    I don't understand people thinking it's a pen?

    It was a horrible decision though. There were 3 players unmarked in the box waiting to slot it home. A similarly bad decision by a defender to give away a goal results in the player getting scorn heaped on him. I know it's different for attacking players, they need to be creative and try things which don't always come off, but such an obvious one like that can be costly. I'm pretty sure any of our other three would have gone for the right ball there.

    How good was Gomez today? He is my MOTM.

    I don’t blame for Klopp rotating because he has to. It should have paid dividends if it wasnt for some individual errors.

    It’s good that we’re rotating but not good that we’re rotating with **** like Hendo and Milner.

    It wasn't a pen though, he's right.

    The meltdown bit is funny though.

    Gives the Lovren haters a bit more ammo - as if they needed it.

    It’s funny that. The ref gave it, Klopp and Liverpool fans don’t think it is.

    Would you think the same if it were given against Williams?

    It's a hand in the back.

    Its clear the lad slowed up inviting contact but lovren barrels in and the hand on back is extremely clear especially from refs viewpoint

    It's a pen imo. The lads done very well, clever play and that's not cheating.

    It's a contact sport, you will touch other players. Never a pen.

    Of course it is. The fact is that there are players on all teams that do it doesn't change what it is i.e. gaining an unfair advantage.

    I wouldn't be calling for it if it was the others way and would be shocked if it was given. But happy.<laugh>

    Touch yes, if he'd barged him with his torso no pen. Thats the smart ddfender play, lovren put a clear hand on bavk and looked like a push first time round and on replay just looks stupid.

    Lewin very smart, lovren very very dim.

    I can see why it has been given
    Call it what you will clever or cheating, nothing our players haven’t done
    As with all of these it is consistency
    There were at least 5/6 pushes went unpunished for both sides
    In the Utd game at mo there have been more as both sides fighting hard
    Soft, yes - pen, maybe but if that is the bar.... - deserved, no but Everton finding feet under new manager
    Great result for them - poor for us
    But not end of season
    When dust settles bearing in mind our faults we are in a good position :)

    I couldn't disagree more, never, ever a pen. The ref robbed us.

    Direction of ball? Direction of Lovren? Direction of C-L?

    He slows up to stop running out of play.

    I understand the frustration because he was looking for it and it was extremely soft..

    But Lovren is at fault for the penalty. Not just for putting his hands on him but he misread the flight of the ball.
