How can Klopp accept this level of shitty defending weekly has made me question is sanity.

It is also an easy fix but somehow it happen everyweek. If I am an opposing side I would say attack on Trent side all the time.
This is not an easy fix

That’s a hand ball but no way Atkinson and Manc Tierney give it

Kantes hands were in an unnatural position even though it’s tight

I think that's a natural position for how he was moving and his elbow was pretty tucked in.

What is the handball rule now?

Somehow this is not a handball but Firmino getting tugged by a defender and touching his arm is considered handball.

Logic for not giving that is that it was point blank, obviously, but I dunno that was a pretty unnatural position
Try shuffling sideways really quickly with your arms at the side and see how natural that position is, you don't have any balance. That was a natural movement with his arms, they weren't stuck out to take up space.

If Sissoko in the CL final is handball that definitely is one.

Personally I don't mind that not being one, but you can certainly question why Kante holds his arm like that.

Kante is doing jazz hands FFS. It’s not a natural position.

This is just fairness bias; that the correct conclusion must be that the referee awards equal calls to all teams regardless of circumstances.
Oh we can leave the Chelsea part out of that. I know Atkinson hasn’t been great for you either.

wanted to highlight the 1 in 25 though.
