If we score wilst thay (V A R) are still looking at it will the goal stand and get a pen?

Yes in my opinion we should, but the officials would have to make something up.

I would guess, the VAR would assume and advantage and decide not to refer it to the referee, pretty certain we wouldn’t get both.

It seems obvious to me why Klopp is getting a free(ish) ride among Liverpool fans and the press when Potter isn't! Klopp has a load of goodwill as they've been excellent for four years, and they're clearly in the process of rebuilding, and Potter has taken over a team from a manager who had some goodwill, has made things worse, and looks out of his depth and out of ideas.

And on top of all that, he's a right Plonker !

Excellent performance much to the commentators chagrin, Mowbray and Janus both a pair of arseholes. City let their football do the talking.

I think Mowbray is by far the best of a bad bunch on MoTD tbh

Shame we can't play them every week.

Mahrez brilliant.

Mahrez should not take penalty ever again! He doesn't look at keeper before dispatching the nall

Are you saying we'd have been pissed off if that first penalty had been given against us?

Did you actually see it? It was BLATANT handball (looked deliberate to me), and the defender should have been booked for it.

I didn’t see it when it happened at the game yesterday but it was 100% a penalty. Good spot for once by VAR and it didn’t take long for the referee to agree. It was deliberate and like you say should have been a yellow card.

I don't recall any claims for the handball at the game. It was a bit like the mystery penalty awarded by VAR at Spurs in the CL. At least we scored this one.

Halfway through the second half I thought Chelsea were doing a good job defending their three goal deficit.

Mowbray is very good. Did MotD for the QPR game and the recent Derby.

I think it was more that City were just kicking the ball around as at a training session, conserving energy, content with keep-ball. Then they got bored and got a fourth.
