      Agree that it does seem I've heard Jürgen say a number of times post-match that we didn't start well or whatever.  Better starts are likely an area the coaches have targeted for improvement going forward.


      It is funny when you think when Klopp first came we did the opposite, we use to come out of the gate buzzing then slow down as the game went on. Just need to find the best of both worlds.

      I haven't watched this as I am at my dad's side in Arrowe Park Hospital. He's dying here, literally, and know what? This game, we had to win, for him. I would've hated for the last Liverpool game of his life to have ended in defeat.

      Sorry to be depressing but f**king hell, it's got me emotional, that.

      Get the f**k in.

      get well soon to your daddy mate, your dad must be happy to hear the result,

      Seems Tamie Impala's banner he posted on one of the threads has been doing the rounds on facey by Liverpool groups praising it at Viĺla Park yesterday.

      Good work fella!

      Can't take credit for the banner unfortunately! Was made by a lad I follow on Twitter - brilliant though wasn't it - Hopefully see a few more over the next 4 or so weeks!

      It's a shame that a such an gripping and dramatic win was overshadowed by plantpot referees & their stupid toy once again.

      Something really needs to happen to Atkinson after this, his performance manning the VAR Saturday & then his refereeing performance in the Everton game Sunday was abysmal beyond belief. Although I'm not holding my breath on any action being taken because refereeing seems more and more like an old boys club every week

      Seems to be brushed under the carpet as usual. Wouldn't hold your breath waiting for anything, as you say the f**ker was out there making more sh*t decisions the very next day. That said it's so obviously wrong I don't really get how Atkinson can justify it, and I'd like to hear him try. Like Kamara said in that video above, putting aside where the 'line' should be taken from (i.e. maybe not the armpit...), the line itself isn't straight anyway! It's either a perfect example of Atkinson's bias against us, or a sign of his diminishing mental faculties, because I don't know how a unbiased, completely sane referee can end up with that abomination of a decision.

      Anyway, the game itself was a bit crap but yet another example of our determination. Don't mind getting all the LFC hating neutrals excited that we might drop points, only to score two and win all three.  :D

      He's clueless.

      Been on ignore since his first few posts.

      Utter drivel, and wum attempts is all I ever see when people quote him.

      Its not drivel, he is for once 100% correct, we have to get better at finishing our chances and also provide more of an attacking threat for the middle. If Klopp does not realise this then he's an idiot (WHICH OF COURSE HE ISN'T) as we can't rely on winning matches in the last few minutes every time, that relies far to much on a bit of good fortune, BUT I'm 100% certain that Klopp does see this and will tweak his system. We simply have to drop one of Hendo and Gini and start playing Ox, Keita or Lallana to give us some more drive and attacking threat as relying only on the front three is a recipe for disaster, all good teams score plenty of goals from midfield.

      There was a guy on Twitter trying to explain the technical side of it all, and how the VAR decision was correct based on the centre of gravity of Firmino.. didn't really make a lot of sense to me. From every shot I've seen, he is onside.

      Don't see how Atkinson can be excused for that.

      Here you go. Make of this what you will..

      Brilliant win, let's hope VAR does not come back to haunt us on Sunday.

      Teams must be concerned about facing us, we just never give up and scoring so late is the sign of a good side.  Forget fergie time it is now Klopps time!!!

      Got to stop these last gasp deals.Gunner go belly up sooner or later.

      When?

      Scoring in the last minute counts the same as scoring in the first minute. It doesn't matter when they come, as long as they do. If that means scoring in Kloppotime, that's fair enough.

      Quote
      Playing players who are 85-90% fit is risky and with our crowded schedule may be the Boss should have a little more faith and indeed flexibility in selecting  Ox, Nabby and Origi.

      I thought when Naby ran the show at Palace early last season, he would be an ideal replacement for Can. Sadly it just hasn't happened. The language barrier doesn't help him either. He looks a fish out of water on the pitch, when he's fit enough to play on it, totally reliant on Sadio for info and guidance.

      Divock is good for a rescue job, but beyond that, he just doesn't cut it unfortunately. The thing is, we're told that Salah is fit to play these games, but evidently he isn't yet. We need him next week.

      As for Sadio himself, he was on a yellow for a long time and with Moss around, he could have gone if he got a challenge wrong in the centre circle in the second half, with catastrophic implications for next week. Moss is notoriously fond of dishing out red cards when we're in town. Thankfully, he waved play on, and the rest is history.

      Quote from heimdall
      I actually thought that that VAR was computer controlled, I had no idea you had some referee with a clear bias against Liverpool just drawing random lines until he finds one that makes a Liverpool goal offside!

      In case it's forgotten, the original decision was offside. So if we didn't have VAR, the original decision would stand anyway and it couldn't be checked.

      Atkinson didn't draw the line. I understand there's 3 people at the VAR hub. The VAR, his assistant VAR, and a replay operator for the pitchside screen. The lines are drawn by the assistant afaik. Atkinson then interprets the info on the screen and informs the ref what the verdict is. We won the game anyway, so it doesn't matter now in the grand scheme of things. Unlike 12 months ago when a perfectly valid goal at Arsenal was ruled out and we only got one point, which was the gap at the end of the season. 

      We have 4 more points now than we had then. It always looked like a long afternoon, which it was. It also looked like one of those days when the ball just wouldn't go in, for love nor money. But it did, and when you don't put men on posts when defending corners, you can't complain when the ball sails into the unguarded net.

      Next week, it will be a different game. We are unbeaten in 46 home games, and 16 years at home against City. I'm sure we'll come out ready to get stuck into that ragball defence, and send out a strong statement to those who still question us. Getting ahead of myself I know, but I reckon a 9 point lead, (with the prospect of a 12 point margin before they play again) should give them plenty to reflect on during the break.

      What’s all this about the centre of gravity. Wherever your centre of gravity is, your foot can be further forwards or backwards relative to the counter balance of your arms/body.
      All smoke and mirrors to me, trying to defend an inept system or incompetent bias individuals.

      Ok, think I follow that. So the key thing to look at in the images there is the fine dotted black horizontal line. Where that line meets the red vertical line from Bobby's armpit is where the offside is determined.

      But there are 2 problems with this:

      first, the line is supposedly crossing Bobby's centre of gravity, not just going straight down. This represents a redefining of the offside rule, as I understand it;

      second, his "centre of gravity" appears to not be not so much his centre of gravity, as his left foot.

      Hence why the final red dotted line from Bobby's armpit appears to hit the ground somewhere to the left of where it should. Cos it's "hitting the ground" is actually just it intersecting a horizontal line through his left foot.

      An interesting effect of this new way of measuring offside (assuming this ESPN guy is right) appears be that if Bobby's left foot had been off the ground (or further off the ground), he wouldn't be offside, cos the horizontal line would be further up.

      Basically, what I'm taking from it is that VAR doesn't have an accurate way of determining where, if you draw a line straight down from a point on a player, that line hits the ground. They just seem to take it to be where that line crosses a horizontal line from your foot. (And your opposite foot at that.)

      Get the F**k, never gave up on them for a minute and I knew if we equalized, we'd go on and grab a winner. Didn't see that header coming mind you, what a ripper from Sadio and the cross was a thing of beauty.

      Yes Martin, you've finally come out to explain yourself, only too late. You should just admit your mistake, or award us that goal there and then. You've proven to the whole world that you can't draw straight lines, yet you still continue to justify your wrong decision.

      Now that it's too late, you should just apologise to us and explain why you hate us and keep giving decisions against us.

      Martin?  Are you still there Martin? :aaliverpool2xt1:
