Liverpool thread 2020/21

I’m not sure if I’ve misunderstood the rules but if you’re last man and make a genuine attempt to get the ball then it’s still only a yellow now instead of a red?

Two cases in point

1) Foden v Birmingham was brought down by the last man just outside the area and (which replays proved) and there was no free kick, no card and Birmingham actually got a goal kick

2) Cavani v Burnley was brought down by the last man outside the area and commentators said Burnley are lucky not to be down to 10
men.

Both genuine attempts for the ball.

Neither of your 2 examples are penalties though. If cavani had been brought down In the box it would have been a pen and yellow, outside should have been free kick and red - ignoring fat arses 'tackle'.

They're pretty quiet in work this morning. In contrast to most of this season. I got a "fuck off" when I tried to engage with one of them. Bless.

They have jobs?!

 

[mosssideblue]

Yep. The only bad decision was not sending the keeper off.

What for?

 

[TheCentralScrutinizer]

I actually thought the Dipper's played well last night. Pope had the best goal keeping performances I have seen in a while. The way he was commanding on crosses was really impressive in an era where most keeper's just stay on their line.

They were utter shite,clueless,just aimless balls into the box that were easily swallowed up by the likes of Ben Mee & co,apart from 1 in the 2nd half i can't think of a difficult save Pope had to make,they wouldn't have scored if they were playing now...

He had so much space so many times on the edge of the Burnley penalty area it was incredible and he must have attempted 20 crosses

Apparently he made 18 crosses with a 0% success rate, it was some kind of record from the scouse Cafu.

If any other post tops this for humour, speed of posting and hilarity it will be the post of the decade!
Bravo.

It ain't going down to the wire.....

Fans moaning about the low block like it was invented just for them.

Pep Guardiola likes this.

Very disappointing performance by us yesterday. Personally I thought a few of the players were hiding and wouldn't take responsibility. I won't complain to much because every team has dips in form and performance. Thats the way it is. A lot of hard games coming up but at least most of them will be against teams who have a go.

One you'll appreciate mate :)

The Anfield Wrap grifters are taking it well...

 

[Grealish’s Shinpads]

I can see them slipping again in their next two league games against Spurs and West Ham. They’ve got Brighton at home after that before they face us.

Will be interesting to see how the next few games pan out.

 

[Toffeedude]

I gotta stop laughing... I mean, I support Everton. But the fume is too funny.

 

[5 Hit Gibbon]

Is it a coincidence that they struggle a bit when they aren't getting favourable decisions from VAR or refs?

 

[eastmanc]

Like I said didn’t see the match. I assume from your post his crossing was poor.

 

[dickie davies]

Like I said didn’t see the match. I assume from your post his crossing was poor.

His official stats were 18 attempts none completed

 

[wagonman]

I reckon the Red Scouse Scum were lucky to get nil...

Im sure it's just a coincidence that they have gone to shit since the asthma inhaler allegations first came to light

[I'm With Stupid]

The Dippers said at the end of last season they will hold a victory parade for winning the league no matter what time the Covid restrictions end. I'm really hoping the parade will be in the summer when they have qualified for the Thursday night cup, what an anticlimax that would be, talk about pissing on their parade.

It's not as if they've never showed off a trophy they've already lost before.

I think even I'd go to that one though. The idea of a bunch of players parading a trophy they no longer have with a few players who didn't even win it would be too funny.
