Fookin hell, mate. I can't believe that hasn't worked its way into the officials match report. He's out of order there, tbh.
Cos they probably felt that they ****ed them over enough during the game. <laugh>

Surprised that's the 1st I've seen that tho, could easy have given him a red for it after the whistle

Tbf many of Grealish's are fouls but over his time he's made it part of his game.

I wouldn't even say he's looking for the foul, it's worse than that, he's adopted it tactically so that he'll make runs into areas and towards positions where he knows he'll get fouled. Technically nothing wrong with it but it's such a **** approach to playing the game as a footballer.

Jamie Vardy is the best in the PL at this. He has elevated simulating and pre-empting contact to an art form over the years.

... but at least he doesn't do the backing into defenders to make them topple over your back malarkey like serial offender Harold Kane ... so no risk of serious injury to fellow professionals ... which I'm sure we can all applaud? ... <cheers>

He's worried because Pep (and now Touchel) are proving Klopp to be nothing more than a whinging angry jaw <laugh>
I used to like Klopp. Now I see him for what he is. A terribly bad loser who always blames fixtures, kick off times or something else when his team gets beat.

He should be more dignified... like Pep.
 
Does it matter in the snide stakes though?

Winning pens is probably more of a crime? Kane's won a few through dastardly means. Vardy too. This could get ugly. And I'm not talking about their looks.
TBF since Conte has been around Kane seems to have cut it out a bit.
Perhaps someone who has actually played the game has pointed out the error of his ways or simply said "if you did that to me you would not walk off the pitch on your own legs".
