@hallenbeck @richardwoods @coys @spurs 100%, yes. It's uncanny reading your description of your current situation and feeling the deja vu! (We need not to be getting it so bad this season, but remain baffled that Grealish is supposedly fouled four times as much as Salah!)

@hallenbeck @richardwoods @coys @spurs I agree on every part of that. As usual, rugby shows the way.
@richardwoods @hallenbeck @coys @spurs Agreed on the manner of it, but I don't think you can quibble too much with the substance. Amazing the difference it makes when you can see what the VAR people are seeing and hear what they're saying.
@hallenbeck @coys @spurs I'd need to watch the 90 minutes to have much chance of answering that. What I see NOW is extraordinary shot-stopping, superb control of the area, outstanding sweeping, comfort in possession, occasional magical long passes and even the odd goal! But I didn't know any of that about him when he signed. (I'm glad we have people for that!)
@hallenbeck @coys @spurs Very nice.
The most astonishing thing about Alisson's acquisision is that it came after Klopp had watched him concede five goals to #LFC in the Champions League! Smart to look past the scoreline.

@hallenbeck @coys @spurs How's his distribution?
I always think of Brian Clough (I'm showing my age now) saying that Peter Shilton was worth 15 points a season, and so well worth the fee that Forest paid.
@hallenbeck @coys @spurs For quite a few years now, Alisson and Ederson have been a class above the rest of the PL's goalkeepers. Based on this (admittedly cherry-picked) video, that top two might be on the way to becoming a top three.
@hallenbeck @coys @spurs Indeed. Before this season I'd already concluded it was a net negative to the game and should be scrapped. Nothing I've seen this year has even hinted at that not being the correct take.
@hallenbeck @coys @spurs i i wish that would do it!
The bitterness is, at leaat, not towards Spurs, who played well; but towards PGMOL, who did not.
@hallenbeck @coys @spurs I like how in that "season so far" video, the highlights of the Liverpool game cut straight to the guy saying "A win is a win" over and over ๐
