Style rather than grammar IMHO. "Liverpool FC" is singular so "has" is actually correct, but they'd have been better saying "which" instead of "who".
May it not be because LiverpoolFC is a copyrighted name without the space?
I haven't checked, but it could be a reason.
Very interesting point! On balance I'd stick with "which" as legal personality is essentially a fiction, a paperwork device used for assigning responsibility and enabling remedies to be sought, rather than a reflection of a concrete fact. I accept that it could be argued either way though.
Love watching these.
Me too. Who was the city player who he gave the hug to at the end?
Count Quiff.
At least I put one up that works
mine worked at 8.44 am when I posted it. You should have been here!

I think our biggest problem in is in big games is when we take our big hitters off like Salah, the opposition feel they can then press forward as they don't have to worry about our attack..
Its a concern, though and hopefully Van Dijk can install some discipline where required at the back
But it still doesn't take away the fact we need more strength in midfield.. A Kante type player.. A Proper defensive midfielder..
Though if we are going to go Top heavy then when we take our big hitters off we need someone decent to come on to replace them, to give our opponents something new to think about..

It's a standard reply. Needs to be thought of this way : This video contains content from <user/account name>, who has blocked it on copyright grounds.
So if username = Phil it makes sense
There is so much to love in that video.
VVD and lovrens embrace.
The players taking their time to have a snap with the kids.
The goal celebrations.
The embraces with the City players.
Klopp throughout.
It's a great insight, love it.

This is embarrassing and a bit gay - but do you lot find yourselves thinking a lot about the game on Sunday, and the way we played for those 8 minutes where we just fucking raped them ? - I have thinking about that game constantly this week, on the train to work, at my desk, even when doing my work - I think my productivity has gone down by about 70% this week over the sheer overwhelming delight at the victory but also because how happy I was for Klopp and his methods. It was the game that I expected between these two teams, and the clip that some of you have posted after the event shows the great respect between the managers, and players. Its fucking brilliant - i wish all games could be like the one on Sunday. I was so fucking happy watching that game on Sunday - after so much tension and all the shit with Cuntinho leaving - it felt good and watching OX put that ball in - I just knew we were going to go for it.
FUCKING LOVE IT !!!!
FUCKING LOVE IT !!!!
You are not alone Moron.
This is quite insightful. Basically we made this an utterly miserable game for Fernandinho - he is a great player, but Buvac and Klopp were able to find and exploit areas of his game which don’t quite match up with Busquets, whose role he is supposed to replicate in Guardiola’s system. I wonder if other managers will pick up on this idea.
One thing the video doesn’t mention is the way we targeted Delph (and later Danilo). Not many teams were able to put City under enough sustained pressure to exploit their defensive shortcomings - but we could and those weaknesses were very clearly exposed. Usually that’s where the soft underbelly of Guardiola’s teams is located - somewhere around the converted midfielder playing at full-back or CB who is not used to doing too much defensive work due to his team’s general dominance.
I thought the use of Oxlade-Chamberlain was really clever - he was playing all over the pitch, but often ended up in the #10 spot, even though he is not your typical #10. His pace and athleticism gave us a crucial advantage over City midfielders who had their hands full with Firmino, Salah and Mane and just couldn’t afford to follow his movements - so he was often the free man on the ball (Gini too sometimes) and used that time onnthe ball effectively (more so than Gini).
I like how Gomez responded to his mistake - pretty much won every duel against Sane since that point. If he can learn to cut out ball-watching, he’ll be a beast of a defender. Can was incredible, especially considering that he was playing through illness. If he could sustain just 90% of that level of performance in every game, he’d be one of the best DMs around.
By the way, I thought even in defeat De Bruyne was magnificent. I was thinking during the game that watching him was like watching Zidane in his prime - you wait for his every touch and every move because you know there will be a fresh idea behind it (and the execution will be naturally flawless). What a player.

All our players turn up wearing suits AND carrying (non empty) suit bags. Do they have separate pre-match and post-match suits?
Awesome. Much better than some previous tunnel-cams I've seen because this one actually shows the goals but this time from different angles.
Haven’t written him off but have been very critical of him. We’ve conceded at least 4 goals as a result of his brain farts this season alone, which is quite a lot.
He has talent and ability. The hope is that he can cut those stupid ball watching / misjudgments out of his game, but the possibility of him not doing so is also there. Which would make his abilities meaningless for LFC. It’s a concern.
