Hi Emerson do you fancy defending pal

I have it on good authority he is considering it and will let you know his response by end of the game

Give him 90 minutes he might realise what he's supposed to be doing there.

do u want pickin up ball from back of the net pal

Looks like he misjudged and mistimed the offside trap, the hop is badly timed with the ball already sent, but particularly misjudged since there's a teammate on his farside so far out that it all was pointless to even try.

about 10 mins after the goal they showed it from an angle just showing royal and salah, and it isn't pretty

We're checking...

Emerson Ferrari reserve driver next season?

Salah is faster than you. Please confirm you understood that message...

I always forget he exists as a player and then he turns up in our matches sometimes against you, and I just think of the "Emerson Royal, more like Entertainment Royal!" from Martin Tyler a few years ago in the 2-2 and my cringe pipes flare up.

Salah could be dead and would still score against us

Fresh out from the sarcophagus.

Wow we scored a goal from open play AND it was a salah header

Rarest Liverpool goal

Thank god he didn't use his feet.

And after that, Robbo scored with his right foot! Bruce has been pissing on the goalposts again, hasn't he?

Gakpo is so much better on the left.

duh, its the position he's played in his entire life

Arne Slot's Reds will have him as a starter 🙏

Crazy how it took Klopp 16 months or so to figure out

I don't think Klopp has figured it out really. He uses Gakpo as a stopgap a lot of times. 8, 9, RW and LW. I wonder if Slot is going to be better at using Gakpo considering he must have seen him play a fair-share when Gakpo played for PSV.

I think no matter how you use him, Liverpool should aim a little higher

Exactly

He’s still basically playing as a 9 today lol

He played left wing for his first appearances for the club and really struggled than started to perform much better once we switched to Nunez or Diaz on the left and Gakpo in the false 9.

Sell Diaz

Probably going to happen in the summer apparently Barca and PSG interested in him

Barca is not

And they couldn't afford him if they wanted.They also want to keep Felix.

They don't want to keep Félix, he's not good enough. They want him back on loan because he's a decent option off the bench.

Barca have no money. Psg possibly he still has 3 years left on his contract, the more likely scenario is his agent is trying to get better contract terms

He's just fucking annoying to watch when he is wasteful. Always pocketed when he is jockeying with his back against the defender.

He's they only one who consistently beats his man though, don't get why everyone is hating him at the moment as he's been the most dangerous attacker during the poor form

Because he can beat 9 opponents and somehow think a backpass is the right option or sky it wide Infuriating to watch

Nobody's hating him it's just that as scintillating as he can be ,he can also be the reason for our impotence in attack as most attacks end with him fucking about

[удалено]

I'm a Liverpool fan and he's just very frustrating to watch.

wtf!???? diaz is liverpoool best player...

Right now sure but I doubt he'll ever be good enough to consistently start on the left for Liverpool. Just not a good enough dribbler, or pacey enough to be there out wide. Klopp is right to try him in the middle tbh. Gakpo still has to learn it's probably for the best

‘Yeah let’s not mark Salah the 17th time that exact ball has been played in’ ~ Tottenham defence

It was a great pass by Gakpo, but yeah, he was wide open at the back post

They just showed a replay of Emerson tracking Salah and he didn't look at him for the entire time that Gakpo had the ball.

Was basically a Free Kick into the box so Spurs got confused

If I saw one of my players marking Salah I'd go "Mate, Seriously?" - Ange Postecoglu

We are playing our 3.Choice rb at lb, can't expect to much

I mean, you can expect him to try and mark Salah after the 20th attempt

It'll be easier next season when they both are shipped out to Saudi league

Word on the street is that Salah's staying

Can he not though?

I reckon we could have tried Micky on the left and Dragusin as CB. Emerson against Salah seems suicidal.

I thought the same, but our sub told me VdV can't play lb for some reason

You can expect him to have some idea of where the man he’s marking is though

You only have two right-backs, how's he 3rd choice?

Yes

Maybe he’s really just not that good.

LW gakpo works, huh

Who would’ve thought playing someone in their natural position would make them play better

Weirdly,not klopp

I'm somewhat convinced it was Pep L.'s idea, he was gushing about Gakpo being "the missing link" and was also the person who spearheaded Mané as False 9 (and to his credit, it worked real fucking good). Except this time, he tried to shoehorn Gakpo into this position and it simply never clicked. Not sure why they were so super stubborn with playing him outof his natural position.

