All the players look transformed but especially him and Pogba. To me that’s so damning on Mourinho and makes him look like a bit of a mug.
Seri's a great player but a massive ****ing idiot. Assuming no other team did make a bid in the summer, he should've stayed with Nice for another 6 months to a year instead of accepting Fulham's offer. Spurs, Arsenal, Chelsea and City were all monitoring him, not forgetting he was on the verge of signing for Barcelona the summer before only for Barca to change their mind and go with Paulinho. He was one of the most watched players in Europe in which perhaps a few clubs felt they wanted to see a bit more before making a concrete offer, yet he jumped ship at the earliest opportunity because he saw the bright lights of the Prem and probably failed to consider that the personnel playing alongside him were going to be ****ing ****. Seri in Arsenal/ Chelsea/ City/ Spurs XIs would have been a much different player to what we're seeing now. The silly prick has ****ed it though. Once they're relegated he'll either go back to France or somewhere like Russia.
Not seen it, but Paul Ince on the BBC is saying Mane's goal was half a yard offside. Makes a change at Anfield.
No its not offside because he's wearing a red shirt and there are at least two blades of grass between him and the goal.
It's not that clear cut. Sometimes tight decisions like that will favour the attacker, sometimes they will favour the defender. Well, depends on the team of course. But that's the problem isn't it, you can't criticise the officials for these type of near things until you realise how the 50/50s are not 50/50 at all.
I think that's part of the problem: nobody at Fulham seems to know what his role is either In their early games he was being used as the metronome in a midfield three, with Cairney the runner alongside him and either McDonald or Zambo Anguissa sitting behind in the defensive role - but since Ranieri came in they're formation's chopped and changed the formation on an almost weekly basis, which means one week Seri's playing alongside Chambers in a 4231, another he's behind Chambers and Johansen in a midfield diamond, another he's between the two of them in a 352, and another he's alongside Chambers in a 541 The one thing Ranieri should have done by now, indeed most people expected he would have done within a few short weeks, is figure out a system which could maximise what he could get from his players in order to turn results around - but instead he's still trying to figure it out, which on the one part can be blamed on their scattershot recruitment in the summer, but on the other Ranieri is more than experienced enough to know that sometimes making a sacrifice for one game will be vital for the next three or four games Good to see the BBC's coverage remains completely unbiased... GOAL - Liverpool 2-0 Bournemouth Georginio Wijnaldum This is joyous.
It would be amusing if Liverpool lose the league on the last day of the season because of an offside goal, the world would never hear the end of it.
The ultimate hilarity would be them having a perfectly legitimate goal chalked off because Norbert ran onto the pitch prematurely to celebrate, in the ensuing meltdown two of their players got sent off for assaulting the referee, and from the much delayed restart the opposition scored a winning goal despite clearly being offside - and in the post-match comments the opposition manager trotted out the "You can't judge these things in real time" bullshit their fans parrot on a weekly basis at this point
Where is RCL when you need him? I'll try it: There is no way Huddersfield, Bournemouth or Palace will get a point today.
Anyone ever felt pissed off after an away win before? That was so ****ing bad. Especially the second half. Up against the worst team in the league. 11 points all season. They had scored 5 goals at home all season prior to this game. 13 overall. Yet they still manage to have more possession and more shots than us. And of course, we don't keep a clean sheet against them. We probably should have scored more based on the quality of our chances and how wasteful we were in their penalty area, but for ****'s sake, how are we letting ****ing Huddersfield dominate our midfield? Any of the other 18 teams in the division would have beaten us today. I am convinced. And yeah we had injuries, but our players were still good enough to perform better than that ****show. Also - it's a miracle that Mustafi can be the standout performer for worst player on the pitch when we're up against the league's bottom side. His awfulness is something to behold. **** this season, **** this team. Fed up already.
Finished the game without a booking and got two after it! That match's twitter tag was also dangerously close to being Whatever.
Scary scenes at the Riverside earlier when Leeds' Jack Clarke collapsed on the bench having been taken off at half time, which saw him carried off on a stretcher while receiving oxygen Luckily it appears he has already got past the worst and is responsive in hospital
