I'd be interested in a system like cricket or tennis where each side has a limited number of challenges they can ask VAR to look at again during a match. Would be hilarious because you know Klopp would have wasted all his challenges by half time and then get screwed over anyway in second half.

Going back to hodgson i do like he clearly has come back to management without a single fuck to give seems in interviews to be way more jolly than he used to be

It obviously hurts when it happens to your club but some of the rage this induces goes way over the top as if they haven't fucked up at work ever. I oscillate between being pro var and against it, ithink it is used overly pedantically, however the irony is the Liverpool disallowed goal is exactly what it should be for when there is a clear error. Hate it when it is used to disallow a goal for an offside so fractional it would be impossible to see by human eye

i suppose but stll felt a bit off

so MOTD spent the whole thing talking about liverpool and var and not one thing about the winners of the game spurs...

I'm sure Jurgen will take this with good grace and magnanimity

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Neville banging on about the player not doing it deliberately, that's not relevant! I do agree its harsh cos he slips on the ball but the end contact is nasty

Riley McGree scoring for Boro, no way with that name he's not some ne'er do well in a western who shoots the main villain in the back out of cowardice.

Brighton's defence been too passive and villa looking very efficient on the break.

When on it really love Watkins

https://www.theguardian.com/football/2023/sep/29/liverpool-mohamed-salah-earning-at-least-1m-a-week-adviser-ramy-abbas Now tbh, apart from the overal disgust at all the money in football, he is one of the best footballers in the world, so ignoring the ridiculousness of the salaries overall of course his salary should be in top percentile of footballers and ultimately that much money goes into it what do you expect? (PAY NURSES FOOTBALLERS WAGES ETC). However ignoring the obscene amounts of money overall, what sticks in the craw is still Klopps whinging about being a poor underdog below that ceiling or whatever. Poor poor liverpool can't compete etc etc etc

Random hah

Hmm maybe. Not confident either way but i do doubt tonali will start champions league, and i am a fan and think he will settle nad be great but he's not our current strongest lineup which surely we will have for psg at home

I kinda more suspect tonali will start and be benched wednesday tbh. Isak will be benched considering the injury for wednesday too.

Aah my bad read stat wrong, still!

Can't believe this is first 3pm Saturday games since 2022 ffs is that some kind of record?

Of course lol

Get in!

ISAAAAAK

Disappointing as it is to see the second string out, and I was hoping for a few more of the big players, no idea how anyone gets angry that our second string isnt close to man city's, we're not close to that level yet. On Tonali, it's very clear it takes a while for players to get up to speed to play Howe's brand of football, it keeps happening and yet people are still shocked when signing slowly gets up to speed.

I don't get the angst over a release clause. Of course if be upset if real Madrid came in and got him but we're not a club that won't bother replacing the best player any more, it'll be gutting if he goes but that is the nature of financial fair play until we have much higher commercial income we will cash in i suspect then buy the next Bruno for half the price (well preferably before)

Hmmm but if you look at it from perspective that the hand shouldn't be having any impact on the play and you realise there is a lot of grey area to intention makes it harder but i agree there are too many hand ball infractions. Penalty is 99% of the time a way too harsh punishment. I'd be for direct free kick even in the box with only exception being if it's on the goal line or clearly denies a goal. For the Gordon style offence I'm really not sure I can see both sides

How does the hallowed vvd get ahead of botman they conceded didn't they?

Isak!
