A 'Hail Mary' goal with time running out...

...99/100 it would've knocked the pie out of some poor gits hand in row Z. :bandit:

It's funny you say that as he hit one exactly the same last week but it clipped the top of the bar so he said he slightly adjusted his kick this time.

He's scored better goals in his career. The lads an incredible talent just can't stay fit.

Slightly adjusted his kick? <laugh> Did he bollocks. He just belted it, as he did on Wednesday. It was a worldie though.

It was nearly identical, he explained it in interview.

He also said he tries things like that as he watches tapes of Zola.

Nah, he adjusted his kick apparently. <laugh>

He's a pro footballer you fool. They generally have control over the ball they kick.

Of course there was an element of luck but it wasn't a hit and hope. He knew what he was attempting and pulled it off on his 2nd attempt.

<laugh> Can't believe you fall for it mate. Yeah it wasn't hit and hope, but there was an element of luck. Adjusted his shot? <laugh>

The fact on Wednesday from almost exactly the same position it clipped the bar says it's true. These are top pros mate, they know how to control a ball etc. to a extremely high level.

I'm not saying he'll do that again next game if it falls to him in that position but the fact he attempted it twice and one hit the bar and one went in says to me it has a lot more than luck to it.

Either way mate, it was an absolute worldie. Good game, fair result.

I ****ed up with the bet due to Klopp.

Trust me he will be boss but to proper settle into a Klopp team takes months and months. Look at Robertson, Oxlaide-Chamerblain for recent examples. Both didn't play for about 6 months after signing, then became fan favourites. Keita has at least got minutes, and a start or 2. Fabinho is even further back.

But these 2 weren't bought for the bench. Klopp sees the bigger picture. I took the bet on a year too early tbh.

Oh well Pogba v Mourinho might still save you yet.

Yeah overall fair result. I did think we were slightly better but Allison showed his worth so that says something.

Kepa was impressive too tbf.

Interesting to see the Alisson haters have kept quiet. VVD was a monster again, as was Luiz tbf. Difference is Luiz has a brain fart in him, VVD ìs so reliable.

I honestly would like to hear an argument against VVD being the best CB in the PL? That's not directed at you, but in general.

Are we relegated yet? Annoyingly Cardiff and Huddersfield look tragic so only one spot left. Few teams in contention for it, maybe it’s our year

Have to admit that Allison is better than I thought he was. VVD looks a class act too. Kepa will be a top keeper imo, but needs to adjust to the physical aspect of our game, which I'm sure he will.

If you are good enough you will play straight away.
