The shot from behind the goal (where it hits the camera) shows how pinpoint it was.
A couple of other really good chances (Elanga especially) that I was worried would come back to haunt Forest. Despite all their possession though, Liverpool did not look up for it towards the end.
Well Fuck me. Unbeaten this season. Must be my amazing match threads. 55 years since we won a league game at Spamfield. Shithousing and a very solid performance.
Ward Prowse is so deceptive. Does his job so quietly. There were some great interceptions and passes and I was asking myself who is that?
Moreno is a heartbreak waiting to happen. What a sexy performance and what a sexy man. Shady is no doubt determined to find a urinal to stand next to for a shifty peek. Salah had a bit of a malaria performance but we can also put that down to the sexy Spaniard. Aina on the other side was also excellent. He strangely plays much much better against the better teams. He needs to be pushed.
MGW was probably our most wasteful player with Elanga making some stunning passes. The best of course was for CHO’s goal.
Can we sell Sangare? As much as we want him to come good he is never going to be as good as our Ryan. Another incredible Shithousing entry to his pantheon.
Milenkovic is one seriously fucking good defender. He also makes Murillo solid much more solid. I bet you he fucking shreds his partner for even straying out of position. Whoever wanted him at Forest needs a private island in Greece.
I should be more apathetic when we have tough games. It makes the boys work that little harder. Because of course match Threads make the season go!
So Blofeld we so Bam Bammed your evil Scouse outfit. Nuno may not be fun but he might actually know what the fuck he is doing.
MOM: oooh hard. Elanga made the win but I think Goal Threat set the table. Dream boat was close as was Aina.
Chicago: Choo Choo!
Edit: This will upset the Myopic One but I thought Michael Oliver had an excellent game today.. (So I guess not all refs are shit...)
I know people say CHO is a one trick pony, but he's more of a FiFA cheat code I think.
I've seen him score the same goal multiple times, and someone always asks why do the opposition get wise to it?
Because it's not that easy I suspect. The keeper knows he's going to take it on his right and aim for the far corner, but they don't want to go early and allow him an easy shot to their left. It's his accuracy that makes him so dangerous; against the Blunts last season he had two sighters before hitting the target. Generally he doesn't even need that. So, with a pass like that from Elanga, with defenders out of place, especially Liverpool playing with a high line, he leaves the opposition little chance. The fact that he consistently scores right by the post is a keeper's nightmare. On a quick break he will always pose a threat despite the entire stadium knowing exactly what he wants to do.
Yesterday he skinned Bradley on the outside and nearly drew a penalty a minute or two beforehand. When Bradley let him cut inside for the goal he had coverage from a centre half (Konate) so it made sense, but Callum was able to use the centre half to screen the shot because he didn't close down quickly enough.
There will be days when he won't get the opportunity for that shot, but you only need the defence to mess up once. We'll see plenty of defences worse than Liverpool this season, even if Bradley looked pretty poor.
I think also that while we're rightly purring about the counter attack, Elanga's pace and pinpoint ball, and Hudson-Odoi's finish, we also should take a moment to appreciate Gibbs-White's intelligence and skill in creating the winner.
He offloads a ball deep inside his own half which was pinged at him while facing his own goal and marked, then sprints past Elanga and across towards CHO. MGW clearly knows (like half the ground) what CHO wants to do, so makes a perfectly-timed late run across him to create the space he needs to place the shot inside the far post, while unsighting the goalkeeper and slowing the centre half's progress towards the ball to block.
In this clip, Morgan clearly thinks for a split second that the ball has struck the post and missed before realising it's in.
