Got to love it the policeman in was about to say you're nicked son then he remembered he only has a whistle.

Just need to banish this recurring thought that Spurs are gonna sneak fourth.
So we may need to get third !

Spurs are only going after a top four spot because we are.

I'm happy for Spurs to finish 4th behind Liverpool - boy I'd laugh if the Gunners were in the Europa League with Man Utd.

I'd prefer Spuds get in ahead of Chelsea rather than Arsenal. A CL without United and Chelsea would be amazingly satisfying. Never going to happen though.

No chance I'd want Spurs in the CL over Chelsea. Chelsea will always have money. Spurs with CL money = more of our targets stolen.

You're right, but my intense dislike of that club and their tosser of a manager means I'd be much happier with a Pool, Arse, Spuds, City top 4!

Ha I missed the match so first time I've seen it. A look of just total incredulity, hilarious.

Also I can't believe anyone was calling for a sending off there

Grayditch · 18-02-2014 12:37AM

Howard Webb really does look like a copper you'd see on those English shows where they follow the police around Newcastle at closing time.

It wouldn't have surprised me really. You can't put your hands on the ref like that, stupid carry on from Sterling.

18-02-2014 08:55AM

Webb could have done a Paul Alcock on it and went down like a sack of spuds! That was a surreal moment.

Di Canio got 11 games for that. Bit mad although it was a proper push but the refs rubber legs made it look way worse than what it was.

murpho999 · 18-02-2014 09:15AM

For all the criticism of Webb from that match, he was very lenient with Sterling there. Didn't even book him when he could have been sent off.

Rules very clear that you cannot touch a ref. Don't get why people are slagging Webb here over it.

Dickerty · 18-02-2014 10:12AM

A little shout out for Allen. I thought he was v good against Arsenal. In a quick passing game, he is very effective, can play the ball first time very comfortably. I think with some more time in the side, he'll look a little more forward in his passing. But I think he's a good guy to be able to bring in.

With Stevie also excelling in the deeper role, and Coutinho showing the workrate needed to play more central, Lucas will be watching these games and thinking "there goes my starting place".

He handled that well tbh, called Gerrard over iirc. But yeah Sterling was lucky. Should have been a yellow.

Allen was ok but if he doesn't play the next 12 games I'll not be too upset. Henderson is the better player and is improving all the time.

Decent sub to have though

The team changed so much when Hendo came on, a lot more urgency about the play.

I like Allen but I think he needs a real good run of games injury free before we can see what hes really made of.

Yeah in fairness to him he's never really had a good run of games for the club

Are people slagging him over that? I thought it was more his general ineptitude. And the outrage from certain quarters in the match thread that he didn't send him off.

Yep. I think he is a good player and a good option for us. He definitely needs a run of games for fitness and confidence. Dont know if thats going to happen though unless theres an injury.

Its great to see, the lads seem fired up at all times and dying to play.

LuckyLloyd · 18-02-2014 11:38AM

How was it that guy on Reddit put it? Something along the lines of 'Henderson trains like he's the Captain of England in the World Cup Final and they're a goal down'. Brilliant.

I must admit I wasn't a fan of Henderson when he came to Liverpool first. Every single quote about him be it from the manager or other players speaks volumes about the lad though. He stayed when he could have left and fought for his place. He's really developing into a very good player and his work rate/attitude is excellent. Absolute workhorse on the pitch, and quite clearly in training too.

Did we not see what he was made of against spurs alongside Hendo and Lucas. It feels at times like the Arsenal game has wiped the spurs game from people's memory, if anything we were more dominant in that game with a midfield that included Allen. Not saying one performance was better or more effective then the other(both were tonkings) just that we have discovered more then one way to skin a cat this season and I for one find that very encouraging.

But his silly running style has ruined his career.

Didnt that turn out to be total BS though? Probably true in Hendersons case.

Don't really care how true it was, it certainly fits with how he plays on the pitch is the point. And I just liked how it was phrased!

On a broader point. Do ye guys think that Rodgers will get money in the summer to stengthen or will it be another case of no money available ?
