Pre Match
I DON’T know about you but my bottle has gone, here.
Realised this morning that if The Reds want to win the league we probably need to win today and I now can’t function.
Couple this with me reading Bruce Grobbelaar’s interview the other day where he casually dropped into convo, almost as a side note, that The Reds won’t win the league if he doesn’t play, because a witch doctor put a jinx on us the last time we won the league.
Fuck’s sake Brucie, are you messing? Yer lads, didn’t I mention it? Fucking hell, you should have said.
All he needs to do is piss on every goal post, apparently. He did two of them in 2014 but someone stopped him doing the other two. Someone fucking stopped him. Fucking fuck me with a fucking big shovel.
Why isn’t there calls to get him pissing his cock off till the pitch is flooded? Make a massive big Brucie giant, get a squad of French fellas with ropes and a fucking stupid dog to bounce up the ground and box it off. Three fellas ring that Brucie bell, he whips his shorts down, three more fellas ring his bell, he gets his massive cock out shaped like a big giant bottle of Kopparberg, let’s rip all over the pitch, and The Reds romp to victory.
Full Time
Jesus Christ, that was stressful.
Alisson: 7
He’s boss, isn’t he? Fucking big Ronseal ‘keeper. Got “he will be boss” written all over him.
Joe Gomez: 8
Thought he was excellent and made a great player look shite. He’s bigger and stronger than everyone he comes up against and has got a head on him. Boss.
Degsy: 8
Like Ringo, isn’t he? The best drummer in the world but not even the best one in our defence. Or something. Two great tackles there second half.
Virg: 8
Imperious. Not sure if it was a pen or not but he didn’t deserve it. What a fella. Hope he knocks shit out of their battle bus. With a massive big Northy balaclava on.
Robbo: 8
Great defensively, couldn’t get going the other way, but in fairness they defended brilliantly so what do you want him to do?
Henderson: 8
Played well, there. Ticked it over, kept the ball, despite a ridiculous level of bellendery screaming at him to get it forward. They weren’t playing a team of scruffs, you know. They were defensively brilliant, their shape was boss, they done to us what we do to them.
Milner: n/a
Fucked.
Gini: 8
Thought he was excellent today.
Mo Salah: 7
He was good again without being at his best. A threat all day, but could do with someone to join in with the front three. Missing Oxo-Chambo, y’know.
Bob: 7
Grafted and made a nuisance of himself. Did nothing wrong in a massive game of chess.
Sadio: 6
Thought he struggled today y’know. Nearly boss, but his touch was off and his threat was missing as a result. That said, they were boss. Have I said how boss they were?
SUBS
Keita: 6
Feels like we need more off him, y’know. He’s the one who need to break the lines and he’s not quite there.
Dan Sturridge: 6
Nearly.

I’ve got to admit my head went when I saw Lovern in the starting lineup. I know he’s had a strong last 6/7 months and a great World Cup but Gomez has been superb alongside Van Dijk this season.
What was I worried about. I thought Lovern was immense today. Confident, composed, assured. So comforting to know we can change our centre half pairing against top quality opposition and there’s no drop off in performance.
To only suffer a loss away to Napoli at the death in our “nightmare run” has been a brilliant effort. Let’s see how our rivals cope with difficult fixtures to come.
Up the fucking Reds!!!
Lovren.os an accident Waiting to happen.
Plays like a kid no worldly wide experience. Shown up by younger players. Not up to it even by self proclaimed world’s best defender
Lovren was playing his way back in and did look quite composed. I thought that today our playing from the back wasn’t quite what it’s been with Gomez alongside VVD, and Gomez at right back in the first half wasn’t working for me.
He didn’t have a strong 6 or 7 months. He was awful on a regular basis throughout the second half of the season and at the world cup.
“Composed”
A good ref gives two pens against him because he was an idiot.
Eh mate, normally I’m a Lovren critic with his impetuous and flappable approach to defending, but give credit when it’s due George. Derek was a positive key factor yesterday, possibly more so than Virg. It was no we’re near a pen but he did get too close for comfort. As we saw Atkinson does last like his pen decisions out of Blue!
ta for the ratings.
think of it like this: if sturridge doesnt do that and mahrez doesn’t do that.
chel and city are on 22pts. and we are 4pts back,
so after a tough tough run of games, id take where we are in the context
of what actually happened.
nice games coming up for front 3 to get it together.
I’m fundamentally disturbed by your knowledge of Brucie’s cock. Fundamentally.
Chelsea away, city at home and not defeated – I’ll take that
We are a completely different team to previous years and now with a goalie who is actually immense we now look and feel the real deal. The trust we have now in Jurgen is paying dividends and we are now in a position to kick on. I think we will and grow stronger as the weeks go on as our new signings get used to our remit it will only get better !
Come on you Red Men !
Lost away to Chelsea & Spurs last season & beat City at home, two points better off from the same fixtures this season & we’ve not been out of second gear yet. Huddersfield & Cardiff to come after the international break – that’ll do for me.
Salah with a lovely first touch and Ederson out of position. In my mind, the movie played out in a flash. Was genuinely gobsmacked that reality didn’t conform.
