Liverpool v Tottenham Hotspur Match Thread

Firmino and Mane were both pretty awful today, Firmino's touch, passing.. everything was off.

Probably struggled to see the play around the fat motherfucker of a ref. Even I couldn't account for the gravitational effect that overweight cocksucker would have on the ball.
 
No it wasn't, watch the replay again, he goes for the ball and then sees the player and is clearly pulling his leg away, their player went down like a sack of shit.
He did go down easily. He also got hit. It’s a tough one to call because if the opponent is kicked in the pen you’d always have a decision to make. Also to me it looked a pen in real time too. How are the refs supposed to see it any different?

My main frustration is the refs waves on and only rarely would a linesman het into the action here, but again if he was certain he saw a kick to the back of Lamela’s leg what should he do?
 
Whilst he was pulling his leg away, the general consensus amongst pundit these days is that if you touch a man in the box (however slight) and don't cleanly win the ball, said player is "entitled" to go down and earn a pen.

Not for me.

Kane offside and dive.

Lamela exaggerating contact.

Poor officiating in my opinion.

But no one will shed a tear for us.
 
Yep, off days for them, the entire squad looked shattered which is worrying.

It was high intensity and we had to play that way really to get anything, so it's no surprise that they looked knackered. The subs were awful though and disrupted the system if anything. Firmino just looked out of sorts, Ings or Solanke probably should have come on for him (assuming they were on the bench).
 
1st pen was offside aswell.
So Moss doesnt aknowledge what the lino says, but listens to him for the second when he has waved play on.

Worst refereeing ever.
 
What pish. That was not a peno just like the previous one.

The first was offside and a dive.

The second one.. what would you have said if it was Salah being kicked in their area like that? Not a big pen of course but one you can at least defend if you are going by the rules.

Anyways we were asking for trouble all of the second half that’s the main worry really..

I don't want to agree, but I do.
 
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp speaking to Sky Sports: "It was clear two sides high quality both wanted to win desperately, but the result was massively influenced by linesman decisions. We have to take it, that's how it is."

Asked if referee Jon Moss had explained the two Tottenham penalty decisions: "Did you ever hear? I am not allowed to go in their room until half an hour after. It was clear offside, unbelievable, I don't know what they were discussing.

"Yes, Virgil van Dijk touches him, but we all know Lamela wants the touch and we all know they were so hard fouls in the first half and we didn't get any fouls. That was the level for the game today, but then a situation in the last minute like that? Wow. He wanted to be middle of interest and he is."

Not sure why your trying to justify it.
