THEY fucking love getting their hair cut in Watford, you know.
I’m not sure I’ve ever seen so many barbers in one gaff in my life. About 10, in a row, all of them chocker. Mad that, isn’t it?
Alisson: 7
Tried to pass one to Firmino at centre half first half but fucked it up because, like everyone else in the ground, he was like, “what the fuck are you doing at centre half, you bellend?” Makes a great save when Degsi falls over. Nothing else to do apart from fill the goal.
Trent: 8
The free kick, mate. Right behind that. Half crying that Shaqiri had gone off, then he just bins it, like it’s dead easy. Needs a song, you know. Wish his name rhymed with Ronnie Whelan. Been singing Ronnie Whelan songs all day. Dead easy.
Virgil: 8
He’s our centre half, he’s our number four.
Troy Deeney got interviewed by the BBC or BT or someone and got asked who he hated playing against the most. His response…
Virgil van Dijk. Too big. Too fast. Loves fighting. Smells nice. He runs past you and you’re like “ooh” smelling him.
The best ever.
Degsi: 7
Did well first half considering he was playing with two boxes of fish fingers instead of boots. Fucking loves falling over, doesn’t he? Last year, a Degsi fall over was a goal. This year he has lads to dig him out. Well in, Degs. Get your feet in front of the fire and warm them up, lid.
Andy Robbo: 7
Sets up Mane to set up Bobby for the third, at a time when arses are twitching. Boss.
Henderson: 4
Ticked it over and done alright, but in fairness the sending off was fucking ridiculous. Daft as a brush. If the game had gone the other way he might have been strangled, and rightly fucking so.
Gini: 7
Did some keeping hold of the ball for a bit. Can’t remember much else. But The Reds won 3-0 and frankly I could hug all of them.
Shaqiri: 7
Feels like when he plays no-one else bothers there arse trying to create anything and just leave it to him. A little bit cursed, really. Did alright. Bright, can’t half pick a pass, just needs everyone else to play their normal game around him.
Mo Salah: 8
Don’t like him playing upfront, you know, but then he scores every time he does, and maybe I’m just a bellend who doesn’t know his arse from his elbow. Did some jiggery to get that goal in. Not sure what it was. Just seen it trickle over the line.
Sadio: 7
Think he might be getting diddled a little with our mad 4-4-2 shape, but still dangerous at times. Signed a new contract. Frankly, if I could get away with it, I would wear my undies on my head for a week.
Firmino: 7
Another one who might be getting had off by being made to play centre mid/centre half/centre forward, basically anywhere centre. But then he scores second half and does an exaggerated bow celebration, and we should all just carry him on our shoulders until we die.
SUBS
Matip:
Massive fan of the Big Joely five-minute sub. The piano man. Love him to get a league medal based on 19 five-minute appearances.

Fair score for hendo, but felt his first yellow was harsh as he was getting fouled initially. After that it was as if Jordan was determined to get the full set of cards by getting a 2nd yellow and subsequent red. When Jon Moss was giving Hendo a lengthy talking to, I was screaming at the TV to get him off and get Fab on in his place.
Agree over Shaq and no supporting cast for him first half. Wasn’t helped by Bobby playing in goal for us. In fact any further back and he would have been sat in the stands with the supporters behind the goal.
Felt TAA and Andy were off the boil today. Both had a lot of loose passes and sloppy stuff for about 60 mins.
However putting all that aside. This Watford team will trouble a lot of teams. That’s why they were 7th in the League before hand. We had to fight for today and overall I actually felt that was one of our better performances this season. So I am well chuffed. Now looking forward to watching the highlights on MoTD.
I was doing well until I got to the bit with you and your undies on your head. Was a bit sick.
just needs everyone else to play their normal game around him.
For me thats part of the problem with him. That and his annoying habit of passing and standing admiring it rather than getting on his bike.
As Ben says…..seems mane, Salah and firmino don’t look right in this formation basically created to get Shaqiri on the pitch.
But we won 3 0 so what do I know?
Up until the Watford game, we were averaging a goal every 23mins with that quartet on the pitch. I feel we should be trying it, but would play the front 3 as we did last season and play Shaq as the 10… we allowed Coutinho to do this, so why not Shaq.
My personal view is Klopp doesn’t trust Shaqiri centrally where we could get overrun. Stick him wide right, with a Full Back to cover behind and leave him with not much to think about other than doing something with the ball once he gets it. Right now, if you expect Shaqiri to know the Liverpool patterns expected of players then you’re looking at the wrong man.
Brutal on Henderson, but 100% spot on! From the moment he got his first you saw that sending off coming. Should be smarter sometimes.
0-3 away at Watford however, no more reasons to camplain! Keep on watching your back, City!
Up the still unbeaten Reds!!!
If you’re going to get a daft red, do it in a 0-3 win rather than a season-defining derby. Truth be told, I’m not sure how many will notice him gone for a match. I’m a fan of Hendo, but he’s hardly indispensable these days. That’s a credit to the squad, not a knock on our captain.
