A devastating and heavy loss for The Reds as they go 5-0 down away at Manchester City.
Neil Atkinson is back from holiday…
…and hasn’t seen a minute of the match. There is a story. But Paul Senior and Rob Gutmann talk him through it while playing Connect 4. It has everything you need to hopefully feel better about things. Hopefully…
Will youse take this seriously FFS! I can’t if you can’t. I’m off
Worst show I’ve vet heard from you’s, fucking connect 4?
Guttman “mane was never gonna run in behind them”, did you see the sending off mate?
If Aguero did that to mignolet I would be fucking foaming at the mouth!! But whatev’s, just coz you go down to 10 doesn’t mean you automatically forfeit the match.
Everyone knows deep down that our back 4 a is nowhere near good enough to compete or the big titles but can’t believe it’s been laid bare first game after the transfer window closes!!!
I should add, thank god for Paul Senior
+1
What is wrong with people? They play connect 4 for 5 mins of a 20+ min show. Have a beer and relax. Not talking any points from City away isn’t the end of the world. It’s probably the worst team to get someone sent of against. They would put 3-5 past most teams who have someone sent off.
Sevilla next. Up the Reds!
There are plenty of valid reasons to be angry about today, and a game of Connect 4 really isn’t one of them. Enjoyed the show even if it was much more upbeat than I can bring myself to be at the moment.
Fuck off with your Connect 4, lads. Can’t be arsed to listen to any more of this shit.
I’ve come back to this cos I’m still p*ssed off about this f*ckin show. RMTV went down the pan the moment they started acting like idiots on air. Well Chris did anyway with his obsession with upstaging Paul. Then they went out and got in a whole tribe of no-opinion mumblers and it became a rabble of garbage and Fantasy sh*te. BUT it started like this….Fuckin Connect 4, ya melts! Get back to being professional lads.
What’s a melt?
Connect 4 really not a great idea lads. Just made it hard to hear and it really felt like you weren’t concentrating at times. For Scousers who can’t get to Anfield more than 5 or 6 times a year (like me) because (a) they live 200 miles away and (b) have young kids and (c) only share a season ticket; the Anfield Wrap is one of the main antidotes to the misery of sitting in a distant pub on your own watching the Reds getting battered. Something I have done FAR TOO OFTEN in previous seasons to make it fun anymore. So with slightly less vitriol to your previous correspondent. We pay to hear your considered opinions not to listen to you arse about.
Very steady about the game. Jon Moss saw blood and so matched it with the card. Mane looking for a ball over his shoulder that bounces high and he goes to bring it down.
Best Sevilla.
Flip it around against Mignolet vs Aguero Koolhand21 and would you accept the red card then?
Please red cards stupid or otherwise happen, so please don’t start with excuses for the team or Klopp.
Traveling fans went there to give it their all and saw fuck-all after Mane’s sending off.
Can’t believe I’m paying for this. This is really poor. I’m out…
Burn that bra mate… Burn it!
Forget the Mane sending off. That was not the reason we lost this game. The reason we lost this game is because Klopp still hasn’t resolved the problem of not having a dominant and pacy centreback, compounded by the lack of a central midfielder with any defensive nous. My left thumb has more defensive nous than our 3 midfielders.
We gave up schoolboy goals, ball watching for all 5 goals in fact. So much for pressing.
A one off because we won’t face teams the quality of City every week but an Achilles heel that will rear it’s head throughout the season.
Your Review Show inc. Sean Rogers, your shows l with cameos of Mel and your The Pink (‘post-match’) Show have always been my favourites on The Wrap. Since starting Twitter lately, I’ve being encouraging others to GET IN TO THE WRAP! etc. And then you do this. I’m embarrassed and embarrassed fir you (alcohol a player here too?)
I stopped listening after 6 minutes. Rob was at the game and could’ve done this with Paul alone or a.n.other. Neil- you ‘sound’ pissed as well as pissed off what with the unfortunate man on the plane delaying things and then the result of the game.
