Anyone else notice this.....the trainer came on when Rashford went over for the penalty.... aren't you supposed to leave the pitch after you've received treatment.......?

I didn't notice it but something sinister is afoot in the game of English football.

I'm biased but I thought the team deserved two penalties in the first half i.e. Lindelof and Fred. I later learned Michael Oliver was the VAR official. It got me thinking; what goes through the mind of a man who denies what is obvious to many. Has he been compromised in some way i.e. blackmail?

I texted my lad that two pens had gone begging! He said the first one hit the Rag's chest, and the second wasn't handball, but the third just on halftime? He's still laughing, particularly at the accompanying explanation as to why it wasn't a pen!

Dont think the scousers result helped

Agreed, it may have put that extra bit of pressure on the players. Plenty of fight as usual but the rags matched this and caused us to be nervous.

I still think it's all Gundogan's fault personally.

For the "Einstein's" somebody has to pay. Alas, its poor Gundogan.

Felt like a carbon copy of the wolves game.

Back 4 seemed so exposed. We just aren’t learning it seems.

Agreed - where was our midfield in a defensive sense?

Still seething at our lack of ability to change tact when opponents set up as they did. We waste so many chances it’s shocking.

No ,he was just pissed that we sent a letter complaining about him. Probably not the smartest decision in hindsight. He probably thought fuck you, you'll regret that.

No defensive plan. Just like Wolves. Too many influential players injured or gone. Just not our season but after last 2 years I can live with that.

I'm gutted but the stats above are not that of a piss poor performance, more that we are just not taking the chances created and we all know the defence is suspect at present. We've had 2 fantastic years and we all knew it couldn't last. Pep will learn from this and I'm confident there will only be one team above us in May.

VAR is killing us and we all knew that was a possibility and so it is proving.

Leicester will play it exactly the same way

And livarpool haven’t visited yet.
