Liverpool FC Premier League Champions 24/25 - Talk /Gossip/Rumours

Depends. Ideally you wanted 6 points from this game and Wolves on Sunday. Just to give us a bit of cushion to drop points with Villa away and City away next week. That cushion isn’t quite so thick now.

Oliver was shocking tonight and it hasn't been his first horror show this season. Fans are 100% right to call it out and the manages should all come together and issue a joint statement highlighting their concerns about the level of officiating.

TNT turning into Everton TV is a bit annoying. I'd like at least some Liverpool reaction or analysis.

They sounded depressed when Salah scored too and clearly had the Liverpool fan mics turned off

It'll be interesting to see what Slot did get it for.....…I think there may be an outside chance he went mental at the 4th official.

Ref got told, and Oliver, never missing the chance to be the centre of attention took the opportunity to bounce him.

We'll probably find out in a few months time the VAR guys had left the room early thinking the game was over and that's why there was no call on the push on Konate

With all due respect that makes absolutely no difference to what I have said. We can play poorly (any team can) but that does not excuse a truly awful refereeing performance, in this game, the next or over the course of the season. No one is throwing smokescreens

I can actually forgive Jones. That was reckless and stupid what Docoure did, you just can't do things like that in a local derby, he could have caused a genuine riot.

But Slot needs to cop on, is that his 2nd red now? I understand the frustration, but he has Virgil on the park who's well able to get his message across, and he needs to trust him.

On another note. With Slot and his assistant both getting red, who manages us on Sunday??

who manages us on Sunday??

Extend the invitation.

knock off a few wins now and everything will calm down what we don’t want to see any more of players or manager losing their heads . Media would love to see that and would be playing into their hands . We really have to get all players up to speed now in title run in . There’s a few of them last couple of weeks are just not doing it . Let’s be honest where would we be without Salah !! A couple of transfer announcements would be very timely as well .

4d chess by slot. Has time now to get his answers sorted

You're focussing on the wrong thing. We can't control how good/bad the ref is, never can. We can control how our defenders defend and the defending for both of their goals tonight was abysmal. That should be the focus, not Michael Oliver and judging by tonight's posts, that's very much not the case. Our defending is going to bite us in the arse in the next two weeks.

I'm not focusing on anything though. Not once have I said that the referee is the reason we didn't win. What I have said is that the referee had a poor performance and not for the first time this season.

Just seen it put that if we win our home games (including Arsenal) and draw our away games (57 + 3*8 + 6 = 87) then Arsenal need 37pts from 13 plus a GD swing. So they would basically have to win every other match. That's comforting me.
