Taylor for the Liverpool game

One of his legs was trailing, he stopped the ball with his thigh or bollocks. His leading leg wasn't that high, but his studs were showing.
He didn't contact Salah. He was sliding side ways across Salah. If he was going towards him, we might be looking at a different outcome.
But that didn't bloody happen. So in summary, I'm agreeing with you and the previous poster is obviously a Sky employee.
Lol
 
That's twice Robertson has emptied Sterling and no penalty.

Not both Taylor obviously but the one tonight shows the lack of bollocks any linesman has fo make the right decision. Even though Taylor should have seen it for the blatant foul it was.
 
Thought he did OK up to the time he suddenly realised a draw would be the best result to help his "second team", then he ignored a blatant foul on Fernandinho that could have led to a Scouse goal. No wonder Pep went berserk.

Not just that mate, there was a blatant foul on Aguero 15 seconds before the second foul on Fernandinho that Taylor didn't give. If Salah would have scored - effectively costing us the title, I wonder how many would have come on here singing Taylor's praises.
 
Liverpool may have been getting help in some of their games but we can't say City are getting robbed by refs this season thankfully, around the Wolves game I was starting to think "here we go again", as they seemed to be mounting up.

If Taylor wanted to rob City, he had the perfect opportunity to swing the game in Liverpool's favour on the Kompany challenge. That's not to say it was a definite red, some people clearly aren't getting that, a yellow was the sensible thing to do, refs don't have to act like robots if they have a good view on something.

It wasn't deemed as reckless because Salah would have been stupid not to see a challenge was coming in, from a lose ball he was trying to steal off our defenders toes. Kompany's aim was to stretch with everything he had to get to the ball first, not to bring the player down. Salah wasn't at any point in control of the ball, so had no rights to it, he saw the challenge coming and hurdled it in good time.

Kompany catches him on the follow through, not with his studs(looked like his trailing leg/knee), yellow card was the correct decision.

Probably would have been the same if we had video referees. We may have even had a penalty for Sterling too, while we are mentioning them. So I don't think we were "lucky", just better than them, despite not quite playing at our collective best for most of the game. Was it that both teams used tactics that spoiled some of the opponents play, or were both teams slightly off their best is the question?

There looked to be 2 fouls, where Sky only showed the one on Fernandinho, in the build up to Salah's chance and the resulting corner when Pep reacted angrily(they wasted so much time covering Pep's reaction that they didn't have enough time to show what he was reacting to). That to me did look like help from the ref and I'm sure Pep saw it that way too, at such a crucial period of the game but maybe he was just going through a shit patch in a frantic game? Maybe.

You can guarantee the same old posters would tell us there’s nothing to see and it’s just incompetence.
 
Was alright.

Same old Prem ref performance

Gave a few, missed a few
