BEEN listening to a lot of modern-day hymns today.
My mental state in relation to this league title is basically this track by Kevin Morby.
Oh my Lord, come carry me home,
Oh my Lord, come carry me home,
Oh my God,
Oh my Lord,
Oh my God,
Gotten to weak for this heavy load,
Gotten to weak for this heavy load,
Oh my Lord,
Oh my God,
Oh my God,
Carry a glad song wherever I go,
Carry a glad song wherever I go,
Singing oh my Lord,
Oh my God…
I mean, when I seen the team, Dan Sturridge is starting. He fucking loves God. I’m taking it as a sign. I mean, Allah has been doing most of the heavy lifting for The Reds so far this season, it’s about time Auld Goddo fucking pulled his finger out, aye?
I’m not saying this game has got to me or anything, mind you. But then we were trying to sort somewhere to watch the match, and Neil Atkinson was the lead scout, and his head had gone trying to find a boozer, and town was Bedlam, and I just text him this:
I mean, fucking hell. What are you supposed to do?
Alisson: 8
Made about 20 saves, all of them dead easy but should have been dead hard. What a fella.
Trent: 8
Hahaha boss handball, that. Just a strong arm that, referee. Love the way he should have been sent off and spewed it, and set up two for a laugh. Boss all night long.
Virgil: 8
Belter movement for his goal. Had to deal with playing next to a nonsense. Boxes the ball in for the last by telling Trent to swerve it. Defended really well. What a hero.
Lovren: 5
Was dogshite. Like one that you have stood in, not realised and bounced straight up the stairs to the bog, gone into your bedroom, closed the curtains in your son’s room, gone the kitchen, checked you had turned the telly off in the living room, maybe checked the fridge and left a trail like fucking Hansel and Gretel of Degsi Lovren’s dogshite all over the house. Clean it? Nah fuck that, burn the fucker down and start again.
Starts the rot with a mental pass to Alisson, got legged by Rondon all day long, was worried that we had only one centre half on for the last 10 minutes and then realised that the alternative was two with Lovren being one of them.
Andy Robbo: 9
Was absolutely tremendous. Tremendous. Back to his absolute best. Everywhere. First to everything. He needed more like him all over the pitch but then we won so he didn’t really.
Henderson: 6
Thought he struggled tonight. A bit sloppy on the ball, a bit leggy, a bit… Y’know. Kept fucking going though, didn’t he?
Fabinho: 6
The one where he twatted it out when The Reds were crying out to keep it was desperate. Was good-ish first half, tired second, but still there knocking about and is a well better centre half than Lovren.
Gini: 7
Gini, la. Like a ghost on Mario Kart. Floated round the pitch, done bits, was goosed from legging it all over the Nou Camp.
Mo Salah: 8
The finish for the second is absolutely first class. Running backwards, wrong foot, absolute Robbie Fowler slot. Very nearly got killed trying to get onto the end of a Degsi Hail Mary. Apparently he isn’t dead. Which is absolutely the second best news we have had tonight.
Sadio: 7
Should score the one in the first when Mo puts him in. Could do with him scoring from every shot he has again, which was boss while it lasted, in fairness.
Dan Sturridge: 7
It’s like an experiment at this point. Let’s play a fella who can’t run in a side that does nothing but. A juxtaposition squared. Plays some great through balls first half, but for the love of God, he has got to score that one, doesn’t he?
SUBS
Milner: 8
Come on to calm every fucker down and whacked two bellends within one move and could conceivably have been sent off for two yellows and one foul.
Shaq: 7
Come on, couldn’t get on the ball. Couldn’t get on the ball. Started robbing freekicks off everyone else like it was literally his ball, and then sets up the winner. Scenes.
Big Div: 9
Scored the winner there, didn’t he? If The Reds win the league this season we should be naming stands after him. Fucking statues.

Hate watching it on sky with Martin Tyler’s “ Liverpool to drop points” shite. Head done in all day with blueshite hoping we cave. We don’t. Alive till the last day. Fuck the media narrative. Fuck blueshite. Sturridge like a competition winner. Should have a Tesco best before sticker on his head. Best before 2015
@Tony Yeah I really don’t like Tyler or that other dickhead, Arlo either.
They’re either fawning all over City, United or Spurs, and always a comment from a negative standpoint even when we score brilliantly or play well.
Remind me of the English commentators on the National Team who always come unstuck when it matters most. Entitled and arrogant as well.
Can’t believe you didn’t give Big Div 10 for the goal against the Ev
Lovren dogshite haaaaaaaaa – not constructive but laughing my tits off – fuckn bladdered and took me ten minutes to write this. Was shite like
Can’t understand the positivity around Sturridge. I thought he was shite, frankly. I know why people love the guy, and he’ll go this summer with our best wishes and gratitude for the good times, but I just can’t see how he’s anywhere near this anymore. Can’t run, offers zero without the ball or in a battle.
This team is a bunch of hungry animals, even when the chips are down, and he sticks out like a sore thumb to me.
You’d think the sole reason he’s picked over Origi is being able to bury a chance if it comes his way. Well, he got one, he didn’t and big Divi did.
Backheel for the 2nd?
His game management in the dying the minutes of the game was crucial.
@Si Rubbish and clueless as usual.
Sturridge has experience and his injuries let him down along with his confidence. It’s hard to come back from that as you age in this era of modern football.
I wish he had played in the CL semi-final towards the end along with Shaq instead of an unfit Firmino. We may not have won, but if anything, maybe Firmino would not be out now with aggravated injury.
Anyways, do you remember Djimi Traore? He won the Champions League in 2005 along with a rag-tag bunch who went up against AC Milan one the best teams at the time. That guy was written off twice, including the FA Cup against West Ham. He won that as well.
On Tuesday it will most likely be a rag-tag bunch of Shaq, Sturridge, Milner, Henderson, Ox, fighting against a football Genius and his merry men.
Whatever happens I want the best game they can muster, with Klopp to out-think Valverde this time round to get us through to the final.
Great through ball in the first. Great back heel for our 2nd. Great positioning for the one he missed. He had his moments. He still has ability.
Lovren? Simply terrible. Has been whenever he’s put on the shirt this season TBH. Or is it just me?
@DP yeah Lovren is a liability, has been for a while. Being out of the game for long periods has helped this LFC team to focus on their defensive work and improvement.
He along with some other players need to be replaced in the summer.
Best description of degsie ever
I concur. The man is a liability
Liverpool hanging in there. Not all players playing well. Some of ours are still too entitled… Lovren and Sturridge. Lovren plays like a brat who thinks he’s far better than the bench…. and never proves it. I’d ship him on to s mid table team. The rest are good eggs even if not all are great quality. Could do it with some luck
@John Stefan They are tired or returning from injury or haven’t played together for some time now.
Give them all the benefit of the doubt, though for Lovren remains a liability with his decision-making similar to Moreno.
Sturridge might seem entitled, but I’d have him in my team when we’re desperate for a difficult win on Tuesday.
Priceless!!
