact that Gundogan scored against them. He’s a completely inoffensive player so the only reasoning can be that they’d started to get annoyed that his good form was garnering media attention. I’ve never particularly cared who scored against us as my overriding thought at any point is ‘ffs Everton’. Their immediate reaction is ‘even worse that it’s Gundogan’. It’s for the same reason they have an irrational hatred of Harry Kane even though he’s generally rubbish against them. They just don’t want any other player or team taking up media limelight and attention. They feed off it more than actually winning games. That’s why you have all this nonsense about Thiago’s idea balls, and their desperate attempts to disparage Richy for a while and now James this season. They just can’t stand the media praising anyone else but them.

In short they are narcissists.

The BBC is essentially LFC led - "man city put 4 past Reds at Anfield"

I mean do they refer to us as "toffees" or Utd "Devils" in their articles?

Absolutely scandalous.

BT Sport have been pumping ‘poetry in motion’ and ‘Allez allez Allez’ out as the fan noise for some of their games recently not even involving Liverpool.

Love opposing fans taking the p out of the idea balls

We won’t win, don’t start even thinking it

No reason why we can't. We are neck and neck with them, they've lost their last 3 home games. They play Leicester next, then CL.

We need to go there thinking we have a chance to put them below us and push on - at the very least it is a great chance to get a win there on their worst run in a long time.

Bought two centrebacks, played two midfielders in defence. What was the point of buying them?

I'm starting to think it's so he can keep recycling the VVD injury is the reason they are so bad. He's fortunate the majority of the media won't pull him up on it.

It'll be interesting to see how long until "The Championship's Hottest Prospect" starts a game.

I watched a German league game the other night on BT. The tackling was just part of the game, many a time what I now expect to be given as a foul was just ignored or waved on. We have ruined the game in the U.K. and I blame our referees and commentators.......

I shouldn't do it but can't help myself by always asking "would we have got that?" lol

 

[mahermi1]

Wasn't even referenced by Tyler at the time either.

Its because it's just so normal now, he dives almost every week, Carragher is a disgrace not to mention it the way he mentions Richarlison every time we play.

Haha. Wonder how close souness was to unleashing a racist tirade against Micah? We all know he's got it in him.

Souness is an absolute tosspot of the highest.ive got an uncle who is a red.Hes never drove rode a bike to and from work all his life. A very timid shy person whos had mental health issues and anxiety problems.Years ago he was doing work in west derby sandfield park. Said he seen souness a few times on his way home with his dogs but never had the bottle to ask for autograph.on the day before the job finished he came to my nans and was a bit shaken. He seen souness and knowing my uncle it would have taken him every bit of bottle he had to stop the bike and ask for an autograph. Souness walked toward him opened the front gate and his reply was to put it mildly effoff you effin bstard before i set the dogs on you.

I hope we go to Anfield and beat them but I just know we are going to mess it up. However if we do turn up I actually think we have a better side man for man at the minute so there is a small bit of belief there.

If the fa hadn't helped them by sticking the city game three days before I'd be very confident, but hey ho special dispensation strikes again.
