Well, the extended purple patch has well and truly turned to excrement covered cabbage patch. The whole club needs to get a f****** grip, players, management, ownership ... unless they're content with winning in Europe and the league once Oh Salah's scored again now, everything will be alright
What the injuries to our defenders has shown is how important Fabinho is to our midfield. He’s done as brilliantly as can be expected in defence but we have missed him even more as the defensive midfielder he is. It’s also showing how much we need to replace Wijnaldum as well with a proper goal scoring midfielder.
Salah looks up for it. Bobby’s been much better today. Jones has looked busier in the middle as well some nice touch and movement with Thiago just now. Looks a much better player when he takes less touches on the ball than when he slows it down
No idea how a 50/50 tackle where both players follow through and catch either other can be given as a foul... and a yellow card to the man that actually won the ball
It was a great challenge imo. Good old fashioned 50:50 but mixed with the modern day throw yourself to the floor at the slightly touch mentality
thing is if you watch Fred, he catches manes thigh with his follow through so they both caught each other. Just unfortunately one rolled around on the floor the other got up and carried on playing
