The worst thing about this game is the fact that i swapped Firmino into my FF team for Jesus.
 
Trent misses an easy pass, turning our counter-attack into City's. He's been really poor today.
 
I really think people are confused about this sending off here, hes not been sent off for high feet. Hes been sent off because he was late in a dangerous tackle.

If a player clears the ball and another player misses it going for the ball and ends up going knee high on the other players its a straight red. Right? Everyone agreed?

Well this is the same but the players FACE!!
The keeper won the ball, Mane misstimed the challenge and kicked him in the head.

Imagine the keeper boots that clear and Mane lunges late and takes him out at the knee, no one would argue with the red. THATS HIS FACE.

Its not about the height of his feet, its a dangerous and misstimed tackle, he missed the ball and took out the man. Its not even for one nano second debatable.

Its a crying shame because clearly there was no intention, but it doesnt matter, it was an awful misstimed challenge and he had to go.
If he had knicked the ball it may have been a different story.


Yup, we saw in the last game Salah nicking the ball ahead of Bellerin before he went on to score against Arsenal, Bellerin's foot was high as Mane's but the attacking player got the first touch and Bellerin let him go because it would have been reckless and a sending off. Unfortunately this time the 'keeper got ahead of Mane and Mane went right through him with a late and dangerous tackle that sparked him out. Had Mane slightly pulled out and let Ederson head it away, he'd still be on the pitch even if his foot was still high.
 
I'm in a beach bar and I'm only watching it as we've been sitting in the beach every day since Monday and it's making a change.

Not a nice change, obviously.
 
Fuck. Nice finish. Again, no defending. Matip and Can ballwatching. Milner half heartedly tracking back. Mignolet no chance.
 
You know, it's was a pathetic decision that cost us the game, but the way we've capitulated since is equally pathetic.
 
This is so wrong ... klopp really has no idea how to set up a 10 man gameplan. Really poor.
 
The Mane sending off shouldn't have affected us this badly.

I can't decipher the tactics we've come out with in the second half.

If Mané had gone in with his head, I think he may have won the ball - because he slowed to lift his foot that high. Then, he would have been clattered for red on the GK. Regardless, of referee decision, it was definitely a poor decision by Mané. Frustrating. Will be good to see how team responds mid-week.
 
We should get as much criticism for this game as Arsenal got after we beat them. This just isn't good enough all over the park or from the dugout.
