If we wear red and has the name Liverpool as club, the blog will read "Rampant Reds denied win by two controversial decisions"Guy on BBC live-blog saying we didn't do enough to win it. We did. We had the ball in the back of the net twice, both times legitimately before they were incorrectly ruled out.
How many times do you have to score before you "deserve" to win? VAR is an absolute disgrace.
I don't get why we persisted with 5 at the back when the game was there to be won
I don’t think we were terrible, again we have to give credit to the other team. For some reason after 2 seasons of being shit and playing awful football we all of a sudden feel entitled to a win. We are the same team basically, this is a process and will take time, we still lack creativity in the middle of the park. But since Conte has came in we look so much better.I think the problem is that we would have looked a bit clueless against anyone down to 10 men with everyone behind the ball. We saw samples of it at home to Palace just recently. There's enough enough fluidity and creativity.
Lets not forget that we were terrible when they had 11 men too.
But we did break them down that's the point.People need to stop bitching about the referee and need to focus on the lack of ability in our team to break a team down
I think Winks played well and offered a threat.Beat Watford and Arsenal and it won't be a disaster this result but that's certainly two points dropped.
We started slow. Ok, no problem as I thought we were just being compact and waiting to go stronger later and we'd change it up at HT.
Not sure Conte got the right changes as I think Ndombele for Hojbjerg or Winks was the call to make but you can't blame him for not bringing him on.
But it's clear we lack creativity and another striker.

Yeah I don't see how anyone thinks thats a foul. Doherty just jumps for the ball - he doesn't barge into Forster - and the keeper fucks it up.This kinda of decision borderlines corruption. I have no idea how was Doherty's jump considered a foul when he had no impacted Forster to lose the ball. He clusterfucked into his own net.
Forster got fucking lucky there. That's luck, if there's anyone still thinking we are lucky to have equalised.
Technically 3 goals. The penalty, Kane's very questionable offside and the Forster OG where Doherty (who people are loving ripping apart for playing on his unnatural side yet still got into the box to have those chances and caused the issue for said OG) jumped and Forster bundled the ball out of his own hands and it went in.2 halves against ten men and no goals. Oh for a Christian Eriksen.
You do realise that 5 at the back isn't necessarily defensive?!I don't get why we persisted with 5 at the back when the game was there to be won
Yep. Absolutely.Anyone questioning going after Vlahovic needs to watch that last 15
Our away form is also massively worrying. We were lucky to be playing against 10 men because Saints were absolutely dicking us before the sending off.
Not sure why Doherty ended up at LWB and Gil at RWB. Seem too obvious to swap them round?
The "clear and obvious" rule. It gives them the leeway to decide what they want to interfere in or not. It needs to go.Clattenberg was the referee expert on the tele and said the ref got it wrong but VAR doesn't get called in in that situation!!!
Why the fuck not?
Partly on Conte this one. He's been our worst player in a decade and today he's asked to play out of position to make him twice as shit. Could have put Davies, Gil or Lucas there against 10 men, or even change the formation. Anything to not put Doherty at LWBdoherty awful, 2 disgusting shots, no idea what that punt in the air was when he was through, and awful touch for that 1 on 1, never want to see him again
