Did you watch it gawa? Didn't see any of it. Great to be able make so many changes and still win.

I did and thought we played pretty well considering. Sturridge should've scored at least one more but hit the post and another that rocketed off the crossbar.

[J70]

Decent result today considering 10 changes. Few handball decisions went our way but we also missed a good few chances

None of those were penalties. Ball to hand from close quarters in both cases.

The one they DID get away with was Lucas shoving the Bournemouth player over in the box. Hands to yer man's chest and just pushed him over. Very lucky ref couldn't see it.

[AZOffaly]

Lucas is mental.

[Armamike]

He never learns.  Needless fouling.  Some of them he gets away with either because the ref misses them, or we don't get punished by conceding.  The FA cup tie with West Ham though is an example of how it can hurt us.  He's probably gone in the summer, with Allen looking like offering a bit more.

[J70]

It was subtle. Very like when Noel Hegarty pushed Dessie Farrell over in the 92 AI final. There was widespread puzzlement as to why the penalty was awarded ( thankfully Charlie missed!) but it was a definite foul. You need an eagle-eyed Tommy Sugrue in there to see these things!

What do we make of this alleged/paper talk/pie in the sky about Sheikh Mansoud's half brother taking over LFC for £700m. Part of me would be very suspicious about the club heading down that route, but is it *really* much different than Henry owing it? And if he pumped in the guts of a billion quid on players and wages, would we care, if it meant a League title coming back to Anfield?

I think you know the answer to the question yourself.... But I'm sure Liverpool fans would soon get over it

[J70]

Where does the line of acceptability in terms of owners and the sources of their wealth and their background fall?

Or is the issue the sheer magnitude of the investment and a team distorting the market and literally buying success?

[heganboy]

A lot of rumors swirling about that FSG are in advanced stages of selling Liverpool to Middle Eastern buyers. Price tag of 650M vs the 300m that they paid for it...

so now it's 700M...

[blewuporstuffed]

A very low key build up to the derby tomorrow night.
Are Everton likely to rest players with the cup semi at the weekend?
I would imagine that wouldn't go down too well with the fans ?

two teams at the opposite end of the form scale, it should be a straight forward liverpool win..............

Which paper was that in?

[AZOffaly]

The echo I think.

In certain circles that is known as the scud...

[Armamike]

I'd fancy Liverpool more if we're playing them at Goodison! On form Liverpool should have enough, but it's a derby so who knows.  I'm hoping that we don't get suckered into getting caught on the break by Lakaku.
