Presume this is trolling but we played them off the park for 45 minutes!

Always been a massive fan, but picking the Ballon d Or over a World Cup win was disappointing to say the least

The crowd certainly helped the home team, both with their support and putting pressure on a weak referee. It‘s a tough game out of the way but I’m feeling a bit disappointed not to have come away with a point. We did alright today.
We’d live a 3-0 win against WHU and a 2-1 against City this season, not weird at all
I don't think Baleba was fit enough sadly and personally I thought Ayari was immense. But they may well have scored the goals even if he had made earlier subs.He should have made subs earlier, it was blindingly obvious that Liverpool were getting on top, with the ref’s help before the first goal. Not hindsight, I was screaming for subs before the goal. Ayari especially and hoped Baleba would be brought on

There's having a life outside of football and going to the gym when BHA are 1-0 up and outplaying Liverpool at Anfield.Because I have a life outside of football and NSC
I think Ayari would have stayed on if he hand't got wiped out and taken a knock. He was having a great game.
It is trolling. Loves it when we lose.

Yes, well done Muff and Forest. I'll include Forest as 1 of the big boys we've played so far and after next week, in 11 games after City we've played 8 of them!

I thought the subs were made a tad late
Yes - but even @Harry Wilson's tackle went outside to cut squashes and post about them during the match!! https://nortr3nixy.nimpr.uk/threads/what-kind-of-squash-is-this.410398/#post-11349849There's having a life outside of football and going to the gym when BHA are 1-0 up and outplaying Liverpool at Anfield.
Oh well we always do well with the teams below us…..

We don’t have a fit squad?
It was the same between the 20th and 30th minute approximately when he gave them three soft fouls in quick succession and put us under the cosh with a load of corners.
As for Mac Allister booting Veltman on the knee when he was already on a yellow, well, you won't get the dismissal at Anfield. If it had been Ayari doing the same to Alexander Arnold, however...

Don’t have anything negative to say about our performance today - we went toe to toe against one of the best teams in the world- we weren’t outplayed and totally held our own - yes we lost but we lost having a go without gifting them the win
What prevented the 2 goal lead?

it seemed to me that VAR didn't even bother looking at the first one - all too happy celebrating the equaliser, maybe.
We dominated the first half, then totally retreated into our shell in the second, same as we did against Wolves. Their attackers were overloading the wings and cutting inside every single time on Wednesday night, both goals came from the exact same thing today. Yeah they have a few players that are on a different level to ours, but I just feel we ended up rolling over a bit for them tbh. We had the momentum and chose to come out playing the low block for 45 mins. Then no subs until the damage has already been done…
I know it’s not going to be a popular opinion, I don’t want to have doubts about the manager and obviously didn’t expect us to get anything today before kick off, but there does seem to be an air of naivety about his approach in my view. I do think he is learning lessons as he goes, but it’s whether we’re happy for him to have a ‘transition season’ or not really.
As said, if TB accepts that and sees FH as an investment, and is happy with us not qualifying for Europe this season despite the £200m spend, then fair enough. I just really, strongly believe this team is good enough to finish in the top 6 and should have the freedom and belief to take it to any team in the league.
