Marriner happy he is gonna earn his "bonus" in a straight forward game he won't need to influence it much now . Our ref will have to be creative later to get the result the prem want tho .

Not watching, but it sounds like the officials are on their side again. Only a matter of time before they complete their assignment and award a bizarre penalty against us in a tight game. Then it’s job done and they’ve got the title winners they want.

That will be this evening

In modern football it's a foul anywhere else on the pitch; two defenders, one at the front swipes a leg out, the one at the back blocks the run, attacker jumps and collides. 100% foul.

No it isn't.

Liverpool had a blatant corner not given for them inside the first 10 mins.

Other than that Marriner has called everything correctly.

Tactical foul?

 

[Paladin]

Not true, actually. I remember Foden being tripped by an opposing keeper, and because he scrambled back to his feet, he didn't get the penalty. Likewise, Sterling was pushed in the back by Walker (he actually admitted it after the game, citing he had to do something to put Sterling off). Again, we didn't get the penalty.

That's the point I was trying to make. They only give a foul when the player goes down. This encourages diving, and discourages fair play, such as in both instances you cite. Both were fouls regardless of players going down.

 

[Tracking back]

amount of decisions that go for them is astonishing

No it isn't.

There's a title race to be had.

Pigmol and the Premier League will ensure it's as tight as can be and continue to engineer this fierce rivalry between the two clubs.

The issue I have with that is if Liverpool and Klopp are really as good as the media make out why have they only won one premier league title, one champions league title (which they're royalty of anyway) and one league Cup?

 

[Damanino]

if they can rotate TAA and Salah too and still win their hardest away fixtures left comfortably, that is because these fucker dont raise their game when playing Pool.

watch fucking Soton's behaviour, energy, passion, workrate etc in their two PL games versus City.
and watch their game vs Burnley recently and when they lost 6-0 to Chelsea at home also recently.

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

Newcastle can't be any worse in terms of their intensity and Klopp will try and get away with it for as long as possible, if the score is still 1-0 after 70 minutes.

Crowd have been shite and another goal for Liverpool will turn the lights off, but I still have a hope Newcastle will get after them.