But that’s not how it works- and you know it!
Connect 4 ffs!! Connect 4 ! on a day we’re hurting and you’re being so bloody disparitated- we deserve better. You deserve better. Focus all over the shop like you couldn’t give a shit- but we do and did
Harsh words but you’ve let us down guys – at least the players were professional.
I’ll await the Review Show – if even.
Peter
Fuck your connect four game and that was 100% a red card PERIOD. no doubt PERIOD. end of discussion PERIOD. I feel you should make a VVD like apology for your connect 4 game. FFS!!
You sad sad fuck!
-1 :D
The total collapse in our spirit and shape was more disappointing than the result. Going down to 10 men at 1-0 down With Carra and Gerard on the pitch, yes we may have been beaten but we definitely would not have given up the battle. After all Mane is an attacker not a defender.
The Midfield was sloppy all game, Hendo not yet quite at his best, but both Can and Wanjaldum go missing early doors on away days. For the 1st Can failed to pick up De Brune, Btw great player but was given far too much space today, and for a player of his quality he’s going to punish you. Stop De Brune today and you more or less nullify City
That was a shocking piece to add to a shocking game. Stop overthinking what you do and trying to be different or quirky. Talk about the game. Give some insights as fans at the ground. Connect 4 – couldn’t hear you properly! Do the show then Connect 4 or whatever you want after it.
Possibly your worst show ever, all of our glasses are red tinted but FFS we got dicked 5-0 and it could have been much worse, a fucking training game second half. Ten men or not that was one of the worst halves of football from the reds I have seen, gutless, spineless, clueless, subs were ridiculous, sorry but can’t just ignore that, Liverpool shouldn’t be getting dicked like that. Midfield / defence woeful, if you told me three years ago we’d have a midfield of Henderson, Oxlade Chamberline & Milner I would told you to get fucked…Its only September we looked gassed, imagine this squad in January…
FFS calm down some of you- some of our ‘fans’ really piss me off at times, like fucking children. Yes it was a shit day and there are lots of questions for the manager but some of the reactions here are beyond ridiculous. And the PERIOD nonsense – what can I say other than you must be on yours! There is nothing cut and dried about that sending off as is demonstrated by professionals and those of us who have played the game being split on it. That’s the truth PERIOD! Potentially great game ruined (rightly or wrongly) by a sending off. Shame but we move on to the Champions League on Wednesday.
Have you ever been cleated in the face? If that’s not the most straight forward red card as a current ref/player, I don’t know what is?
Cant believe you head melters are freaking out about the lads having a bit of a laugh, ffs get a grip, it was one of those days and agree or not with the red card we bottled it after and deserved the tanking we got! is our defence great? No it’s not and even the dogs on the fucking street know it but to have a go about the connect 4 is embarrassing, the lads are trying to lighten the mood ffs, think some would be best running back to Twitter! Roll on Wednesday night and Up the Reds!
Completely agree with the last 2 posts, thought you got a different class of supporter at Liverpool but it would seem not.
I wonder how many of these dickheads would jump of a delayed flight half way round the world and go back into work.
If we had won the connect 4 would not have been mentioned, the childish, petulant posts cause we lost are embarrassing.
To the game, the fact there are so many differing views on the sending off suggests it was not a clear mistake by the ref, both went for the ball, unfortunately the keeper came of worse, for me not a sending of but you can see why he made the decision he did.
Not sure why we persist in playing Gini away from home.
More worrying for me is the total lack of leadership and lack of communication throughout the team, Hendo at his best is a player but I am surprised Klopp is not looking for a stronger leader for his team.
Puzzled as to why apart from VVD we did not look to sign another centre back .
Much better days ahead, but I also fear a few more results like this to come which is why top 4 instead of a concerted title challenge for me.
Thanks lads, got a draughts board you can borrow!.
Droughts it is lol.. today’s Ritchie yellow proves how tough a call it was! These prima donnas in here need to wise up, The Anfield Wrap is quality and for what you pay a month it’s for nothing!
