THE SUPER CLARETS vs Liverpool - Match Thread

[box_of_frogs]

Sadly it’s a penalty all day long

[Casper2]

Hannibal knew how stupid he was

[ClaretAndJew]

Yet another "giant" club celebrating like they e won the ******* world cup for scoring a cheat penalty against a ten-man small club.

A cheat penalty? He had his hands about 3 meters away from his body.

[AfloatinClaret]

Heartbreaking

[RalphCoatesComb]

You're not allowed to compete against the TOP teams !

Again, we deserved a point and come away with nothing

[Venkys4eva]

100% penalty.. What an idiot

[ollieclarets8]

Those 2 points lost from these 2 games will come back to bite us, you can just tell.

[Casper2]

Yet another "giant" club celebrating like they e won the ******* world cup for scoring a cheat penalty against a ten-man small club.

Why was it a cheat penalty?

[fanzone]

His team mates should absolutely lambast him for that decision.

I thought Antony’s was bad at United but that was pathetic

[SalouClaret]

Why are people making out as though that shouldn't have been a penalty? clearest penalty you'll see!

[burnleymik]

We did so so so well. We really deserved something from that.

What a shift from the lads. Hold their heads high. Proud of them.

[tarkys_ears]

They'd have found a way to give them a penalty if it want that, it'd be something else

[ollieclarets8]

You're not allowed to compete against the TOP teams !

He was going to give a penalty the longer the game went on. Had it not been then it would have been a minute later.

[criminalclaret]

Brain-dead from Hannibal after a masterclass of superb defending.

Can't quite believe we didn't get anything from that. 2 on the trott absolute moronic things to do in your own penalty box in the dying seconds

[BurnleyFC]

Hannibal is in his own head.

Brain dead.

[Inchy]

Feel sorry for Hannibal. Just unlucky. No doubt it was a pen.

Bloody crap

[ralph8]

Hannibal has not got the temperament for the premier league-Scott knows hence the deadline day signing.

[SalouClaret]

They'd have found a way to give them a penalty if it want that, it'd be something else

Like when Kerkez got booked in the first half for diving in the box? It's a horrible way to lose, but get a grip.

[criminalclaret]

If anyone here actually contests that penalty as some sort of conspiracy then you must be brain-dead football fans. Absolutely stone wall peno completely down to Hannibal

[AfloatinClaret]

Nothing like 5 minutes. Should have been around 3 minutes tops.

Take the specs off, Anthony was down for longer than that

[Clive 1960]

Just like the utd game a player does something silly when are they going to learn..

[Ampth7]

Such a shame! However, that’s twice now two players have made stupid decisions which has cost us points! Not good enough on both occasions and no excuses…..

[ollieclarets8]

Brain-dead from Hannibal after a masterclass of superb defending.

Shocking, but the ref would have given them a penalty after anyway. He loved the sending off.

[Casper2]

He was going to give a penalty the longer the game went on. Had it not been then it would have been a minute later.

Pathetic statement

[willsclarets]

God I hate this game sometimes. And the premier league all the time. It's the inevitability of this crap. You could've put a grand on them getting a goal from somewhere and be certain you'd win

[Clarets86]

I can’t believe anyone thinks there’s any sort of conspiracy here. It’s as nailed on a penalty as you will ever see. Ridiculous from Hannibal. He knows he is in the area, why is he moving his arms anywhere.

Hard to take, but once again we’re our own worst enemies, don’t give a decision to make

[ollieclarets8]

Pathetic statement

I don't give a toss.

[RVclaret]

I just can’t believe what I’ve seen. For the second game running. Proud but angry.

[Burnley87]

At least Antony offers something in a game he offers nothing every week in goal or assists or in his general play to say he should even be in the squad. Awful footballer

[Casper2]

Feel sorry for Hannibal. Just unlucky. No doubt it was a pen.

Bloody crap

It wasn’t unlucky, it was stupidity.

[munkyennui]

He jumps to block. Arm is natural position. Its blasted at him with no time to react. Big club pen, we won't get those. Big Les is off for second yellow, first yellow should not happen because of the foul on Ekdal before. Like I said small inconsistencies in their favour and then late on he gives that ****.

[Conroy92]

Anthony's was a dubious penalty but that was one all day long.
After such an incredible performance that one hurts.

[ollieclarets8]

I just can’t believe what I’ve seen. For the second game running. Proud but angry.

I'm gutted. I never expected anything from both games, but to lose in that fashion is gutting.

[SydneyClaret]

Unlucky today but don’t forget who we were playing. Current Champions, probable champions this season and we almost held them. We will play a lot worse opposition this season.

[Woodleyclaret]

So why did Kerkez not get a second yellow for hauling down Anthony?

[Taffy on the wing]

Hello, good evening and welcome to "spot the Scapegoat!"

[warksclaret]

Hannibal has not got the temperament for the premier league-Scott knows hence the deadline day signing.

Have to agree-he doesn’t think and trying the impossible as well puts the team under pressure

As Carragher described him, brain dead
Saw enough of Luis to know he must start

[mikeS]

After holding them for over 90 minutes Totally gutted.

[expoultryboy]

Why did he turn his back in the first place ?

[ralph8]

I go with stupidity

[criminalclaret]

He jumps to block. Arm is natural position. Its blasted at him with no time to react. Big club pen, we won't get those. Big Les is off for second yellow, first yellow should not happen because of the foul on Ekdal before. Like I said small inconsistencies in their favour and then late on he gives that ****.

You my friend are blind His arms were down at the side and then he thought he was Dubrovka. It was lunacy

[Procrastinate B]

Feel for Hannibal, despite that moment of madness.

[ALP]

Overall that was one of the very best defensive performances I have ever seen, completely smothered Liverpool time and again.

No way was that a second yellow though, there had been other fouls that were worse with nothing given, maybe Oliver was keen to help out?

The penalty was just daft from Hannibal, but it happens.

Onwards we go.

[Poulton-le-Claret]

Played so well and then Hannibal chucks it all away. Stupid.

[ralph8]

Sky comments.
Roy Keane - moment of madness.
Jamie Carragher - Brain Dead.

[Lu-tze]

Parker did so well to set us up so well to get something from that game but have to say when Cullen went off and he left Les on despite being on a yellow I was hoping it wouldn’t come back to bite us.

Also I do like Hannibal but we know he’s got that moment of madness in him.. maybe not the type of game to bring him on with hindsight..

Hey ho bodes well for the season though that we contained them so well. UTC

[Ampth7]

Unlucky today but don’t forget who we were playing. Current Champions, probable champions this season and we almost held them. We will play a lot worse opposition this season.

I don’t think Liverpool win the league this year and they are nowhere near their best at the moment! We simply cannot throw games away like we have today and last week due to stupid decision making!

Such a shame after a terrific team effort, but we all know that Hannibal can be an absolute liability from time to time, so no real surprises in the end.

[Clarets86]

We all see things differently, but you’re seeing it incredibly differently to think his arm was anything like in a natural position

[Procrastinate B]

To add, I totally agreed with Hannibal’s exclusion today. Not the kind of game he should be participating.

[RVclaret]

This was a peak Dyche level defensive performance. Difference is we never had someone so brainless to give penalties away in the last seconds, and we’d grind the point. Unfortunately in this league you do need a point or two in games you don’t expect. And we’ve thrown away 2 in 2 weeks.
