Shows how bad Liverpool were/are.

Even taking into account the shite decisions, I think we still win this game 7 times out of 10.

Lost our way in the 2nd half but should have been well ahead by then.

Savinho isn't in the same league as Sterling ..... he's one of least effective players i've ever seen.

Savinho?

 

[FogBlueInSanFran]

Converted the Pope?

Well, if the Norse god of war had taken it . . .

 

[makinghistory]

4 points is a long way ?

Exactly. And we are all assuming Arsenal will win. Stupid.

Phil Foden was clearly fouled in the area.
They were offside for their 2nd goal.
Those are issues that need to be addressed

But will get a two week media post mortem on those decisions? Like hell, we will.

Was it Arsenal when they Eddie collided with someone (Saka?) after the shot went wide and penalty given?

It was. Early 2023. We won the game 3-1, but that pk brought it bCk to 1-1.

Such inconsistencies based on the colour of your shirt imo.

A tough loss to take. We should have scored more, we also gave up too many big chances.

Just not good enough against any decent team away from home.

That being said, the officials were a mess today, how he didn't give us a penalty today I do not know. For me the foul on Foden is absolutely blatant and a huge game changer.

Oh that is being far to lenient.
I accept we were poor today, it could easily have been 2-1 inside 10 minutes (thanks Donna - who I wasn't convinced was a great signing).
The officiating was an UTTER disgrace though. You have:
the penalty - which I've mentioned elsewhere was, mysteriously, never mentioned after the initial review
the inability to control persistent fouling by one team by use of cards
the offside that never was - although we didnt see ANY evidence until well after the VAR decision was made
the card to Bobb for a first foul 10 minutes after he came on.
Did we deserve to win - probably not. But it HAS to be a level playing field and today certainly was NOT

Definitely onside

Live in Perth might start watching Melbourne City or cricket

Bad time to start watching cricket

 

[HelloCity]

Yet we were better when he went.

For a season.

Prime Sterling walks into our team.

Savinho is worse than Sterling...

You’re an idiot!! The disrespect to Sterling is ridiculous to even mention in the same breath!!

Sterling was great.

Fucked that up a bit, didn't we! Some shite play there, and we've played right into the narrative that no Haaland no win.

Although it seems Tonali and Joe Linton have some kind of diplomatic immunity to bookings apparently. One yellow between the two on 90 minutes, and I'm not sure how that happens.

The Foden penalty I accepted, he'd already played the ball. Until ten minutes later when he pulls play back ten passes to give a foul. Hmm...

its a foul even if the ball is away otherwise it would be ok to go in late on every tackle. Many similar tackles were penalised for us and them. All in fact except that one.

Games gone move on to the next that’s Tuesday which will be hard with the quick turnaround!

Only hope that’s the last game where we have officiating that badly because that was cheating pure and simple!

Mate. Your last paragraph. It won't be.

Can we threaten to sue PIGMol like a red top team constantly does?

It was cheating and nobody will say a word from City

 

[FogBlueInSanFran]

We can complain about the refereeing all we like but if we’re being honest that just wasn’t good enough. Our midfield went missing in the first half and our central defenders were all over the place.

We had a big opportunity today and weve just handed the initiative straight back to Arsenal.

Toon was playing a 4-5-1 for a good long while. Howe was not going to let us flood MF. That meant the space was wide, and we barely/rarely used it I felt.

 

[LesBleuMiserable]

We need a right winger

Semenyo?
