I've got to say I don't really care if there was intent or not, I think there is too much focus on that. If you do it on purpose you don't belong on the pitch, if you are flying in at knee height by accident you don't belong on the pitch. Either way he has made a huge mistake and should be punished mercilessly by dogs.
Bartley, Monk, Tiendalli, Agustien, Lamah, and Shechter had 19 starts between them this season before today. I don't blame them for resting players, but Liverpool having good luck like this annoys me.
He's a British commentator on a British network commentating on a British team man, of course he will favor them more than the Italian side.
He takes it to an extreme though, it's cringeworthy.
