ffs

[Hobo]

Thank goodness that is over.

[DavidMarrio]

THANK FUCK ITS OVER!!! Can't wait to get home

[Colly]

Paging subtitle man for Leonard Rossiter.

Liverpool join Dagenham & Redbridge as the only English top four tier team to score 14 times in a penalty shootout.

[Arjen Robben]

Oh well, still a good effort. Can't really complain about too much, and pretty pleased with the players to convert their penalties for so long given we were always having to score to stay in it.

An achievement right up there with your 19 league titles...

To be proud of?

[Gazz]

You've become such a pub bore

It also probably means you're one of two teams to concede thirteen penalties in one shootout bit I've got better things to do than check, like roll around in tacks.

[stokeriño]

Bit of a statistical novelty rather than a real achievement (particularly as it requires your keeper to be poor enough to let in 13). It would be like being proud of how many throw-ins your team wins in a match or something.

[Colly]

Or how many times you can hit the post instead of scoring.

[The Lusophone]

Or number of crosses.

I.e. all of them. Man Utd vs Fulham last season.

[Berober]

Or how many times you can hit the post instead of scoring.

Now now, had all those shots gone in, Liverpool would have won the league that one year

I am not actually 'proud' of that stat, I just found it interesting/fun.

[Ant]

Won £50 off a £1 betting on a Saints, Sheff Utd and Stoke win.

[Lineker]

Apparently when Altidore scored for Sunderland, the official Sunderland Twitter feed just tweeted "Bloody hell". Been deleted now, but

[Hobo]

The fact Mingolet didn't save a single penalty is probably an indication of how poor he's been. He's only in goal because he's all Liverpool have really. Brad Jones is worse.

[EddieG]

Didn't he save the first?

[Hobo]

Oh yeah. There were so many it's hard to keep track.

Still, one penalty save in the entire shoot out. I was hoping he'd save one and win in it. As much as people talk about the Liverpool's defenders - it's the keeper I am most concerned about.

[stokeriño]

Still, one penalty save in the entire shoot out.

Empirical proof that Jamal Blackman is on the same level as Mignolet.