What a load of crap from you two. The Wrap takes itself seriously and we expect that too. It’s not the bloody Connect 4 that’s pissing people to write these things, it’s symptomatic, it’s the disengage.
So we lost a game – we do the show. So we win a game – we do the show. But if it was a win there would be more focus on what happened and possibly why- not a ‘not arsed to do this’ attitude just because we got hammered.
Neil missed the game but the others didn’t. The synopsis and post mortems are supposed to be from people at the game without a ‘couldn’t give a rat’s arse’ about a proper supporter view, but it sounded like Neil had more time on his hands than usual too. That’s what we’re pissed off with.
As fans and subscribers we expect more- it’s why the Wrap wins Independent Football Podcast Awards- they’re bloody great and always came through thick and thin. I’m annoyed but forgiving as we all should be- but it doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be mentioned.
If you’re happy with an unusually unprofessional podcast- then it’s ye who should live on twitter for more such commentary. And leave proper analysis to the Wrap and those who care about its standards. So lol Yourselves.
Over 400 shows a year, some of the best content around about Liverpool and because they are playing a game for 10 mins while discussing the game there are people saying they are going to throw in there subscriptions
Sorry if my standards are not up to yours but I think it’s way over the top
You may not like the idea of them playing a game but for fuck sake get some perspective
Just because you spend your time fuming about such inconsequential things does not mean you care any more than people who don’t
They win awards because the way they are, the pink is light hearted at times and has to be, there’s a balance to be struck and if you look at the content over a month on here it doesn’t come much more professional, the all round content, analysis and the Rider stuff is fantastic as is the U18, U21 and ladies coverage, let’s be fair and think about some of the pinks there’s been and the guys are allowed to have a laugh and a piss about at times!! Up those connect 4 reds…
Up Jurgy’s Connect 4 Reds
Spot on RedsUp.
People here stating if they won and played Connect 4 you wouldn’t be moaning. Well, 1) if I couldn’t hear the conversation over clacking of a game and the presenters were distracted it would still be annoying as we subscribe to hear them talk football and give insights
2) yea it’s a laugh, yes we need humour and Liverpool lost and not the end of world – but what’s important here is context. There’s a time for stupid gimmicks (well maybe no time a good one for Connect 4 that offers nothing over radio to a listener bar noise annoyance) and it was one of those ‘let’s come up with a whacky idea for this one’. Have the laugh in the actual content. You / we don’t need to be depressed, its footy, but use the head lads and do what you do best.
Fuck connect 4. Next time play chess. So much more dignified…..
A match that seems to have sharpened the divide between 2 camps of supporters: Highly demanding, Klopp-suspicious, transfer enthusiasts who want FSG out on the one hand, and, on the other, support-the-teamers who are charmed by Klopp & the path we’re on.
I believe Klopp & his coaching team will be privately fuming. He has pointed out his disappointment with finishing – clearly Salah – and the midfield. But for purposes of club morale, he’s willing to paint this as a bad day at the office. Liverpool have frequently handed out this type of result & it doesn’t mean the opposition’s season is ruined. The truth lies somewhere between the Arsenal performance & this one. This was bad luck combined with unacceptable capitulation & garbage defending. I’m thankful we have the opportunity to put things right on Wednesday.
Its the pink, its never really been “professional” and I don’t want it to be. Christ half the time they’re all pissed, esp Gibbo and I fucking love it. Everyone is angry because we lost but I ask any of you. Would you like to have sat around talking about that game? Chill the fook out lads.
We’re all chilled here. My comments and others are allowing the lads can have an off day. Read them properly before throwing personal remarks at us. We know half the time, or more, the lads have a couple on them (ususlly doesn’t show it adds to the rawness that we live) but as Denis above, others and myself are saying- there’s s time and place. And this wasn’t it especially on such a day. Yeah we’re cranky, so we can have an off day too- like the lad(s) had. Heard the group Review Show today- and of course it’s back on the ball. Brill as usual. Let’s all chill this one out, Peter. YNWA
