The half and half scarves are out in force today.
Sky up to their usual great standards. so far an interview with the Liverpool manager and a Man city player :slap:

Unfortunately we just aren't a big enough story for them. The title is all but won and ManUre are rubbish.
Genuinely don't know how this is going to go is that Liverpool at full strength or not ?
Does any one have a stream for this game?
Quote from: DevonFFC on April 06, 2025, 01:58:37 PMDoes any one have a stream for this game?
https://sportshub.stream/ try them
Bit concerned with Muniz starting.
Seems to play much better as an impact sub, whilst Raul rarely looks the same off the bench

redditsoccerstreams.org always has streams
Arrrrgghhhh..... almost got that.
How TF did the VAR miss that?
We know Kavanagh is a flog but how do you miss the foul by Kelleher with the replay
there should have been a call on the challenge on robinson, but of course there is a call for liverpool moments later
Would be nice if refs were actually good at their job for once
ouch. was there a foul in the build up....maybe on muniz, but it wont be called
Damn
I have a feeling we are going to be torn a new one.
Quote from: akf on April 06, 2025, 02:14:53 PMouch. was there a foul in the build up....maybe on muniz, but it wont be called
That's the first thing I said to my wife, then the ref didn't make it easy by getting in the way.
oh dear. here we go again.
I wish we could play down the middle like that.
iwobi is looking a bit off the beat again. wayward passing - i hope he turns in a couple flashes of brilliance.
very poor start but not helped again by a poor ref so far.
who was dispossessed by macallister that led to the goal?
looked a bit too easy for them with no subsequent closing down

there was a distribution to Muniz on the half line, he was being manhandled, no call. the ref then got in the way of berge or iwobi (cant recall) trying to make a play..
he's one of our own!!!!
SESSSSSSSS
Yeesssss!!!! Sessss!!!!!!
One of own, one of our own!
Lovely Sess.
Sess!
HE'S ONE OF OUR OWN!
What. A. Finish!!
Think we've looked sharp
That's what we've been missing!

i only saw the replay viewing from the centre circle and didn't see any of that
get in sess !!!
I don't think we have the right personnel on the pitch for today.
We need to transition quickly and hit their full backs on the break. We are playing too slowly and allowing Liverpool to get everyone behind the ball and high press us back to the goalkeeper.
Need Traore on for Andreas. He can hug the left wing and bring Iwobi into the centre.
I still think that for a big lad Muniz goes over a bit too easily.
Long way to go yet but moving the ball forward, early ball in the box and things happen!
We just don't do enough of that!
there was no foul there on bassey - the player was leaning into him. it is not your responsibility to stop a player from falling if they are leaning on you/

Agree
Kellehrer looks sloppy, if we get traore on we can really force mistakes out of the goalie with adama's pace
Bassey is immense today
taking a minute to reflect and give thanks during this break for a corner... Kenny Tete is on the bench!
Oh yes!
Iwobi
Does this make us League Champions?
IWWWOOOOBBIIIIII!!!
2-1 ::scarf:: ::scarf:: ::scarf::
IWOBI!......!!!!
GET IIIIIIIN

All the tourists have gone a tad quiet.
Yeeeees
Keep playing on the front foot, it's working!!!
Attack,attack,attack
Oh yes, yes, yes!
Get in!!!
GET INNNNN!!!!! MUNIZ MUNIZ MUNIZ
What skill, phenomenal.
SUPERB!!!!!! MUN!!!!!!ZZZZZ
Muniz for nothing and Yer Chicks for Free ::scarf::
Oh yesssss!
3-1 yeeeees
Yessssss..Let's give them 6 of the best.
goal of the season - what a move!
what control from muniz
and a great finish under pressure
Wow
No sitting back lads, attack, attack.
F me we scored 3 goals in 1 half, cant remember us scoring 3 in a game this year
Best defender in the league has just been schooled. Get in!!!!!
Don't drop off. They are struggling with our press here.
So ferry 'cross the Thames
'Cause this land's the place I love
And here I'll stay
I don't think we have ever beaten Liverpool 10-1, before.
Phew! keep it going but lets have some composure on the ball please!
Keep pressing, they're rattled.
So weak from VVD - Muniz taught him an absolute lesson.
PLEASE keep this up. Another goal before HT would be the dagger ::scarf::
though not on the scorers list, i think andreas is having a very good game so far. loads of energy, influence

Maybe I'm just in a good mood because my AFL team just broke a hoodoo - winning away at a side we'd lost 14 of the last 15 to!
Muniz has taken a few heavy hits today.

