Liverbirdie
Ryder Cup Winner
He'll be saying that Ryan Giggs was a better winger than Barnes as a winger next......
Cole was better than Fowler…He'll be saying that Ryan Giggs was a better winger than Barnes as a winger next......
I’ve never said he can’t defend he just doesn’t defend well.
I’ve said many times he gets caught too far upfield and doesn’t get back in position enough.
You watch those clips I’m on about and tell me he’s a world class defender, the best right back according to Klopp.
He could never play in a 3 as you say but a 4 or a 5 he could.
Yes getting better, yes still young but Klopp talks so much crap he must be trying to convince himself.
Cole was better than Fowler…
Yes surprised WBS missed out that’s why I think he will play a 3
TAA plays RB for Liverpool but imo and it’s only an opinion he can’t defend and he gets too far forward and then teams attack and he’s caught upfield,that why I don’t think he will play much he will leave us exposed.
Haven’t seen Trippier play at all this year,however James although he can chuck in an error will be more disciplined.
He’s trying to win possession of the ball from behind.What if you miss the header and land on someone's ankle as you come down? Both feet off the floor, no control of your landing and injures and opponent.
I'm just playing devil's advocate here. To me that's an unfortunate accident but I still think that the Elliot injury was also an unfortunate accident with no intent to harm the opponent.
There was a challenge on Richarlison last night which was exactly the same as the one on Elliot. So much so Gary and Jamie included it in their analysis after game. I don't think anyone batted an eyelid at the time in terms of it being a red, not even a yellow to be honest.He’s trying to win possession of the ball from behind.
He could have just tackled him and put the ball out for a throw.
He hooks his leg around the ball and twists his body.
There is only one place his other leg can go ,that’s through Elliot.
He’s unlucky that he catches him.
But he’s off the ground. Out of control is debatable , but he caught him so he isn’t in control.
The pictures from behind show it best it’s hard to watch but it’s dangerous.
Antonio did a similar thing last week I think .Foot over the ball and landed on the ops foot , ref booked him.
I didn’t think it was red at first but looking again it’s a bad tackle from behind. There are times you can’t get the ball without going through your op, I think this is one of them.
I can assure you, more than a few eyelids were batted after that. The commentator and co commentator picked up on it straight away, Everton fans all over were screaming at it. It was a minimum yellow card and he could have had no complaints had it been red. The defender wanted to put Richarlison in the stands, he knew exactly what he was doing.There was a challenge on Richarlison last night which was exactly the same as the one on Elliot.

Ah, fair enough. I don't even remember that so that probably tells you all you need to know about it. Move on etcI think that was a different one to what swango meant.
The one on the touchline was a "take the lot" and yes, yellow minimum, whereas the one he may mean was possibly near the centre circle.

That was a shocking tackle by Tarkowski on Richarlison, that’s were the refs should blowing for a foul.
I think the refs again have gone to the extreme where they’re letting the game flow but there’s still fouls that should be given.
I think all football fans will agree we need to get rid of diving in the game that’s blighted it for the last 20yrs or so and the only way to deal with diving is to stop giving fouls. That said I’ve watched loads of PL football this season and seen loads of fouls not given where they should. Its a fine line and I hope the refs will start to adjust as stage season goes on.
Indeed, the challenge you are thinking about was a shocker.I can assure you, more than a few eyelids were batted after that.

(possibly the wrong tackle being talked about by me if LB is correct #15,173)
I was listening to the game on 5live , they talked about one tackle on Richarlinson and they said it was a clean man and ball tackle that previously was fine 30 years ago but was a yellow and foul last season and is now fine again ? Seems to be a mess
no way that tackle is fine again, any other ref and thats a foul and a yellow (minimum), just atkinson being atkinson (or thinking richarlison deserved it )
