Liverpool + Help - 1 Villa - 1 Post Match Thread

[nigel]

The three significant VAR checks (pen, Mings and their goal) all went in our favour which is such a surprise against them, especially as all three could easily have been interpreted differently. It actually turned over the on-field decision for their goal as well.

There's no way the penalty could have been interpreted any other way. The Ming's one was almost certainly correct. But the goal should have stood. VAR interpreted that Konsa didn't play the ball intentionally. I think most of us would say he did.

Why haven't the PL introduced added time like they did at the World Cup? Because the top 6 wouldn't want it. The likes of Klopp moan about too much football as it is. Having 110 min games wouldn't do them any favours, except in a game when they need it. If they bring it in next season, he'll be looking for 8 subs a game.

I agree that the interpretation of the offside favoured us, but if you watch it back, it also appeared to me that Gakpo clearly handled the ball before putting it into the net.

Anyway, we've had more than our fair share of dodgy decisions against that lot, so fuck 'em.

I unfortunately didn't see the last half hour as I had to go out, but a Liverpool supporting mate of mine claims that we had four players booked for time wasting. Is that true?

Unless I’m missing something I’m sure Diaz was offside from the original ball into the box?

I actually thought there were 3 in offside positions when the ball was first played in, I’ll accept my eyes may have been slow, but, for me, Diaz was certainly offside

If it goes in our favour I don't care if every referee/var decision is wrong. If mighty ynwa'pool can't beat a shitty little side like Villa then it's not our fault.

A reflection on our goal. It was almost a carbon copy of Elmo's cross for Trezeguet in the League Cup semi-final against Leicester.

Somebody on the social media team had the same idea as you and have ran both goals side by side.

Edit. Instagram links don't work too well. Official Villa Instagram page if anybody wants to see it.

Although I really enjoyed the away day, I hate the borish 'sign on' song at Liverpool. How moronic and small time are some of our followers. I even heard some pro Thatcher songs from those not alive when she was PM.

I found the Liverpool slums song really embarrassing as we were queing to go into the ground, mainly lads in their twenties and thirties I thought, but really cringeworthy, makes us look like a bunch of reactionary right wing morons.

As unpalatable as it is, some of our supporters are just that.  Put a load of people together and you get a cross section of society.

Surprised how many joined in with the National Anthem...

Completely missed the game. So what happened to get 11 mins added time?

Liverpool weren't winning.

We should have wrapped that game up in the first half. But, I think being disappointed not to take all three points from Anfield shows how far we have progressed since that fraud Gerrard.

I was embarrassed by our fans while queuing up outside. Singing the national anthem, always the victims, sign on. Right bunch of twats. Then, in the ground, loads of blokes trying to get into rows further down instead of going to their own seats. I asked the bloke trying to stand in my spot where his seat was and thought he was going to lamp me. Not a pleasant experience really.

Just saw the highlights. 
Love Ramsey goal celebration.

There’s a right wing reactionary streak to Brum, unfortunately. Remember it voted leave in 2016 when just about every other big multi-cultural city voted remain

[ChicagoLion]

It’s now a thing to sing the National Anthem to wind up Liverpool, don’t see a problem with it if it works.
