So a city named after a German Monarch, they thought that was a name to go with.... okay.

I don't think it's a terrible name. The can name their stadium 'The Nest', have a hornet mascot, etc. And at least it has some historic meaning. I prefer it over Inter Miami (which club isn't international, come on).

Inter Miami as a name sucks. Not as bad as clubs in nation founded on Republicanism having Real in their name though.

If Liverpool wins vs Chelsea now, then the final round will be really exciting haha. (If Chelsea loses to both Liverpool and Wolves, then they get 5th place from a Leicester win or draw from the united vs leicester game. )

If Chelsea gets a point from today's game, they are certain to get top 4.

We need 1 point from the last 2 games we are more than fine.

Today we are getting the glimpse of why Liverpool won the league, when they get decisions given to them out of fkn no where which are completely unjust. On top of before that in a game where they were looking second best they score an absolute screamer lol.

Oh well 3-1 might be a game on if he takes Mount of for Pulisic but i think we should just shut up shop and play for Sunday as you aint getting anything from a ref on liverpool day.

2 pen appeals? VAR? both no where near?? what game you watching.

VAR can't get involved in freekicks or that would NEVER have been given, was a joke of a decision, ref even let it carry on until saw mane rolling on floor with his diving. Joke ref, they get all these shitty decisions this season.

VAR gets involved with freekicks that result in goals. So it was judged a foul

Var does not get involved with freekicks unless it is about inside box=pen or red card issue.
That freekick was not checked by VAR, rules don't allow it. And that was somewhere between an incredibly soft foul and a dive.

On the flipside, should have been a pen on Rüdiger earlier, not only did he make no attempt to play the ball, he actually actively moved away from it in order to foul Salah.

Yes so much a penalty no one but you says so after all the VAR officials looked at it and was laughed off by Jamie Carragher as pens the scouse lord himself on commentary so ok sure.

Such a joke, game should have been 3-3 after Puligod turned it around but instead we were still chasing it 4-3 down, fuck sake. Oh well its in our own hands, avoid defeat to Wolves at home on Sunday and its done.

Please cut the crap. Noone in their right mind would say this game was decided by ref decisions. If anything, the ref favored Chelsea.

Yea it's just nonsense. Liverpool had some fantastic goals. It was a really fun game. Almost looked like you were pulling back with Pulisic. But I mean blaming a 5-3 loss on a wrongly given/soft free kick prior to the 2-0 goal, that's just being a baby.. TAA still had to score.

Basically a) it wasn't even a wrongly allowed or disallowed goal / penalty and b) Liverpool won by 2 goals and c) arguably liverpool couldve shouldve had a penalty too. There are games where whining about the referee makes sense (even if it's still whiny), this wasn't one of them.

Yeah it was a pretty decent game overall. The only difference on the day was a couple of Worldy's. Chelsea werent and arent as bad as the scoreline suggested.

Also if theres one takeway from this run in for me thats a bit less obvious and a worry for Liverpool going forward, its that Gomez has a torrid time when TAA is pushed up and he gets pulled out of position. Sterling and now Pulisic have had their way with him. Lampard missed a trick there imo, even if I personally really like Giroud. And its not like they have stellar backup options either.

Lots to ponder and not much time to the new season.

Good on Liverpool though Icing, cake etc etc.

Sharkie I think I owe you a sig.

Football sucks this year, and it sucks today especially.

Its an endless source of disappointment and shame for me and my Nottingham brethren.

Fuck it all.

As a sidenote, it's the third season in a row where Liverpool went without losses on Anfield (in the league). Chelsea still has a very solid record there, though.

I like the fact that everyone in the PL, and outside of it expects VAR to be a shit show.

Considering missed chances I actually believe their defense is that bad... Also its something everyone says: why do they keep buying offensive players when they have a problem at the back?

Yay! Props to you for actually committing to the sig bet though! Others just said I was talking bollocks when I suggested city going to get weaker (no, I never expected them to become THIS much weaker but not like the two years before)
