POST SPURS...
LIVERPOOL v Spurs 2-2
ANFIELD
Sunday 4th February....
Report..
I was hoping for a 3-0 rout to wash away the memory of that wembley debacle.. however
for me the selection, again starting Mane, was wrong... Karius, although looking better than his previous games beaten by a shot from 25 yards ... as was Migs at arsenal!... seems always a question of concentration.. however have to admire the shot!
and the substitution .. (Matip) again a mistake..
the late Kane eqalizer , 2 dodgy decisions on pens,..Karius guessing wrong for the late late goal ..feels like a defeat and yet, on play Spurs deserved at least a point.. the late goal by Mo was a peach, and I thought Lfc had nicked the result.. and put them closer to the top... but once again Lfc were not the sharpest , at home, (as v wba) for the first and 2nd balls, Can lethargic again..I was hoping for the energy we saw v Citeh, (*4-3)
as Rafa always reminded , key games are won in details.. sure the ref did Lfc no favours in the end, however Spurs had much of the game in their hands, the first equalizer caught Karius out ,recovering from a punched (rather than gathered) clearance, but what a strike by their lad Wanyama ..was the result of pressure, the sort of pressure Lfc should have made..
the key MOMENT for me, which I mentioned SO many times...when Juergen sent on MATIP, to defend, this gives the initiative to the AWAY team as he did v chelski at home (another draw, of NINE in the league this season!!!) Wanyama on for Spurs had the OPPOSITE effect, taking the game back to the southerners side..
It was another great game, but for me Ox should have started and his drive could have benefited the team more than Mane, who no longer seems to take on players as he did, and his passing and touch seems way off...
I used be responsible for join t ventures , one of which was between 2 german and english companies it reminds me of the good and bad aspects of german techniques; able to keep to a plan , without fail but lacking in the spontaneous reaction when there is a problem or need for a change!
Juergen KOPP is a good coach, but NOT a TOP manager, because unlike Maureen, or Rafa he is unable to use tactical switches and strategic changes to win a game, only IF he learns to do this will Lfc win a trophy..
Sad that the game wasnt won with a great goal by Salah , who like Firm and the other "fab 3" member Mane, is as frustrating as he is brilliant, some his touches & right footed passes are awful but when he gets it right, as he did twice , he is brilliant, wonderful to watch,
Firm. missed an open header from a great pass from Trent, which coukld have made it 2-0 however his work rate and inter passing justifies his selection,but i just cant get why, after several weeks of poor form Mane started ahead of Ox (and is Lalla still injured...? )
and PLEASE DO NOT fecking tell me that Phil and Studge leaving has NOT weakened Lfc s chances of success THIS season!!
 |
| Salah! 1 |
 |
| Karius better, but still flaps sometimes |
 |
| Salah Akbar 2 |
" def not a penalty. but the previous offside/penalty - what linesman said makes no sense - the offside occurs when ball played forwrd by Spurs, nothing to do with Lovren
without being top form was equally important , especially with chelski losing 0-3 at home to B'mouth ...! Lfc just 3 points off 2nd place a win v spurs sunday is like every game, vital,
I would hope JK is motivating his team by showing them the 4-1 debacle in London, and promoting REVENGE for, if no one the Lfc supporters who were there that day,... (well those that stayed)
 |
| Hendo back |
henderson-relieved-to-return
MY "hopeful" selection:
WARD? no, probably Karius, for this game keep changes as minimum; although VVD comes in...
Gomez , VVD, Lovren, Robbo
Hendo
Can Lalla Ox
Firm
Salah...
If Lalla fit, he starts if not ; Milly, all my decisions are based on form & game maturity...anyone "hungry" to smash spurs gets my vote... wish I was there at training in melwood...Mane needs to prove his place ... Lalla is needed as JK says (more or less) he IS the "replacement" fannies scream for...
GO for it... aim for Number 1...

