Do you guys think you'd have benefited if you'd got Cavani on a free, rather than United?

I think any decent CF would score a bag full in this team.
We have three poor finishers who get so many chances and score some good goals it masks the real sitters they miss.
Then we make a mistake and draw.
So yes he would give us something we havnt got

Stupid rules .
The ref is in charge and should be able to do what he deemed fit and fair.
The game is much poorer for these stupid rules.

i think they were done as they are so that they couldnt review a potential yellow card and thus end up with even more reviews, whats for sure is the current system doesnt work, the way they make decisions doesnt work and no one has any faith in the system at all based on most of the recent decisions, lets hope they make a constructive review in the summer (and throw it out!)

No because we bought Jota who I believe has scored more in less games over the season - his injury was a big a miss as VVD

He doesn’t do too bad for a “scratchy finisher” - 123 in 4 seasons for us , I don’t think anyone has scored more in the same period. He is a World Class player and may well end up with his 3rd golden boot in 4 seasons. It will always amazes how little respect he gets.

He is a scratchy finisher. Not taking anything away from him but he peaked at Liverpool and he's on the slide now. Some of his seasons were astonishing but he coud never keep that level going. Be grateful you got him as at his peak and he won you the CL and PL. Sign a world class CF and you might get a few more years out of him.

With Klopp's nett spend, do you think any manager would have taken us from finishing 8th to league champions and CL winners?

Probably not !
It’s a personal opinion I just like to see a proper CF giving the CBS a tough game.
I think with a proper goal scorer we would be right behind City.
How many games have we had like today’s.?
High line ,no pace but still play it. With no pressure on the ball.
Any decent ball over the top and were in trouble.
The strikers are very poor finishers all three of them , but they score worldies now and again.
Mo has scored 20 goals for three seasons but misses so many he should be just behind Shearer in the list.
Klopp done wonders at the club but that dosnt mean I have to like the style of play , I don’t.
 
In the Leeds v Man Utd game VAR checked a possible hand ball against Luke Shaw in his own area and gave nothing. If Utd had broken away up to the other end and scored it would have been disallowed for hitting Shaw's arm. Normally in that situation a free kick would be given for handball. In this instance that would have meant going back and giving a penalty to Leeds despite the fact that VAR had already decided that it wasn't a penalty.

Handball rule application has changed as the seasons gone on completely, any attempt to keep the arm close to the body now seems to mean its not handball, even if the hand moves to the ball, obviously within the usual inconsistency boundaries lol. Not a chance theyd have ruled a united goal out in that situ ;)

Didn't Calum Wilson have a goal ruled out for handball yesterday even though his arm was close to his body?

Was that just because he was playing against rather than for one of the big 6? :unsure::whistle:

not seen that one, assume it was similar to the Chelsea one first half or Shaws today in all but which team it was for/against :)

That was about as blatant a handball as you are likely to see.

The officiating in this game is once again shocking. Fall over and scream when playing in red = free kick.

ManU player kicking the ball away after the whistle has gone = nothing. Bamford = Yellow.

Not sure I can be bothered watching much more Premier League. I'll stick to my under 11s, and 12s and Sunday League up the rec.
 
Happy to not be able to hear the screeching of Kane there when he did the full dive
8.5 for that one
