Good point
Striker scores a world class overhead kick every week and everyone fapping about it for days and no free kick forthcoming when he done it in a crowded box

Attachment 1477 Still think it isnt a red peeps?
So we red card every high foot even if no-one is a round?
he was 2 yards outside the 18, the keeper was 10 yards away when he last looked for him and from then on he only had eyes for the ball,
if its a red, we need to start red carding any high foot regardless of the opposition players location - say goodbye to bicycle kicks etc etc
I think he had every right to assume he was in open space/enough space.
he got it wrong obviously, but it wasn't done with intent.
I hate goalkeepers being a protected species.
What do you mean if noone is around? He planted studs in the guys face. What's so hard to understand?
Check out page 26 on this bad boy. Covers Mane's challenge + your bicycle kick thoughts.

Oh wait I see now, sorry nvm.
Cheers,
Plague.
I have collected a keeper in almost the same way. Granted, I had moulded studs and so the damage was minimal. GK kept playing.
In my instance, I honestly only had eyes for the ball coming over my shoulder, foot raised in an attempt to take it down and shoot.
My point is that you can't judge a foul by the damage it does to an opposition player. But more by the intent or recklessness. I escaped any penalty if I remember correctly (aside from the obligatory free kick).
Chances are if the GK had made a meal of it, I could have seen red as well.
Great first half this morning, but the second half was and a lot less structured. I couldn't really see why because I had a 3 year old in my face saying "I'm hungry" for the majority of it, but the structure just seemed to be lost. It alsmost seemed to me as though Liverpool lost their legs and Klopp took too long to make a change to freshen it up.
Moreno lucky to remain on the pack, as was their right back.
MoM for me was the Sevilla coach for his second half antics throwing the ball away from Gomez.
But still, the crowd were immense and it was nice to be getting up at 4:30 on a Thursday mornign again.
Post 2 photos on his wall.
1st is Boogs wearing that peach atrocity.
2nd is Labis bare chest.
Post a note 'from' Santa:
"Dear JP Jnr, guess which one little assholes get for Christmas. I'm watching you".
Straight A's til the end of year JP. Guaranteed.
Thank me later.
Anyone else see David Luiz get a yellow for dangerous play going for a bicycle kick last night?
Yep, clear as mud.
It made me happy.
January seems to have come early this year. Not been great results since the return from the International break...and the transfer window closing.
I'm a proud Red but I have to say it is embarrassing how amateurish our defence is and even more so that there was nothing done about it in the off season.....I'm sorry but VVD is hardly the only decent defender in world football and Klopp has simply ****ed up not doing anything about it. He needs to swallow some pride and get someone in the teach this mob how to defend.....
still pretenders
When we can consistently beat the bottom 14 teams we will win the league.
Until such time, we can continue to get mixed/better than average results against the top 6, but it counts for very little. Beat arsenal every time, counts for nothing when we lose to Burnley or draw with Newcastle.
I listened to a post match podcast of The Anfield Wrap yesterday and they were whinging about "how they can't keep doing this, it's hard to get contributors, hard to talk about another tough game, etc". FFS - try to talk about 11 consecutive matches without a win!!
Haven't watched the game, probably won't. Hopefully they all come back better following the International break.
Our attack is killing us. Can’t expect to win games if we only score one goal. Needed 4 more goals today.
If mane played today, we could’ve at least made it 4-3. Which means firmino or Sturridge need to start contributing more. A goal or two from each of them would’ve been handy this morning. Klopp needs to address what should’ve been solved over the summer. Put Lovren as part of our front 3. Bloke makes goals happen.
/sarcastic rant.
Need 2 new CBs. Whoever we have gets infected with Liverpool defensive virus rendering them useless.
Why did Lpool put all their eggs in the Van Djik basket and how is Lovran still a prem defender. Either your coach is a moron or your board ****ed big time or both.
You think that's bad.
The biggest problem is trying to workout how the reds can jump above Burnley on the table. tough assignment
Salah would probably be on track to a record goal scoring season if he could finish clinically.
so the on again off again thing with Van Dijk finally had a happy ending

happy for Van Dijk's agents anyway
Coutinho packed his bags yet?
Gotta pay that bill somehow.
He is not the only player that will leave. Juve are looking at Can, one other (can't remember the name) has been inquired about by another EPL club. Inquiry in Spain re Salah as well..
