Son was sent off after the Gomes leg break but that red was rescinded after the match..
That was pre VAR though..

From here to there
Crazy how Leeds are still getting in behind even though they're a man down.
Been saying it all season. This Liverpool side are more open than they've been for a long time. Very good sides will score goals against them. They've largely played sides you'd expect them to beat. A bit like we have to be fair.

The amount of heavylifting Salah does for this attack is mad. Bobby NoGoals has always been trash, and Mane hasn’t shown up in about 20 months now.

Just made a comment on this, all sides bar City are fairly open this season, Chelsea we’re cut open yesterday many times. It’s what makes City favourites most years.

If this was against us we’d all be saying how we’ve been torn apart multiple times, was the same with Chelsea yesterday, Villa went through them so easily. All teams bar City (not seen any of their games this season) seem to have the same issue as us.
Totally agree with this.

Liverpool have been very easy to rip through today. Leeds have simply lacked composure. Much the same as Villa yesterday.

I really hope Leeds go back down.
They'll probably be top half. We just have to stop thinking there's any chance they'll take points off our rivals.

We can't talk though, they were utterly shocking against us. We just have to be glad Leeds have somehow kept this to 2 goals, having been annihilated for long periods and been down to 10 for 30mins!

Leeds will be fine. They'll win plenty of games against the bottom half teams.

Is Elliot that fella that was on video making fun of Kane and disabled people? Perhaps he can spend his time on the sideline to educate himself.

Considering the way they started and the red card, 2-0 is decent for Leeds..

Surely you can understand why they wouldn’t send Klopp off though, given the circumstances.
Today sure. My issue is more with the fact that I've never seen him sent off before.

This week was understandable. Every other week he's doing the same shit about a questionable offside or a wrongly given corner.

Leeds fans still cheering everything like they are 5-0 up. It's absolutely tiny club mentality and behaviour.

Genuine question, as I can't remember anything that happened before the international break, but how did Chelsea do in their draw? They've been smacking them in of late but only managed one against the scouse.

This Liverpool team have problems. Defence is looking pretty good again, not great, but solid.

Midfield lack options with energy though and Mane and Firmino look like shadows of the players they were, while Jota is widely inconsistent and doesn’t seem to gel well with Salah.

They are still a good team, no hyperbole, but they have some quite serious issues.

Probably a bit of shock. When I snapped my leg back in 2001 I didn’t feel it at the time. I even tried to stand and walk on it. It was then that I realised what had happened.
Alonso did the same when that cvnt Lampard broke his. Even stamped on it to walk it off.

How long will Mane and Salah be gone for the Afcon?

They'll miss Salah..

Not the most savoury young man in football, yeah.

I'm struggling to feel as confident as you are, having seen them stroll an away win out, but having missed about 20 chances on top.

Mane of old would have had at least a hattrick by now. The number of good opportunities he's scuffed today is mad.

The only challenge theyve faced is Chelsea, and they were giving them all kinds of problem up until the red card.

Struijk won the ball, it was good challenge, they were running alongside each other, Elliot had the ball, and Struijk managed to trap the ball and win possession. His trailing leg pinned Elliot's foot down. It was a freak accident.

Never a red card or sending off. Wasn't even a foul.

True, I did mine as a kid, I didn’t think it was that bad at the time but it was.

Anyone else think that wasnt a red?
Me, Liam Cooper done a similar challenge on Mane a few minutes after and the ref played on and Leeds should have scored.
The ref wasn’t even going to give a free kick for the challenge, only reason he got a red was because Elliott got injured
