Players well and truly burnt out at Liverpool. They lasted a season longer than I thought they would but 3-4 years of gengenpress has taken its toll.

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......

If you play crap at golf , why do you go back again?
Nobody knows the answer to that one!

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.

Sterling didn’t dive his legs were taken. :rolleyes:
 
Well now the sproggs in bed I can waffle. The first 20 mins City set off very very well. Then We started giving the ball away left right and centre. I was having a right meltdown, not helped by another penalty miss. Then a goal from out of the blue. Liverpool through Salah scored from a nailed on penalty that should of been dealt with.
After that when City went to 4-4-2 it looked more balanced but I thought Liverpool were deffo in the game. Then Allison’s blunders, what can you say. Foden finishes it off and game over. Maybe the score flattered City but a penalty miss stopped it from being worse. Ask any City fan if they thought they would be in this position before Christmas and they would of laughed. City under Pep have won 14 on the spin, his highest ever winning run at any club. Ironically without Aguero and KDB at the moment.
Re Liverpool, I mentioned a month ago they have to grind out results or Champs league could be gone. At the moment there form is relegation form. And the pack is gathering. A couple of years ago City did the high press like Liverpool did. They have stopped doing it as much because it was strength sapping. Having a confident back four as we do now means you can sit back and be quite comfortable.
Could be a tough end of season run in for Liverpool, the next game for Liverpool v Leicester is massive. The week after well al leave that to the good people of Liverpool to discuss the Derby game.

Watched it frame by frame.
He’s going down before the contact.
He’s made a decision to “win a penalty” as they say.
Still a pen though stupid from Fabinho.

Haha, no way. He skins him on the inside, first Fabinho's left foot lightly trips him, then he completes the job by throwing his right heel back and wiping him out! No dive there, I really think Sterling was looking to get a shot away on his right having beaten the man.

Fab left his legs there to initiate the contact, pen all day for me.

3 times, at least our FB's let them come in on the inside of them, they need to learn to show them down the line.
