Post match: Liverpool v Newcastle (EPL 16/12/21 8pm)

I think we are getting used to these decisions going against us, so we are tired of asking the questions.
We had a couple of decent shouts vs Villa before the Salah one, and others this season.
Mane is targetted every game, even soft fuckers like Arsenal got in to him.

Well according to the footballing gods Jenas and Joe Cole, Newcastle had a definite penalty not given when Trent tackled Fraser.

They were arguing with Peter Walton’s defence of Dean not giving the penalty.

Never mentioned a word about the Ox incident.

How was that a penalty, same goes for the Konate they both get the ball, you can give it on the angle where you can’t see him touching the ball but VAR have every angle.

Said that they showed the shove on Ox once and that in my view was a penalty.

If TAA is a penalty why does the ball divert perfectly in line with him kicking it?

As for the head injury they didn’t clash heads so the only injury could have been obtained on the floor, Dean is right and if the player was “hazed” then no ifs or buts he should be off.

MOTD disagree with your view and showed Ox was positioned by klopp deliberately that allowed us to pin Newcastle in their box very clever I think.

I believe another area with worse unemployment than Liverpool as well.

Always seems to be supporters from neglected areas who sing the most classist shite.

It should have fucked off out of the game a long time ago, but certain clubs seem determined to keep it alive (City, for example; completely lacking in self-awareness, as always).

To add a bit of balance, the ‘feed the scousers’ was drowned out pretty quickly, it appeared like some of their fans had a word. It certainly wasn’t the full scale nonsense I’ve heard from them before, or what you’d get from Villa, Manchester clubs, Chelsea etc.

Liverpool fans did our bit not to spread covid last night by keeping our mouths shut. You’re welcome.

His head never hits the ground. He lands on his arse. The other Newcastle player in the collision would have had a much more credible case, because he very much took the worst of it - but got right up.

I didn’t bother watching what happened next I just remember the replay of the none clash of heads.

Unless the player walks around in a permanent daze, it would explain the defending in that first half.

Any possible questioning of the incident is of the referee. We did our job, played, and scored.

As it happens it was not a head injury. He collides with his own player, falls, doesn’t hit his head, and then holds his head play acting. I couldn’t be more glad we scored.

And that is why Jurgen is one of the best at what he does and is paid millions whilst I sit on my fat arse at home making nonsensical comments on an Internet forum.

I still thought he was crap when he had the ball mind.

As we are talking a H&S issue here with these head injuries…
Surely a committee needs to be formed to judge and punish these players retrospectively that are attempting to take advantage of why the rule has been put in place in the first place…
This ‘cry wolf’ habit will have serious repercussions on some unfortunate individual if this play acting is not stamped out

It doesn’t really help the argument that nethier player goes off for any amount of time.

Concussion protocol suggests that the players should immediately withdrawn so if he was hazy then he shouldn’t have played on.

Of course there is no clash of heads and Mike Dean reffed the situation as he saw it. He like me probably would not have concentrated on the Liverpool goal and the linesman would have flagged if he had seen anything.

This is weird analysis, we’ve been doing this all season, it wasn’t a tweak or a special instruction.

Henderson vs Everton or Keita vs United are the best examples of our right sided ‘8’ actually hurting sides from that position. Chamberlain did nothing offensive all game in those areas.

This is why Howe should’ve been challenged about his post match comments. It was an easy one for any decent journalist to ask.

Also how is Liverpool to blame for scoring when two Newcastle united players collided and one of them decided to fake a concussion ?

As we say at amateur level, you play to the whistle.

Someone posted the GIF of Trent’s bomb from behind the play. I can’t find it now, can someone repost? Mike Dean was almost single hand responsible for that goal not even happening. Scurries across just before Trent opens the hatch!

Such an amazing goal. The club posted the video to their YouTube account showing it from all angles and I’ve had it continuous loop.
