gbandit Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 Didn’t think Longstaff’s was a pen. Was there any major contact other than a bit of upper body when he was running through? It’s one of the weaknesses of his game that isn’t going to improve at this stage. He doesn’t have the technique to control aerial balls, bring them down cleanly and then find a yard of space which was required yesterday. It wasn’t an easy chance at all but he could have tried ten times and I wouldn’t have been confident it would have worked once Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boey_Jarton Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 At the risk of going all Arsenal, you could make an interesting montage of decisions at Anfield against us in the last few years... Just off the top of my head: -Two pens yesterday -Dummett 'penalty' on Salah -Two players down with head injuries when a Liverpool goal scored - Ryan Fraser Penalty not given -Ref obstructing our player to assist Trent - 10 minutes of added on time facilitating late winner - Isak 'offside' Most of those decisions made diddly squat difference as Liverpool generally so much better than us at Anfield.

South-Cheshire-Toon Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 without going into a diatribe of profanities, all i can say on the last liverpool goal was that it wasn't a penalty, and looking at the saved one - there's a doubt if that was one as well.

PauloGeordio Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 Mrs wise this morning, “yes they had a lot of chances but you have to score them. If it wasn’t for those 2 dodgy penalties. Fucking LiVARpool, & that bloody commentary was a disgrace, was he (Drury) sat bollocko knocking one out” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RodneyCisse Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 I dunno why I’m subjecting myself to it, but ssn skipping over Jota and his dive so far in the hour or so I’ve watched. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The defender cutting across him makes contact with his leg so possible trip… 🤷♂️ https://x.com/thatnufc/status/1742116986568523989?s=61&t=kJE1AU_9T9TvzyV_ebeY8Q Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard enough to control a ball like that on your chest whilst running, almost impossible when off balance, having your (would be) standing leg taken away.

gbandit Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 It’s the same level of contact as the Jota one. Neither should be remotely close to being given as pens Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pokerprince2004 Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 Probably forgotten amongst all the anger at the penalty being awarded for Jota diving but did they check if he was offside originally? I'm convinced the VAR were so focused on looking at the contact that they forgot to check the original offside. Looked miles offside when McCallister played the through ball.

Cf Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 I know Burns time should be coming to an end but I think we also need to remember that Mo Salah is very very good. Meanwhile in the corresponding position we had Almiron a player who is quickly going from can't help but love him to can't stand the sight of him.

Yeah, I’m all for Livramento starting ahead of him but with Trippier out, he had to start. Salah’s made better fullbacks look just as hapless tbf. Starting Hall (with the limited game time he’s had) against one of the best wingers in the league wasn’t a much more appealing option. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
