Although Maguire bottled it at the end. Maybe Zirkzee should’ve been greedy and shot.

Very good game though.

Think Amad (?) was offside from the initial pass, so wouldn't have counted even if Maguire had converted.

McGuire chokes.

But what's he doing that far out front in the first place?

Very entertaining game though, opened up in the second half.

Very true and I’m looking at the replay, Zirkzee played him a **** pass

Maguire loves to take a little wander forward at the end of games.
But yes, for the neutral this was quite entertaining.
It's time for 5 refs.

It was off a United corner. Pool started to break and Ugarte put it right back up the pitch so Maguire was still hanging around up there.

Some reports that Van Dijk and Trent were going at each other after the game.

Also, Salah confirmed he's leaving?

Wouldn't surprise me. There were several moments in yesterday's match were the camera caught van Dijk yelling at him while and shaking his head.

Make no mistake about it, TAA's play was poor, and likely cost LFC the win.

I could see Salah and/or Van Dijk just signing with Bayarn or Real Madrid on a free and collect a few trophies and paychecks to end their careers. They still have some years left.

I cannot see either going down that route.

If I was betting man, based on what both Salah and van Dijk having been saying, they'll sign a new contract with Liverpool. TAA, on the other hand, will leave.

I don’t think we have a FA cup thread but this Tamworth vs Tottenham game is entertaining already.

Joke of a performance, that, scraping through against non-league opposition. Got your lot away next, tough tie.

I think your players sold out Ange with that performance.

It should be a good tie, I wonder if you guys go full strength when you have the EFL cup semi around the same time.

I’m hoping for a better performance against you guys, the last two have been woeful.

We can't score a goal.

49 shots in the last 3 games, 1 goal.

What the actual ****

I think I might stick some money on Nottingham Forest to win the title lol they seem unstoppable at the moment.

I don’t know why teams are trying to dominate possession against them, I think teams can beat them if they play counter attacking football.

But fair play to them they’ve done really well.

I'm almost reluctant to say it, but is it possible that Forest could do a Leicester this season? They're in a remarkable position and are currently leading against Liverpool.

I think Murillo might be my favourite player in the league this season what a signing for them

Tsimikas is so much better at putting corners in than Trent or Robbo. It's almost unbelievable.