Spirit of Sh
The Broken (transfer) window
..
the media love it, and they rule the childs mind, the "fans" who are glued to their "smart phones" fooling themselves (because they have played football manager on their computer) that they are "marketeers" ... choosing the next "fast food selection' players who have a good season , get "wanted" status.. when in truth there are a handful of players who are : truly "World class" which for me; means staying at the top of your game, season after season; several seasons... otherwise they are no more than more cogs in the wheel; so similar to the modern music factory.... "one hit wonders" in a couple of years , just another name...
Causing Mid-season DISTRACTION & disruption... surely this "window" was intended to help clubs who struggled with injures during winter to be able to refrech the squad, now its just another part of the "MARKET" ...the selling OFF of the game to commercial vultures...
OK stop it... make it compulsary for players ANYWHERE in the world (FIFA?) to be secured to their clubs season by season... and ONLY be special application can a player be transferered mid--season (with "cause" such as injury crisis MUST then be proven!)
whatever JK claims and cloned hacks like walsh try to defend; a) Phil should not have been allowed to go in January, a deal could have been managed to fix it for summer b) THE squad is weaker without Phil...IMO, its not about "replacement" its about decisions, too many since 10 years of USA corp. have been against the interests of LIVERPOOL 's Supporters
reminders :(3 years ago) /2015/02/rednet-update-studge-is-backhim
CLOSE the fecker forever! PLEASE!
distracted you from...
the VARce..
what FARCE ... ! as JK mentioned ; 10 minutes time (NOT) added to the first half, what???????
will all clubs be FORCED to add bigTVscreens because 4 indecisive refs can work out an immediate decision, ? or because dumb modern fans cant decipher what the decison is? surely at Anfield "George" could just relay the message (decision ' "offside" or "penalty because Moreno stupidly fouled him" etc etc ) :)
? one more step towards replacing the "annoying supporters" with a virtual audience,.?who will know.. so many of the crowd are "stiffs" now anyway... just spectators... clueless! voice-less but not classless ?
(scene from wag the dog) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rh-Samvut-E all the USAcorps etc have to do is to price YOU out of the stadium, exclude the "rif-raf" turn on virtual effects...and sell the advertsiing space whilst they mASS-debate (m....) the decisions with the "over paid pundits" on TV and social media.... abd YOU the sheeple, the f ecking sg clones will SWALLOW it, just like you with this VAR BS!
"BEING FAIR"
JK , Ward amd the corrupt FA*UP?
did you read?2018/01/rednet-update-downbeat-down-to-earth.html
another weird thing about this season's CUP
games Lfc had to play ;.Leicester in the coconut cup & Everton and WBA in FeckUP ? ALL premiere league opposition... !!!!!!! CO_INCIDENCE?????
Ok Jk IMO could have resisted weakening Lfc against Leicester, WARD didnt have much chance,,, if Lfc proceeded against smaller clubs Ward could have featured .....
but to play demoted Migs & MoreNO v WBA was an insult to WARD who could have bee playing in the league for Huddersfield this season, and to Robbo, whom everyone except Klopp agreed deserved to make LB his own. Even Klavan was in form, but dropped... whilst Mane starts every game , despite being out of form since several weeks (2 stunning goals excluded) FAIR play amd the "enjoyment" culture being lost.. I played cards here,,last saturday..: "it was "nice" to be included in a game of cards..although i wasn't completely welcome! :)
it also highlighted the cultural differences locals apply to "OUR games"
(british isles also origin of football, rugby, criket, rounders, (baseball)..tennis, golf..etc)
dealing the cards...
anti-clockwise..
2 packs and double hand..
the game for Liverpool and most societies i played Rummy in ..is ...to relax. with "friends or relatives" to joke, smoke, drink, tell a story..open and feel "easy"
(or alternatively for "gamblers".. who player seriously)
but NEVER "rushed" or impatient as at least one player was,,,
:)
and in every game ...inside or out...serious or "just for fun" ..PLAY FAIR...with FAIR PLAY"
St Pauli memories
I have been there, i was based in Hanburg and lived nearby for a while , but got to know its style better when I was "touringeurope" one summer about 10 years ago with "Belgian Red LUNATICS" we played in an anti-fa tournament for fun and support in west of england.. one of the other teams were "St Pauli girls" strong lasses who gave us a game, and at the end (after I suggested swapping shirts with their captain) we propesed an extra friendly game, and decided as the girls were kitted out in mens kit, we should "compliment them" ..so .. the organiser had costumes from the previous nights do, we drssed in female gear..and boots... being defensive destroyer is harder when having to pull me long red dress up to intercept their attackers... great fun, great girls , great attitude, which , as Brian has said is mostly lost to english senior footy stadiums ..and Anfield, sadly... I still remember the days when our support was TRULY "REd".... now the stands are full of more blue voters than in goodison...?
anyway ...the girls won a fair play trophy or something at the tournament but were limited to carry-on luggage flying back to Hamburg... so a I was driving back (albeit living at the time 800 kms from Hamburg) I volunteered to deliver the trophy, and arrived at St Pauli stadium when the girls were finishing training, no i didnt get invited into their showers .. but my inititive was appreciated.. such spirit needs remembering and repeating so dont forget "AeFaN" #eurofootyliga THE oppositioin to UEFA and join our tournament here;
Brians view ;
st-pauli-oozes-respect-
______________________________
..and.... sad and ironic at a time when Lfc do not have a "sound" keeper, the original Liverpool "Sweeper-keeper" ..left us "adopted Scouser" Tommy Lawrence , who was in Shanks "greatest" squad 1964-66 which won the League (twice) and FA cup (for the first time ever) never used gloves was "heavy" and a really nice man... shall be missed... (rather than the current pair, who usually simply miss....the ball!) to continued....
one of the lads wanted to keep his frock on a bit too long after the game finished! :P

