[al secord]

And so begins the Sergio Reguilon era.

Toney stops the bleeding for his little club. Let the bidding war commence!

Dude came back rested

Dude came back rested

Something tells me Kai Havertz wouldn't have dominated this game like Toney did.

They play different positions.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

They play different positions.

Take a breather

I've never seen a sport that unprotects their goalkeepers as this one. The one last week and that second Gabriel goal was just an absurd amount of interference by White lol. I understand that doing that is part of the rules, so I know it is legit. It's funny that you're not allowed to score if the team doesn't have two players back (some weird thing like that), but you are allowed to score "that" way as Gabriel did. Gabriel is an amazing goalscoring CB though, really outstanding quality by him.

I don't blame Roy at all, he's a good bloke who is probably 20 years past the time you'd want him to manage your team. I blame the CP suits who actually thought he was a good hire.

I love me some Toney, he ain't 80 million pounds worthy, but he has dragon energy.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Sheffield bailed out by the flag, insane that they didn't score that

 

[al secord]

Looks red to me

What an unnecessary, daft challenge

 

[Jack Straw]

Wow

 

[al secord]

Areolalol

 

[erikhamren]

Imagine if Fabianski saves

 

[Blender]

Absolutely wild finish here...

WOW

 

[spintheblackcircle]

Wildness.

 

[Jack Straw]

That would have been easy pass interference in the NFL

 

[Jersey Fresh]

The absolute state of Premier League refereeing.

 

[al secord]

David Moise looking extra angry/constipated

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

The absolute state of Premier League refereeing.

It was a stonewall penalty

 

[Jersey Fresh]

It was a stonewall penalty

Bowen’s? Yeah, agreed.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Bowen’s? Yeah, agreed.

I was watching AFCON, you post "the state of PL refereeing" right after your team concedes a penalty and I (reasonably) assume you're referring to that call. I watched the replay of the pen on Areola, and it's obvious.

 

[hatterson]

Wow. Didn’t get to watch the game, but two reds and a pen in stoppage time. Will be fun to watch the replays.

 

[Savant]

LFC going about as strong as they can. Might see some rotation on Wednesday.

Apparently Trent, Robertson and Szoboszlai are close; but we’re not ready for today

 

[hatterson]

That looks awfully orange to me at least.

 

[Prntscrn]

Again, I go back to that Tottenham game and compare it to this. The lack of consistency pisses me off

 

[hatterson]

My guess is that the reason VAR cleared it so quick is because the Bournemouth player was sort of battling with the other Liverpool player going into the challenge so wasn’t fully in control/wasn’t intending to do that.

But my response to that is you still need to be in control of your body. He handed with studs on the high ankle/shin with considerable weight. The fact that the referee didn’t call anything at all furthers the case that he didn’t see it properly.

Its those type of situations where I’d like VAR to be able to say “we’re not specifically recommending a red, but obviously you missed something so go take a look and see what you think”
