    I watched the game and thought it was a penalty to Suarez.But after seeing the slo-mo I think it may have been a dive.He is just so good at it that's it is pretty much impossible to be sure.Went down at exactly the right time but just seemed minimal contact,if any.

    What about other decisions CT? Knee high tackle followed by the studs down the shin - not even a yellow. Studs up 2 footed lunge scissor kick - not even a free kick. He was the best in the world at one stage but now he believes it and has gone off the boil.

    An absolute scandalous performance by Webb yesterday and it makes you wonder if it there was a betting syndicate involved! What else can explain the fact that Eto was allowed to remain on the pitch after his aggressive assault on Henderson without even being cautioned? And then to rub salt further into the wound he pops up to score the winner and then was let off a clear stone bonking penalty on Suarez! The two footed scissor tackle on Lucas by Oscar did not even warrant a foul!

    Webb used to be a top referee but after his poor performance at the World Cup final he now believes the hype. A few games in Leagues 1 or 2 should bring him back down to earth! I was completely embarrassed by his performance yesterday!

    It couldn't have happened to a more deserving team IMO. Rodgers should stop moaning and trying to be SAF, and Suarez should stop being a prima donna. For all his skill Suarez is summed up for me by his handball on the goal line in the World Cup in South Africa, just as Maradona is summed up by his cheating handball against England. Players of such great talent should be above cheating and diminish themselves by it. <ok>

    Well I was watching it with my son and we both wanted a Liverpool win but although I agree on the other points I think he probably got the Suarez dive right.

    Even if the Suarez foul should have been a penalty, Suarez has nobody to blame but himself!

    I see you have swallowed the Mourihno line!

    Eto deliberately ran across his path so what the hell was he supposed to do? <doh>
    The Hazard claim was more of a dive and deserved a yellow card as he was looking for it!
