If you want to be pedantic, the peno for United (that satisfyingly seems to really annoy some) was from an incident that happened in play. I didn’t see it but technically if a player was offside when the incident happened, then the incident didn’t happen in play.

But I don’t think that should matter, players can be sent off after a game has finished. Sounds like it could be the old England international benefit of the doubt card being applied. If it’s as bad as some are saying, Pickford should be off.

It was one of those ones that can easily see a leg get broken. VVD looked to have his foot planted and Pickford just jumped at him feet first.

Edit: can't find a video but here's a photo.

Can only be described as a flying rodeo clown attempt at a clearance with van dijk's leg the ball apparently

Keane 1-1

Battle of the shyter goalkeeper this

This is it · 17-10-2020 11:52AM

Strong header but Adrian needs to do better I think

Too soon bro. We know how this ends.

FluffPiece · 17-10-2020 11:53AM

This really does seem to be the derby of two **** keepers. 20 mins in and both are talking points already

17-10-2020 11:54AM

Adrian and no Van Dyk. Everton should win this by 3 or 4

Pretty much a knee high slide tackle! A genuine leg breaker. I don't think their was intent(not that it matters) he's just an idiot.

Edit: Is calling a player an idiot for a challenge apologies if so

I don’t see the difference between that and a terrible tackle any other time in a game. The rules are there to protect players and to discourage dangerous play. It’s not rocket science.

Maybe in big games like this refs are encouraged to be a little bit more frugal with reds........................ And When it’s English international players are involved.. :pac:

I'd let him off with that given the power and how close in it was. Questions to be asked of the defence though.

Shanotheslayer · 17-10-2020 11:56AM

Who said Liverpool players didn't dive before? :pac:

If it was De Gea, Alisson or Ederson they would have been booked or sent off I think. Bits of English bias in the decision I think.

Coleman off injured with Hamstring.

New signing Godfrey on

yourdeadwright · 17-10-2020 12:03PM

Regardless of the player that has to be a red for Pickford horror tackle knee high

Mod: No. See OP.

Poor miss by Mane. Robbo cutting back this game has been brilliant

Shanotheslayer · 17-10-2020 12:10PM

Tackle looks worse every time they show it

TitianGerm · 17-10-2020 12:11PM

I really think refs need to stamp out that asking for a card thing. Book any player who shows the imaginary card every single time.

So dangerous and the player had to leave the pitch. Whatever anomaly in the rules allows that to be overlooked need to be looked at. Doesn't to any good to Liverpool today of course.

and it would self resolve after maybe 5 cards; the players would stop it. i'd also red card the players that surround and scream at a ref.

Exactly. Follow rugby and only allow the capitan speak to the ref. Anyone else going after him and they're given a warning, do it a second time and your booked. After a few weeks the players would cop on to themselves.

RasTa · 17-10-2020 12:20PM

Did he not get a peno for that tackle?

Trigger · 17-10-2020 12:21PM

VAR was looking at the whole incident, how they came to the conclusion it wasn't a Red card is dumbfounding

VVD? No

irishguitarlad · 17-10-2020 12:22PM

Poor game.

yourdeadwright · 17-10-2020 12:23PM

VVD was offside so no Pen,
But Pickford had to go,

No VVD was slightly offside when they drew the lines. Free out for Everton and no punishment for Pickford.

Agent Coulson · 17-10-2020 12:26PM

The VAR guys can see a ball barely brushing a hand yet can't see that.

i'd take a harsher line and issue reds. its currently not allowed but the sanctions aren't enough to cut it out. either that, or the ref's dont have the balls to enforce the rules.

offside or not, that needs to be a red for pickford. horrendous challenge.

They're saying on NBC that VAR didn't even review the Pickford tackle.
