Imagine if that had been klopp dropping points…there’d be a great wailing and gnashing of teeth.Agreed, apart from the borderline yellow, it was a yellow clear as day there’s no question about that, you can actually see Kieron going up to Kev afterwards saying words to the effect “Kev, I didn’t try to do you”, Kev actually embraced him because he knew he didn’t.
Ref made the wrong call and then corrected his decision. The players knew it was a yellow, and eventually the ref did too.Agreed, apart from the borderline yellow, it was a yellow clear as day there’s no question about that, you can actually see Kieron going up to Kev afterwards saying words to the effect “Kev, I didn’t try to do you”, Kev actually embraced him because he knew he didn’t.
He’s forever haunted by his 5-1 diving headerEspecially Andy Hinchcliffe
Was it Walker out there yesterday or DJ Khalid? Mistake by Walker, and another one ……A couple of worries for me.
Walker looked shot, for the first time ever he started to look his age, hopefully just a bad game but also maybe a sign his pace is going and if that's the case we need to worry.
Foden, a guy with undoubted talent but is he starting to believe his own hype? Why has he not signed his contract, is the club reluctant to commit? Whatever he needs to get his head back in the game, and start playing the team game, he is clearly pissing off Haaland and rightly so, the big man should have another two goals for us in the last games but has not because of Fodens greed.
Finally we have a world class striker in our team, making amazing runs, for gods sake get the ball to him early, feed him and this big daft Viking will score goals for fun.
One of the great city goals to be fair!He’s forever haunted by his 5-1 diving header
Knee high, from the side with both feet off the ground. Made enough contact to bring the player down. Harsh red card but once given the VAR shouldn't have intervened.Agreed. I was surprised it was a red to begin with. I thought going in toe-first rather than studs first showed how Trippier was trying to avoid injuring the player while still committing a “professional foul”. You could see Trippier telling Kev he was trying to avoid hurting him and Kev knew that I think. I can definitely see the other side — it COULD have been dangerous and maybe a red is needed just for “could haves” — but I agree with you. And this coming from me, still absolutely livid about Milner’s foul on Silva last year which was far more cynical, painful AND he was on a yellow. Of course I wanted Trippier gone but glad for the “game” writ large the card was reversed. I think the ref got it right in the end and TBH had a good game overall.
I thought Phillips should have come on to play alongside Rodri. We needed an extra midfielder to win back control of the game. It would have allowed our fullbacks to play in more conventional way.Not strange just a huge, expensive, luxury one.
Maybe we thought Bernardo was leaving last season but even then the guy is second rate compared to Bernardo.
We lack athleticism in the center of midfield and have done for some time, yesterday Rodri was overrun , is Phillips the answer?
Big shout out for Gundongan, I thought he was total class yesterday, wonderful performance.
Agreed but clearly Pep thinks out full backs play in his unique way and can't see that changing anytime soon.I thought Phillips should have come on to play alongside Rodri.

It so nice of you to be kind, I’m not a wumI'm assuming your on the wum so I'll be kind. For now.
Yes, there was enough power to take him down, that's what made it a foul. Are you seriously suggesting I think kev
dives? Arguing against yourself there.
He could have fallen and been badly injured.
He did fall, because he was tripped. He wasn't badly injured.
He could of been, but he wasn't. He got up and got on with it.
Show me the clip that shows kev 'leaving him in his wake' because not only is that not true, its also somewhat ironically, a phrase often used from the last century.
I've seen kev kicked all over the pitch for years, same with dave not so long ago, often with a blind eye turned. Often made me feel we were being fucked over.
Not today though, that was an innocuous tackle.
With respect, its a contact sport.
