Indeed it could go either way. I enjoyed his use of "ad hominem" which made me think he might not be completely brain dead but then you're/your reared its ugly head.

Very encouraged by last night's performance. Frank's arrival has re-energised my love for the club after last year's misery fest.

Yep, they always say that.  And then they go  googling some details about Chelsea from years ago, and get too over-complicated and then we all have a jolly good laugh at how silly they are, before they get aggressive enough to get banned or stupid enough to get banned.

You’re evidently still worked up over last nights game. 

Go and have a lay down and cool off. It’s only a game, fella, relax.

I understand that he’s still raw I just feel he lacks the quality to lead the line four a top 4 club. I fear we’ll miss out on CL relaying on him as the main source of goals. Our defence is a shambles so getting the goals is going to be even more important this season.

I was also very encouraged and excited, Liam - and it's good to see you back with your attempts at wit  - I,  for one, have missed them.

Unfortunately, you'll not be able to attend the proposed piss-up, seeing as how the Brectums are going to install watch-towers and machine guns on the border and anti-aircraft balloons all along the coastline of New Albion (currently called Carmarthenshire).  Still, demonocracy,  eh?

I never judge a player so early into the season, he will come good once he believes in himself. The defence will settle down. Zouma looks strangely nervous, but that will pass and with Kante playing in the correct place they will get a bit more protection.

We could always have the piss up here in Dublin, in what is called "Europe". At that stage your pound sterling should be worth about 50 cent. 

 
Change of subject: the overall standard of refereeing last night, was very good,going on excellent, better i thought, than what we've become accustomed to in the Premier League.

On a few occasions, the ref was conned by Liverpool players diving (e.g. Alexander Arnold in the penalty area, throwing himself over one of our forwards, clutching his face as if he'd been whacked with a baseball bat, "earning" a free kick and breaking up one of our more promising attacks), but I can't hold that against them. This is down to the gamesmanship/dishonesty/prevalence of cheating bastards that is all too common in the modern game.

To misquote The Monks: "Nice legs shame about the...

...decisions to disallow both Pulisic and Mason Mount's "goals"... even if both decisions were (whisper it) probably correct. Ish.

Sorry, couldn't resist it!

If the referee team weren't female, we likely wouldn't even be talking about them.  Which is the highest compliment you can pay a referee team.

I so enjoyed watching us play yesterday, I went home and watched the game again.

Whilst that would be very appealing, I am assured daily by our upright and totally altruistic politicians that any stout Englishman attempting to cross the border into what you might refer to as a "europe" but which all right-minded people know to be the un-democratic, fish-stealing, banana-straightening empire of Beelzebub, which robbed us of our virgins and innocents in its "Kavos" and "Ibiza", would instantly and irrevocably turn into a hissing and steaming puddle of red-faced bigotry and irrational gibbering about blue passports, which Delors will then fashion into his infamous anti-Thatcher "camembert".  And then where would we be?  Up sh*t creek without a groat or farthing, that's where.  

 
It says “If goalkeepers leave their line before the penalty is taken, it will only be ordered to be retaken if there is a “blatant and clear violation of the new law”.

But for Kepa pool would have been out of sight. The difference in quality between the two sides was like night and day. Not one of our team would get in their first XI. Maybe N’Golo but Fabinho suits Klopp’s philosophy more.

I understand you’re frustration at the result but they’re European champions for a reason.

Yeah they played Spurs, the best bottle jobs of Europe lol.

Bottom line is VAR helped Liverpool and hindered us. Without VAR it is highly likely Pulisic's goal stands (it was super marginal even with VAR) and a good chance so does Mounts and we win in regular time.

Not saying the calls were for sure incorrect at all but without the presence of VAR we win the game imo.
