When is Liverpool losing NOT a win?
Weird. They really created feck all while we hit the post and Reina made a few good saves. On top of that we played only in 2nd gear. Yet they think they did well?
My. Standards have dropped there.

I think we played within ourselves but had they equalised (unlikely as they were poor themselves) we'd have upped the tempo and gone on to score again.
If Hodgson was still in charge they'd now be slagging Roy off for his shot tactics etc.

That's all right. On here Sam.G has declared that KD has "earned the right" to lose every game until May.
Can 20 losses be a win?

They were always going to say they played well today.
Even if they'd lost 5-0, and barely touched the ball they'd be saying how it looks like the team has turned a corner.

they seem proud of their display..... even with a loss that shows how low they have fallen.

Just what the feck were they watching? Kelly kept Giggs quiet? His 37 year old legs were squirting out piss all over his face.
How were they bettering us at any point in the game?
Honestly, two completely different matches were watched.
Crap, you saw it before I noticed the mistake
Liverpool FC fans to be banned from the internet on the basis that they are idiots. Petition
signedIt is amazing fantasy land stuff. I bet they'd ban anyone who pointed out they played exactly the same shite way they've played all year.
But then you might not have heard, Daglish has "earned the right" to lose EVERY game between now and May.
The majority think Webb lost them the game and feel Gerarrd's dismissal was harsh as Rafael made a two footed challenge on Meireles. 
They all convince each other that these things actually happened, like some sort of cult.

Magical Scouse tellies I reckon
It's a bit worrying. At no point in the game did we look like we were hitting top form, or form, or even fecking 'f'. We cruised through thanks to an early goal, and never felt like we had to go out of our way, it didn't even feel like we might concede, thanks to Liverpool's inability to do...anything but defend in their half.
We were poor in the sense that we didn't inject any effort into the match, we stayed in first or second gear, fluctuating between the two, while Liverpool went through the whole reel of emotions, and had nothing to show for it. I couldn't really see many positives from their side, apart from a couple defenders, a couple players who didn't look as shit as before, Reina with his 5 saveathon and a less-humiliating defeat, which seems to be the big talking point.
There's all this talk about how they fought for their performance, how they tried to come back and kept their heads high? When? What?! They struggled from start to finish, while we coasted through and barely broke a sweat. If it was another match, I would be a bit reproachful for our play, but at the end of the day, we beat Liverpool without doing basically anything, and they seem to see this as some sort of mega-positive, which for me, is the definition of retarded.

nnnnnnoooooooooooooooooooooo It's on
They are a small team now Hectic. Keeping it down to only 1-0 is considered a victory and a battling display.
Just like say Stoke did well to battle to a 2-1 defeat on Tuesday.
Actually, it was all Carrick's fault!
Hmmm, maybe because we can turn Blackburn over 7-1 while Blackburn can turn them over 3-1?
On Webb
Someone being hacked again?

They really are a mid-table side.
One of the commentators said "there are cases for 8 penalties aside (wtf anyway)" but it made me think, did they even have 8 chances? Did they even get in our box 8 times?
Did they even turn up?!
Was that a game of football or was it Giggs and his mates Vs some spazzy bunch?

They are sorry excuses for people over there, they really are.
True.
Considering their league position I'd say they've done well today. Only lost by one goal, put in a fight, had one goalscoring opportunity - that's okay. Oh, and King Kenny is back, what could be more important
ANOTHER GEM.
I mean, was Gerrard's tackle as bad as De Jong's one in the summer?
In a game of such magnitude, you don't make decisions based on 50-50. It must be clear cut.
Webb you are an utter c*nt!
Webb 1 Liverpool 0

Where d'ya think they nicked those then?
I said it earlier, but Liverpool fans aren't interested in fair refereeing.
They want a ref who lets their defenders kick us inside the box, and lets their midfielders go in two-footed on our players' legs.
They want a biased ref basically, to make up for the fact they're inferior to us.

Thanks - that's a no then!
Of course, RAWK don't let facts dictate their opinions.
still they harp on about bent this and bent that,
Not kneejerk, been thinking this for, i dont know .. about 14 years.
Anyway, if i owned LFC i would simply refuse to let my team play United every year. Sure they get 6 free points, big deal.
Sky loosing their big cash-cow of a match, twice, every year might mean the league will actually have to be flushed of corruption.

What idiots, 'with a different ref we'd have won comfortably' sorry, I must have missed the goals you scored Liverpool FC that you are required to achieve in order to win a football game.
Idiots.
Idiots.
Torres was awful. Miereles was awful. Maxi, Lucas and Kuyt were... well... awful.
Reina kept them in it and the young lad at RB did well. Gerrard was their best player until he stupidly got himself sent off. A 2 footer in the middle of the pitch which he didn't need to make.
We played like a team who knew we didn't have to be at our best to beat them. Had G
Hodgson still been manager he'd be getting pelters for the exact same performance. However as it's Kenny they'll be convincing themselves otherwise.

The delusion I'm hearing is astonishing. They created precisely feck-all. Smashed it from distance a few times
Although I have to disagree with the above, I thought Lucas was pretty good. I can't really tell the difference between him and Mascherano.

They must of watched a differant match to most of us , they looked like the same shit Liverpool ,but RAWK this differant.
You know what, we lost. But the transformation of effort, passion and pride of this side with just a few hours with kenny is massive.
We were always going to tire int he second half, Lucas looked dead on his feet around 87 mins. On another day, that free kick goes in and we take them back to anfield. These things happen.
I'm fecking proud of the lads who played all the 90 today. Massive, massive pride. That was more like it and i'm actually feeling massively positive about the rest of the season.
At the end of the day, it's Howard Webb 1, us 0. Again

Other than their freekick just outside our area from Aurelio, did they force PIG into a save??
This is brilliant, I'm dying of laughter here:
It's amazing how highly they rate Kelly's performance. He got arse-raped by Giggsy throughout the game and yet they think he's done some kind of wonders in this game...
