Pretty much. Which I think is what explains his current absence from the squad.

 

Mike Dean has sent Ajayi off on his first game back...but this time he's made the right decision.

 

Atleti just got Atleti'd.

Absolutely dominated possesion, couldn't get past the opposition keeper who was fantastic, conceded with the only shot on target the opposition had in the first 90 minutes. Went up for a corner in the 94th, gave the ball away and conceded a second as Oblak was running back to his goal.

 

I don’t even dislike Liverpool, but that shocked Pikachu face that Klopp does when things are going badly is honestly so good.

 

Kabak with a Lovren-esque first 15 minutes.

 

I like Kabak, hope he continues to be shit with Liverpool though.

 

Looks bad for Henderson.

seeing the Liverpool player struggling to take his trousers off was hilarious

 

I've often found this to be more indictment of the strength/conditioning staff than the player for all the other sports I follow. If Chelsea can't keep him healthy going into a WC year, I don't want him there for that reason either, haha.

 

Salah diving whenever he feels a hand on his body. So pathetic.

 

If they really cough up a 9 point lead with two games in hand, Simeone has to go no matter what he's done in the last decade. They've still got a game in hand, but if they lose to both Barcelona and Madrid that they struggle to beat later this spring, it's all gone entirely... let alone some of the other in-form Liga squads they've got coming up.

 

I love this comment with Mueller as your avatar. You're not wrong, but it's delicious.

 

How does Salah escape bookings for his dives? Jesus Christ.

 

That’s never a penalty

 

If he gives that penalty he surely has to sent him off as well.

 

I was thinking that too

 

Derby winner!

 

Van Dijk must literally be a "one-man team" the way this lot play without him!

 

Everton deserved to win but I'm struggling to recall ever seeing a worse penalty decision than that. That's not just a mistake, it's pure incompetence. Abysmal refereeing.

We are collapsing. Four home losses in a row.

 

It looked a definite penalty to me at first but on replay it wasn’t one. Seems the ref had his mind made up and just went to the screen for show. Weird because I think the ref had an overall decent game.

 

Thiago has to be a worry for Klopp but with Henderson’s injury today and Fabinho out they need him.

 

What a crucial win that is for our European prospects. Mikey "Keggers" Keane was colossal. Never felt more like singing the blues...

 

Another attacker running into a defender and falling down and given a penalty lol

 

With the title looking like a foregone conclusion, at least Fulham are trying to make the relegation battle interesting.

 

Congratulations on finally winning one.

No seriously you were better than us. That role in the centre of a tight back five really suits Keane. He was excellent. Thought Ancelotti was very clever with how he set up too.