ReplyDelete"scoring most difficult job in football" well currently coukld argue being in Lfc defence is more difficult....Salah surprised me, one season is not enough...to calculate his worth,... he hasnt completed that yet..and next season opponents will be looking for him, so then the real test of quality starts..but...
ReplyDeleteI was hoping for a 3-0 rout v spurs o wash away the memory of that wembley debacle.. however
A Bizarre ending to a closely contested game where Salahs Jekylle & Hyde game reflected the team and the naivety of Juergen Klopp, the home team were too often out-played and out witted by Spurs intent ...
the late Kane eqalizer , 2 dodgy decisions on pens,..Karius guessing wrong for the late late goal ..feels like a defeat and yet, on play Spurs deserved at least a point.. the late goal by Mo was a peach, and I thought Lfc had nicked the result.. and put them closer to the top... but once again Lfc were not the sharpest , at home, (as v wba) for the first and 2nd balls, Can lethargic again..I was hoping for the energy we saw v Citeh, (*4-3)

Salah could become great... join the VERY few TRULY world class players , maybe even become better than Luis, or those other players at Barca ...IF......https://www.theanfieldwrap.com/2018/02/so-salah-so-good-but-how-far-can-magic-mo-go-at-liverpool/#comment-65518

oh Paul, as soon as I started reading it ... i was tempted to go direct to the "comments" and read the apologists and those who pretend SHOCK as you DARE to challenge the "status quo" of Henry, F S G & Lfcs coach Juergen Klopp... I had just commented on the echo article about PC... with...
"despite the smokescreen and the way Juergen said that "no one is going in January" Lfc coach now looks weak,,, Phil a spoiled brat, allowed to be that by Henry & co ! ... the proven hedge fund sharks who will buy cheap and sell as high as possible ,"
....
some good points which your opponents will try to also "distract " us from...
my own is this....
- in History Lfc have always had to compete, against other rich clubs , same said about Arsenal when i was kid.
(albeit at one stage others complained during our dynasty, against Lfc!!)
- its a fecking EXCUSE for bad (club, team or game management)
- UEFA are as corrupt as any FA anywhere...AND if the League had done the RIGHT thing when Citeh broke the rules (season 13/14) and deducted points instead of a virtually meaningless fine, Lfc would have been champions !!!
- of course Lfc can compete, but one reason do not clamour for a return of Rafa, is that these yan kers would not respect his vision... JK is their employee, he has not , and will not earn my respect until he shows worthy ambition of true supporters expectations, and stop buying into their policies..
- Henry- Werner are frauds backed by bigger sharks ..a group of billionaires , so that "argument" that money isnt there is a STINKING herring , of whatever colour they can choose!
whatever the pros or cons of the argument; since what i call "USA corp" occupied the boardroom of Lfc ...(and we are approaching 11 season) Lfc , with all the multiple and destructive changes, or our ideals , and loss of quality on and off the field... ONLY ONE 2nd class trophy achieved... !
and I find it equally PATHETIC when I read, see, hear so called fans of Lfc or rivals GIVE Citeh the trophy ..now or even 3 months ago!
balls ... none !
ambition ... zero!
morals ... vacant!
there is a certain "karma" in life.,.. and a lot of so-celled Liverpool supporters need to examine their ideals and test their voices next time they go to a game..
GOOD article, shame on the other TAW writers and comments!

despite the smokescreen and the way Juergen said that "no one is going in January" Lfc coach now looks weak,,, Phil a spoled brat, allowed to be that by Henry & co ! ... the proven hedge fund sharks who will buy cheap and sell as high as possible ,
... as they consider this to really be THEIR selling club.. and all the "PR" about fans having a voice is always overridden by the truth,
approaching 11 season with just one 2nd class trophy, and what did you expect..? . thats their way,,,not (what WAS) our "Liverpool way" and still the apologists will tell you how great they are .. for me they are not investors, its spelt more accurately with an F instead of V! sad to see...tragic for true Red supporters,,, and for footy in general...!
porto 0 LIVERPOOL 5
ReplyDeleteLiverpool registered the joint-biggest away Champions League knockout win, equalling Bayern Munich's 5-0 win at Sporting Lisbon in February 2009 and Real Madrid's at Schalke in February 2014.
This is Porto's heaviest home European defeat and the first time they have conceded more than three goals in a home European match.
Liverpool are the first English side to score five goals in an away Champions League knockout match.
Mohamed Salah became the first Liverpool player to score 30 goals in all competitions in a single season since Luis Suarez (31) in 2013-14.
Salah has now scored in five consecutive matches in all competitions, the first Reds player to achieve that feat since Divock Origi in December 2016.
Trent Alexander-Arnold became the youngest Liverpool player to feature in a Champions League knockout match, aged 19 years and 130 days.
Alexander-Arnold is the fifth youngest Englishman to feature in a Champions League knockout game, behind only Theo Walcott, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Jack Wilshere and Wayne Rooney.
Liverpool have won four matches by five or more goals in all competitions this season, the first time they have achieved that since the 1985-86 season (five victories by that margin).
What next?
With no game this weekend following their FA Cup exit, Liverpool are heading to Marbella for a four-day training camp. They return to action in the Premier League when they host West Ham on 24 February (15:00 GMT).
