Liverpool v Wolves match thread

[Mark79]

I’m not pretending anything.

Lemina makes the foul.

[Kenneth]

Not a whoosh, an acknowledgment that we’re pretending Fabinho just had no other choice.

[Mark79]

Whoosh?

[Kenneth]

I don’t where Fabinho is supposed to go? Lemina flies in studs up and misses the ball. Fab does nothing more than ride the contact.

Fab gets booked by virtue of Lemina coming off worse (or at least making it appear so) from his own foul.

If that was the case, wouldn't it have been a red - dangerous foul play?

If it wasn’t for the speed of the tackle by the wolves player, I think it could have been, yes.

You can make arguments about him defending himself from a rash challenge etc, but knowing they player, that’s not accidental contact.

Warnock is being a right cunt on commentary- did LFCTV not renew his contract?

Yes he was an absolute cnt

Going to be an unpopular opinion but fab deserves the yellow. That angle doesn’t show fab’s motion going into it at all. He saw the guy coming, positioned himself and landed exactly what he intended to land.

It was a tap in that he slapped in with his cock FFS.

All he can score is bloody tap ins at the moment. Lets not get too excited.

His overall play is still dog****. He's definitely lost a yard of pace IMO. He cant go past players at all now.

Who cares if he goes and gets goals and/or assists on a regular basis between now and the end of the season.

He is an attacking player and he is getting end product. Good enough for now.

I'll criticise him and other players when they are being poor in their overall play whilst also failing to do the basics for their role in the team. He is doing the basics for his role and those goals and assists are making a difference to our season.

He is nowhere near his best by his standards this season, but has been far from the worst performer and way down the list if picking out players who have been the biggest let downs.

Anyway we won last night, have three wins and a draw in our last four league games so am chosing to see the positives of our little run of form rather than seeing the issues with the team that we can all see but also all know nothing can be done about until the summer.

Thought Bajcetic was also rather harshly booked after his first foul very early in the game, but echo what others have said about Trent, Fab, Mo and VVD. I was particularly pleased with Trent, thought he looked energetic. Konate was also a big, big plus. We should try for a proper defender really this summer.

I couldn't post last night as I was casting the game from my phone to the TV. I only managed to catch some of the second half as I fell asleep after sorting the kids out lol.

In the short time I watched us I thought we played well, better pressing and quicker, incisive passing. We could still improve but it was much better.

Any else notice how gutted Tierrney was for Liverpools 1st goal, pretty sure he shrugged his shoulders at the Wolves players; as muxh to say sorry i haven't got an excuse to not give that one.

Hate the ****

[SB]

Fab, Mo, Trent and Virgil were good. The best thing about last night was the control of the game. Still not at our best, but the hairy moments were far and few.

Step by step we are getting closer. You can see our play and passing is coming round. We are harder to beat again, now we need to build confidence to regain our fluency. Each positive result helps. I’m not even looking at the league table too much now, but I know that if we beat United, we’re 7 points behind them. What, they’ve been flying?

Don’t forget Timmy
