Uncharacteristic from Mane.
Premier League Gameweek 7
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Sheffield United unapologetically parking the bus and their fans are loving it
Come on Deano don't let them get pass you!
Mane
Come on Deano don't let them get pass you!
Mane
Oh feck off Mane.
Lazy finish.
Lazy finish.
Only a matter of time before Liverpool score.
This has got 14-0 to Liverpool written all over it
I know Liverpool and city are above others but I feel opponents sometimes give too much respect to them. I am not saying play open and give them spaces but the idea let us park the bus and frustrate them can backfire especially facing this quality.
Liverpool will win 6:0.
Premier LEague refs are a joke.
Clubs in Top 3 English leagues are more exciting.
Liverpool look disjointed and jumpy, they are not some Rolls Royce of a football team. Quit declaring them champions 8 months before the end of the season.
Sheffield United on very thin ice here.
Mane. 
The old Liverpool would've conceded by now.
It's called fear. Teams used to do the same with United back in the day. I do agree with the sentiment though. Sometimes it's absolutely embarrassing how teams play against them. Just roll over and wave the white flag.
How do you miss that
When did Firminho turn shit ?
They'll still win, play bad and win = hallmark of champions
Hope Mane keeps missing
Sheffield hanging on grimly right now.
Mane has had two put on a plate for him.
Hilarious miss by Liverpool
This is at least partly true, but the mentality aspect of the game is really hard to get past. It's not always that teams go in to these games with the plan to be sit deep, but due to what they know about their opponents and the fear factor, they'll often just find themselves playing on the back foot and being scared to play their usual game. Was often said that United used to beat teams before they even played them and I think that's true of both Liverpool and City, they're scary, scary sides to play and that intimidation factor only adds to that. Especially true at Anfield where basically every team shrinks against them.
When teams do try and play football or press, they can definitely have joy. Southampton had them pinned back for a good period in the first half this season, and then after they got one back as well. Problem is that even when you do manage to 'get at them', they have the ability to soak up that pressure and mercilessly punish teams at the other end.
Mane is not having a good day
What ? He made the correct decision to pass...
At least Salah is passing again
0-0 is a fair reflection of the half I feel.
Sheffield looked the most to score in the first 30 minutes before Liverpool took control. Good game either way.

Happy with that. Mousset to come on and get us back to back PL wins 
I agree with what you say but I feel as good as this Liverpool side is I have seen much better side in the past who have been challenged by other (even lower) teams. Yes there were days when united of old or chelsea of old would just trounce them but there were also days when United had to grind out and make late comebacks. I feel nowadays too much respect is given to the top teams.
I know I will be criticized by some Liverpool and rven United fans for saying this but this Liverpool side is not that good to get 97 points. And look I am not taking anything away from them, they are good, pretty good but they are also overrated by the opponents in many respects. Showing respect to your opponents is one thing but to just throw your white towel is other. Barca's second leg display was the best example, they literally just were looking to play the 90 mins and run away. Liverpool that day were hardly amazing but because Barca gave too much respect they lost it. I have seen a much inferior barca side in 2007-08 take the game to us when we needed a scholesy beauty to go through to the finals. If you have some quality and you take on them you might actually beat them. Chelsea showed it last week.
We should be a couple of goals to the good here, however Henderson is offering nothing, get one of Lallana and ox on, possibly Milner
I thought Wijnaldum was worse. Firmino isn’t offering much either.
Frustrating considering none of these players were involved midweek.
Shocking misses from Mane and sloppy play all over. This is the first time we have failed to score in the first half this season. Doesn't look good :/
Gini has been atrocious in front of goal but he’s essential for the balance otherwise we’ll be ripped through on the counter. Firmino hasn’t been great but he’s layed on a sitter for mane,
I thought Sheffield have been fairly brave and up for it. Some good chances going forward for them.
Just realised Liverpool are the only team left in the league with a 100% record.
Would be a shame if VVD got injured , innit..
Sheffield are dominating.
Klopp really didn’t look too concerned about Henderson being down again just then
Be a shame if Henderson's leg fell off... temporarily of course... 
Should be 1-0 Sheffield.
You and watching Liverpool games should be categorised as a form of self-harm.
You know the inevitable Salah/Mane goal is coming. Embrace it.
