Do we want Liverpool or Everton to win here? On the one hand Everton could challenge us for top four, on the other hand it’s Liverpool. However, they’re more likely to finish around tenth/eleventh based on their squad and won’t challenge us in the league.
A Liverpool crisis is too good a chance to miss.

Unless there is a direct affect on us winning the league, we never ever ever want liverpool to win!!

If Everton can't get a win from 1-0 up against Kabak and Nat fecking Philips they should just forfeit these games in the future.

Schalkes whole team and especially their defense were terrible for the whole season but even in this team Kabak was often the weak link.

I was very surprised that Liverpool went for him.
He was signed based off of David Wagner's recommendation, it was a panic buy. Still a very strange one. From what I've seen Ben Davies that they signed the same day from Preston is the better and more experienced defender.

Maybe they are both terrible.
Phillips is decent enough, he could carve himself a decent career in the Championship. Has good defensive instincts.

Williams on the other hand is more like under 21 player, he would struggle at league 2 level. Worse he has no pace. No idea why Jürgen decided to play him so much.

What do people think of Andre Gomez, particularly those who've watched a lot of Everton? Tidy enough, with a bit of bite as we saw earlier, but I very rarely see him do anything remarkable whatsoever.

I can't for the life of me understand Liverpools obession with just hurling random crosses into the box this season ... It wasn't always this way was it?

It’s flying under the radar a little but Sadio Mane has been shite this season.

Andre Gomes is a bit of a snack isn’t he? I’m not saying I’d push back but I wouldn’t necessarily lean forward either.

Liverpool surely could have got somebody at cb on loan at the start of Jan or bought a decent one from championship (well a better one)
Seems very bizarre how they did this

They were both so quick to make a massive deal about it though. Especially Carragher. It's insane
I did too, because it was so fecking fast. I stood up and shouted fecking hell...what a save. Wasn't until the replay that I seen it was straight at him

I don’t watch them much. But whenever I have over the last few years that’s been when they were most dangerous.

That happens a lot with Alisson, doesn't it? I've noticed that since he came to Liverpool it's been the case.
Yeah a ridiculous amount. A lot of people clearly think through what commentators say about footballers as well because you see it repeated even on here. Part of the reason he's been so overrated. Everyone is stumped as soon as I ask them for an actual example of a fantastic save he's made. The one where he stuck his leg out in the CL is the best they can come up with. Apparently though this is because his positioning is so incredible he never has to. It's that good no one can shoot away from him from any angle on the pitch :lol:

Skint. Even a championship centreback of the required quality would cost a whack in January.

One thing I did like him saying was that Liverpool just took advantage of mistakes by Leipzig, that they didn't actually create much. Other pundits have been saying Liverpool would get a boost from the win etc. etc.

Their tactics were high press to cause an error and pounce or crosses from robertson and Trent (seemed to start from the jan point where they won the cl)

They did both of these things no?

Or have I missed a joke here?

On the basis I'm still hoping for Liverpool to get relegated.....

Everton to win.
