Certainly it is true. He realised what he’d said and tried to cover it with more blather.

Gonna have to agree to disagree there mate. Either way it was at minimum an absolute yellow that wan't even given as a foul.
What a wanker.
Even BBC text we’re surprised he didn’t get any repercussion. (Perhaps the lack of on-field reaction means it gets dealt with retrospectively?)
it won’t, because they’re the new best-team-ever
Same as the PEA earlier today that was reviewed by VAR and a straight red given.
And that's where VAR and the FA really needs to sort it's shit out. Retrospective cards and discipline for diving and shit like this (so we don't have to add even more delays to the game).
It's not the reason we lost. It's just vinegar piss in the post match pint.
Can’t fault the tactics - though at same time don’t like it.
thought most ran their socks off for the club today. Congrats Tanganga - May it be the first of many; Aurier good; Gazza good saves; Dav & Toby solid; Winks ran himself into the ground and found some forward passes; Lucas the same. GLC good when he came on. Coco ran around a lot. Thought Sonny had a slightly off game. Not sure if it was Dele or is brother that showed up tonight. Rose a joke. Erikssen as disgrace - sellhim or drop him please.
such a shame and pity to see my club/our club resort to these tactics and this performance. How we have fallen.
Liverpool in 2nd gear most of the game...

Yes, we resorted to disappointing tactics, but we were forced to through circumstance. I think it will do the players’ mentality the world of good: massively depleted with important players missing physically (Hugo, Harry, Moussa, Ben, Tanguy) or spiritually (Eriksen) - but we still came off better than those teams much higher up the table.
players back and stable, a good FA Cup and CL run under our belts and on we go.
We played the only game we could with the squad available and with VAR and a bit more luck on our side, and some proper finishing, we would have at least got a point.
So disappointing that while VAR can spot a gnats cock offside it can't do what it was designed to do and that is correct "clear and obvious errors" the linesman/referee made a clear and obvious error in awarding a throw in incorrectly, what's so hard to correct about that? to argue it's not part of the build up? Bollocks.
As for the straight red challenge, he's a Liverpool player never getting given that's just the way it is. When even the most bias dipper pundits think it's a red you know VAR fecked up ... two big mistakes both in Liverpool's favour, they probably don't need a 12th man every week but it sure helps.

It’s even made the papers! How did I miss that?
Was at the game but I saw it differently to you. Could have / perhaps should have had a draw and you dont get that against the league leaders without scrapping. Our passes were often sloppy and we gave the ball away unnecessarily but the overall performance was so much better than those against Man U, Chelski, Norwich & S’hampton.
I missed the second half as had to get to a family pissup/party. havent read the rest of the posts so apologies if i double up on what any one else has already said
To lose 1-0 to the league leaders without :
1) our 1st choice goalie
2) our record signing
3) our best centre forward
4) no recognised holding player in a 3511/2 that demands one
aint bad. I thought we played well in the first half within the system that we set up, lots of nice little one twos, moved the ball a lot quicker than we have done, trying to play fast on the break. A bit too deep to make most of them work because of the oppo pace up front, and rightly so.
I absolutely love Poch and always will but there is no way he would have gone with that system today to counter Liverpool's front 3, and it nearly worked, even without key players. This of course based on what I saw in the first half as didnt see the second but I hear we should have at least pinched a goal.
2 years ago we beat them 4-1. They then went and bought two world class players in the places they REALLY needed them (£66M goalkeeper and a £75M centreback) - we signed no one for 18 months. That my friends is the crux of the matter

A la United
I think we have maybe a better chance of catching them than Chelsea.
That's still not a great chance but it's a chance.
Chelsea are on the up-Leicester are slipping.
And better still in the second, especially after Lamela and Lo Celso came on.
And we can't do that. Infrastructure first unfortunately. I believe this is correct provided that it improves our spending power in the market. Not this month, but the next two windows.
Yes, and in those days, the fear was Ferguson. Question him and you would be exluded from the pressers which was a death knell in the pre-internet era.
These days with so many suitors, the clubs flatter to deceive and there's only so many tickets. Same effect though. Either you're on the inside or you're nobody.
But in that "best player" thread from a while ago, I was reliably informed by some fans that Son could replace Kane's role like-for-like with essentially no drop-off. A few even ventured that Son would statistically outperform Kane in a CF role.
Come to think of it, the same fans also mentioned something about Korea, but I wasn't paying attention to that part.
Sky were awful post game. Really did not make any attempt to hide their bias.
That’s why I turn it off: normally do even if we win, but I’d already had the misfortune to watch a few minutes of the pre-match nonsense so it sounds like it was as I suspected.
well, when Liverpool’s run comes to an end against Villa or such, see how they spin it.
