The OFFICIAL Liverpool FC thread - Arne to Slot right in?

That was a needless by Roberston but should Maguire still have been on the pitch.

Would have been a very harsh red. He's at the half way line.

Liverpool conceded 7 goals in the first 19 league games. They have now conceded 7 in the last 4 and a half league games.

Evens now!

What a great signing he has been

A great signing in fairness 

[Harold Disgracey]

Disappointing, but still 5 points clear.

Probably the worst performance of the season. Lucky enough to even get a draw as Leicester had plenty of chances.
Probably should have had a peno and McGuire could have been sent off.
Long long way to go yet.

It was a penalty offence, just not seen by the ref.

[dec]

First points dropped this season against a non "big 6" team

[Capt Pat]

I didn't see the game but that is a point gained on city which is important. Chelsea got thumped by Bournemouth so it could have been worse.

Unlucky with the penalty not being awarded but the players look very jittery, I think being top of the league is giving them vertigo.

That pretty much went as expected.  Salah and Shaqiri were not in the game at all and everything was very static upfront bar Mane. More worrying is that this could set the tone for most teams against us the rest of the season.  Thought Fabinho helped when he came on, very direct and you do miss TAA bombing on in games like these. I would have preferred to have started Fab and keep Shaq back as a sub. I think he is better in that role than Lallana. Worryingly we looked a bit unsure at the back and Leicester can count themselves unlucky not to have got another goal, they definitely had the clearer chances, Maddison in particular.

Was a definite penalty despite the BT commentators (and resident ref??) only getting there after about 4 replays.  However, can see how the ref missed it in real time and Liverpool have got their share of 50/50 calls in this regard lately. Keita was fairly anonymous apart from that. On the Maguire card, not a red for me. Ball was too far away and towards the side of the penalty area. Yes Mane would probably have got there and got through on goal with his pace but too subjective for me to warrant a red.

Anyway, if you had told me at the start of the City game on Tuesday we would be a point further ahead after the two games I would have bit your arm off so onto West Ham!

Is undersoil heating a thing of the past? Saw a good bit of the game last night and was surprised to see so much snow still on the pitch. Might have looked worse than it was but it defintely seemed to slow the ball down.

This is pretty much the only positive from last night. I fully expected both City and Liverpool to win their games. So to drop 2 points but still go even further in front of City was an unexpected bonus.
Still can't help but think it was a massive opportunity missed though.
The defense is a worry. Hopefully TAA and Gomez are back asap. Keita was very poor I thought.  He really hasn't turned into the signing I thought he was going to be. Not writing him off just yet but I would definitely be starting Fabinho ahead of him.

It's Liverpool so even if they pull this thing off they are  gonna make you sweat to the last minute, has it ever been any other way.
