Haven't Brentford got the best home record in the league?

Yeah, I ended up thinking who's in who's head again?

It's Salah not winning the ball and Mac Allister that thinks he might and not closing the space in case he doesn't that's the root of their goal. Mac Allister is ball watching. Neither here nor there. I know that will be an unpopular view but there you go.

Did he get yellow carded?

Clear pen if the ref gives it. Not enough for VAR to get involved. The grey area the PGMOL have deliberately created.

I went to a wedding in Bournemouth once. The groom made a joke in his speech about some of the guests swimming over from the Isle of Wight and how that was easier for them than you'd think because they all have 6 toes. One of them got very upset because she thought the bride (a relative) had told the groom about her 6 toe secret. Which she hadn't, it was just a lucky guess...

I saw a stat on SSN earlier. Since Dec 1 we've gone from conceding an average of 0.6 goals per game to conceding 1.4. I think therein lies our current problem. Ibou got injured, we just about got away with it until Joe also got injured. That wrinkle should work it's way out so long as the defenders keep fit.

Correct.

At full time, I managed to spill my dinner (roast beef, roast potatoes, beans, gravy) and when I tried I catch it I threw it all up the kitchen wall. I'm furious. But more furious about my f*cking dinner.

TBF, this won't really be on him, at least, it's only on him because of who he chooses to have as an agent. Isn't that his brother btw?

TBF, he said in that interview that he's already been captain so... That did make me think, doesn't he understand the difference between being the club captain and captaining the team?

Yep. 1-0 down and 1-1, don’t add any time for the time wasting and play acting. 3-1 up, add 9 mins.

wtf man. How/why is he scared of cats?

The lovren one was even more nuts cos it wasn’t even clear that he’d even touched the ball. dowd just thought he did. He asked his linesman if he’d seen it and he said no so he just guessed.

Yeah, I wasn't expecting that from Gallagher/PGMOL tbh. VAR was Stuart "They both come in high" Atwell. Hopefully we don't get him again for a bit.

I think we were unlucky today. Both of their goals have huge chunks of luck involved. The first, Ali would save but it deflects of Robbo right into the top corner. The 2nd was an oggy from Joe. I dunno why it's not been recorded as such, if their player even gets a touch, it's not on target and it comes off Joe's heel and spins into the bottom corner. Then there's the ref's performance and the marginal decisions around Pereira and to some extent Diop. The red was sloppy from Robbo but he's dead unlucky that Virgil is playing Wilson onside when he's got no need to. We had an xG of 2.14. They got 1.21. There's nearly a whole goal there. https://theanalyst.com/eu/2024/12/liverpool-2-2-fulham-stats-robertson-red-league-leaders-held Sloppy, but unlucky.

Hopefully Thomas Frank has written some of our team speech saying Chelsea are the best team in the league.

So that was guaranteed that we were at least playoff... I get this system means jeopardy, but really, I can't be arsed working it out but we've qualified top 8. Take it from me.

Yeah soz, I confused available with being picked. much like SSN who I parroted much to my chagrin.

I'm pretty sure I heard on comms last time we played that the 5th win guaranteed us top 8 and I deffo heard it tonight. Didn't UEFA tweet after the last game that we'd qualified? It took them an hour or so. I assume cos they had to fire up their computer to compute it. The same one or similar that did the original draw. It's not just about who can get so many points cos these teams play each other or don't. They can't all win.

Training and in the squad for tomorrow.

unlikely to call it off or unlikely it goes ahead?

They also might think, regarding slates coming off etc that earlier the better. We'll see in the morning. With it being a derby they might think it's okay to call it off at 10-11am.
