3 points…take them any day and however they come.
Wasn’t our finest performance but not withstanding VAR we found a way though.
TAA has had some ordinary moments lately,but that was a absolutely cracking goal from him,and will help the lads confidence,no end.
Maybe,just maybe top 4 isn’t out of the question yet.
Thank fuck what was starting be be a hoodoo at Anfield has been broken.

Delighted with the win obviously, but fuck me the VAR/decisions situation is tedious.
We were never getting the goal, never. Anyone waiting and thinking the decision would go our way is deluded. It is obvious all season that the agenda is set against Liverpool and this just copperfastens the belief.
@Mascot points iut the Milner yellow card. Baffling! For what exactly?
To get top four we need a level pitch.
We will not get top four in these conditions.

The inexplicable substitution I was referring to was Mané for Firmino , as I stated.
If you cannot score a goal with it then you should not be able to be called offside with it. being offside by a finger nail is brainless as are the vertical lines which always seem to be on the lean to me.

That is why they use the shirtsleeve as you can score with as it is not classed as handball, load of crap in my opinion as I cant recollect any goal ever being scored with it

You know as soon as the lines are drawn it is going to get called off for us. It seems a deliberate attempt to somehow make the attacker offside in our case. It might be a biased observation, but frankly that’s how it looks currently to me. There was a call for handball for Barkley (?) I think, but it never got a second look.

I also noticed how long he was allowed to remain sitting on the pitch, while the Villa substitute got dressed. This is something else which has crept into the game and referees do nothing about it. It took 3-4 minutes to get Trezeguet off the pitch, which was ridiculous and it’s lost game time which you never get back. It’s blatant cheating and Villa were doing it all game, from Martinez taking 45 seconds to take a goal kick to other players feigning injury. It all uses up time and Tierney did nothing about it, but then our players don’t seem to complain either.

Should have been at least 8 minutes added on, lucky we were ahead by then so it was in our favour.

Did you notice TAA go to collect the ball for a goal kick after he scored and then change his mind and run away from the ball with a smirk. All teams do it …
and who can blame them.
The sooner they bring in rugby style transparent timing the better …this has happened as long as I have watched football and that is a very long time …
One poster complained only 5 minutes were added

He has no right at all to score… Worldie…
The trouble is that so many goals were wrongly called offside (by metres, not mm) before this system. Surely it’s better to be as accurate as possible? The lino needs to make a call at the time and if it’s down to a shirt cuff, go with their call as they do in cricket.
Using feet instead of shirt sleeves would eradicate most of the moaning. Goals like yesterday, Firmino’s at Villa park last season and Bamford against Palace should stand, surely nobody thinks the offside rule is there to disallow those.
If that’s not enough, make it so any (or a certain specified amount) overlap of the lines means the attacker gets the benefit of the doubt. Pedro Neto’s at Anfield last year might have stood then, a tiny part of his foot was offside.
Two simple changes for me that makes the rule so much more satisfying.

Totally agree but if it isn’t discernable by the naked eye then advantage to the attacking team and use the feeeeeeet

Go with feet, sensible to me. Trouble is with a tolerance though is that that gets measured to the nth degree. Say you draw a foot wide black band across the pitch, you’re then just allowing goals that are 11.999999 inches (I hate imperial) offside.

But it it still comes down to a miniscule amount and where a line is drawn, you are just using a wider line

There’ll always be issues once you start measuring at margins so less. Who ensures the frame when the ball is kicked is also accurately measured by millimeters? If you are using technology for getting it right to the least possible measurement, let technology decide the lines rather than some incompetent ref drawing lines manually like a 8 year old.

It should take five seconds to judge an offside. If you can’t tell clearly within five seconds, go with the on pitch.
If we’re talking millimetres, it’s level.
