If it was Mitrovic, we'd be blaming him for giving the ref a decision to make. Simple as that. He went for the 50-50, got it wrong, and the consequence is a sending off and a suspension. I'm sure the players know the rules like.

I don't think Mane is a malicious player, but he has a relatively high number of red cards to his name for a player his age. He always seems to get sent off for the type of challenge where if he got it wrong it would be deemed serious foul play.

No one in their right mind is going to view that as a drubbing or insist that they were played off the park, like. A man down against Man City and they'll do that to anyone. Liverpool's own 4-0 win over Arsenal was both of those things, this wasn't. They were only 1-0 down when Mane got sent off. They could have kept it tight and sat back to prevent a heavy defeat. Instead he chucked the game taking off his attacking players and did nothing to prevent what ended up being a 5-0 drubbing. Also claiming that Mane didn't see the keeper is poor by him IMO. If he hadn't seen the keeper, he wouldn't have been trying to flick it over him, and would have clattered into his body instead.

He did what came to him instinctively trying to flick the ball over the keeper with his toe. Couldn't have done much else if he wanted to go for the ball IMO. He put himself at risk of committing serious foul play and was rightly sent off for it. It also means that he clearly saw the keeper coming.

Klopp talking some absolute bollocks blaming the drubbing on bad luck Sad that he's become one of them. Just lose with grace man, admit they were played off the park after the red, and just move on. I'm quite sure he would have been singing a different tune had that been Aguero on Mignolet, and no red card had been shown.

It's about one of the clearest red cards you're likely to see. How it's up for debate is beyond me

Away win IMO.

Yup. As long as it doesn't last until the world cup. I really hope it does. IMO it would be a 1 match ban anyway tbh.

That's true, but 10 million got (would have) Jovetic. Maybe Rafa is aware of a deal going for a player he likes. That's the ideal scenario/hope anyway.

It's quite clear that Rafa doesn't think he can be as effective in the PL. Add to that he's one of our most saleable assets, it makes sense to get maximum value for him and use the funds to strengthen.

#wait I can't. I don't want to.

Good post. Unfortunately slimy agents will make sure that never happens IMO.

When does Hindus mate reckon the announcement will be made exactly?

WUM out.

Aye because there are only two types of owners in world football Well my post did say I would rather be a vile club like them than the vile club we are now, where you replied by saying "each to their own" which to me was saying you prefer Big Mike. So on this occasion we were only talking about two types of owners. You're right. Edit: about the context and not about preferring big Mike

Aye because there are only two types of owners in world football

Found his level.

To each his own. Their owners are scum. Apart from possibly watching much more attractive football, there's nothing to be jealous of PSG over imo.

Vile club. Hope it ends in tears.

I agree it's absolutely insane to use one's own eyes and judgement to see that a player isn't at the required level for his position in this league. His stats last season should speak forever full stop. Pardew finished fifth after all.

Hindu - Rafa has united the support behind him and has the entire fan base for his every word precisely because he's been honest with us since day one. He knows the fans up here aren't stupid and him telling it like it is simply goes along with his personal code of conduct we have all thirsted for for years.

Alli in diving fanny shocker.

Really wouldn't mind an upgrade on Ritchie. Not a top player at this level IMO.

For the price we've paid, this signing is a no-brainer. A technical and strong Spanish player who will listen to Rafa and apply himself? Come through the ranks at Real Madrid? Already knows the language and the league? 5 million? They should have charged us triple that tbh. Welcome Joselu. Please don't be shit.