Yeah I know, nothing at all to do with how well we've played.
at some point that little yellow piece of plastic has to come out...
I'm usually fairly "realistic" & "grounded" - but had a highly unusual positive feeling about the game today. Might only get this feeling 2-3 times in a season.
Maybe it's just because I'm not back at work until Wednesday so can watch this live ::beer::
Superb half from us. Berge and one of Bassey/Andersen should have done a bit better for their goal, but it was still a superb strike tbf (although there was a foul on Muniz before they took the ball frok us). We should have had a penalty as well, but Kavanagh has been sh*t as usual.
3 superb goals from us and we kept on attacking which is very positive. More of the same in the second half.
What was Van Dijk crying about? Muniz was simply too strong for him.
Nice to see the lads playing on the front foot after a couple of below par perfomances. Let's hope we go on to win and have this as a start to a good run in ::scarf::
For someone who gets stick from a few all the time,Andreas has been superb.

The ref has let too many Liverpool rough house challenges go. I am yelling at the screen which means it is true.

Back at 4 2 3 1....Sess starting ,it made sense. Much prefer us when we play our own game and take it to teams no matter who they are.
Muniz on fire. What a player he can be on his day,strong and instinctive ,bullied Van Dijk for the goal.love to see it after a stonewall penalty waved away
Thought we were the better team before their goal. Way too much time for Macallister but aside from that we've been brilliant. Should have had a pen as well for the kallagher challenge.
Bassey absolutely immense. Robinson and Iwobi looking dangerous on the left and that goal just sums everything up about Sess.
They've fouled Muniz a tonne of times and given him nothing but kept going and what a bit of skill and finish.
AP s lead of the press has been absolutely superb. We have to not drop off and keep that press going as that is what is giving us success.

Bloody oath, my friend! Jack Macrae been an unreal pickup and great to see some moments from all the young lads
If we keep the pressure up in the second half one of the liverpool players is getting sent off, they're getting frustrated already
I absolutely love Muniz. We're one of the best teams in the league when the opposition comes to play. We can talk about our issues against a low block another day, because this is fantastic.
We must keep attacking and get the 4th and close out this game. Also, I really don't want any stress!
Muniz is just magic sometimes. What a superb goal.
Resurgence of Sess has been something to behold too.
Hope they laintain the momentum in attack. Get another and it is game over.
Quote from: AustrianGeezer on April 06, 2025, 02:59:51 PMIf we keep the pressure up in the second half one of the liverpool players is getting sent off, they're getting frustrated already
One of them certainly should be but Kavanagh has been reluctant to even call the fouls his little darlings have committed. As for the penalty shout, well he was never going to give that.
Stating the bleeding obvious here!
Don't concede in the first 10 mins of the 2nd half.............. Pleaseeeeee!
I hate to be a pessimist but this has 3-4 written all over it as they bring on quality off the bench.
This ref ought to have booked 1 or 2 of their players but hasn't and that would have kept them thinking twice about their next tackles.
But I have had some genuine joy watching that half. Some magical moments in Sess and Muniz's goals.
Muniz really is so unpredictable. If only he could become consistent he could be world class.
They've got some strong attacking talent on the bench.
Surely this is the sort of game Adama might have some moments coming on if Liverpool are pressing to get back in the game
Oh a yellow for a Fulham challenge, what a surprise.
Typical Kavanagh, ignores almost all Liverpool fouls and doesn't give them yellows for the ones he does call and then gives us a yellow for our first foul in the second half
Good save Leno!
Sloppy !!!!!
He let Liverpool away with murder and first foul, a gentle tap he call a free kick in favour of the red team. He just let another fould go by Liverpool, lucky no goal.
so was jota offsides, but they still get a corner?
These first five mins of the second half....
and they take the throw with the second ball still on the pitch. just to show who is boss, i guess.
Once again no free kick
Kavanagh is an idiot
Kavanagh again....
Kavanagh is a total disgrace.
I hate no man or woman, but Kavanagh is getting close!
that is a broken wrist for muniz for certain.
Complete joke, if that was the other way around Liverpool would have got a free kick
Muniz is being kicked off the pitch
Jesus how is Kavanagh still reffing in the prem. Absolutely shocking.
Quote from: DannyM on April 06, 2025, 03:12:43 PMComplete joke, if that was the other way around Liverpool would have got a free kick

