Seeing it again and that’s a ridiculous decision to disallow it

Yes as the law stands it’s wrong!

 

[Lucifer MorningStar]

I agree
But why do we bring the full backs in so narrow?
Doku has chalk on his boots so Bradley needs to stop the ball getting to him by staying a bit wider

VAR showing its inconsistency again with that offside decision.
He’s never in the keepers eyeline
But he’s in the six yd box so imo is interfering.

I’ve said it a few times this season I think Slot is trying to be to cute with his tactics and rather than playing the natural football of the players he has he’s trying to be to much like Arteta and Pep by using his Full backs inverted to lack the midfield but you don’t have the players to do it. So what happens is you open up so much space down the wings and Doku etc getting in behind time and again.

I actually agree with the offside. It’s harsh I agree but based on the path the ball takes and the current ruling he technically is interfering as you see he has to duck for the ball to pass him. I don’t agree with it but that’s the rule so based on that he is interfering.

What part of the rule ?

He is not in the keepers eyeline and didn’t try to play the ball.

Looks like it was actually Doku was closer to his line of sight

 

[Swango1980]

I would argue the opposite. From what I’m watching he’s the only Liverpool player that can hold their head up as putting in a shift. Doku has been a major threat but Bradley is working his ass off and standing up to it. The rest of the team might as well have stayed on the bus!

I'm not saying Bradley is playing badly. Simply that Doku has been miles better than Junior, and really testing Bradley

Can argue all you like about what part of the rule it’s my opinion the decision is right. He ducks to allow the ball to pass him that itself can be argued it interferes with the keeper seeing the path.

Like I said I’m not saying it’s right or I agree with the rules as they are. But it’s consistent with what was ruled out in the Everton game as well.

 

[clubchamp98]

I think the Liverpool goal should be ruled out.
For me you can’t be in the 6 yard box and not interfering with play.
The problem is next week it would be allowed to stand and that’s my issue with VAR.
This could get very messy second half if it continues in the same vein.

I agree but the rule dosnt say that atm.

It’s one of them you don’t like given against you .
Even though we have seen plenty the same given and not given.
So inconsistent.

 

[Arthur Wedge]

Well that’s a decent finish

Yeah VAR was brought in to stop the inconsistency and they even changed the rules to try and make it fit.
We were better off with letting the onfield officials making the decision.
At least then the decision was immediate now we wait 4 minutes for them still to get it wrong

 

[Swango1980]

Perhaps Liverpool could loan Wirtz out to a German club?

 

[Pin-seeker]

I’m guessing Pep didn’t send his tactics to Slott before the game

He’ll be fuming

 

[Swango1980]

Time for Salah to retire

 

[Lucifer MorningStar]

Time for Salah to retire

Starting to wonder if he has a clause in his contract that states he has to play. I cannot see why he is still on the starting line up this season.

 

[Swinglowandslow]

Watching the end of city v Liverpool. Football , is it?

 

[Swango1980]

You can tell a referee feels pity for one of the teams when he only gives 3 minutes of injury time in the 2nd half these days

 

[Arthur Wedge]

City fully deserved to win and they didn’t really need to do much - we have been awful

Worst first half performance I have seen in years

 

[clubchamp98]

Time for Salah to retire

Hallalua.

Worst player on the pitch again but played the whole game.
That’s on Slott just can’t get his tactics.

Can they take Salah instead.!

 

[Lucifer MorningStar]

Can they take Salah instead.!

Just watching the Post match interview. It would be refreshing to hear a reporter ask Slot why are you persisting on playing Salah to garner a genuine response for you as fans to understand the rest of us to figure why.

I said this a long time ago.
His general play is abysmal.
I can understand him playing when he’s scoring and assisting but he’s not.

I would be interested in that answer.!
