As good as!!

Spot on!
And great that we beat Man City 2-2 yesterday

Great result, but not a great performance.
First time Liverpool haven't scored at home for a very long time.
With the players we had missing that was a fabulous result, but probably another false dawn.
It's the hope that kills me.

Love it that officials are trying to stamp out passion from the game.

Thought MU deserved a draw. Defended well.
The better saves were from Alisson.

Some pretty poor attacking play from both teams.

We ran out of ideas and we’re shooting from everywhere.

Gapko doesn't need an invitation to shoot. Looks ridiculously selfish

They had a feeling that they wouldn't be required!

About time dissent was dealt with

 

[IanM]

Caragher called it right.

Poor decisions at key times.

We havnt got a fox in the box.
Trying to force it.
We put a lot of crosses in when nobody in the box.

That isn't passion, it's ignorance and a problem for the game at all levels. Hopefully he might think next time and not abuse the officials.

Well I've just woken up after the bore draw!!
Not much chat about Gooners today but that was easily there best performance of the season. Every player was on it from the first minute. Gave Brighton no time or space to play, created loads of chances and should got 5 or 6.Massive confidence booster against a quality side.
Lewis Dunk for Brighton was superb Has to start for England.

He was frustrated he didn't get the decision, in the cauldron of Anfield. If he called the ref an unpleasant name, fair enough, book him.

But to book him twice in rapid succession is the pathetic place we are in the game. There was a time a referee could pull a player aside, talk to him, get him calmed down, and explain the decision. Exactly why Collina would earn so much respect. He wouldn't need to just rely on his yellow cards when interacting with players.

But, it is where we are. Passionate response by a player when a decision incorrectly goes against them, just book them. Score a goal, spend 3 minutes looking for a reason to disallow it.

Just my view. But if it turns out Dalot said some terrible things to ref, then fair enough. Although if that happened, it would be a straight red.

It's about time a player was booked twice for dissent

Only way the morons will learn.

Just nice to see no calamity and lots of fight.

I wonder if we are a better TEAM without Bruno ?

The only problem is that next week it'll go back to the refs ignoring it and not booking the players for the same thing and then we'll all be complaining about the lack of consistency again. I'd fully support refs taking this action as long as they keep doing it. Don't do it for two weeks and then go back to not booking or sending players off for it.

It's already been at least a couple months no? Dunk was weeks ago

I agree it was right he was booked but the problem was he was right, it was a Utd throw in. I was asking the lad what would happen if Liverpool had scored from the throw in.Would VAR go back to the throw in I honestly don’t know

No, that's the phase complete

We had it from a corner against Burnley, wood headed it out..corner given incorrectly, they scored but it's a new phase of play can't be overturned
