"You'll Never Walk Alone" - de Official Liverpool thread

Coutinho tief Sterling goal...

[Bitter]

All the questionable officiating calls so far have gone Man City's way.

[Bakes]

All the questionable officiating calls so far have gone Man City's way.

Every single call.  But Liverpool have themselves to blame for having not taken advantage of their opportunities... and for giving City too many.  Skrtel courting danger on every delivery into the box the way he holding and grabbing Kompany.

Should be 2-2 now.

[Bitter]

Two fantastic passes to carve liverpool open, and then the small mistake by mignolet punished.

[Bakes]

Dreadful officiating... Liverpool didn't make the most of their opportunities, Sterling and Johnson spurning clear chances in particular, but dreadful officiating by Lee Mason.  Kompany kept fouling Suarez time after time and wasn't called for a single foul.  Lescott had a clear hold of Suarez shirt in the box and nothing called.  In fairness he didn't call Skrtel for grabbing onto Kompany's shirt on the corners either... but arguably none of Skrtel's grabbing affected Kompany, he still did what he wanted.  But the fouling on Suarez prevented him from really getting into the game, brilliant by City, but poor by the ref to ignore it.  Then to card Moses and Suarez for plays where there was minimal contact?  Laughable.

[Tenorsaw]

Sterling gotta learn to finish, if he is to get to the next level.  That miss was unacceptable.  Though we took the game to City and probably deserved a point.  Wide open league...any of the top 5-6 teams chance to win

[Bakes]

I still prefer to lose this way than to play coward like Chelsea in hopes of stealing a point.

sneak in one yes

[Tenorsaw]

I want Chelsea to sit back on Sunday.  Let's see how that goes.

[Dansteel - The Iceman]

Hard luck Pool. Deserved a point today.

Agreed. I'm a City fan but have to agree

Lol... yeah that was a jab at mih boy Elan.  But I serious too... I rather we play positive, entertaining football.  We even forced City to switch tactics and protect de lead second half... and still shoulda score.  I'll take that.  City is the most dangerous team in the Prem outside of Liverpool right now and we went toe to toe with them at the Etihad.  Can't be too disappointed at that.

[Deeks]

Saw the game. Should have/could have been 2-2. Raheem missed a big one. Wide open for the top spot.

We will see come spring where the chips fall.

Great start for the neutral... Liverpool needs to do better than to concede possession (and the lead) that easily.  1-1 in the 23'

[Bakes]

Very poor by Liverpool.

[elan]

Good enough for ya Bakes. Did Chelsea play live up to your high standard.  Oh wait.......poor by Liverpool      

[Bakes]

Really disappointed by Liverpool's response to the challenges posed by the Christmas schedule.  No sort of character whatsoever.  Great start to both games, horrendous response in the follow up.  We just not ready... lacking depth and quality, particularly in midfield.  Injuries are taking their toll... but we just disorganized and get punished in back to back games after taking an early lead.  Nobody on the pitch to grab the team by the scruff of the neck and get them organized.  The Hazard goal was both lucky and spectacular, I could live with that.  To concede a soft ass goal on poor defending and keeping to Eto'o is unacceptable.

[Bakes]

Chelsea played shit and stole points last couple games... that is the consensus not my "high standard".  To their credit they came out and bossed the game in the first half before parking the bus in the second half.

Bakes you on some serious

Park what bus. You really don't understand this game fella. Meanwhile we have won 2 in a row and collected 4 points from 2 top teams whereas you have dropped 6 points from two top teams. Don't get into business.

Explain it to me then expert.  Chelsea took off Lampard and brought on Mikel at the half and fell back to midfield from the 50' minute.  Explain the attacking mentality behind for me... yuh know I's ah novice at these things.  The results are a separate discussion from the strategy, Chelsea winning by playing safe nothing wrong with that but doh act like you's de only man in the world who recognizing attacking genius when it not there.

[lefty]

d way d league going at d top chelsea will want to find goals and "try" to advantage some teams......goal difference could play a part ...........if somebody doh manage to pull away from d pack, that is.............. and man. city done have good cushion.

Quality play today Bakes, say what you want. Tempo of the game, rhythm of the game, possession of the game controlled by Chelsea. Even the useless commentators in the studio had to admit it. Suarez who you admit is in fine form could not find any space in the first half. That was when Lampard (who was subbed with a leg injury) was on the pitch. Barcelona no, but parking the bus far from it. We pressed Liverpool up the pitch and forced many mistakes which gave our defense much more time to  organize.

It was a very good game by Chelsea Bakes.

Arsenal could wake up all they want, Liverpool are the better side

[Bitter]

SaS = Skrtel and Sterling

[FF]

[asylumseeker]

Suarez ah sorry! That would have been a golaso bombaso. Liverpool is demonstrating a lot of attacking variation. Quickly at that. Arsenal done before dey start!
