Liverpool (H) Post Match Thread

[KDBtojesus]

Late here but this was huge no doubt a defeat and it could have been seen as pretty much over. 4 point gap and it’s neck and neck again. Got to think Liverpool drop points elsewhere but no longer can we afford to drop any points to the teams we shouldn’t.

The important bit is that some did not even think it was a foul in the first place which is was ridiculous.

I didn't, and having just seen it again a couple of times, I still don't, its an opinion anyone is entitled to have, and its not "ridiculous".

Of course we are all different and on occasions see things differently, but gen question, why do you not think it was a foul?

Virtually all calls are subjective.

And you're entitled to think that Vinny's challenge was not card-worthy.

Yet, I can't help but feel that your assessment is biased - let's say that VVD charged into Sergio Aguero at full speed - leaped into the air - and then, studs up, one foot extended, managed to win the ball, as Aguero leaped out of the way of a possibly career-ending challenge.

Excessive force? No card? Yellow? Red?

I think that the Yellow against Vinny was the correct call - and as the NBC pundits stated - it was very close to a Red.

Why was it a near Red? And why for me was it a clear Yellow? Because I do not want this sort of tackle occurring. I want to discourage challenges that might well result in serious injury to opponents - whether or not the ball is won.

Clearly Vinny won the ball - the question now is, do you think that Vinny might have seriously injured Salah?
===
Edit - and regardless of my preferences - it's the rules of the game that apply - and the rules of the game mandate a card for overly aggressive challenges - possibly causing injury to an opponent.

Anyone got a link to the full game ?

That clearance from Stones was nearly a goal, but the simple fact is, it wasnt. I thought the tackle on Aguero was far worse and Sterling should have had a penalty. We didn't get them and fortunately Taylor made the correct decision with Vinnies tackle.

Are you quoting the proper post?

City fans are biased ....get used to it.

Why shouldn't we be?

I'm not keen on the sanitisation of football, he went only for the ball, he got the ball, and it wasn't in the least bit dangerous to salah.
