Well that’s the title to City , outstanding from Foden in second half . Unexplainable from Alisson. We need to get Fabinho or Henderson back into the middle ASAP - players look dead on their feet at the moment
 
Pathetic dive from Salah. There was contact obviously but throwing yourself to the ground like that is just cheating. Yes I know they all do it, but it is really annoying.
I never knew that having your arm tugged made your legs stop working. Unfortunately football is in my DNA so i feel compelled to watch the big games. If i was a ref i would be sacked after one game in charge.
 
Well done to City.
Bit of a drab game until the second goal.
You can’t plan for individual errors like Allison. But City were ruthless with their chances
We just look out of ideas.
Klopp needs to play at least one of the young CBS we have , just to get one midfielder back .

It also dosnt make the ref blow his whistle.
If he stays on his feet the ref won’t give the foul.
It’s really poor from the players that go down ( including Liverpool players) but they feel the ref won’t blow unless they do.

It’s the same with Sterling - they don’t need to go down but they are both fouls in the modern game now and the ref won’t give it unless the players go down - it’s poor but it’s the game now - until the refs give the fouls without the players going down then players will continue to do it.
 
Blimey - you would think listening to likes of Keane and Carragher that we are fighting relegation , instead of crucifying Liverpool how about focus on how well City are doing ,

we have had a hugely disrupted season with injuries which has affected the way we play and everyone appears to be flat at the moment , it’s been 3 years of high level football - it’s a dip just like City had one last year
 
I type this question almost every week and then delete it before posting.. but I'm going to ask it today

If all the players are cheats
If the refs are crap
If VAR is killng the game
If your Manager couldn't manage himself out of a paper bag
If your team depresses you.....

Why the hell does everyone keep on watching..?
And then moaning afterwards?
I don't get it......

We only moan when it’s against our team.;)

It’s sport - the next game you could be smashing someone or winning a trophy etc

People don’t stop watching just because the refs etc are rubbish

But VAR and current situation will be turning a lot of people off the sport
 
If only there was something that they could use that would help the ref determine that it's a foul.
Anywhere else on the pitch the ref gives that.
But for some reason once it’s in the area it’s not a foul unless the player goes down.
I really don’t understand it.
Oliver knows that’s not enough to bring him down but still gave a pen because it’s a foul.VAR backed him up .
It’s a dive no other word for it but like Fabinho for Sterling’s dive it’s poor defending from Dias to give him the chance to do it.
