Klopp out-tacticced Pep at half-time

How?
I swear, looked at them non stop, ball on the right for Arnold who throws it behind the lines for Mane/Salad, ball on the left for Robertson who throws it behind the lines for Salad/Mane.
They played their similar primitive tactics, they just caught us sleeping when the second half started.

And their first goal came after a long play without the ball going out to check the possible penalty for us.

How? We battered them in the first half and the second half was totally different. Klopp adjusted. Pep stayed as was and it clearly was not the same game. FFS, the first 25 after the break was night and day to that masterclass in the first half. That's how. FFS.

Klopp changed tactics 2nd half and went for it pushing more players forward with the high press . They got fucked 20 minutes into the 2nd half and the big toothed cunt had to bring on about 7 subs .

[City64]

That rag cunt Anthony Taylor can fuck off aswell dippers should have been down to 9 men

[london blue 2]

Personally thought Bernie was ace today, and what about that Laporte tackle on Jota!

[carl_feedthegoat]

For those fans who wanted Sterling to start this match -

Hang your ugly heads in shame !

Don’t know how many times it needs to be said but he’s a little goal shy twat when he plays in big matches , especially dipper matches (he was also shit in other areas of the pitch today as well )
Lastly , what the absolute FUCK was he thinking when he just stopped with the ball in their penalty area and they just calmly took it off him whilst he stood there like a fucking mannequin!!! JC ? Can you explain why your pin up player did this ?

Fucking shit head he is and I hope to fuck we sell
him in the summer .

And so to bed - the treble lives on - an inch of flesh separated Sterling from the glorious winner Carl

Just looking at the VAR images of the offside that are circulating on social media. How on earth can they be 100% certain that he was offside. Look at matips feet. Not clear and obvious. The VAR review was very swift.
They didn't take very long to make up their minds.

What ever happened to being level? Or giving the attacking player the benefit of the doubt.
Maybe those factors only apply to certain teams.

I don't think he adjusted, to be honest. We started sleeping on our feet the second half and they took advantage, then we had the hangover for about 10 minutes, then we went for their neck. After Jota missed, when we were still semi-sleeping, we started taking the game in their half and never looked back.
Their adjustment was Anty Taylor.

Fine margins. I said before the game without the officials getting involved, we win. It shouldn't have to come to that, but we all know it does. Thought Bernie was excellent. Steeling should be nowhere near a start against these though. Pep still playing the long game trying to manage both scouse and madrid games. I expected Grealish to start. A point keeps us in front and we move on to the Wanda in giod shape

No offence dude, I think you're contradicting yourself. Not sure Pep has been outclassed, all I can say he's substitution need to come earlier, I'm not sure if it's hesitancy or stubborness.

How good was Laporte - 2 unbelievable tackles and superb on the ball all game.

[Hazy2]

What a game. Draining. Good day 3 points would have been perfect. Onwards to Madrid and Wembley.

[Original Dub]

Just watched the extended highlights again there... Jesus had some first half - he was behind absolutely everything, along with KDB.

Sterling... FFS. Jesus laid it on a platter for him.

In saying that, I've looked at the lines for his "offside" goal several times and I still can't see how they came to such a decision so quickly. At worst, his shoulder is in line with the defenders foot.

Also, WHERE THE FUCK IS THE FOOTAGE FOR ALLISON ON JESUS?? Did I imagine that whole coming together because it was never shown again??

Basically, we were robbed. Again. Good job we're used to it.

[ayrshireblue]

Should have been 4-2, Sterling's disallowed goal is not what VAR was brought in for, it's within the margin of error whether he's on or off and Foden's disallowed goal was never a free kick. On Foden's one though MOTD2 didn't even show it nevermind analyse whether the tackle was a foul or not.

So it's not just me that dreamed that one up? Jesus got in between Van Dijk and Allison and although he didn't get control of the ball he was cleaned out by Allison so should have been a penalty and possible red card.
When Foden put the ball in the net there was a foul given against Jesus I think but again never shown again.

Spot on, the Sterling goal was such a fine margin you've surely got to give the benefit to the attacker.
If that's allowed and it's the winner he's a hero along with Jesus the one who can never score in big games apparently.

[london blue 2]

The offside was nonsense. I was gassed as a sterling winner vs those lot would have been beautiful.

I'm yet to see replays of the found before Phil scored and the penalty incident, and I can't get my head round why they wouldn't be shown...

Liverpool are the luckiest team in the Premier league, they're good but we are so much better.
