New Thread to continue discussion for General Premier League. Old thread closed.
Can't be throwing stuff on pitch like that them days should be long gone.
That happened just after the 90 though. Who cares. It would be something if it happened before Everton hoofed their hail mary passes at the end
Hilarious

This one and I'd say you could be right.
Ollie is one of England’s finest refs, he doesn’t deserve any of this will be the narrative.
The reality couldn’t be further from the truth, that’s the nicest way I’ll put it.
The foul on Salah near the end, on the edge of the box, that he didn’t give was very strange - I’d say that’s what outraged Slot.
This, especially the last bit.
Oliver will still referee at the weekend and get the big games, but the occasion really got to him this evening and he caused a lot of the problems at the end.
Think the bottle was thrown from the away fans section
Oliver had a poor game, where he got the extra time is something only he knows, the stoppage wasn’t over 2 mins and there were no subs in added time. It wasn’t a free on Konate though. Slot lost his composure big time and deserved to be sent off.
Yawn
No sure it'd have to be from a rogue Everton fan among them, sure the Pool fans were 100% sitting there peacefully and weren't given Doucoure a word of abuse all night.
Well when the defender is pushed as he is about to head it clear it will look like bad defending
Was the bottle thrown not by Liverpool fans? It was right in front of their section.
Serious strike by Tarkowski, thought when was falling to him it was being ballooned over but christ Allison had zero chance of getting to it. Awful defending for it too
Mental last few minutes there.
I can see Everton getting a big fine for failing to control their fans with the pitch invasion. I can also see Everton getting a big fine for their fans throwing a bottle at the Liverpool players.
I think Doucoure might get a ban for inciting the big pile on the end with his celebrating in front of the opposition fans and then also Jones could get a ban for his part in also inciting that by reacting in such an aggressive manner towards him.
And then finally maybe another fine for both clubs for failing to control their players.
Michael Oliver will escape punishment for his horror show of a performance though. He got his wish at the end with the red cards.
LOL
Apparently Oliver is in the changing rooms sending more players off, he is an entertaining referee, there was no bad tackle in the first half & it had 5/6 bookings, he creates his own pressure.
Didn't see the match but I'm guessing Michael Oliver show as usual?
Updated table
I'm surprised at Liverpool reaction....not very classy I have to say. A draw not a bad result
Michael Oliver will be thinking...
He had a shocking performance.
Sore drawers
Deadly
Thanks be to god that goal wasn't disallowed for some footling infringement…
Please don't be offside
Liverpool will be so annoyed with the referee. He played 7 minutes of added time, when there 5 minutes to be added. There was the clash of the 2 Everton players, but I don't think that took up 2 minutes.
Exactly. Stop start and every small contact is a foul.
Jasus this match is awful. So stop start, Oliver is blowing for every minor touch.
I called Everton causing an upset before it, and I they look most likely to do something. Liverpool really off it here.
No he's not. Salah was great last year and has been great last year. This has been Salah for a number of years with the all round game. He was twice as good a player in 21/22 then he was in 17/18 even if he scored more goals in 17/18. He was a better all round player in 21/22. He was injured last year for a large period so people forget how good he actually was and how much that injury affected last years title race.
And I said that Liverpool as a collective have not improved massively, not individual players.
In what manner do you think they have improved?
As a collective, I don't think they have improved from an attacking sense. They have a fit Salah for the entirity of this season alright though. Gakpo is playing better but Nunez is not involved this season so somewhat balanced off.
The midfield change seems to be more from a different tactical set up to that of actually playing better. Maybe this is what you're referring to. They have changed how they play in midfield with more of a slower pace and more control wanted, as opposed to be more quick paced direct passing style.
Konate is having a much better season than last year alright but he has played to this level in previous seasons at times. Alisson is not at his previous levels at all, and Robertson is much worse. I think overall the defence is much of a muchness and no real improvement. Availability is higher again though in defence even in Alisson missed a high number of games again.
You don't think Salah has improved since last season??
He's having his best season since 2017/18, maybe even better! People were talking about ballon d'Or in a thread here earlier, he's clearly improved
