[Albion] Premier League 29/11 - 1/12

[Algernon]

I see Pep was getting his "I don't want to stay in the place where I feel I'm a problem" speech in early.
Will he flounce?

 

[US Seagull]

Yeah quite possibly. I couldn't beleive the way they started the second half. He needed to be on them straight away. An equaliser seemed so inevitable after 50 minutes. I thought JP's application was the worse. When are the club going to understand that you get the same 3 points for beating bottom of the table Southampton, when you are 1-0 up, with 30 mins ago than you are with these comebacks V City and Spurs. They don't mean to but it's mentally weak or maybe just complacent.

Anyway, this probably isn't the thread. Liverpool are battering City. Should be more.

I think this is the problem you have when you dominate in the first half, but don't make it count. We could have easily gone in 2, 3 or even 4 up after 45 minutes, but we didn't. So what do you do as a manager? It's hard to make changes, because it seems to be working. Aside from the finishing. But the other manger is probably giving his players the hairdryer treatment and will change things around. The trouble is, you don't know what they'll change so you don't know what you might need to counter it. And it could take 20 minutes before it really becomes clear.
So all the tactical momentum is on your opponent.

That's the advantage of being away in a manger.

Salah misses a sitter, City still in this

Useless. Get rid.

 

[dazzer6666]

2-0…..

 

[jimhigham]

Penalty to Liverpool.

City players whining, trying to stall. Mo Salah plays keepy uppy on the spot while he waits.

Calmly puts it away for 2-0.

Hopefully that's night night Citeh.

 

[Deadly Danson]

Now a CHASM between us and City. Almost mathematically impossible for them to finish above us.

 

[Green Cross Code Man]

Manchester Fifthy.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Where would Liverpool be without the traditional late Salah penalty goal?

 

[oldboyroy]

Funny since Haalands stay humble comment that city have crumbled.

 

[Pavilionaire]

Citeh have been shit again. Today we are seeing the changing of the guard.

Klopp has done what Fergie didn't do, which is rebuild before they departed. Slot is reaping the benefits of a settled second season midfield of MacAllister, Szobozslai and Gravenberch, Gakpo, Curtis Jones and Kelleher kicking on.

 

[BBassic]

Sacked in the morning ringing out.

I'm so happy City are on this run, they really deserve every single bit of it.

Pep with a sense of humour in response

 

[Jeremiah]

No doubt the Gallagher brothers will now come out and claim they've always supported Liverpool and Citeh was just a home town thing.

 

[Si Gull]

According to the BBC, Man City are Liverpool's title rivals...so presumably we are, too, being above MC and having beaten them.

 

[pasty]

Wonder what old Klippity is thinking right now

 

[Questions]

6 yes 6…. He’s getting his retaliation in first

 

[Han Solo]

Nah. If they had fans I think they'd show their support for him in their next game.

Klopp must be well pissed off
