Sad to say, Toon find it impossible to score in an establishment created for the express purpose of exchanging currency in order to score.

I wish you and your team all the best.

@Dion:

Too bad Coutinho will leave in summer, though, he's playing a terrific season so far. Do you think he'll stay? I mean he's already played in Barcelona once (fo Espanyol) and who would decline an offer from the FCB?

Well that went faster than expected and Phil is now officially signed to FCB.

[neph93]

I’m surprised by the January move, but not that he’s gone.

[Dion]

So the fab four became the fab three now. Do you think LFC will buy anyone to replace him?
Although he isn't eligible to play in the Champions League for Barcelona this season, they have a tremendous offense now: Messi, Suarez, Dembele, Coutinho… and God help every other team if Griezmann joins them in summer ???.

I heard Liverpool may put a £30m bid to Leicester for Mahrez.

@bryaneidins70:

Apparently LFC have contacted Leicester to tell them specifically that they are not going after Mahrez. Lemar from Monaco is the main target. Much like Coutinho and LFC he is leaving, but his club want to get the most out of him in terms of playing time and money so a Jan deal is uncertain.

If I were Klopp I would be going after Sanchez about now, £15m would get him and he’d be an absolute bargain.

[neph93]

I’m keen on the idea, it would be a departure from FSG’s principles (buy young and develop) but they’ve done it out of necessity before (Milner). I’d take him on a 2-3 year contract. He’ll want more than that though.

No FA Cup title for Mr. Wenger this season… so no title at all :-X.

[Megatron1505]

Massive mistake to field that weakened team, disrespectful to the FA Cup too. Arsenal got what they deserved today.

[louisbosco]

i wonder who taught them to defend free kicks like that..

Liverpool prediction today @neph93 ?

[neph93]

That guy… everyone needs to stop giving him attention, let alone put him on Soccer AM.

I’ll be pleasantly surprised if it’s anything other than home defeat to be honest.  Even if our firepower is in working order and on top form they can match it. But I am generally a pessimist before the game, whoever we’re playing.

Wow….what a game.

A spectacular game at Anfield today! Many congrats to LFC… and @neph93 ;).

One of the few days I root for Liverpool.

Also, I watched this game on the Spanish channel which I will do quite often.  Even if you dont know the language I highly recommend you try it if there's Spanish channels in your area (Mexican Spanish).  The announcers are some of the best out there IMO and just hearing them scream GOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLL is worth the price of admission.  This was a perfect game to watch in Spanish.

Kudos to Liverpool.

It was a great result, thank you. You can see why I’m a pessimist before games though…

Being a Liverpool fan myself, you can never say never until the whistle blows.
