Couldn't have put it better. No need to have a meltdown over a fluke goal, which was a van Dijk touch away from being called offside.Their goal was a fluke error, put it to bed.

I'm still sceptical. I have managed to get behind him on occasion, shouting, 'come on Gini' only for him to have advanced 10 meters turn 180° and pass back 15 meters. Just can not help feeling he is in the wrong role for his skill set. Still not aware enough of what's around him or with the right mentality to go the full hog. Not a big worry but disappointing and frustrating at times. Just a bit more agression at times might do it but he hasn't convinced me he's an LFC 1st team candidate.Actually I was quite baffled by some of the praise Gino was receiving at the start of the season, however the last 5 or so games I've realised how good he has become.
Let's hang Caradoc.A single, flukey goal ......... the 4th in 10 games this season, the 1st at home .........
Find the bastard responsible and hang him ......... !

Actually, I think it was Scott Jones who broke the third rule of sports ("don't talk about the streak"). Clearly all his fault, although IMHO Moreno was his primary instrument.Let's hang Caradoc.
841 minutes without conceding at home with our record being 934,depending on how much injury time we could beat it today,fuck yeah.
I have a particular bias towards it, but I just love how difficult gini is to dispossess. It is probably the most vital skill in that role, and sometimes he makes it look like those videos of pros playing against a mob of children.From the games I've seen this season, Gini would be ahead of Henderson and Keita........by a long way.
I'd have been happy to see him off-loaded in the summer but the extra competition has given him the kick up the arse he needed. He's been our star man in midfield so far this season.From the games I've seen this season, Gini would be ahead of Henderson and Keita........by a long way.
@Scott Jones ... You *****. You are responsible for that goal? You brought an end to our home clean sheets? Shame on you. How do you plead?Actually, I think it was Scott Jones who broke the third rule of sports ("don't talk about the streak"). Clearly all his fault, although IMHO Moreno was his primary instrument.
He can't answer. Banned him for that, the twat.@Scott Jones ... You *****. You are responsible for that goal? You brought an end to our home clean sheets? Shame on you. How do you plead?
It was a blatant reckless lunge, and Virgil himself took responsibility and apologised after the game.I dont frequent the pre/post match threads too often, but dont recall seeing VVD receiving too much flak for his lunge the other week when he gave away a penalty.
Agree on Gini, very under rated and under appreciated.
Because Robertson - having not missed a game so far, and playing 180 minutes in the international break - needs a rest, and Moreno is the other left back we have? There is the young lad Adam Lewis, but if you can’t use your squad against Cardiff - who I think are the worst team in the division - when can you?Moreno must be blackmailing Jurgen because how he gets on that team sheet is baffling.
Lovren is an easy and popular target though.It was a blatant reckless lunge, and Virgil himself took responsibility and apologised after the game.
So the question is not why is this not discussed, but what is there to discuss in the first place. And neither is Van Dijk a player for whom errors are habitual, prompting pages and pages of ‘fucks sake - not again’ exclamations.
He's on of the best CB's in the world at the moment apparentlyLovren is an easy and popular target though.
He's been very decent for some time now, but it's as if people are continually poised for any opportunity to have a pop.
Well, it's in the human nature to trust less the players who've proven more than once that they are prone to errors like Moreno, Mignolet or Lovren.Lovren is an easy and popular target though.

Yeah but.....Lovren is an easy and popular target though.

I agree with you, except for the part that our defence is good with Moreno. I like the lad, but as long as we don't play 3 at the back with double six, he will always be a weak point in our style. He is a potent weapon while attacking, but needs someone to cover him all the time.Well, it's in the human nature to trust less the players who've proven more than once that they are prone to errors like Moreno, Mignolet or Lovren.
I believe Lovren has improved very much even last year when he had maybe 3 not so good games and a shocker at Spurs and is underrated (yes you read that right) by the Liverpool fans, because of the mistakes he made (most of them while playing alongside Sakho).
He had some very very solid games last year and I'd like to think that maybe he can win back some of the fans. Also a very good header of the ball and threat from corners.
I think our back line is very ok with gomez, vd, lovren, robertson, taa, clyne and even moreno.
The problem for Moreno is that he is night and day when compared to Robertson. Robertson's positional play is far better and his attacking contributions are also on another level. He is also calmer upstairs.I agree with you, except for the part that our defence is good with Moreno.

Yes, I didn't mean that the defence is good with moreno, but more like the defence - overall - that includes moreno as a backup even after clyne is ok. No way I would like him to start for us he is a clear liability, but against LESSER teams he could also bring something new attacking wise even if he is a clear two levels below robertson.I agree with you, except for the part that our defence is good with Moreno.

I think the problem with lovren is that even when he is playing well he still will brain fart regularly which recently he has got away with. Even when he is playing well I'm always just waiting for that fuck up. Just not good on the auld tickerSorry, but the flip side of genuine criticism is genuine praise. If you call a player out for making a series of poor mistakes and question his ability then you should be equally keen to acknowledge his improved performances and offer encouragement. If you can’t do that then it is highly questionable that your criticism was genuine in the first place. Its that simple for me.
Lovren has played exceptionally well over the past 7 months or so and has probably not made any more mistakes than VvD. I’m delighted for him. Unfortunately for Lovren, whilst he has been out injured, young Gomez has really emerged and Lovren has a fight on his hands. That has to be good for LFC.
I wouldn't call Robertson cool or calm but he is elecric and bloody good. Will that do you?not anti Moreno, but I think the lad is a jinx. whenever he gets to play, we concede. Added to that, I don't think he is a defender, more a brain fart headless run around lad that can kick a ball. In defense we need a cool calm lad who doesn't panic too often and easily
I'd rather play Gomez or Milner at left-back in case of an injury to Andy.Yes, I didn't mean that the defence is good with moreno, but more like the defence - overall - that includes moreno as a backup even after clyne is ok. No way I would like him to start for us he is a clear liability, but against LESSER teams he could also bring something new attacking wise even if he is a clear two levels below robertson.
Of course, being one injury away of seeing him play regularly is making me a little nervous.

It's you.is it me or does Shaq look like John Belushi
For me, he would make a good Napoleon. His French-Swiss accent, diminutive stature, combative nature and strategic brain. I could easily imagine him with his hand slipped just inside the zip of his tracksuit top surveying his army with a critical eye.is it me or does Shaq look like John Belushi
