he really didn't .. Are we really reaching at straws here? He knew he missed and never tried to celebrate at all
Are you blind? He clearly celebrates and then he turns around and sees that it was missed

Honestly looked like just disbelief and disappointed.. He clearly saw the shot missing
You're right. Ignore the rest - there are many reasons to laugh at liverpool, we don't have to "invent" one.

That's what I'm seeing as well, no doubt whatsoever. The people saying otherwise are clutching at every anti-Liverpool straw they can and even can't see or are just wumming. He clearly sees Lallana failing to hit the ball properly and drops down on his knees in disbelief.
Pretty sure anyone who plays football won't start to celebrate a goal before the ball is hit towards it. (except maybe for moments like Valencia's goal today)

Yeah well tbf i think he did celebrate a goal early this season against stoke or someone .. But in this case is the fact he is clearly watching Lalana miss them drops to his knees as if he can't believe he missed

Florida, man
I think @lsd is right. It kind of looks like he's celebrating but to me it seems he is also in disbelief. It's like he wanted to put his hands on his head and decided not to do it at the last minute.

If you look you can see right at the end he looks back and realises what happened, it's clear he celebrated way too early.

perhaps it's half & half - in that he can't stop himself from starting the knee slide but throws his arms up in disbelief that Lallana misses & then has to re-balance so as to avoid face-planting himself stupidly - which looks like celebration with the 2nd arm movement there.

so everybody's right really, shall we move on?

I think he's celebrating. How he thrusts his arms down and out as he slides just seems too triumphant. And the second glance over is when he shows disbelief.

EDIT: maybe , now I'm not sure :lol:

He was a beast today. Watching him bursting through the City midfield was just mesmerising. I really want to see more of this Emre Can, as he could prove to be a useful weapon for us. Also his tackling was so powerful today, he was just totally on it. Thought he was unlucky not to get man of the match to be honest.

If Can wasn't unfortunate to get injured just before the opening game against Arsenal I think all those games he would have had as our 6 since then would have allowed him to develop and we'd be talking about one of the better DM's around as his potential in this role is immense.

He has everything you need for the role and more. Drive from deep positions, moving with the ball, using his body to shield the ball under pressure. Last 4 games he had an assist vs Leicester, winning goal vs Burnley, "assist" for the penalty today where he opens up their defence with a lovely chip. He's flourishing on both sides of the ball and really deserves a run of games now to showcase his immense natural predisposition for this role.

If Klopp truly believes in meritocracy Can deserves to keep his place as our 6.
But it's not all pro-Can.. someone may get banned soon..

Soon to be banned Rawkite said:
He's way too slow on the ball when we play a deep defence, and he doesn't read the game quickly enough when defending a counter. There's absolutely no way he should be our number 6 next season, not even the back up.

Now they're above 6th... the obvious worry for Utd is that after this incredible achievement, will next season be a case of "after the lord mayors show". You get the impression some of these players will feel like they've achieved everything they dreamed of.
Liverpool's last 7 premier league finishes.

I see he's been making some sly digs at Van Gaal recently, the man who gave him his first proper coaching role in football when he was previously known merely as a translator with some bright ideas. All this after stabbing Van Gaal in the back last season by pursuing his job on the sly. Class act that man, total class act. Not content with stealing Van Gaal's job (and let's not forget the humiliating way he was sacked, right after winning the FA Cup) he is now out to damage his reputation too. Horrible, nasty man.

As for Utd, they're not finishing above us this season, or in the top 4. Their only hope of CL football next season is winning the Europa League, which they might well do because the quality is poor this year by the usual standards (though hopefully Roma can do something). It's only recently they drew with Hull and Bournemouth at home and came within a last minute Rooney free kick of losing to Stoke. They're not going on a winning run with that fixture list. Soton away, Spurs away, Arsenal away, City away, Chelsea? Don't worry about this lot. If we perform like we've shown we can do we'll finish comfortably in top 4.

So Jose chose to get LVG fired and drawing with Hull is somehow far worse and more embarrassing then losing to Hull.

Also, funny that they are still hoping and wishing an already eliminated side will stop us winning the Europa.

Thats so ugly jesus christ i'd hate to support liverpool.
But don't live in the past can't you see they are en route to winning the "we finished higher than United who are 6th cup" this season?

RAWK:
Facts are, this whole push by them to get a new stadium is rooted in their sheer horror when we built the new Main Stand.
Been trying to get a new stadium for years, but only when Liverpool get a new stand do Everton actually need to sort it out.

Reading some of the replies in response to Everton announcing their future stadium plans is amusing.

I didn't RAWK members were so au fait with financing, landowners and guarantors.

RAWK's summary... Everton have negotiated themselves a terrible deal, the stadium will never built and it's smaller than Anfield anyway so...

....we are Liverpool tra la la la.

Anyone would think they're a little perturbed by Everton's vision.