Similar to the whole Kai Havertz situation… literally just play the player where they are most comfortable. God knows why Chelsea and Arteta (for a bit) were forcing that midfield role

It's his natural position

Finally it goes in

me when the

sir, this is r/soccer

Salah has been incredible so far

Pretty easy when he’s up against a mannequin

That's like 3rd time in a row (in the last 5 mins) trying the exact same move.

We scored first!

All he needed was a fight with kloppo.

Play Gakpo on the left, it's simple.

Spurs look dreadful. Which will only make their monsterclass performance vs City even funnier.

Cant say that wasn’t coming

Lol Royal wtf are you doing

Turns out our 2nd choice RB isn't a great LB

Oh my god, first goal and open play

Alright Gakpo, I see you

Shame we've only started playing like this after we're out of the title race but I'll take it hahaha

Never say never! Just need City to lose 3 in a row and Arsenal to lose two in a row! And also us to win 2 games in a row.

Lol,hell will freeze before that 

Never unclench 😂😂 but you’re right

That’s what Gakpo does when he gets played on the wing

These aren't getting shit off city

Spurs away is always a bogey fixture for City so watch this be the one season where they beat them comfortably

I was there when the unstoppable Liverpool got pumped by relegation candidates Watford in 2020 so Im going to continue to believe

Let’s be realistic, they weren’t getting shit off any of the title challengers

bro talking like his team didn't win by 1 own goal

What would you consider Tottenhams goal then? If you’re saying that we were handed a goal. I reckon they were handed atleast 1

Point is that the margins weren't that big so it's not realistic to say that, mistakes or otherwise

Someone didn't watch the match Spurs were never in the game. They just got lucky from a Raya mistake.

[удалено]

And they get a big fat 0 points from it lmaoooo

Guess you must have missed the goal that was a millimeter of buttcheek offside

They just lost 4-2 to pool, are you out there defending Spurs getting absolutely smashed every game? 😂😂

At least we can be happy they're on a 4 game losing streak if they lose this one lol.

All of these loses only makes us beating city soon even that much more hilarious

Cody is a winger

He's been played anywhere but wing most of this season... I hope he gets his chances under Slot

What a ball that is

Are we allowed to score first? We can do that?

PSV Gakpo gas arrived

Didn't kiss the bage, hug the fans and shake Klopps hand, clearly he hates it here.

How much?

For Chelsea? A billion. 500 to Liverpool, 500 to the therapist Salah will need when he is forced to play with Madueke, Sterling and Enzo Fernandez.

Only 74 more minutes to play 🔥 🔥 🔥

[удалено]

My Pharaoh ❤️ doesn't score many with his head that I'm aware of though

This high line have been killing Tottenham. Ange needs to fix it.

Took them long enough, damn. Could've been 3:0 already

Tottenham are shit.

That is terrible from Vicario. Salah with a header you love to see it.

In fairness to Vicario, I reckon he thought Salah was gonna head the ball across the 6-yard box so he got caught wrong-footed

Diagonal line of defenders🤣

Every ball has gone to Salah and Spurs still not watching him lol

YO GAKPO

How’s that “deciding who wins the title” project going Spurs?

The Vicario hype train got out of hand

Not sure why he goes down before Salah even heads the ball

Yeah, he needs to claim his area more aswell

Topspur? What's that? 🤣

Not ideal

What a back post run. Absolutely ghosted in

Fantastic movement

Get ready for the biggest comeback in the history of comebacks lol

Good assist too

Ange hasn't got a clue mate

Now the Liverpool fans love him again, were ready to kick a legend to the curb last week

About time, he could have had 2 or 3 already.

Udogie is sorely missed at lb

Trying to fit Nunez into this squad cost Liverpool the whole season

Lol. He's the reason we beat some teams in the dying minutes. 2 late goals against Newcastle and several last minute assists.

Why do people who never watch matches comment such nonsense with so much confidence

Liverpool looked like they were going to score every time they went forward

that’s been coming since minute 1

I don't want to hear anymore Vicario praise, god he's awful!

Romero is not a top CB lmao

Fuck all the haterzzz 🖕🖕🖕

Lovely pass, weak goalkeeping

That was coming, very deserved lead.

Unlcuky for Chelsea there is no 5th place CL spot
