Usual people spouting their usual sh*t.
Before the game people were petrified of United, so many telling me that they'll dominate possession, that they'll hammer us and could see nothing but a loss.
After the game everyone is an expert and suddenly knew that United would set up as they did, knew that we'd squander top quality chances and knew that United would apparently not even try to create (what a load of sh*t that is).
We penned them back, we had them on the ropes time and time again but couldn't land the crucial blow, that is the theme of our season. It doesn't matter if you're parking the bus or you're driving a mini we're just not catching the breaks right now in terms of our finishing. Sure blame it on not being clinical enough but really when Can bangs in a worldy for Germany but misses that against United from about 5 yards out? Matip forces De Gea to produce a worldy with his feet and Salah can't pass it into the net after that.
Lovren had other chances, Coutinho too, Gini, Gomez, sure you can say some of them are half chances but when you create so many half chances and top chances you should be at least scoring one. Anyone continuing the narrative of negativity after producing that level of performance is just showing their lack of perspective and ability to look beyond the most obvious and simple definitions.
Proud of the lads today, yet another strong performance.
Mourinho got what Mourinho wanted. You can dress it up a million ways fella but he came to Anfield once more to park a big dirty manc bus and we huffed and puffed but in reality created very little other than the Matip chance where we looked like scoring.
Even when we create a chance it's odds against it will find the net. Just look at when Coutinho fed Firmino in. He was yards offside but check that finish he produces out. Straight at De Gea from next to the penalty spot.
We could create lots of chances or a few chances at the moment, there's nobody to stick it away.
Firmino is a bloke who goes on these barren spells every season then he'll bag 3 in 3 and then 0 in 4 then 2 in 3 then 0 in 6.
He's no liverpool leading striker. Ever. I'm telling you now we will never win a league with him as the 9 - false or otherwise.
That position is bare. Nobody can tell me that out of the manchester clubs, Chelsea, Arsenal and Spurs and ourselves that we are not the weakest in that position, because we are by miles.
Sturridge had to go last season, Firmino had to move position or hit the bench and we had to sign a striker who is goal hungry.
Arsenal addressed it, United addressed it, Chelsea addressed it. The others were already kitted out in that area.
We did nothing, we will probably win nothing.
