Technically yes. But it wasn't enough, the vast majority of refs would have ignored it. Do it enough times, like skrtel has, and a soft ref was eventually going to give one.
More than matched? When you lose 4-3? And one was an own goal from a dodgy free kick? And another was a dodgy penalty? And no penalty given to Suarez? 2-0 down after 20 minutes. We pressed the suicide button entirely of our own free will. You were decent but that's all Good luck for the rest of the season
Technically yes = penalty. No ref worth their salt would have ignored that - a striker being wrestled to the ground as a ball was being crossed to him. Dear me. Most ref's would have given Dirtel a second yellow so he was a lucky boy. Continued to could and his manager took him off before he got himself sent off. Very entertaining game - two (at times) technically gifted sides going for a win. Enjoy the three points.
Mignolet is ****ing rubbish. He's way to shaky and that doesn't make it any easier for the defenders. He's stuck on his line and never comes out to collect a ball. The were many occasions where the defenders were shielding the ball expecting the Gk to rush in and collect the ball, but he's got his foot glued on the line. Lloris in comparison is a perfect example of how a GK should have command of his area. He has complete command over the penalty box, sometimes he makes stupid mistakes misjudging , but the defenders can rely on him more often than not.
Wasn't the game but watched in the US. Both commentators wondered how Skirtel wasn't given second yellow for dragging Bony down. A penalty all day every day. Both commentators wondered why Suarez wasn't booked for assimilation and both thought he spurned opportunities in the box trying to gain penalty.
Skrtel wasn't taken off it was Agger. Not every foul in the box results in a yellow card. Pulling someone over outside the box wouldn't be given as a yellow so why should it be given inside the box? And Suarez wasn't booked for "being a minority group who gradually adopts the customs and attitudes of the prevailing culture"? Not sure why he would be booked for that
pfft... he's been **** all season anyways. You are lucky Sakho and Enrique were out for us today. It was always going to be a mauling, you lot were quite fortunate to have had 3. Is that the 1st time you've managed 3 goals in a game?
When you have a player like Flores in your side you can hardly talk! Now just toddle -off to your own slum and we'll see you next year - that's if you don't contrive to join your fellow sheep shaggers and get relegated. You played a brick-****house as CF who bounced people off all day. Yet he 'magically falls on floor when touched (not wrestled). Grow up!
Foredickdave they don't come any scummier than Germanic half breeds like you, clearly your from the Liverpool slums!...............
who is going to have a cheeky bet on same scoreline again next season lol. no one thought it would happen in the Newcastle games, so never know. bet the bookies will be too scared for good odds next time round.
Go watch the replay again, and tell me Skrtle doesn't have any afters, your so blinkered its beyond, go see an ophthalmologist and get him to take a look at those eyes of yours. The disgrace is you trying to condone his follow through on Shelvey.
No but when you purposely take out a player then more often or not, that results in a yellow card, and that is what Skrtle done, he didn't tackle the guy, it was off the ball, and he took him out on purpose to stop him getting at the ball, and should have received a yellow card for it, it was Skrtle who got lucky, not us for getting the penalty.
Cast your mind back a few months, Liverpool 1 - 3 Swansea ok more than a few, more like 14 lol but still. Its a big reason why we are in Europe this season, and you are not. Oh wait, you only just beat a team who had european commitments only 3 days ago, bless
Seriously though, a lot of you are like flies round a carcass....but I have noticed: no more "Brendan was a third voice manager, glad we got rid because we got".....wait.....who was it you got again? You played well today, we didn't but still won. It's why, without slagging Rodgers moved to us from you. Ok?
always room for improvement, and also our defence was ****e. obviously not going to be happy about that, as when we play a decent team we may come unstuck
