After another disappointing home result against Southampton, The Anfield Wrap gets stuck right into the issues beguiling this Liverpool side.
Melissa Reddy, Ben Johnson and Gareth Roberts wonder about Divock Origi, contemplate where Gini Wijnaldum disappeared to and ask all the questions about Liverpool’s lack of tempo and hesitant approach.
And they even get stuck into the referee for once.
Hosted by Neil Atkinson this is the final word on a game which wasn’t Liverpool’s finest hour. Everything any Liverpool supporter needs.
Direct: The Anfield Wrap – Liverpool Draw Another Blank As Saints Survive Anfield Test
Fine podcast lads. You’ve made me feel better. Off to the pub!
I was screaming at the screen when that grock stood in Millie’s kipper intimidating him. I was shouting about the fuckin divvy Reds who were all stood there doing fuck all about it. It’s the stupidity of our lads that gets me, like with the free-kicks awarded to the opposition earlier this season when no fucker had the sense to stand over it to prevent the quick one. If the ref is not going to stop their goalie doing that, then take action and force him to intervene. Three or four go up to Millie, have him pick the ball up from the spot and step behind a wall of red men who then start to slowly step forward. The goalie either steps back or ends up pushing someone in the red wall. Even that divvy Madley has to take action, especially if the red man than goes down theatrically. Disrupt what the Grock is doing, take action and turn the situation to our advantage. Stop being friggin pussies for fucksake!
Couldn’t agree more. How our players could just watch their captain being intimidated like that and do absolutely nothing about it spoke volumes. The club has had more than its fair share of hard bastards who would have sorted Forster out in seconds but the current crop are pussy cats in comparison. The fact that only Coutinho tried to do something should be a wake up call for the rest of them. Well done Phil, he’s got bigger bollocks than the rest put together.
‘Bobby’ Madley used to ref my junior football games in Dewsbury. Always remember being particularly abject one game and him awarding me MoM, and he used to get tortured by lads on mini moto bikes. Shit then, shit now.
