Wrong. He marked out the wall and then blew his whistle. Mignolet just didn't react and was still urging his back line to move out as he took the kick.
Harold Webb said something about the free kick. please log in to view this image Referee of referees. Howard Webb: My thoughts on Chelsea’s free-kick against Liverpool http://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/761544/Howard-Webb-Liverpool-Chelsea-David-Luiz
It was never a free kick, but listen, it was twenty five yards out and wasn't exactly a dodgy pen (they got that later). I'm reminded years ago when Stevie went over easily in the last minute at Villa in the same position, then converted the free-kick. This was a Villa team with Ashley Young in it, but it didn't stop their fans and the anti-Liverpool media acting as if the ref had given us a pen and forced their goalie to be chained to the corner flag whilst it was taken.
Still true. Mig wasn't ready - idiot. Ref gave Chelsea helping hand awarding free kick for diving. Not sire what problem is
Robbed is what you said? Behave, it was a freekick about 30 yards out. Your original post intimated that the keeper not being ready was somehow the refs problem. The irony of Gerrard whining about Hazard buying the freekick at HT was ****ing delicious.
I think 1-1 was a fair result. It could have been worse if costa had scored the penalty. So let's take that point. It is now a matter of staying in the top 4 and being there in May. Crucial month coming up.
Obviously he knows a leg swinger when he sees one. As for the pen, I can only assume Mig didn't hear the whistle because of the noise, because even though he has his faults, looking the other way as a shot is coming in isn't one of them. Tbh, I'm not sure he'd have got near it if he had been looking.
Me neither mate, as he'd have been stood further to his left, and that freekick was sublime in fairness.
Free kick or not, that display of organisational ineptitude and lack of awareness was totally unforgivable at a professional level. Hopefully the management look on this as disgraceful and have a serious plan of action to finally get this keeper situation and defensive frailty sorted in the summer. Heads got to roll
No heads to roll for me, Migs has been very good since his return. Sort out the LB situation and find a partner for Matip, also a quality DM to protect. It was poor organisation, the important thing is being better next time
