We'll let this game stay as it is and Utd to win 6-0, that'll keep us both happy :rofl:

I'd take that mate

Tbh Tash, there is contact, but certainly not a foul, Quinn's going on about entitlement to go down, it's the scourge of the game and all teams will appeal in those instances, anywhere else on the field the players wouldn't appeal they'd just get on with it, it seems it's only a contact sport outside the 18yd box.

Quite clear on the replay there was more than enough contact to be a foul. got lucky, the ref may have been slightly distracted by Baines sliding in.

But surely a player expects some contact on the pitch and anywhere else they'd try stay on their feet, it happens that much in the box we'd end up with 8 pens a game!

I'm not convinced it was a pen, and i hate the phrase "he's entitles to go down", but, If its elsewhere on the pitch there could be any number of reasons to stay on your feet, may a break is on, or its miles from goal so a free kick is no help. But when in the box, the biggest advanatge unless able to shoot is take the opportunity of a pen.

If a player is running and then attempts to jump over a diving keeper who then clips his leg he will find it difficult to stay on his feet when landing.

That was a penalty every day of the week and you would be moaning if it had been say Bravo on Lukaku and not given.

Looks like it's gonna be a long half hour

If you take the time to read all posts I've already stated every team would call for it and there was contact, it still doesn't make it right though, has the keeper clipped his leg or is the forward trailing a leg looking for contact?

Then as you've put the only thing that'll change this scurge is players themselves..

Long 20 minutes now. To be fair Robles has not had to make a save in the 2nd half but all this pressure is not good for the blood pressure. Really liking Davies. Somehow more satisfying when they come through the ranks.

Yeah,but my point was that it isn't necessarily cheating, otherwise the same could be labeled at defenders/keepers, saying they put in this types of fouls knowing that a penalty isn't always given.

Not sure what Pep has done but he's definitely broken city, they have no desire, no sharpness, totally lacklustre, just look like there clocking in and going through the motions! Not that Liverpool or Manure will be moaning as its a good result for both of them.

His post match interview should be good 😊
He'd have been better off going to PSG or Celtic where he'd have been garunteed another title.

Hahaha light the cigars...job done

He's just capped off a very good performance,the lad will be buzzing.

 

[garyinderry]

Super goal from the lad.

 

[Lord Tyrion]

Please refer to my earlier post. Tom Davies, take a bow.

We can enjoy the rest of the match now.

Tashy, what has happened to your lot?

 

[sawtooth]

Davies showing Sterling how it's done. Superb

 

[Pin-seeker]

Niall Quin is shocking😣

Liverpool have withdrawn Joel Matip from the squad to face Man Utd over questions about his international clearance fearing punishment from FIFA if they play him as he didn't want to go to the African Nations.
