Dreadful game, a game where both teams can come out of it feeling bad about themselves

That poster hates Liverpool so I reckon he was trying to use reverse psychology,and it worked🤣🤣

Lol, Klopp absolutely bitch slapped Sky Sports there 😂

I enjoyed watching Brentford when they first came up, they played a hi energy attacking game , anytime I watch them now, its like the old Stoke.

The question was something like: according to us, not you, you were expected to win this game handsomely after last year's 7-0 and the general form of both teams so far this season. Did that weigh on you today?

Klopp: you overestimate your influence, we don't listen to a single thing you say.

To be fair, there was an awful lot of talk about 1 of the 2 results from last season forced upon us in the last week.

As said earlier, very bad game. Which is out of the ordinary. There was a comment above about that being normal but it's not. Majority of recent games have been full of goals. Lots of 4-0,5-0,7-0s etc a few 2-1s thrown in. Has there only been 1 other 0-0 in the last 5 years out of 12 or so games?

Big gap in expectations of the 2 clubs given the reaction to the result.

Out of interest, for all the injuries and 'half a team' talk (admittedly on other social media platform and whatsapps etc), how many starters were missing for both? I don't think it's such a chasm as narrative would suggest.

That said, the Liverpool attack really need to click into fear, and fast. 4 games in a row now where they've been poor. Today is the first day it's cost them though.

To be fair they have lost their star man on a ban which dictates their play.

and Maupay , they were both at it

Lol Keanes comment, " 1 title in 33 years". What has that got to do with Van Dijk, he has won the PL recently.

Roy Keane, who is very happy to constantly recall up the 'Lads, it's Tottenham' team talk that his manager used to give, is now offended by a perceived arrogance a player.

That Sky script writer certainly earned his pay cheque, and got his big clip played out by the actor anyways. Add that to the pre-calculated agenda stuff from Neville & Carragher in commentary, and it's easy see why Sky are losing subs. I always get the impression that they decide what they are going to say before the game, and then work that angle in as much as they can, no matter what is actually happening in the game. Neville is the worst for it, but both are guilty. Carragher couldn't wait to jump down Nunez's throat yesterday it was very obvious. Nunez played poor but their big hullaballoo about him not chasing down a ball that was going out for a corner was ridiculous. He was never reaching the ball and would have been running away from goal at a very tight angle at best if he did shoot. They were acting like it was an open goal, in the middle of the goal. It wasn't.
