They're not to regular mods. They're probably accessible to admin.

VAR - will catch the offsides because there is no wiggle room.

and

Our centre halves/full backs can cover ground pretty quickly, and our keeper reads the game.

I think they outweigh the risks and we compress at the other end.

Just on Sky now. 5 major VAR reviews thus far in the PL. 4 have ruled out "goals" which would otherwise have been given.

Playing a high offside line under VAR is much more likely to produce a positive result for the defending team than the attacking team who previously may have gotten away with being marginally offside.

Add that advantage to a seriously quick back line and confident sweeper keeper and you have a system which has been adapted to maximise VAR.

In Klopp we trust!!

Brewster coming off after 60 struggled badly and showing he is nowhere near ready for senior football yet.

Klopp is so good at judging when players are ready.

That game seems to be showing why he hasn't been in the squad.

I noticed in an other thread that someone was carded for asking about getting a PM for a little river.

That's a bit much if you ask me. I thought private messages were actually private, I guess not.

PM's are visible to mods. They'll get us if they want to!

Rudiger with a red card tackle on Elliott and of course the ref doesn't give anything.

I think we literally didn't concede from a single free kick when we did that.

It showed incredible discipline.

Wouldn't stop me ****ting it every time we did it, mind you. :P

I seem to remember West Ham caused us a lot of problems from set pieces in the away match but in general it worked superbly.

I don’t mind them stealing the tune like we’ve done from other clubs for our songs, but they’ve literally stolen the whole thing and changed maybe three or four words.

The Worst Fans in the World™️ have some competition.

The offside trap we’re playing reminds me of how we defended free kicks last season. Pundits went on and on about it talking about how we’d be caught out, and every match had numerous posts on here talking about how we ‘got lucky’ multiple times in each game by catching teams offside. Luck has little to do with it, we either catch them off or we don’t and the first mistake will be followed by ‘I told you so’ comments ignoring the 99 times it worked previously. If we implement this as well as the free kick defending there will be nothing to worry about.

OK, Caught the last few minutes of the half an saw the howler. :eek:
How's his distribution been? :pac:

But Liverpool have two Champions League winners playing so that cancels out Chelsea's first teamers

Harry Palmr

I hate the LFC commentator, only a bit above Press TV level. Anyway Chelsea are at home, are playing two proper first teamers and as ever have a rake of really promising future starts of the Bundesliga playing.

Too late - shame, he's had a few decent saves

In the time of Benitez it was zonal marking.

U23's are playing Chelsea at 7pm - water based viewing options are out there - Harvey Elliott, Rhian Brewster, Curtis Jones and Yasser Larouci all starting, so worth a watch.

Also, not sure if it's been mentioned, but Gruijc got a goal for Hertha away to Bayern to put them in front and ultimately got a draw on the first day of the season - fair fcuks to him...

It's a big un . Klopp would hold record for straight wins in the league also, joint now at 11 wins with Rafa. Even though this is across two seasons.

Did Rafa do 11? I know Rodgers did. While 12 is the all time record :eek:

Klopp is the quickest Liverpool manager in history to reach 300 points. He's done it in 146 games. Took Kenny 150 to do it in the 80s. (I presume that is adjusted for the 80s games to be based on 3pts, but I read it on the LFC website). Edit: It's obviously adjusted or else it would mean that Kenny won his first 150 games

Also the first time we've won our opening 2 games in consecutive seasons since 1993-94 and 1994-95

These jinx statistics have got to stop. The Sky Sports banner kept spouting them out on Saturday. Southampton haven't beaten Liverpool in 11 games, Liverpool have scored x amount of goals conceding y in the past 5 meetings, Liverpool haven't lost an away game since XXXXXX.............

It's like the old one that we never lost when Rush scored and then we did. Fortunately it was nothing important just a League Cup final.

Are these stats ok? :P

Giroud was about 10 of those!

That may be so but it doesn't really affect the ratio.

Liverpool vs opposition (Man City, Norwich, Southampton) offsides : 2 v 12 -> 1:6

We're catching the opposition out 6 times more than we ourselves are being caught offside. How long this will continue to be an effective strategy is unknown because sooner or later other teams will begin to adopt the strategy.

EDIT: For comparison here are the offside stats for the first 5 games last season, there's a massive difference.

5 v 3 (West Ham)
2 v 2 (Crystal Palace)
1 v 3 (Brighton)
2 v 3 (Leicester)
2 v 3 (Tottenham)
2.4 v 2.8

We're also currently on the second longest unbeaten home run in PL history with 41 games in a row, still nowhere near Chelsea's record of 86 though.
