Liverpool’s pressing in that half was very impressive. They will give Citeh a proper title chase.

We, have a lot of work to do.

Non of this is new information.

Rice off. Snodgrass on.

Vorselaarhammer

Wow getting overrun so take off a MF...

Strap in guys it's going to be a long half...

OldCastleSwift

;hmm

Doesn't look tactical.

I agree Suz they are playing with the tenacity of a non league underdog in a cup match and the class of a champions league side.

Yeoldhammer

Whats the point in buying pace on your wings if you are never going to use it.

MIAHammer

Anderson and Antonio have swapped sides.

They swapped at times in the first half.

OldCastleSwift

Antonio booked for slipping ;doh

OldCastleSwift

That one was offside

IronHerb

That was offside

MIAHammer

Now that was offside.

whupathman

And clearly offside I give up

Vorselaarhammer

Only 3 players offside...

chicagohammer

I actually like what I have seen from Anderson thus far

buffybegood

Miles offside, shocking decision

MIAHammer

Don’t know why the FA still doesn’t see a need for VAR.

ianbishoplegend

Against top for has to be more than 3 players offside

Bazshuayi

Only the three of them beyond our last defender though. But Beglin said initially that even though it was offside, Mane took it well hahaha

buffybegood

Bottom of the table as things stand ;weep

grey_til_I_dye

Now that was offside.

I know this, because even Jim Beglin said it was.

chicagohammer

Now that one WAS offside- clearly ;angry

Lukerz

Well new season enthusiasm lasted long

buffybegood

Glad the commentators feel it's OK to laugh about the missed offside.

Bazshuayi

Im still optimistic we'll do well this season. A tasty Liverpool away first game is no gauge of anything. The way they play they'll have beaten anyone who traveled there

For me Luke it still exists

Today’s gave is not a barometer of our season. Whilst I’m disappointed with the defending and a big hole in midfield I won’t be throwing the baby out with the bath water.

SuzanneClaret

Anderson, who has had a good start for us, off and Little Pea on.

Bazshuayi

The baby will probably be offside ;hmm

Bazshuayi

Ooohhhh an offside flagged ;whistle

SuzanneClaret

I will say though that my opinion of Masuaku (being poor) has not changed.
