Better performance than the Brighton game, which wouldn't be hard to be fair, still plenty of dodgy moments though. Draw probably a fair result but doesn't help us much. 9 points behind Newcastle in 4th is a big gap.

Especially as it is going to take a few weeks at least for them to work through this malaise.

Top 4 is gone.

I don't know... I'd be very, very pissed off if that offside went against Liverpool.

You'd be pissed if an offside goal was correctly ruled offside?

Have you seen it?

Maybe I'm getting old and cranky with the constant evolution of the rules, but that decision looked ridiculous to me.

Yes I've seen it, and under the laws of the game he was offside, so it was the correct decision.

[J70]

Maybe so, but as with Rashford last week, the law is an ass.

I know, it's unreal having the officials on our side. Long may it continue

Could be worse, at least we aren't Everton!

I'm not understanding you here J70.  By the photo you linked, he's offside (on the basis of where his goal-side leg is) when the initial shot is taken.  If it comes to him off the bar without a defender touching it, he's still offside isn't he?

Almost his entire body is "onside" given the way himself and Silva are each leaning. His foot is probably mm "off". For almost the entire history of the sport offside would not even have been considered in this case. It just doesn't sit right with me personally, the way it's going. I know they have to literally and figuratively draw the line somewhere, but common sense is going out the window.

[Jell 0 Biafra]

Linesman probably wouldn't have caught it in the pre var days, but it would have been an error  in that case.

Good to keep the unbeaten run going. 

Christ we miss Diaz and Jota badly.

Had to find this on the 3rd page...

Will this game define the season or will it be the Madrid game?

[J70]

Midfielders are getting crowded out time and again in the centre of the park.

[J70]

From bits I've been watching before and at half time in the Donegal game, looks a much better all around effort from Liverpool today (69 minutes in).

[laoislad]

Didn't want to win it anyways 

Thank feck we don't have to play Brighton again this season.!
