GWT: EPL - Matchweek 25 (ft. MW 15)

[spintheblackcircle]

I’m not sure whether to expect this game to be an absolute clown show between this stuff and the injuries (and United being United) or if this’ll be the magic three times a year showing where the team actually steps up.

It won't be a classic. One of three things will happen:

1)Spurs are Spursy and ManU win
2)ManU doesn't show up and Spurs win
3)Both teams make numerous errors and it's a draw

Either way, the game may have a laugh track

Liverpool starting what I feel is their strongest front three in Salah-Jota-Diaz and get rewarded inside 15 min, when Luisito Diaz uses his speed and with a bit of luck puts them ahead on a broken play.

Diogo being back enabled this (but he still doesn’t look right). Slot does not trust Darwin so Diaz has had to play striker. Diaz did about as well as he could have but he’s much better on the left. Diaz and Gakpo have a very obvious platoon on the left where each fit a certain type of game better, but they are going to have to get a striker in the summer. They would have sold Darwin in January if the had a ready replacement coming in

Massive dive, but VAR is never overturning it since there was contact.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Yeah that’s soft and I didn’t think he’d even get to the ball.

 

[hatterson]

Referee has been atrocious overall today.

Way too focused on being the big boss and yelling at people than getting the calls right.

By massive dive you mean Cunha's right?

 

[luiginb]

I have a feeling Agbadou doesn't finish the game on the pitch, either subbed off or red carded.

Guedes and Sarabia looked like a couple of has beens that first half.

 

[Savant]

The only remarkable ref this is I think that Konate got the Declan rice ball kick yellow. That was kind of funny.

LFC best path to the league at this point is (still) cleaning up points at Anfield. The away fixtures are very hard, but if they can pick up 2-3 wins the math is probably good enough. Although it might not look that way by March because the schedule is unbalanced. Since they’ve dropped at goodison, they may need to pick up a tough away win else where, but I suspect if they win all their homes games they’ll find enough on the road

 

[Jersey Fresh]

Disgusting Jota dive there.

 

[Sad People]

How is that a penalty? Good grief.

How is diving not deserving of a card in this sport with how bad it is?

 

[Savant]

Right call to overturn that PK

 

[Savant]

That’s a peach from Cunha. LFC subs have made them worse (again). Not having Jones here is a problem

 

[luiginb]

It was coming, Liverpool have been playing scared this second half, and now have to hold on.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Vicario and Maddison back starting tonight. Odobert, Udogie, Johnson also back, but on the bench.

 

[luiginb]

MacAllister with his worst game I've seen of his

 

[maclean]

What a waste of a free kick..

 

[robertmac43]

Cunha is a man on a mission.

 

[bluesfan94]

PGMOL carrying Liverpool across the line once again.

PGMOL carrying Liverpool across the line once again.

Hahaha! Keep crying over PGMOL.

 

[Savant]

Ignoring the obvious defensive issues in January is going to doom this LFC.

 

[JeffreyLFC]

That being said, unacceptable game from LFC. They won but their performance the past two games have been attrocious. Wolves clogged the midfield in the 2nd half and LFC could not do anything about it. They have to go back to the drawing board otherwise other teams will know the template to beat them.

 

[robertmac43]

Bend but don't break i guess. Liverpool were bad and they still come away with 3 points....

 

[bluesfan94]

Hahaha! Keep crying over PGMOL.

Like 75% of this thread is Liverpool fans complaining about the refs in a game the refs helped them.

I think the consensus is LFC had it bad midweek and had it better today.
