Thought I had wasted 15 quid until the 90th min!
2nd week running being on the wrong end of the softest of soft penalties but justice done this week.... That Pananka! What a plum!???

Pen was soft and unnecessary but, unlike last week, didn't leave a nasty taste in the mouth. Was just a bit of panicky forwards' defending
 
West Ham made me sweat for my acca there ?

That penalty though, you'd wanna kill him if he was your team mate.
 
That offside decision for pointing was hilarious. Absolutely correct in accordance to the rules but what a mockery of them. But this was always going to happen when you applied finite technology decisions to a sport like football. It works in baseball (in/out), it works pretty well in cricket and rugby - but too many grey areas in football. You either have it and accept the decisions are to the letter of the rule, or you get rid of it and accept human error in the decisions. But either way, everyone will carry on bitching and complaining regardless.
 
This game has been painful. West Brom defending so deep, every single shot we have is blocked. For the last 6 years our problem has always been not being able to break down these stubborn teams. Used to rely on a bit of magic from Eriksen or something. If we score now it'll only be a penalty or a deflected speculative effort.

Edit: Or a flicked header. lol

What is Jamie Carragher bleating on about. His arm was quite clearly out like he was trying to block the cross :rolleyes:

Where else is his arm supposed to be? he's running, then jumps in the air to block the cross. As soon as the replay show it's hit his arm it's always gonna be given but I don't understand what he's supposed to do?

urgh gonna need a shower but find myself agreeing with Carragher lol. like the one in the wolves game earlier, defenders got no prayer, time for them all to have their arms surgically removed lol
 
I'll be interested to see what other pundits say.... But for me this is another reason that ex players should be in var positions.
 
Not clinical enough from Liverpool .
We have had good chances but chosen the wrong ball.
They need to shoot more when they get in the box and get the rebound ,not try walking the ball in.
Lucky to go in level. KDB ?
Handball rule is a joke now.
 
I'm just so not into football - VAR has killed it for me. That and just the way the authorities almost make players act in a away we all despise. Sterling stays on his feet and doesn't get the decision. Mane is fouled and goes down like he's been hit by a sniper - why wouldn't he though...

I just can't get emotional about even a game as big as this :(

Yes, PL defenders are going to have to become accustomed to defending with their arms tucked in just as they've been doing for sometime in mainland Europe. Awkward but will allow more crosses to happen.
 
Going by their earlier decision in the Wolves game then they are going to give it as a penalty - even though neither shoold be
