I wouldnt be so sure. Not like their are many options for either party atm.vivell is gone and nagelsmann wanted the job given to him straight away with no interviews so that door is shut
they’ll probably let poch have the next few but oh man the pressure is up. injuries can’t be an excuse even if the injured xi may be better than the one that played today.
I mean given the context a point isnt bad.Really hard to complain about how LFC have started the season, but that draw week one keeps looking worse and worse
that’s why hindsight is 20/20.I mean given the context a point isnt bad.
He got a yellow for dissent if you didn't realize that. They are much stricter on that.Yeah, sorry. Giving a yellow card for that is a joke. That it was a second yellow is all the more laughable.
Well yea probably, but you can say the same for Chelsea with the chances they missed. The problem is that the game was that close to begin with, and really a draw was fair.If Bournemouth had like 10% more quality they would have taken all three points.
I did realize it. Not to go all Savant, but as long as saying anything to the ref is a yellow card, that's chill. It isn't and it wasn't in the game. Now, I don't know what he said exactly, but he didn't have enough time to say anything that bad.He got a yellow for dissent if you didn't realize that. They are much stricter on that.
The argument is that it wasn't an intentional play on the ball by the Everton player. I think it's a pretty terrible call though.I don't know the wording of the rule, but I don't see how that was offside for Martinelli's goal. Gabriel was making a backwards pass, the Everton player deflected it forward, so now Nketiah is offside?
The Newcastle players (in particular) were also very spicy yesterdayI did realize it. Not to go all Savant, but as long as saying anything to the ref is a yellow card, that's chill. It isn't and it wasn't in the game. Now, I don't know what he said exactly, but he didn't have enough time to say anything that bad.
This reffing team has had a shocking day today. Misunderstanding the offside rule and then not giving a clear yellow card challenge as a foul at all. I mean there was a VAR check as to whether it should be red (it shouldn't) and the ref didn't even give it as a foul.
Awful.
Yeah, but Chelsea has a billion pound squad. I don’t think “quality” in and of itself was the issue. Fully granted on another day maybe they score three.Well yea probably, but you can say the same for Chelsea with the chances they missed.

The goal. The Everton player pretty clearly made a deliberate play on the ball which is what caused it to go to NketiahWhen was the offside misunderstanding?
That's not remotely how "deliberate play" is every called for offside and very clearly was a block/deflection.The goal. The Everton player pretty clearly made a deliberate play on the ball which is what caused it to go to Nketiah
In what world is kicking your foot out to hit the ball not deliberate? The rules specifically say that it doesn't have to go where you want it to go to be deliberateThat's not remotely how "deliberate play" is every called for offside and very clearly was a block/deflection.

The following criteria should be used, as appropriate, as indicators that a player was in control of the ball and, as a result, ‘deliberately played’ the ball:
- The ball travelled from distance and the player had a clear view of it
- The ball was not moving quickly
- The direction of the ball was not unexpected
- The player had time to coordinate their body movement, i.e. it was not a case of instinctive stretching or jumping, or a movement that achieved limited contact/control
- A ball moving on the ground is easier to play than a ball in the air
Sorry, I should have looked up the ref's entire personal life like you lot.This is testing the limits of 'will really argue about anything no matter how stupid it is' because that call is obvious to 99% of the world.
Fair enough. I read the part where it said the intent doesn't matter or whatever and went from thereSpecifically points 1, 2, and 4 are relevant here.
