Better ask Rodgers about the refereeing decisions.

He didn't miss 4 penalties. The red card wasn't clear cut. Have you ever watched a football game without the benefit of instant replay? He did pretty good.

Sakho on Dzeko - stonewall
Zabaleta on Sturridge - cleans the man out long before he touches the ball
Kompany on Suarez - painfully obvious that he just shoved Suarez off the ball
Skrtel - hand of god mark II

Flabbergasted that anyone could consider that to be a good performance

Pains me to say it but well done Liverpool. I had a feeling when Rodgers took over that he'd make amends for the shambles Kenny left Liverpool, on and off the pitch. Fair play to him.

First one I agree.
Middle two I disagree.
Fourth one was too hard to see without instant replay.

Hand ball in the box near the end. Skirtl I think it was leading with his forearm, would've been a penalty if it was seen but there was so many around the ball it may not have been spotted. Liverpool deserve the win for sheer effort alone but title race not over yet.

Lapin · 13-04-2014 02:47PM

I reckon they'd love to be playing Norwich right now.

No you haven't

In a month's time you might see Stephen Gerrard lift the Premiership trophy at Anfield. You'll enjoy that.

Congrats Liverpool on winning the league.

Milner tightened up midfield which helped him get on the ball more in the 2nd half.

Milner played well, silva is a player though who would improve any team he went into.

Love to see him playing for the pool.

Sakho on Dzeko - stonewall

Didn't think that was a penalty. Dzeko saw Sakho slide across him, jumped over him and dragged his boot over him to create contact.

Certainly not stonewall. I didn't think there were any stonewall penalties. Clattenburg gor the red card right for Henderson I though. The only major decision he got wrong imo was not sending off Suarez.

I somehow doubt that!

Someone should write a piece on Liverpool's transformation this season. It's quite incredible that a side who finished 7th last season are likely league winners this season.

Some achievement.

7th come first, and first come 7th.

Liverpool's to lose now

You get those decisions when things are going your way, Suarez should have been off 3 or 4 times and City should have had a peno

Henderson tackle was horrible but he hasn't a track record of it wouldn't be too harsh on him

yeah and in the return fixture lots of keys decisions went against liverpool too, maybe the evening things out cliche is true - if so we should get a few dodgy pens at home against chelsea because we were robbed there

all in all, very satisfying win although the loss of henderson is a concern - we may miss his energy

You could play Norwich with just Suarez and I say it would still end up you lot winning by a 3 goal margin.

Davei141 · 13-04-2014 02:58PM

Bit rich people saying the Skrtle handball was a black mark vs the ref considering none of the city players seen it/appealed for it, and not one of us here seen it till the replayed show it. Hardly expect him to spot it.

Now is not a good time. Fully loaded.

I think BorneToBeWilde should be brought back to write a Limerick on it.

And the Skrtel handball at the end. Clattenberg had as much of a shocker as Vinnie did for us today.

messinkiapina · 13-04-2014 03:01PM

Liverpool were very good for 30 minutes, but City bossed it after that. I was very impressed by the way City came back and probably should have won it, but have to say that Liverpool were also hugely impressive grind out a win after the City onslaught. Liverpool probably deserved the rub of the green today, City got it in December after all.

It's a 3 horse race again, if Chelsea win today. I can't pick a winner now.

Nobody but the cameraman saw that though.......so he really can't be blamed there. There were around 5 heads withing a foot or so of the ball too.

Swansea to beat Chelsea 1 - 0.

John Terry to score for Swansea.

Alfred Borden · 13-04-2014 03:03PM

I know Suarez and Gerrard have been brilliant for ye lads, but Brendan Rodgers has been unbelievable. Best managerial performance of any league season for me.

Hard to blame the ref for that. Nobody saw it until it was replayed in slow motion.

Shouid have gone. No doubt.

And skyrtel literally PUNCHING the ball out.

Very lucky result for Liverpool but they'll tell you they EARNED it.

top of the league and rightfully so

on balance though i'd say the "luckiest" side this season has been man citeh in terms of getting dodgy decisions go their way

in every game, there are some decisions that go for you and against you, the best teams are good enough to overcome the bad decisions and take advantage of the good ones

it's only really the mediocre sides that constantly harp on about decisions going against them - liverpool fans used to do it, but man utd fans have knocked them off that perch in recent times
