That was a pretty good save from Flappyson Becker to keep the Cardiff chance out I thought, actually. Underrated.
Was it at 0-0, I can't remember.

From the overhead?
that's the one
No one talking about Salah's dive?
So are you saying that....next year is your year?
Salah literally couldn't run as the guy had his hands all over him (beyond the typical hand on shoulder stuff you usually see). Of course he had to go down ffs, he wouldn't get the penalty otherwise.
Yeah it was pretty good, but glossed over. His positioning is second to none though.
Probably in the Mo Salah thread bud.
Get a top creative midfielder and a bit of depth and you'll be sorted for another title challenge I reckon. Probably why you guys wanted Fekir so badly.
I’d agree with this. While our midfield has worked well enough, we really could do with a cm/am who can pick a pass and maybe score from outside the box so we aren’t so reliant on the front three doing it all by themselves.
Someone in the Coutinho mould with two workhorses behind him.
And, as you say, one or two back up players that are better than Origi and Lallana so we can give Salah & co a rest sometimes.
I thought Shaqiri was that guy but for some reason Klopp has stopped using him.
That draw against Everton...Everton managed to stop their tittle campaign.
Or United, or Leicester, or West Ham, or City beating us at the Etihad/drawing with us at Anfield.
If City win this, they'd need to have won 18/19 the second half of the season. Crazy.
Klopp on the Derby: “it’s not a game we are in a position to influence, and by the looks of it United aren’t either”
Mind games from Steven Merchant’s unhinged German cousin.

Still good that Liverpool needs a win from Utd (of all clubs) to secure the 1st spot.
They just can't win a PL with ease, can they? Bottlers? Ha, we'll see.
If we finish on 97 points you'd have to be daft to refer to us as 'bottlers'.
You should join blue moon. Over there they are fully convinced he's part of the conspiracy to rob them of the title detailed analysis of body movement to show he meant to miss Andy everything.
Use of "bottling" is a bit like proudly going on about brexit meaning brexit.
Basically low IQ exhibitionism.
I'll never join Blue Moon - i'm just repeating what i saw on Twitter this morning.
Maybe it's you who should join the Liverpool forum and leave us to comment in peace here.
Thanks.
Yeah, if anything Liverpool have been annoying resolute this season. One loss all season and despite some poor performances and falling behind in a few games managed to turn draws and losses into wins to stay neck and neck.
I think the league will be decided Wednesday because both teams will get 9/9 after it.
You are correct but I'm absolutely going to do it though.
Nearly win the league but don't? Bottled.
I'm confused how people can not root for Liverpool and root for City. City embodies everything wrong with the sport and have some truly disgusting culture.
Liverpool winning it will be massive for the soul of football and a clear message that you dont need a oil baron structure to win.
That being said, I dont live in England so I dont know anything about how annoying Liverpool fans are. I do know City represents everything evil about football though.

Oh I know, loads of people will.
Yeah I'm expecting City to win tbh. Both teams picking up a total of 195 points would be ridiculous.
Every time.
How exactly is losing the league after winning by 7 points mid way through the season not bottling? Have some people not realised that had Liverpool not given up a 7 point lead this City team would have been demotivated and not gone on the run they have gone in the league.
They were there for the taking this season, they believed that they were out of the title race and were on the verge of giving up. Had Liverpool carried on a bit longer City would have gotten significantly less points.

I don't know why she doesn't use the ignore function.Every time.
It'd be like we didn't exist.
Because we'd need an insane points tally to overhaul them? You really think not managing 99 points is bottling it?
That's ridiculous.
Every time.
I think she fancies you.
Absolutely. If we were bottlers on 89 points they can sure as hell be bottlers on 97 even if they aren't really.
There's something deliciously satisfying about the idea that you could get a tally that would have won the league in almost every other season ever... but still not win it.
If that happens is not a bottle job, but it sure would be great listening to you all going on about how close you came.

No that's not what I think at all. If Liverpool didn't drop their arses mid season they wouldn't have needed 99 points to win the league. Man City would have got a more modest points total and Liverpool would have strolled to the league title. The Man City players admitted as such, they though they were dead and buried and were ready to write the title off, but Liverpool pulled them back in.
That's guesswork though. City's form/performances under Guardiola over the last two years suggests they would've still managed at least 90 points.
How is it guesswork when the City players already admitted it? And yes that would be my prediction, City would finish around 90 points while Liverpool could have finished in the mid 90s and won the league with 2 games to go. Now they have to win every single game to finish on 97 points and still might not win it. It's your own fault for drawing so many games at key points in the season that you have this situation.
So then if City don't win it they will have bottled it for losing three games in a month?
I don't see how you can say either side has bottled the league if they both get over 95 points. You're making an assumption that City's form would fall off of a cliff even though they've pretty much dominated every side they've played this season, regardless of the result.
Please please let it finish 97 to 98 in City's favour. Imagine the whining and crying and poetry and books and DVDs

Maybe you've forgotten what bottling means? You bottle something when you are ahead and end up losing. If City win the title then what Liverpool did is textbook bottling. You don't look at the points total at the end of the season and then decide whether someone has bottled, bottling requires multiple reference points. Once again, it is not an assumption, it is confirmed by Gabriel Jesus.
“After Newcastle, it was very tough on us. We were very disappointed, more than anyone else. The players, the staff… we were all very, sad because we all thought we had lost the league in that game.
Fortunately, Liverpool drew against Leicester and that gave us a little bit of hope. Then there was another draw against West Ham and that means the race is on. Mentally, it is a big boost for us."
Man City were ready to give up and Liverpool dragged them back in.
A load of crap if I ever read one, fecking hell.
I think the wheels need to completely come off for it to be considered bottling it. Cannot fathom how amassing what will likely be 95+pts and losing probably one game is bottling it.
Honestly some people definitions are extreme...

City were 1st after 15 matches, therefore if they dont win they are bottlers.
We'll have to agree to disagree. With City's squad and set up under Guardiola I would still have expected them to reach at least 95 points if we'd beaten Leicester and West Ham.
