And now he's let Everton take a free kick awarded for offside from inside the Liverpool half.

But Everton could have scored, what’s happens then ?

 

[SteveW86]

So tripping over a player who’s on the ground is a penalty now?

I do like how quickly the ref made his decision whilst looking at the screen, that’s the sort of time frame it should be.

He looks at it and is happy with his original decision, so crack on. We’ve moaned that decisions have taken far to long to come to and looking at every angle possible.

And Gerrard ?

And Owen

They have all shamed themselves ?

I called it a couple of months ago. If Liverpool do not grind out results they will not finish in the top four/ champs league. At the time it didn’t go down well.
I will call something else, if Liverpool do not grind out results they will not qualify for Europe. Period.
look at the league table before you reply, it may well already be out of Liverpool’s hands with the games in hand that Villa, Everton and Spurs have.

There is a long way to go yet - getting some players back fit will help

 

[Paperboy]

I think that Liverpool should play Nat Phillips, who's looked solid when I've seen him play and whoever they think is the next best CB.
Thus allowing the CM's too get back to where they belong. But I'm only an arm chair supporter1

Is there a worse diver than Salah currently in the premier league?

He’s out on his own at the moment.

Souness must find his antics particularly gauling.

 

[Tashyboy]

Souness giving his opinion on Fulham v Sheff Utd. He sounds like he wants to go home ?

Every team has them - every professional footballer especially the forward will throw themselves to the ground the minute they get the chance - there is the belief that any touch “entitles” players to go down , people have complained about it for years but it won’t change until players regulary get banned for it

And oppo fans are ok to point fingers and rival players but appear to ignore their own when they throw themselves around

Ref thought so. Twice. ?.

My view? TAA was unfortunate but he went to ground early and impeded. If the ref had changed his mind, again, no complaints here. If that was other end for Liverpool, I think some firm cases for a pen would be created ?

He fell over TAA who was lying on the ground ?‍ CL kneed him in the back of the head then fell over - what exactly was TAA supposed to do

As you say he attempted to play the ball, he didn’t and the Everton player caught him with momentum. To be honest did it affect the outcome of the result. Nope were talking about a brownie points decision. Watching TAA was like watching Otamendi who spent half the game on his butt, you cringe knowing it could go either way.

Sure but Salahs my favourite. Artistic impression is second to none.

 

[clubchamp98]

He was evening up for the free whacks you had on Rodriguez ?

Of all players to make a challenge like that Gomez should know better after the one by Son on him.
That was yellow all day.

Shocking ref .if that’s a pen the game is in real trouble.
The VAR ref gave him a chance to amend his mistake but he didn’t take it.

Everton tactics spot on and a deserved win imo.

Correct. Richarlison was a main culprit when he was with us. We have a couple in the current squad that love to go down; frustrates the hell out of me.

That’s the Lino’s job surley to tell him.
After all it was them who gave the offside in the first place.

No one’s disagreeing with that Phil ?‍.

We’re just saying that Salah is the worst for it ??????

Shocking? Hang on. The refs at the moment can’t win. I like to commend the ref for sticking to his decision and doing it quickly. The stuff I’ve seen recently given for pens far exceeds that incident.

He didn’t even look at the full replay

He should have sent Gomez off .
DCL had played the ball and his knee collided with AA head.
He only had two things to do really all game
Both were wrong imo.
