The Mailbox insists that Liverpool have proven that their 7-0 win over Man Utd was a ‘freak result and that there is no chance they can win by three goals at Real Madrid. Plus, VAR, Man City, Gary Lineker and lots more…

My, that schadenfreude tastes delicious
After the debacle of that freak second half last Sunday I pondered in the mailbox about Liverpool, “Will they raise their game as much against Bournemouth one wonders?”. Well that was a magnificent answer as clearly they could not, even with the help of some ropey officiating. How that was not a free kick to Bournemouth on the edge of the box and a Liverpool red card, late in the first half, is beyond me – the ref bottled it and VAR couldn’t intervene.
It’s one thing raising your game against United in your cup final, but if you can’t do it against your mid/lower table rivals then you’ll struggle to maintain a spot in the top 6.
Lucky that some Liverpool fans think beating Utd is better than winning a trophy. They are a solid Madrid performance away from that being the only thing they get to celebrate this season.

Freak?
Looks like the phrase “freak result” has made it’s way to Merseyside.
That’s what it is losing to Bournemouth, right Liverpool fans?
A freak result?

Hi Mailbox,
So, yes, it was a freak result.

Bournemouth 1-0 Liverpool
…and that, my dearest Reds friends, is why we don’t over celebrate a single victory.

My lad asked for my score prediction today just as the game kicked off. I said 2-1 Brighton. He disagreed & said about our recent run, last weeks game, our strikers being full of confidence & basically how everything pointed to a Liverpool win. My explanation was simply “it’s a Saturday lunch time kick off on and we never play well in that slot”. Why is it that as a fan I can see that? I’ve seen it time & time again, not just this season but for most of klopp’s time at Liverpool, so…. Why can’t our coaching staff see it & if they have (which you’d kinda hope they had what with it being their job) why haven’t they fixed it? That was one of the worst performances I’ve seen from them under Klopp, little effort, no confidence & no fight… the complete opposite to 6 days ago!…
