I went mad at the end of the Sheffield game when Wilder was going on about Virgil swat of his player to get him him of his back and the little shove from Konate where his player rolled around with his eyes looking at the ref to see if he gets a penalty but he ignored the number of times his players flattened ours on each corner and set pieces proper wrestling moves totally ignored by the ref and VAR and MOTD
I think in future we should make a video of those instances so that we can send it to MOTD and see if they play it?
Our commentary claimed the delays was over a potential offside. They determined it was a foul quickly but took them that long to verify there was no offside.
This is fair, but as a player you calibrate based on what the ref is doing. To me it felt a bit of a random act of wanting to punish these sorts of fouls and so could definitely understand palaver players or fans feeling aggrieved
Awful first half. With Endo in particular having his worst day he’s had in a Liverpool shirt. Szoboslai too was unusually off. Really outside of Virgil and Quansah, no one played particularly well in that first half.
I thought it was better second half and I’ll always enjoy a come from behind win, it doesn’t matter how crap we play.
Close to the midway point of the season, and we are top of the league. Most goals scored and best defensive record in the league. It’s a good time to be a Liverpool supporter, even after a pretty crap 70 minutes of football today.
Roy Hodgson has been a football manager for 107 years and still doesn’t know that standing next to the ball and and stopping someone taking a free kick is a yellow card.
