Darwinning formula: Liverpool FC 2023/24

Did you know that 6"1 Szoboszlai has size 7 feet?

No...I thought mine were small at 9s (same height)

 

[liquidindian]

There is absolutely nothing wrong with a man having small feet, perhaps even smaller than his wife's, no this isn't a big deal, shut up.

 

[sleaterkinney]

Never a red.

 

[tommers]

Never a red.

Which one?

 

[Dandred]

 

[stavros]

Never a red.

The Jones one was borderline, as was the first Jota booking. The second yellow was daft in the extreme.

Absolutely scandalous VAR decision re the Diaz goal . I have seen the 'explanation' that the VAR thought the goal had been given ( despite the fact that they have six monitors and most people watching on a single TV screen could see a) it wasn't offside and b) that the goal hadn't been given) . What I haven't heard an explanation of is when they discovered this error and at what stage did they inform the referee.

 

[marshall]

Wasn't it at half-time? Sure Klopp mentioned it in his post-match interview.

 

[The39thStep]

Apparently, the two VAR's had refereed in the Saudi League on the Thursday night . Obviously a bit jet lagged for Saturday tea time

 

[marshall]

It's a major fuck up, no ifs or buts, wonder how far Liverpool can/will take it, in terms of 'exploring their options', or however it was worded. Nasty work whatever.

 

[chandlerp]

Not sure there is anything they can do.

 

[Maggot]

Anyone know anything about Union St Gilloise?

 

[chandlerp]

Yes. we beat them 2-0.

8 years of mad German, so here's the vest video ever made.

Any predictions for the derby? Two reds for us and one for the blue ******

 

[Steel Icarus]

That was a great performance against a decent Toulouse team. Some vital game time for some young 'uns and five goals scored. Gravenburch looks like a future star.

 

[HazeyCosmicJive]

Another disastrous weekend for VAR.
The Arteta after the Spurs/Liverpool debacle "these things happen in football", Arteta after Newcastle/Arsenal game "$%^&*""£$@~@#'".
VAR is not working as it should. The technology is not to blame it is the people using it.
The main problem is that every time they get it wrong it fails one club but benefits their opposition so there is always one loser and one winner. The supporters of all clubs need to band together and condemn this because it is just a matter of time before your club gets shafted. Except if you are Man City who never seem to get one against them.

 

[HazeyCosmicJive]

Back to football. Ughhh. Another promoted club disaster match. Hopefully brought us back down to earth and we can push on from here.

 

[Steel Icarus]

Great battling win today. And what a personal achievement by Mo Salah - 200th Liverpool goal which was also hos 150th in the Prem.

Top of the league, at least for a bit!

 

[Humberto]

Tough match for Arsenal you would think.

 

[Steel Icarus]

Tough match for Arsenal you would think.

Hope so

 

[HazeyCosmicJive]

Hope so

And so it was

Funny season this one. Not playing well at all but top of the league. Long way to go though.
United next up - lets hope we can go one better than last year

 

[HazeyCosmicJive]

Worst Liverpool - United match I have ever seen. EtH must be living on borrowed time.

Worst Liverpool - United match I have ever seen. EtH must be living on borrowed time.

Not great. As mentioned before I'm pretty new to following football but it felt like a game against a bottom-of-the-table team desperate not to concede a goal. Not what I would have expected a Man U game to be at all.

I think we're due Nunez to do something that will reset me back to "actually, maybe he is brilliant" before that gets worn away again over the next few games.

 

[chandlerp]

Difficult to score against a team that have absolutely no interest in doing so and only want to stop the other team scoring so they can get a draw. negative as fuck.

 

[Steel Icarus]

Terrific result last night, suddenly looking quite good for a trophy. Fulham are decent but I think over two legs we'll do it.

Our strength in depth is coming to the fore at the moment, lots of talk in the summer about us having no midfielders but Jones' development is right on course for him to be an exceptional player and Elliott is a real talent.

That was on the cards from the team announcement. Your second team is a bit better than our second team. Jones and Elliott are going to be great players.

 

[Steel Icarus]

Quansah looks the part, too. He'll be learning so much from VVD.

 

[steveo87]

I'm not saying we're gonna win the league, but fuck it...
