Losing out on both Caciedo and Lavia was an impressive bit of self sabotage. Yes- Szobo and Mac are good additions, but it's a job half done. Does Liverpool ownership want to put together a nice squad or compete for Champions league? Arsenal/City/United/Chelsea keep adding - how will Liverpool catch up? M
Szobozlai is an outright steal. Liverpool has always been successful at using their scouting dept to find hidden gems. Overspending on Caicedo/Lavia doesn't fit their model. They also aren't going to just spend 100M on midfielders because they have the money to do so. The player has to fit Klopp's vision of the team.
Any draw out there, Liverpool should be heavy favorites.
I wanted to give him man of the match before he scored.
Aren't they playing MacAllister out of position?
They are. They seem to be mostly playing him in the 6. I don't really understand why, he is struggling there to even connect passes. Szoboslai has been playing in the role that MacAllister wants to play.
This. He's not made for that role, and Endo isn't good enough cover. I'd even rather see Bajetic in that role.
I have never seen a response like that.WhyVAR said:
every team has calls go against them. IMO that was a red card that was missed on the field, regardless of how the VAR was presented to the ref. yes the player was going for the ball, but I thought he was late (bissouma was first to the ball) and the Liverpool player missed the ball and could have broken Bissouma's leg. both of the other yellow cards were both legit yellow cards, both of them were dumb challenges from behind by the Liverpool player. one being more weak than the other.
SMH. There's even some conspiracy theories going about how these refs are going to UAE/Saudi and other regions to get paid super bucks mid week, then come back to England for the weekend.
Indeed.
Yep. I'm pretty confident we are back in the top 4. I think we will end up 2nd or 3rd.
Apparently, Liverpool are asking for the audio from the VAR officials to be released so we can find out what happened. Not holding my breath.
Apparently if they stop for a VAR review, they're unable to go back and legislate once they re-start the game.
I don't want or expect your sympathy. You are seemingly holding some sort of grudge.
You clearly don't watch a lot of Liverpool, especially this season. If you did, you wouldn't think that at all. Your own Alan Shearer called it the worst ref job he has ever seen.
Yeah, was salty yesterday because I was having a bad day. I definitely went overboard on how I said it. That said, it isn't a grudge; that puts it on me. Liverpool is the single most favored team in the league, is all, not just from a Newcastle standpoint. Yes, it was an awful, awful decision. Yet why doesn't the media and footballing world go ballistic and histrionic when Liverpool are on the other side of these calls?
Because none of them have been this egregious. Nearly everyone in the football world is upset, because of how bad they screwed up.
If this had happened to Crystal Palace, we absolutely would not see worldwide outrage like this. C'mon man.
While there is probably some validity to that, I think there would be. Only because of how bad this error was.
