Liverpool thread 2020/21

[meeesh]

To be honest, until your second goal it was a very even match that could have gone either way. Both teams should have had a goal extra ie the penalty and Mane’s header and were set to finish with the squib I predicted. But you can’t legislate for goalie errors like that nor does it make him completely fallible overnight. You lot know as well as anybody that ball playing goalkeepers are prone to howlers. Case in point, it only took Ederson a few minutes to boot it straight to Mane where we should have done a lot more to capitalise. Or giving the ball straight to Salah for his goal the other year. But the good outweighs the bad considerably with these sort of lads. They’re better than their contemporaries for a reason.
I said last week that either side could make a real statement victory although I didn’t think it was likely. Don’t think even Pep thinks it was a 4-1 game but that’s how footy pans out sometimes. It’ll be tough to retain the title now but we’ve still got the CL and plenty of players to come back or return to their usual role. But Sunday was a great example of a team high on confidence & a heavy winning streak taking their chances when they had to. No complaints here, that’s football.

If the penalty goes in,and IF the var lines had come out for the Stones "disallowed" goal.you'd have been looking at a 1-6 scoreline,and surely the could of gone either way and it should of been a draw bullshit might have kept you all quieter.

The only disappointing thing to come out of the game for both sets of fans is the theatrical dive by Salah,it's laughable now.

But anyway the last 4 league encounters have an aggregate scoreline of City 10-5 Liverpool,so you can decide who you currently think has the upper hand at present.

It wasn't. It was a 4-0 with a pathetic cheating dive that was rewarded with a penalty

It was never a 4-0 game or whatever in a million years. You can tell yourself all you want that it was but the fact is that up until your second goal, it could have gone either way. It’s not like both keepers were busy or scrambling. It was a fairly cagey game for the most part with neither side anywhere near full tilt. And of course it was a penalty, he’s pulled him back and made no attempt to play the ball. Absolutely stonewall.

Haha...that last paragraph! Are you honestly suggesting that that is a reliable metric to gauge or quantify who’s better at footy? Deary me, you sound like the sort of kid who walks round the yard saying my dad’s bigger than your dad. Up to you, I suppose.

And the shove on foden s back when clean through in the penalty area?

Mate, you got smashed. Just like you did at the etihad in the summer.

I think that you’re missing a huge amount of context here but if that’s your opinion, good luck.

The atmosphere at that game was incredible. What an occasion to be at. The noise was incredible. And Sergio too! Loved everything about his goal.

...absolute quality strike. To beat a decent 'keeper from that angle, and at his near post with no blame being attached to the 'keeper was phenomenal...as was his celebration, where he ran towards blocks 109/10 whilst clearly giving the ferals a load of abuse!

No,not at all,just pointing out that it's the fact we are scoring quite a few more,and have even missed 3 pens in the meantime.

No arguments regarding the other parts of my post then eh ? Thought not

Listen as good as you have been,the titles are all that matters here,so don't kid yourself or fellow Liverpool fans that the draw was on.you were spanked 4-1,and are becoming quite frankly the most embarrassing defending champions there's ever been,Burnley and Brighton have seen to that as well as Villa putting fucking SEVEN up you,so really you should be hiding in a dark room dreaming of 2051 when you might next win the league

So explain this.

Dias is first to get to the long through ball. He plays it against Salah and it rebounds goal side. Salah gets in front of Dias, and then Salah pushes (or tries to push) Dias away with his right arm. Only then does Dias put his hand on Salah's arm, which is outstretched. if you don't believe this is what happened, watch the replay again more carefully.

Why is that initial push by Salah not a free kick?

If the push by Salah on Dias isn't a free kick, why is the pull on Salah a penalty?

And if a free kick should have been awarded against Salah, how can it be a penalty?

The 1937/38 season takes significant issue with this post.
