Yup...we all said it... officials were awful. Second half mostly to Watfords detriment...

In general

Blowing up non existent fouls then ignoring pretty rough ones.

Just plain mediocre supposed professionals...
The ref keeping the ball in on the touchline <laugh>.....wtf..............then giving a throw in o_O
 
Shout out to Mignolet tonight? Thought he was very capable and confident claiming the high balls all game.

From what i saw 60 mins onwards, yeah he looked good coming for a lot of balls and catching them. Made a cracking save from capoues shot.

Only dodgy thing was that really weak save from Janmaats shot where you were thinking is this going to be weak hand minger
 
lol what did made me laugh was that rough tackle on firmino right at the end when he tried to shield it. Really knew how to deal with the time wasting!.


How was that not a foul. When you see the free kicks defenders get in those positions and Watford player just steamed into back of him no where near the ball nt looking to win it!
 
Lallanas been out for months, come on and pretty much played 70 mins. Was clearly knackered and rusty so can give him some leeway for a poor touch there. His first touch is normally his strength so.

Not denying that, can't remember who commented but said it was a good piece of defending. It wasn't! it was a **** touch by lallana!

Both a guess. If defender doesn't track back then poor touch from Lallana still gives him a tap in.

Yeah was a foul. Dunno how they got away with it. One of those from a neutral where you think lets see him waste any more time now!
 
Cmon Jimmy, you gave Lallana a hard time earlier for not spotting a much harder pass. All he had to do was roll it squad and has a tap in. Level on GD with city, every goal helps.

Studge was good when he came
on but he needs to release the ball early not try and beat every player.

I agree - Sturridge should have done a lot better. But thankfully, he won the free kick and killed time in stoppage time. It was a good 10 min cameo.

Lallana was ok, especially after coming back from injury. <ok>

Not sure it would even be a tap in. The ball ends up behind lallana after his crap touch.

And its not realy good defending just because he ran back.... lol. Lovren and Matip really set your standards lower havent they :bandit:
 
no it wasn't, it was a terrible lack of composure but lallana culminating in a terrible touch which put the ball behind him which the defender could then clear
Tbf the ball was a bobbler - they are a nightmare to control
