Diaz actually kicked Stefan with his trailing leg which he had left dangling. He initiated contact so IMO no penalty.

Thought it was one of the clearer penalties that they've been given against us over the years. Ortega didn't get the ball and made contact with the player. Regardless if he left his leg trailing or not it's still impeding the progress of the attacker.
The early yellow for Nunes was harsh especially when no reciprocation to a Liverpool player happened a short time later. There was a foul on Foden that definitely deserved a yellow. Other than that he wasn't too bad. Ignored most of Liverpool's theatrics though could have booked Salah for his constant whinging of not being given a free-kick.

What if Diaz hadn't have jumped at all, which he didn't have to do?Diaz actually kicked Stefan with his trailing leg which he had left dangling. He initiated contact so IMO no penalty.
It was a penalty, let's keep our gunpowder dry for bigger, more controversial decisions.
Didn't notice Foden being given free kicks everytime they kicked him after he had passed the ball. IMO Diaz initiated the contact, hence no penalty.What if Diaz hadn't have jumped at all, which he didn't have to do?

The referee's disproportionate application of the LoTG was pretty obvious.
I thought the studs to the knee challenge on Foden looked deliberate, and warranted a second look by VAR. The reverse flick of the boot was totally unnatural; he was never getting the ball. I think half their team managed to get a few sly kicks in on Foden. Totally unprotected by the referee. Our captain should have had a word.
The penalty, all I'll say is it was 'clever' from their forward.
