We all know Lovren is likely to **** up in most games he plays, not all, but most. I don't attach any blame to him for that none pen. yesterday. He does need replacing though, I think we all agree on that.
Pen or not, how can you not blame him? He simply needed to stand up and show him away from goal. Instead, he ran up to him like he wanted to rape the poor lad
Rubbish. Lovern got too close too quickly and got done as a result. The Everton player was going away from goal so, very simply, he didn't need to get that tight. It was just stupid from Lovren (I usually defend Lovren too).
We'll d'uh. Point is, there's statistics and lies. Was Siggy's on-target, easily saved shot just before half time a better chance than Mane's?
It's called "shots on target" not a better chance. it doesn't matter how good a chance is if you can't put the ball between the posts.
Behave ffs, he moves across to shield the ball, Lovren pushes him in the back, it was bloody awful defending
does he **** he moves into Lovren with a little hop - the ball was clearly irrelevant to him.He is just playing the man not the ball. TBF this playing the man not the ball is a personal bugbear of mine just like defenders "shepherding" the ball out of play whicg appears to mean running sideways i.e. at 90 degrees to the ball to stop someone going past them. other bugbears Players having their legs taken out from under them when they jump for the ball - so dangerous. players rolling 6 times as if dying whilst looking to see if ref has given the foul - most recent example being Mane yesterday The crap managers & pundits talk. Players pretending to be injured to stop the game. others will come to me beautiful game my arse
The time when DCL pushed Lovren in the back while chasing back was a foul, but that’s been forgotten by the Anfield faithful. Lovren threw himself to the ground then, so karma wins.
Yes, it hit the target and could have gone in. Mane’s nearly hit the corner flag and had no chance of going in......not on target
When Williams has to drag Martina through 90 minutes you know it’s not a defensive masterclass. It was what was required. Two kids and two players not at the required level kept out an abject Liverpool arrack apart from one error from Martina that allowed Salah space.
I've seen it a few more times since yesterday's argument and it's even clearer to me now. C-L clearly engineers that pen, I don't see how anyone can think otherwise, tbh.
A clear push. Calvert Lewin was penalised for a similar push on Lovren when chasing him down. Some offence, same result-foul. Shame Lovren did his push in the box
Yeah, you get to watch a 3 hour loop of Sourness, Carragher, Steve Nicol and Murphy explaining exactly why it was a penalty and what a prize donk Lovren is
Hmm, which one is leaning in here and which is two feet off the ground running forward (not leaning back like some think)
