I said numerous times its not a penalty but he clearly made contact. Why should Lamela get banned for getting hit and the ref making the wrong call.
Take into consideration Lamela's injury history.
It’s never a penalty. Not in a million years. They got tied up. S#!t happens. It happens in every game.Getting kicked in the back of the leg like that cannot be compared to run of the mill incidental contact.
Lamela would fit in quite nicely at Barcelona.
This is the problem with the idiotic idea of "not interfering". If you are a defender with a player behind you, you are being told to play to the whistle and also being told to trust the linesman will get it right.Lovren is only going for the ball becuase Kane is there. Kane’s presence makes Lovren act on the ball so t should have been blown.
No English media will point it out because there was no dive.
Yeah, that's a penalty. First one wasn't but we didn't score there anyway.
Once again contact does not mean foul. There has to be impediment, recklessness or excessive force. Both penalties were pure dives.
Not sure if the NBCSN crew counts as English media or not. They’re all English and cover PL football exclusively, but employed by a US company.
They mentioned it a couple times on the post game show.

It’s not a penalty because VVVD made contact. He has the right to go for the ball. He can’t see behind him and he has a right to go for the ball. Lamela jumps in front and that’s where the contact comes from. By the letter of the law, he has to be able to go for the ball. Lamela like usual sells the heck out of it. The ref had a fair look at it and let the assistant over rule him. I really hope after today and the Mane red this ref is permanently banned from Liverpool matches. It would be worth a Klopp fine or suspension to get it there.
I can see some argument for that one (though it’s still a bit dodgy in my mind) but the first one is offsides at minimum and a probable dive after that.
Le Soux hates Liverpool because of Robbie Fowler. He will never give them a favorable opinion.I find Mustoe and Martino are absolute idiots. Lee Dixon is beyond belief with his stupidity as well.
I like le Soux and Earle.
So i guess it depends on who is saying what.
Lamela was no where near being able to make a play on the ball and he was grazed at best. Weak ref makes a horrible call. Moss is the only ref that lets linemen run the game. It’s not a penalty.Saw this 10 times... Yeah, he hits him on the calf and it is a penalty.
The part that bothers me the most is that it was a horrendous performance where both teams showed no quality in attack at all except for one player being brilliant at the end.
That guy is the biggest Argentina homer on the board and he loves lamela. Good luck with this one.Lamela was no where near being able to make a play on the ball and he was grazed at best. Weak ref makes a horrible call.

Game should have been 2-1.That guy is the biggest Argentina homer on the board and he loves lamela. Good luck with this one.
Anyway. Terrible officiating. Kicked him full in the back of the leg...lol. Spurs deserved a point but shouldn't have got it.
To be fair, beyond a rocket and two dodgy penalties, Spurs really don’t get a ton of chances. They carried the play but a lot of it was outside or sent behind for a corner. Liverpool were hanging on, but Spurs is a good attacking team that has given it to a lot of sides.Like I said, horrible advertisement for both teams. Of course you're in the same league as United so you don't have to worry about being the worst for a big side.
What I would think would bother you most is Klopp. Parks the bus and pretty much gives away the match and now his focus will be on the refs.
