Liverpool vs Everton

**** it it's a big game. Decent start. Rooney should have seen red.

Just as I questioned it's absence in another thread.

Good man Niallo, no fear from you!
Closely monitoring this on screen two

I thought we were gonna stop match threads to annoy the other shower :P

In any case a much better game this than the last meeting, will suit Liverpool also I reckon

Liamalone

Decent game, proper derby style so far. The linesman on the near side has a red top under his kit it seems

bennyineire

Karius terrified of going up for a high ball FFS

Hardly, sure he gave him a hug

His legs just turned to jelly with no contact in that area.

Francie Barrett

Liverpool definitely the better team so far, looking more composed on the ball.

he fell over

Very soft peno.

Must be watching videos of Dominic Calvert-Lewin

It probably was a penalty, but by Christ, Lallana didn't half make a meal out of it. The problem is, if you don't go down, you don't get it.

Should have been yellow for a dive

Did Firminho spit at him?

Commentators are blind.

That's it. If Lallana stopped his run but stayed on his feet, nothing is given. Players feel the need to drop to the ground in order to make the referee give the pen for the impeedment.

Nope

Absolute filth from Everton.

I don't blame lalana, refs have been giving penalties for as bad/worse all season. Farcical officiating.

I thought VAR is available in this tie

bennyineire

How does Holgate not get a yellow there FFS

Robertson having a fine game so far, his type of game I'd imagine

Neither did firmino

How wasn't Holgate booked?

Also...wonder what was said to him to make him go mad like that?

Grayditch

Ha. Way to bottle a decision ref.

At least yellow.
Yellow for the foul, lucky not another for the pull on the ref.

niallo27

Stone wall pen for me. Everton really have regressed under Sam. Small time stoke they have turned into.

Predictable enough 'thanks' to get as well

He was calm until something was said which clearly had an effect.

Weirdly, it's only being used in the Brighton V Palace game.
Seems sort of uneven to use it in one game but not another, in the same round of the same competition...

Liamalone

On second viewing, soft penalty but a penalty nonetheless. Holgate lucky not to get booked there, silly boy.

Rooney diving as usual

Peter Reid looks the same as when he retired.

Some man.

Yeah, saying it was a dive was unfair. VERY soft, but given every week now, but modern football blah blah blah etc.

Yes because pushing a player that has no control over his momentum into the stands isn't at all dangerous.

Are the BBC panel on acid? Not a penalty??!

Particularly with what happened in the same fixture only a few weeks ago. Same thing exactly, stupid stuff from the defender, just as Lovren was an idiot back then. Put your arms on an attacker in the box, you're asking for trouble.

It wasn’t a pen. Since when is soccer a non contact sport ffs

Grayditch

He says "are you mad?" "you bitch".

We owe Everton one from last month. Soft pens are the best when your team gets them.

What match you looking at.

SlickRic

Never a penalty.
McCarthy is some thug.
Holgate needs a slap. Faking being spat at is pathetic.
Rooney should be off. Utterly out of control on that Gomez tackle.

Did Bobby say I’ll push you into the crowd?

And he reacted a few secs after Bobby had finished.
