Been coming that. Bound to happen. Literally felt like one of them you knew it was going to happen the amount we've huffed and puffed to little effect.

Felt very Rafa era vs a lower table team  all game

[Szumi]

Yep. Called it about 20 minutes ago. Just laughed when Luton scored. Liverpool could've easily had this game done and dusted, but Darwin had one of those Darwin performances.

Felt very Klopp era vs a lower table team all game. How many times has this happened now? It's certainly a lot for a would be top side.

Feels very Kenny Dalglish era vs Luton

[DavidMarrio]

Diaz bailing us out there. Absolutely made up it's him whose scored given what him and his family are going through atm 

[Hobo]

Revenge for when Riise scored that injury time OG

[Szumi]

Liverpool deserved a loss, but Luis Diaz deserved a goal more after everything he's been through. 

[Colly]

Yeah it's a strange feeling being simultaneously gutted for Luton but at the same time made up for Diaz.

The real loser is my draft team which had Watkins, Konate, Salah and Jota...

[DavidMarrio]

Bias aside, Luton can get fucked for the tragedy chanting and poverty chanting. 

[Hobo]

Does Andros Townsend have "Townsend Sr" on the back of his jersey?

Is there a Townsend Jr?

[Colly]

Inexplicably Andy Townsend is Townsend Jr.

Were they actually? Luton is hardly Beverly Hills...

[stokeriño]

Even Milton Keynes looks down on Luton ffs.

Carragher called it out during commentary

[Colly]

Good, that needs to keep happening, regardless of whether the commentator is Scouse.

Edit: The calling out, not the chanting. For absolute clarity. 😕

I just think it's hilarious to hear Mikel Arteta's response yesterday about the referees because after the Liverpool/Spurs game, his response was (paraphrase), "accidents happen, we have to protect the referees"

Managers are always like this. Klopp and Pep banged the drum incredibly hard to be allowed to use 5 subs in the leadup to a Liverpool vs City where they... both used only 1 sub each.

In fairness it's a path of less resistance to go on about that than it is to sit there with the media and let them dig into individual player performances or your own decision-making and tactics.

Still looks silly of course.

[Colly]

In the press conference you could hear journos asking which bit he had issue with and he didn't respond, just kept ranting.

Here's the ESPN VAR review for extra fume:

 

 

[METALMAN]

This VAR review is a regular thing? I know sports media need to find a load of shit to fill up the gaps where there are no matches, but VAR review sets a whole new level of tedium.

[Colly]

It's just a journalist who tries to clarify the decisions, he's been doing it for a while. All the "big club" fans think PGMOL are paying him to help cover up the conspiracy.
