Come on Liverpool!

Look like they can score every attack now. Can see this being a big score now (and so cue 2-1 final score!!!)

 

[Jimaroid]

Hopefully it won’t be too embarrassing…

Well I was expecting worse than what we’ve seen so far. Pickford has had to do a lot but there’s a bit of hope.

Certainly a lot of effort, but a massive gulf in class, ?

Not a bad hit that ?

Mike Dean did his best to block it

 

[Dando]

How about you show me were I’m wrong?

I agree it looks bad, but if he’d of had treatment off the pitch he couldn’t of reentered without the Refs permission, Arsenal would of been playing 1 man down, Arteta is looking after Arsenal.

You said earlier he was protecting his player ?????

Last season when games were cancelled due to COVID,There was a call to take 3 points off the teams that cancelled. That’s not been the case this year, ?
In fact the older call is to cancel the season for a couple of weeks.

Thoughts me dears.

Eddie Howe is complaining that his player was down with a head injury and was "dazed for four or five minutes" and the game should've been stopped. That's fair enough but if your player was dazed for four or five minutes surely you should've taken him off and brought on a concussion sub. If the head injury was serious enough to leave the player dazed then surely the concussion protocol should've kicked in.

He needs lessons in counting because it was nowhere near 4 never mind 5 minutes.

It's about time refs stopped giving silly fouls for those types of incidents where the attacking side used to be penalised by play acting.

It really is annoying when any player, of any team, holds a part of the body claiming to be in pain then gets straight up like nothing has happened.

id love to here Maccas commentary if that had been at the other end lol

I cannot understand why BT keep putting this biased idiot on Liverpool matches. Infuriating.

Let's be honest it would have been way funnier if it smacked him in the face or the stomach.

I liked it more when Mike Dean wasnt allowed to ref our games.

Since his rise to be the most famous celebrity Tranmere Rovers fan, we've had to endure his inept performances too.

Showed quite clearly there was no clash of heads .
He had a bit of a bad landing , caused by his own player.
The game can’t be stopped every time someone has a bad landing.
We need to get away from players putting the ball out of play and make the ref make that decision.
That’s his job ,he is in charge.

What did my head in is Joe Cole saying you should believe players reaction to things.

What world does he live in, and he was a purveyor of exaggeration and going down easy in his day.

Players try to get whatever they can these days by going down easy, diving, appealing for touches that did or didnt happen etc - all clubs, so I dont buy into this go on player reaction malarkey, unless its in the negative - as in he doesnt appeal to the ref, as he blatantly took someone out.

Mike Dean got away with it imo

He didn’t see the player on the floor imo - if he did then we would have blow up

whilst it’s not a rule got to be careful with the head etc and if that was a proper clash then it would have caused all sorts

In the end the right result but imo only because Dean is incompetent

You think we only won because of Dean’s incompetence? Really? ?

Agreed. The man down was barely touched and trying to take advantage of the head injury rule! Glad they played on and scored, hate players faking injury.

Surely the correct response to this type of action is to retrospectively review the contact and discipline the players involved. It would stop straight away. It works for 'simulation' after all....
In all seriousness, the people running our game seem to be completely uninterested in improving it for the benefit of the people who actually watch it. It's a great shame.

Yep, just need a "*** bloke" panel that sits each monday! Fans can send anything they want in to be reviewed, diving, feigning injury, managers throwing players back on the pitch etc

Any player that fails the test gets warned first time, suspended for 1 game, 3 games, 10 games etc going forward. Be rid of it in no time