How can they make those subs when the ball is in play with Leno taking a goal kick?
Sess nearly

Have to say this is the best Inhave ever seen from Muniz. Not just the goal but his movement and determination.

nice way to obstruct berge again before that last shot. not much he could have done, but still pisses me off
I think Berge is having a cracking game
Quote from: Drewry66 on April 06, 2025, 03:13:08 PMJesus how is Kavanagh still reffing in the prem. Absolutely shocking.
He negotiated a long contract with Liverpool.
At bloody last Muniz is given a free kick.
Poor free kick from Andreas but that covering back was great.
Fulham backing off a bit now, need to get stuck in despite the ref who always goes against us.

A little too complacent at the moment.

he'll try and hang on and bring on reed
Should have been called back for the elbow dished out in the build up.....
Subs!
So van dijk elbows our player in the face and no penalty , they should be down to 10 men ...instead...3-2
Fresh legs time

if you are going for it yes. but if you want to hang on invite them onto you and maybe hope you can avoid defeat then shore it up look to reed instead.
not so sure esr's form gets him game time ahead of tc but thats silva for you. atraore coming on and tete
too close. need to get the ball back, get some good possession, and score again.
Harvey Elliot, the king of the Hair Don't's.
Might have to stop watching, don't know if my heart can take it ::cry::
We need to attack. Please don't throw this away
Welcome back King Kenny
We're asleep now
I would love to understand what's going through Marco's mind bringing on ESR in this situation.
What on earth is he thinking??
king kenny!!
Quote from: Twig on April 06, 2025, 03:40:41 PMWelcome back King Kenny

It was a bit OTT
Bassey putting in another great performance.
Reed, for his credit, had a good shot
Once again they get the foul
Where's the 6 minutes from?!
What happened in the second half that justifies 6 minutes added on?
where do they get 6 minutes?
Good save, Leno!!
Ok so now I'm trying to bite my toenails!
I've got a really bad feeling here..
The Lino gives us offside. Couldn't have read Kavanagh's memo!
wow - a good offsides call from the linesman.
Yessss great block and at last we get a decision
60 secomds plus liverpool time.
Blow the bloody whistle
Yessssss
Arne Slot your boys took a hell of a beating!
that has to be it!
Get innnnnnnnn
Free at last ::scarf::

Marco got the starting line up bang on!
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees
Great win! ::scarf::
Carragher's gone quiet. Probably gone off to spit at people from his car.
MotM - tough call with three different goal scorers. Bassey? Muniz? I thought Andreas was doing very will until he was replaced by ESR (on the balance of play, didnt agree wit that one). Lots of wayward balls today, but only had to pay for one - their second goal wasnt the result of sloppy passing on our part.
OMG this team really, really want to give me a heart attack. Get the F in!!! Massive, massive win. Love you Fulham so much.
::scarf::
Fulham, London Pride....now there's an idea, I've got a couple of cans of it in the fridge....🍺🍺
From feeling that the season was over, after that euphoric win we are now quite close to the Champions League places. I'm fairly sure won't finish in the top 5 as we haven't been up there at any point in the season, but this team and this manager will not go down lightly.
I am with Drewery, a nervous wreck for the last 10. Brilliant performance, hope for a few more before the end of the season. So pleased to see Sess play well, a few really good contributions today..
