I totally agree about "contact". On the other hand I would completely ban fouls when using your hands like pulling, pushing, wrestling, holding and so on. I thought the rules allow using your BODY, not your HANDS. It has gone over the years, sadly.im getiing feckin fed up about the word " contact" when it comes to pen decisions. Seems to me its a word the media started to use a few seasons ago after there was talk of penalising, even retrospectively deliberate diving. if they want to carry on using "contact" it should be preceeded by "enough". Every pen should be var'd with that in mind and if its a no, then consider booking the diving twat.
Yes, Dias tugged or made "contact", but what followed was a deffo dive.

Liverpool look very flat at Anfield and the stats say it all. They are the first side to lose three straight home matches the season after winning the title since Chelsea in March 1956 and have 27 points fewer than they did at the same stage last season - the biggest drop by any reigning champions in top-flight history.

I wonder if the dippers will have to ask us if they can borrow our trophy for a few hours to do their parade for last season?I think he was suggesting we couldn’t win it with fans in the stadium... which is still hilarious cos as you said, we have done 4 times
Fixed.After what Thiago did to Gundogan, De Jong would have been sent off today.
And Thiago would have been sent to the morgue.
