GWT: PL Matchweek 4

[Prntscrn]

Harvey is mature beyond his years, season is probably over but hopefully he'll comeback 100%. 18 years old and played winger until this preseason and has now 3 consecutive starts in PL at central midfield, very impressive

 

[hatterson]

Live it looked like he went to the side of him and won the ball but Elliot’s ankle just got caught under him.

I don’t wanna watch the reply to confirm or reject that though.

 

[Savant]

Don’t care if it should have been red or not. Just wishing Harvey comes back strong next season.

 

[Jersey Fresh]

Awful tackle. Crazy. Still don't know what Klopp is doing on the pitch lobbying the referee, though.*

*Note: only seen a clip of the incident. Not sure if he was mainly just checking on Elliott.

It seemed was yelling at the ref about the challenge and got told multiple times to go back

Ankle breaking tackle, literally. Easy red.

 

[Chimaera]

He was checking on the player. But I’m sure he was also complaining about the fact that he has let physical fouls just go, and here’s the result

He was also checking on the player, but he spent a solid minute yelling at the ref not looking at the player and the ref basically escorted him back to the sideline. It's not unexpected in that situation, and everyone handled it normally (aka, ref just walking him back and not doing anything about it) but it's silly to pretend it didn't happen.

 

[Jersey Fresh]

A physical game doesn't just breed that tackle. It was dumb and dangerous, not "physical" such as it is.

Like when a physical hockey game gets an idiotic boarding that's just vicious. The onus is always on the player.

 

[King Makar19]

Not even a foul.

Unfortunate for him.


Klopp looked like a clown

 

[Live in the Now]

He was pissed because these changes to make the game more physical have made these injuries far more likely. It's understandable.

 

[Chimaera]

Yes and no. If you issue warnings and bookings, there is some impact. If you just let it go, the contact and physicality can escalate.

That doesn’t mean it will or won’t result in a leg breaker. But the ref does have some control in the situation if he just lets things go

 

[Blender]

100% a foul and a red. Studs up over the top of the ball, scissor tackled his leg. Obvious result followed from this with a horrific injury.

Yea I don’t really blame him.

I missed the bottom leg live and thought it was just the top leg.

Yea seeing this makes it pretty clear.

 

[Live in the Now]

It was a horrendous challenge. The likelihood of hurting someone while tackling with both feet from behind like that is very high.

 

[Savant]

I will say, Struijk did genuinely look remorseful. Don’t think he was trying to break Harvey. Just unfortunate. This wasn’t a case of Funes Mori on Origi and they kissing the Everton badge on the way down the tunnel after taking him out.

I cannot focus on the rest of the game

 

[Chimaera]

It’s also completely unnecessary. Elliott isn’t running away from anyone

 

[Chimaera]

Note, while Liverpool are being wasteful, I’m happy they’re generating a ton of chances. They’re going to go in at some point

 

[koyvoo]

Awesome effort from Bamford. Thiago already in the room.

 

[PanniniClaus]

I can understand Klopp's outrage... i'd be highly emotional if i saw my player done for the season on a careless tackle.. if it was hockey Struijk would be getting an immediate punch in the mouth..and deservedly so.

 

[Chimaera]

Elliott already posting road to recovery on Instagram.

I’m sure the injury is bad, but hopefully he can come through it

 

[Burner Account]

Mane is having a stinker

 

[Live in the Now]

Hopefully he only broke his ankle. 3 months or so if that's the case.

 

[Chimaera]

Censors better get ready for Klopp’s post match comments. Fine in bound likely
