So we had 4 of the normal line (including GK) not starting and 2 of the forward line not able to start plus a few others. Yet, somehow we are disappointed with a draw against City. Incredible effort, squad and mentality.

KD7, things are looking up, apparently. I know Diaz will get stick for his missed chancs and all that BUT sorry, I can NOT fault his game overall. He was absolutely immense even tho, I would have liked these chances to fall on someone else cos he is not that clinical.
Also maybe the way he played and the outstanding amount of desire and effort he put in robbed him of that bit of calm in front of goal. In the end, we battered City and we still have our title hopes intact, IMO. YNWA!

To dominate the second half against arguably the best team in Europe with the players we had missing was such an effort. What a well oiled machine this coaching staff have formed. Massive kudos to all involved. Could have won it, could have lost it, should have won it. Massively proud feeling tonight and the atmosphere proved once again what a place Anfield is. ?.

Man City looked different level the first 20 mins. They have an ability to make space that I’ve never seen before fair play.
Our 2nd half performance was pure class. You have to applaud alll the players there and bit for me our 3 stand outs were Vvd, Mac and Diaz.
Atmosphere was immense as well and crowd truly played their part.
This squad have the ability to win lots of things going forward but Klopp doesn’t have that time on his side.
I so hope we win this league title for him.

We should not sugar coat. The target was to beat City, and we failed. The target was to maintain top position in league table, we failed. Real men don't sugar coat, and VVD in interview got it spot on, it was bitter sweet. We failed as team and as a club this evening.

Honestly what more do you want. One of the best performances of the season and one of the best games with 2 amazing teams. Some people are never happy but win, lose or draw I’m so proud of our boys, as many of them are just boys and what a future they have.

What a brilliant game two great teams giving it all
Anfield crowd was simply outstanding.

In a way I'm gutted because I fully believe we should've won that game but in another way I'm not. It was always going to be one of them, a very hard game and I'm just thankful we didn't lose, I'll take the point.

Leek you literally have no idea about football or competitive sports at all do you?
You can play well and lose just as you can play poorly and win. Nothing is ever guaranteed no matter what you do as a team or a club.
You have to understand the delicate nuances of professional sport and the ebb and flow of confidence and momentum. What we did today was stand toe to toe with the current PL and European Champions, a team that many think will waltz away with the league again. We dominated them for large periods and made their manager scramble around for answers.
It’s very rarely black and white, a win is success and a defeat is failure, there’s so much more to it than that and for anyone who doubted if this team has what it takes to win the title today we showed ourselves and everyone who watched it that we have enough quality and desire to go all the way.
You’re welcome to your opinion of course but I think I know which players will come out of that game buzzing and looking forward to what’s ahead and which players will have seeds of doubt sewn into their heads.
It was a good job done, it was far from a failure.

Brilliant match. So proud of the boys. Any future manager coming in must be seeing the potential of this club.

@Beckers, Lee is just a troll whose main purpose is to get a rise from us fans. He was running his mouth throughout the entirety of the live chat during yesterday's game, calling for Klopp to be "punished" for leaving out Salah from the start and generally thrashing all our players. He also did write, and I quote, "its a must not lose game. We did ok", which is contrary to what he posted above. Best to not give him any more attention since it seems to energise and encourage him to continually post crap.

Great game of football - the two of the best sides in the country, possibly Europe, going at it from beginning to end. Couldn’t ask for anything more in terms of effort and, on a different day, with a bit of luck, a match winning performance against a top, top team. Good to be a Redman and footy fan yesterday and, when you consider the expectations at the start of the season, we are just light years ahead of what most of us hoped for. Bring it on for the rest of the season - just can’t wait for the next match.
11 Mar 2024 06:55:51
Leek also said he is done with PL football on the live chat yet here he is today posting about a Pl team. Clearly not a bloke with any conviction ?♂️.

"Real men don't sugar coat" - had to laugh at that one.
Is it only women and wimps that work in the confectionary industry then?

I know Drac but sometimes it’s hard not to bite. He’s such a weasel lol :)
11 Mar 2024 10:34:16
Beckers pecker mate, I was going to say the same thing. Leek is an Arsenal fan and a troll trying to stir stuff up. I admit, I get triggered with his nonsense BUT really, don't feed him. It's what makes him relevant.
11 Mar 2024 10:52:44
Probably got a sore head after celebrating winning the title for the fifth time this season.
11 Mar 2024 12:10:10
I’m proud of the way we went at that game yesterday. Didn’t give up and were the better team overall. Great performance and unlucky not to get more than one point. We’re still in a title race and we’ve loads to play for. Hopefully City and Arsenal cancel each other out and we take advantage. No reason why we can’t win every game between now and the end of the season.

To quote LeeKuanYew from the live chat yesterday " I didn't realize I am so popular, I luv you all" (when he was being asked to bugger off and stop with the abuse and trolling) . That tells you all you need to know about his trolling motivations for posting here and being in the Live Chat. He needs to be removed from the Live Chat.
