Match Day Thread Liverpool v Man City

[Mark Blow]

vAR has now cost us points against both Arsenal ( Odegaard basketball ) and City ( Doku chest kick) yet we get called for getting favourable decision. That’s 4 points gone. We’d be 4 ahead of Arsenal and 5 ahead of City right now.

 

[Zanjinho]

Good we did not lose, Arsenal still have to play city at the Etihad.

Not sure what I'd like from that game now. A draw would give us the opportunity to reclaim top but Man City stay close behind. An Arsenal win would give us that gap from Man City and in reality, Arsenal will probably **** up at some point in the run in

You missed the big one against Spurs!

So, Doku attempts open-heart surgery on MacA but it's all ok because he gets a tiny touch on the ball first.
In all other circumstances a follow through that ends up injuring someone is penalised - getting the ball first isn't the deciding factor.

 

[Garlic Klopp]

If Diaz and Gakpo did not dawdle on the ball so much we would have won today, and it was a deffo penalty in the last minute. You are never going to get that type of penalty given against City though

It's dangerous play whether he gets the ball or not.

Yep, and we’d probably be favourites for the league after all that.

Lots of talking points but end of the day it was a great match, can't be arsed crying about decisions now just move on and win the next game.

I think Gakpo will be one of the first to use the exit door once the new manager arrives. He's a decent player; good ball control and a very powerful shot, but he takes too long too make what usually turns out to be a poor decision. Very frustrating player.

I'd have left nunez on here and rested him on midweek.

I hated that sub.

gakpo is not a forward he drops deep all the time so you have to go past him.

I'd be happy for salah to **** off with Egypt now..he needs games.

10 games to go. we have city behind us. it's a straight shoot to the line where 10 wins can do it.

It was a quality game, really enjoyed it. It's what football is about, two sides going for the win and both are disappointed to only get a point.

The problem is those decisions have already had a big bearing on the current league positions as they currently stand.

Same. Soon as I saw it I thought 'game over'. I was wrong, we still had chance, unfortunately Gakpo doesn't seem to know what to do very often.

It was a good game ruined by the ref's decision at the end.

Neither does Nunez to be fair

Done though innit.

gakpo was offside all the time as well bit nobody would paly it at him.

nunez might live offside but he strikes it.

gakpo needs 4 touches to decide and diaz has a terrible first touch often.

 

[Mark Blow]

Nice to see Klopp taking the piss out of Sky and Mike Dean

 

[InBiscanWeTrust]

Klopp sounds like a fan right now! Guy has bundles of energy!!! Gonna miss his infectious attitude.
