    It's hilarious how many times players just foul Salah and not even a free kick given.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,758 ✭✭✭Ottoman_1000


    Taylor just needs a dodgy Tumble from a City player in the box to hand this one over. Woefully bias...



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,255 ✭✭✭eigrod


    Absolute disgraceful refereeing



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 15,945 ✭✭✭✭ctrl-alt-delete


    Letting it flow he was getting credit, but the ref has lost the plot now.

    Nunez shocking that he couldn't find Salah

    He had to pass there. Had to.

    Nunez looks an awful player. Just had to roll salah in and it was game over.

    Edit: Well maybe not awful but definitely not Liverpool standard anyway.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,104 ✭✭✭Big Ears


    Players starting to lose composure in the madness of this. Could be a some clear cut chances yet as a result.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,758 ✭✭✭Ottoman_1000


    I've never called out a ref or encouraged it from a manager, but I'd fully back Klopp if he lets rip on Taylor after this. How can so many dodgy decisions go their way?



  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators, Sports Moderators, Paid Member Posts: 36,197 CMod ✭✭✭✭ShamoBuc


    He is a complete handful for City since he came on!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,812 ✭✭✭✭sligeach


    This game should have been put to bed. Another chance gone for Liverpool. Too much weight on that pass from Nunez.

    I wouldn't mind if it was some 50/50 stuff that a ref decides he's going to have none of that, but some of their fouling is so cynical and obvious that blowing for a free wouldn't even bringing on slight criticism. They're bringing more limelight on themselves by not blowing for the frees...

    Anthony Taylor is a disgrace today.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 990 ✭✭✭earthwormjack


    Well yeah he's a big physical lad but his decision making is horrific and he looks nowhere near Liverpool standard so far, as evidenced by that disastrous attempt at a finish just now.

    His movement and runs are good though and he finds himself in good positions so maybe his form will turn around once he knocks a few goals in.

    Gomez man of the match - he played very well.

    Milner was the weak link aswell before the game, but serious credit to the pair of them,



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,805 ✭✭✭DellyBelly


    Incredible defense display from Liverpool....real backs to the wall display by them.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 61,272 ✭✭✭✭Agent Coulson


    Totally deserved by Liverpool.



  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators, Sports Moderators, Paid Member Posts: 36,197 CMod ✭✭✭✭ShamoBuc


    Undefeated City came to Anfield and lost.

    Not the full story.

    But it has a nice ring to it !!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,877 ✭✭✭✭Fitz*


    It's a lot easier say it after a win, but that ref had a shocker. So many bad decisions across the game.


    Salah plays a forward and not as a midfielder and look what happens.


    If Trent put in that performance from Cancelo today, there would be a new Sky Sports channel created to slate him so much.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,255 ✭✭✭eigrod


    Great win by Liverpool. Outplayed City for large parts and could’ve scored 3 more in the second half on clear chances alone.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 761 ✭✭✭mjsc1970


    Can't stand that Anfield crowd, but their team deserved the win today. The End.

    Brilliant game (as a neutral) to watch...



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,255 ✭✭✭eigrod


    There really needs to be an enquiry in to the persistent allocation of Manchester refs to Manchester teams games so often. It doesn’t happen in any other part of the Country.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 164 ✭✭slumdogemillionaire


    Great game for the neutral! Smash and grab from Liverpool



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,812 ✭✭✭✭sligeach


    The referee was biased right to the final whistle after 100 minutes. When injury time was supposed to be 6 minutes.



  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators, Sports Moderators, Paid Member Posts: 36,197 CMod ✭✭✭✭ShamoBuc


    😁😁😁 Smash and grab - love it.

    Really should have scored one or two more but such is life.

    A very good result for the league as a whole in fairness - even 'neutrals' would admit that.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 61,272 ✭✭✭✭Agent Coulson


    How did Pep not sent off or at the very least get carded for his antics throughout the whole game.

    Liverpool fully deserved that win IMO. Created more clear cut chances, especially in the 2nd half. More than double the expected goals too.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,203 ✭✭✭✭Utopia Parkway


    I mean they pretty much had nearly all the best chances. Probably should have won by more really only for daft decision making.



  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators, Sports Moderators, Paid Member Posts: 36,197 CMod ✭✭✭✭ShamoBuc


    He is capable of giving us as much entertainment as the players in fairness.

    I thought City were in complete control. Salah had the one on one that Ederson saved but that was it. They had the couple of botched breaks after that when City were pushing but overall I thought City were comfortable (apart from the first 5 mins)
