Mitoma's goal was pretty slick, rarely see that kind of feint in the air these days. May they go on and win the FA Cup. Don't let City please.
Brighton really plays some beautiful football going forward and they managed to make a great team out of mostly unknown players that clicked together. There is also some memes out today to compare Mitoma and Nunez transfers. He was some 2.5M and then the joke goes that Liverpool could have both more than 20 Mitoma's for Nunez fee
Did not watch the game, but I have seen his goal and it was a beauty. He also scored a great goal in their last game so I am thinking Mitoma will soon find himself as a target for top clubs.
Yeah, I actually thought Mitoma was also not bad at World Cup, but the rest of his teammates were in similar high category, I just love that kind of goal, it's less silky skill and just regular footballing, but with courage and verve.
I bet in all of this, it's Potter who looks back with the most regret.
Tune in for another episode of Behind the Bet - where we’ll be chatting with the fast-thinking, shot-stopping Premier League and England goalkeeper - Paul Robinson.
Man, Steve must have really good contacts to get these legends on the show! On unrelated note, we have to be so old if we feel like we have fresh memories of the guys Behind the Bet. See if he's as chatty as Calamity James
Dude, selfishly I just want the season to end (LFC wise). I’m really dreading the CL last 16 tie with Real, we are going to get absolutely schooled. Injuries haven’t helped, we miss Luis Diaz desperately, Jota is a miss too, plus VVD.
Midfield is the main problem though, realistically we need 2-3 top class midfielders before we can think of competing next season. New owners would be a blessing because I can’t see FSG backing Klopp enough. The club is supposedly up for sale. Bring me that oil money!
Wolves away next, I have the chance to go as that stadium is less than 45 mins from where I live but I’m not sure if I want to go at the moment
I'm watching the games now already expecting bad things to happen, so I feel ya. Even before Mitoma's goal I saw the end coming, the Chelsea draw was probably the last time I thought we might have a chance of changing. It's so bad, Klopp actually said we played quite well and I'm not sure which game he was watching (a few good attacks don't scrub out the bad passing and nerves throughout). The way things are, we might as well play B team and give the first 11 a sort of... mental retreat?
I know it's dumb but I actually am looking forward to Real... it's our only chance of salvaging a season, but you're probably right, we're going to end up whipped badly if we don't find a way to stop the slide.
What's interesting this January is a lot of other big clubs seem to be caught in some kind of funk. Chelsea, (even City?), Real, Juve, Inter, Bayern, PSG, I can think of. So we've got Arsenal, Napoli, taking advantage. Good for them!
