This loss won't hurt Liverpool's title challenge. Two narrow losses away to Chelsea and City is not too bad.



Hull was bad

 

[Salvadora]

The Europa League is a guff competition regardless of them giving a Champions League place for the winner.

Think fifth will come down to Spurs, Liverpool, Everton and United potentially. It would be a poisoned chalice.

Has Rodgers herpes been discussed?

loooooooooooooooooooooooooooool

Obertan stormed out when finding out he wouldn't be on the bench today.

pls obertrain the 80's called and they want e.t to come home

 

[subtles]

I really am appalled at how bad Johnson can be sometimes. Our flanks are not an outlet/impetus when the midfield is pressured, we lost the ball so many times there with Hazard/Willan surging towards goal.

 

[Slizz]

Johnson should just be a supersub winger. He's as bad as Evra at defense.

Love the result. Not sure I'll be sober enough for the Ravens game, but I'm elated to come away with the win here. We are a good side and I couldn't be happier with Mikel and Luiz.

 

[jesalr]

We're 2 points behind Liverpool. For how poor of a season we're having, and how good Liverpool seem to have been, this makes no sense.

I regularly get called stupid, a moron, an idiot, and a retard, among other things. He also calls me a little girl sometimes.

This is my first job, so I'm not really sure how people generally deal with this sort of thing. Do I just ignore him? Do I insult him back? Do I break into the classic song-and-dance about "sticks and stones?"

I remember my first job at a gym bar and the manager was some ex-military chef who was banging the hot complex boss. Guy was a complete and utter lunatic and called me a cunt many times. :Lol

I found it absolutely hilarious so I stuck with the job. Dat tough lovin'.

 

[Hixx]

Lets reserve that question when the season ends

Spoiler

and when one team relegates and the other two qualify for Europe

Newcastle probably won't go down but I am looking forward to the Europa League next season.

Based League Cup. Based David Moyes.

What does based even mean

 

[Phoenix Fang]

Coutinho was never that good. Never understood the wankery.

Anyone else of the opinion the top 9 are locked now?

Please shut the fuck up, you have no idea what you are talking about.

How good has Luke Shaw been this season? I remember all the raves he was getting at the start of the season but haven't heard much of him since his injury.

Please shut the fuck up, you have no idea what you are talking about.

Oh really? Well, first tell me exactly what I meant by 'that good' because the level of quality I perceive him to have hasn't been qualified yet.

Cou had a bad game, but he's usually pretty good with Liverpool.

Also, what am I having for tea and where have I left my phone charger?

Luckily though we have someone that does! He seems to have went missing though. I wish he'd hurry up though, I have texts to send and no Idea what to say.

He walked off with minimum support, hopefully just a strain or twinge. Time to fast-track Papa if its a tear

 

[Darth Sonik]

Liverpool have been exposed as the inexperienced outfit they are against City & Chelsea, both games were won by the more streetwise team who know how to grind out results.

Liverpool are currently designed to beat poorer opposition, not to battle for draws & narrow wins against strong teams.


As for the Europa League, it should be scrapped in favour of an old school UEFA Cup knockout format.

Omg Howard Webb is biased against Liverpool because of Hillsborough.

Some lad on twitter. Wilbur retweeted it.

It's a tremendous feat of mental gymnastics to come to that conclusion.

If Jenkinson hurries up, he throws it to Bendtner who can either lob Krul, or run at the goal for a one-on-one as no Newcastle defenders were in position. Instead he wastes time by spending ages picking the ball up

Can't believe the ref ignored the Eto'o foul on Suárez, clear penalty.

Carol Vorderman's arse is the greatest arse on Earth. It puts Kim Kardashian's overrated slab of deformed pork to shame.

Liverpool just need more depth an option at RB and they will be a serious contender.

Krul went up for a corner kick. They cleared it but got a throw in while Krul was running back. Bendtner is by himself unmarked. That moron just stands there instead of throwing the ball to Bendtner LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

It's why we won't win the league.

Too gentlemanly.

Giroud waits for the (nonexistent) offside call to happen.

Jenkinson lets the Newcastle defenders get back.

1. No money to be made in it (finishing in the spots required are worth the cash injection though but not the competition itself)
2. Even more punishing on squads than the Champions League due to shit schedules
3. Travels to Middle Earth to play some trampy goblin squad during a meteor storm a regular occurrence

It's a terrible terrible competition. Only Champions League teams win it as well for the most part.

For it to be remotely attractive, it either needs a rehaul or completely done away with and replaced with something else (or fuck, open up more spots for the Champions League, I dunno).

Unless you have a massive squad, it's not worth an ounce of effort and you will feel the same next season unless you buy loads of new players to fill over any cracks that will appear due to the schedule.

Who the fuck wants to play some team called Sheriff FC or some crackden wartorn club called Anzhi?

Maybe I'm biased because of how it ravaged our season last season (despite doing well to get to the Quarter Finals but we only ever played good in the Europa League and was too nackered to play in the Premier League as a result). Of course, it was also our fault for not investing in the squad until it was too late. Maybe we'd fare better with our current squad and stronger bench but I am not optimistic.

There is nothing remotely beneficial or cool about the Europa League unless you get to some stage where you play a top club like Juventus. That might put a smile on your face but enjoy playing variations of some carpenter and postmen club to gethere.

1- I agree about the money, however, ticket sold during those EL games should add a bit of a revenue, no?
2- How is it different from CL? yes, its bloated and the old knockout way of progressing is more favourable, but if you can't handle EL, you should stop trying for CL
3- again, how is it different from CL? Shacktar donesk and Napoli were in CL, yet Asenal had to play them. Do you know how energy draining that was? I would even say CL is worse as you have to play your top players as opposed to the lower tempo of the EL games.

I have stated before, the only different and the only beneficial side to the CL is the amount of money you receive. You play similar amount of games, you travel and you will get your team knackered from travelling to various places which includes .

You know what? If Newcastle is pussy enough not to want to play the EL, give it to us, we will show it how is it done.

Why wasn't there a Newcastle player in the area in the first place? Don't tell me that it was a counter attack gone to a throw in, Newcastle must be slow as a snail if they can't track back fast enough for Arsenal to counter and have enough time to have a throw in...
