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

Just seen Salah's through ball for the goal. A thing of absolute beauty.
I am a Blue honestly, but credit where its due.

No.
Just no.

Apropos of nothing in particular, I stumbled on a Scottish comedy show called Only an Excuse last night on BBC Scotland, and the impressions of Klopp, Rogers and Dalglish are hilarious. Just checked and it's on iplayer if anyone wants a good laugh.

which one mate, there's loads

 

[hirons11]

But he won't

Your mission this season Agent Pickford……

 

[Magus]

which one mate, there's loads

Actually, I think it might not be on there yet as I watched last night, so its probably not been put up yet, but it's worth a look in the next week or so. Mostly impressions of famous Scottish footballers and managers, but the Liverpool ones are a bonus.

If Salah gets injured, then Liverpool will suffer

The only injury he’ll be getting this season is the fake one to rule him out of the AFCON which will have miraculously healed in the period between the squad announcement and Liverpool’s next game.

Today, I have mostly hated Watford FC.

I just don't understand how referees can justify allowing Liverpool's third goal to stand. Salah is clearly offside and forces the defender to attempt to cut it out. He also still tries to attack the ball so he is clearly interfering with play. Just utterly dreadful officiating but it's them so who is surprised.

It needs to be changed that rule. There was another similar recently, can’t remember the game, where a defender tried to cut out a pass and touched the ball meaning the offside attacking player was deemed onside. It’s nonsense given that if the defending player knew the attacker was offside just leave it, but how would they know and why risk it especially if marginal

I'm willing to bet that if it were Everton, then the goal would be disallowed

Oh absolutely

 

[mightymoyes]

Chelsea slam the door shut.

Liverpool need desperately to get a big lead in the PL before their luck runs out with Salah and the small squad is overwhelmed after the new year.

Chelsea rode their luck as much as any team I've seen today, they won't be challenging for the title on that showing

 

[Dad watched Dixie]

Oh absolutely

I remember Southall being penalised for holding the ball less than 1 second too long in a cup tie against Forest in the late 1980's. They scored from the subsequent free kick and that knocked us out. We never get the 'luck' - never have, never will !!

Well I had a super pre-birthday family lunch today , so seeing that result afterwards was annoying. What surprises me most about this thread though is the number of people who watch them , I wouldn’t have bothered today and rarely do . Why watch them every time they’re on Tv ? Ignoring them as much as I can works fine for me, I just don’t understand why people have any interest in them , then complain about the match if they win.

 

[helpimonfire]

Have they won the league yet?

 

[Runub]

Have they won the league yet?

According to the expert pundits yes but according to the league table no
