Yeah, because it was the manager/players who denied us a clear penalty when Odegaard was playing basketball at Anfield. And when Doku kicked Mac Allister. And it was the manager/players who robbed us in the Spurs game.

games are 90min long, if we are THAT good it shouldnât have mattered.
that game yesterday was fucking gash. blaming the officials time and time again just makes us looking like a bunch of whiners. All clubs are subject to questionable decisions and you canât change that no matter how loud the squeaky wheel gets.

Seasons are 38 games long. no team is going to win every game; we should have won yesterday, and only have ourselves to blame for not doing so, as I posted in my first reply in this thread.
But over the course of the season fine margins count, and we have not been treated fairly at key moments.

I donât have time to keep up with the forums anymore. I posted my singular view on the match outcome and thatâs it.
I am not predicting that we wonât win the title, just that if we donât then thereâs no-one else to blame.
our ability to let our opposition stay in the match for 75min when they should have been buried at 30min, is appalling. even the bottom of the table cause us problems.
the Mainoo goal yesterday, one vertical pass went right through our entire midfield and sprung their break which led to the goal. all 3 midfielders were jogging back. We are taking the piss out of a Utd player in another thread (a forward, at that) for jogging at their back line, yet are totally oblivious that not a single one of our three mids made a serious attempt to chase the ball carrier down.

Are they now? Donât seem to recall the last time a questionable decision was made against Man City.
It doesnât matter how well or badly weâre playing. We shouldnât have to beat the refs as well.

Itâs ESPN but whatever:
I cant take that link seriously when a quick scroll down shows us at just -3 and has a glaring miss of the disallowed goal at Spurs which was looked at by VAR or even Odegaard juggling the ball in the Arsenal game, That could be another -5 there alone. Have i read this wrong or have they purposely not counted those 2 incidents for some unusual reason?

Itâs superficial at best and even that has us as the worst affected bar Sheffield Utd and Wolves.
I doubt that City are only 5 points better off than us due to ref decisions.

I donât comprehend this, I support Liverpool through good and bad, we werenât gash we played some fantastic football and our only failing is that we werenât clinical.
You could follow Man U and put up with how they played and only get a result through 2 worldies with no other quality.
I prefer to see us dominate teams, than have only 30% possession just hoofing it and win 2 nil all the time, the style and way we play football is more important than winning playing a negative brand of football, we are and entertaining team to watch.
People seem to think that players are robots, they arenât perfect

If I recollect our midfielders were behind the ball when Mainoo scored, yes we were out of position when he 1st received the ball, but listen to Jurgen and it was our defence to blame as they hadnât pushed up high enough to allow him all the room, but what does Jurgen know it was the midfielders to blame
You dont have time to keep up with the forums, but find time to research decisions against other teams?
Seeing as you are strapped for timeâŚ
Liverpool dropped points on Sunday because of poor finishing. Bad day at the office.
Liverpool dropped points vs Spurs, Arsenal and Man City due to biased/corrupt/inept decisions by officials.
Other seriously quesionable decisions did not cost Liverpool points, for example Casemeiro on Sunday.
Anything we win will be against those odds.

We always seem to be on the end of some shocking refereeing decisions in important games against nearest rival teams, that in all honesty, could be gauged as âsix-pointersââŚ

Itâs pointless. It is only showing VAR interventions, not where it didnât intervene when it should have done.
If it shows that a goal was legitimately chalked off for offside, then I have no problem with that. However it doesnât show the Diaz goal not awarded against Spurs, for example, because VAR didnât intervene when it should have done.
VAR is not the problem. Itâs the incompetent twats behind the screen that are screwing us over.

I understand and actually agree with you to a certain extent on this, but I look at it from a different view
a large portion of our possession is based around passing. Weâve all seen it, our two CB touch the ball more than anyone else on the pitch. Kelleher got more touches on the ball than our #9.
Because of the way we move the ball up the pitch, most of the time our opponent has time to get settled in behind the ball and cut their passing lanes down. This is very calculated in our efforts, but when your star player is completely rendered ineffective by this style it makes you wonder.
Not the first time weâve seen this struggle against a low block.
I am a little lost Mo is playing closer to goal ir receiving the ball closer to goal in the fancy diagrams, than is the norm as he normally is on the touchline.
Also Mo had lots of chances and was poor in his finishing and passing execution and the chances that fell to him were close to goal, so no idea what you are on about in regards to not utilising our star player.
For me Moâs numbers are great but his overall game has been poor this year
