GWT: Premier League Round 16

[YNWA14]

Every pundit says it was generous but okay

Anyway knew something like that was coming after the missed chances.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Lol that was not a 2 handed push. That same player had been muscling our defence around all game. It was a full on dive.

Where's the penalty on Williams for the push on Solanke?

It's a conspiracy to have Liverpool out of the top 4.

In the real world it was clearly a 2 handed push. Lovern was all over the man

 

[YNWA14]

All over him. Okay. You should stick to your misconceptions of Dybala's grandeur.

 

[Savant]

Terrible game from Klopp. Really horrible substitutions.

PK call aside, Mane’s selfishness cost them the points here.

Henderson was horrible today too.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Good penalty call. Nice weekend for Spurs.

 

[Prntscrn]

Mane and Lovren cost us 3 easy points today

 

[Evilo]

Lovren fighting the good fight.
Mad at the ref instead of mad at himself. Won't ever progress given his peewee mind.

 

[YNWA14]

Embarrassing game all around. How teams play like that I'll never understand. How refs let them off. How Liverpool don't bury more of their chances and Mane's selfishness.

 

[Savant]

Lovren fighting the good fight.
Mad at the ref instead of mad at himself. Won't ever progress given his peewee mind.

We know he is bad but we know we are stuck with him.

 

[hersky77]

What an absolute joke of a penalty, and what an absolute joke of the style of football that Everton presented put out today.

 

[YNWA14]

Lovren fighting the good fight.
Mad at the ref instead of mad at himself. Won't ever progress given his peewee mind.

He should be mad at the ref. Every pundit. They're talking about it even now. It was a clear dive, Lovren never extended his arm he just put his hand on his back.

Reward the teams that park 10 men in the box and then give them a dive for a pen. What a joke.

 

[Savant]

Mane lost them the game but you don’t take off your best player in a derby unless they are hurt and they didn’t need both Robertson and Milner on at the end. Also bring on Ings to play with a Solanke not make another like for like sub. You need more forwards not less.

Mane and Klopp terrible.

Lovren stupid.

 

[Savant]

He should be mad at the ref. Every pundit. They're talking about it even now. It was a clear dive, Lovren never extended his arm he just put his hand on his back.

Dive or embellishment?

 

[YNWA14]

Dive or embellishment?

That was a dive. He wasn't fouled or going down already.

Seeing stuff like that is gross when you have much worse fouls not given constantly in games (not just Liverpool, in general). But team parking the bus with 20% possession makes one run with a player that's been physically battling the defence all game and holding his own and he goes down as soon as he feels Lovren there.

Pure dive. Pure garbage. We should have finished our other chances and I knew something like that was coming though.

 

[Savant]

That was a dive. He wasn't fouled or going down already.

Yeah it looked like a dive to me. Lovren shouldn’t have put two hands on him but that’s a really tough penalty to give.

 

[YNWA14]

If that's a penalty every set piece or tangle in the box is a penalty with the way they allow defenders to mug forwards for teams that actually spend time attacking.

 

[Pouchkine]

That's Liverpool for you...

 

[TheMoreYouKnow]

I wouldn't give that penalty, but it was a clumsy and stupid move by Lovren I believe and you have to calculate the risk of conceding a pen every time you make physical contact with an attacker in the box. Ultimately, Liverpool are a flawed team as long as they carry around that midtable level defence, and it won't be enough for more than 4th-7th range.

 

[Gecklund]

Won’t be able to watch the Manchester Derby (stupid work meetings) but I can only see one of two results, a VERY low scoring 0-0, 1-0, 1-1 or a VERY high scoring 5-0 for City. And I’m a United fan. Without Pogba this team has been trash. Also seeing Herrera in the lineup I fully expect De Bruyne to be a non factor in this game like Hazard was when Herrera stuck to him all game

Depends on how in form Herrera is. The first time they tried that strategy against Chelsea, Herrera ended up with two yellows before half becuase he was half a step behind.

The next time he executed it to perfected and Hazard basically wasn’t playing.

 

[maclean]

Unfortunately not able to watch either due to work but I've got it on in the next room and it sounds fairly exciting so far..

It’s pretty good so far. City have been better, but united haven’t been in park the bus mode so there’s been chances.

I agree but Herrera has been pretty good recently. Maybe not in the form of his life like the second game but better than the first one. So I could see both scenarios and everything in between. Right now it looks like they aren’t playing that way. Which makes sense because City has so many players that can make plays and create magic

Jesus dives.
