The Liverpool Dive Prediction Thread

First up are Norwich.

I'm going for 64th minute.

 

Bobby had a trial run vs City and had a little slide to the knees with arms aloft after minimum contact. I'm going for an early one Bobby in the 8th minute.

 

34th minute Salah dive, after being brutally tackled by a CB’s wafting sleeve.

 

I think it will be Mo tonight.

Salah 24mins

 

I'm going 56th minute whilst already 2-0 up.

 

Interesting. I think you'll be 2-0 up, they'll get one back against the run of play and then you'll get the penalty within a few minutes.

 

Fair prediction.

Think Liverpool will come up short considerably this season due to zero transfers,

If you finish second then surely you need to invest to finish above them?

Fresh faces and all that as well.

Spurs a genuine threat for second.

 

As said in another thread, var in the 14th minute.

 

Not bringing in even a first team squad member is a bit weird.

Players need competition for places, and to see a club building from a position of strength.

You’ll still be right up there like, but I think you’ve missed an opportunity to push on.

 

It is odd. Doesn't appear to have been too much effort to get anyone either.

Even clubs winning the league bring in new faces for the reasons you mentioned.

I can see Liverpool being a good 10 points off City.

Bit pessimistic maybe but that's my gut feeling.

Everton on the other hand I can see competing for 5th with Arsenal and Chelsea.

 

Apparently December is a nightmare as they are in that world clubby club club thingy.

 

Salah dive on 42 mins.

 

Pen 88th minute at 1-1

Ref to overule VAR 'no penalty' decision

 

5th minute Salah

 

Klopp has mentioned a few times that the long term injuries we have back are like new signings, my problem with that is that every season your squad will pick up injuries so you're in the same situation.

Anyway he seems to know what he's doing so I'm happy enough.

 

Every team has injuries every season. The 'like new signings' line is an insult to fans intelligence tbh.

They're not like new signings as they're not new signings!!

We just have to accept our big shopping was done last summer and we're not like Man Utd and Man City that can continuously spend 100mil+ per window.

It was always going to be a tough window coming off the CL win... but no question we've missed an opportunity here. I suspect we'll need cover by January and get someone in.

 

The use of VAR is going to make predictions tricky.

Will it be used to cut out and punish ‘Pool’s incessant cheating inside and around the box?

Or will it be used by biased refs to justify their need to award penalties?

 

If you had managed to get into and around our box in the CL Final you could have tried it yourself.

 

Agreed.

If there is a poor start then questions will rightfully be asked.

Also hope the players don't use it as an excuse to slacken off although that's probably unlikely.
