Ox will go out on loan to City in January and he'll be like: "Yeah we're in good form in big games, we hammered Liverpool back in September"

Your missing the fact that Ederson ducked to head the ball whats Mane supposed to do. Stop his momentum from following through. I just dont see how you can give a straight red without thinking logically about the situation.

For me this is a decision where common sense should have be used.

By the letter of the law Sane could have also been sent off, lunging tackle from behind, studs up with two feet of the floor. However, he didnt make much contact, and it was at a slow pace. Logic prevailed on that one...
 
Defence isnt the "in" thing in football right now anyway.

Cities defence just as bad as us until the red card.
 
going down to 10 men shouldnt mean we should concede 5 goals. we should have shut up shop and tried to counter. its like they gave up which is the sad part. klavan showed why he is only the 3/4 CB but trent struggled in aswell maybe gomez would have been better seems he shut out sanchez against arsenal in another big game but if were going to lose a game then it might aswell be city away from home
 
Honestly I'm starting to get tired of the red card rule. It keeps ruining perfectly promising games and it fails as an effective punishment, because refs are always hesitating since they don't want to ruin the spectacle either. It's an awfully flawed system.

I think they should just massively increase match bans (**** it, 10 matches for straight red and 5 for two yellows), but otherwise just allow replacing sent off player to keep it 11 vs 11.

Why would you play Klaven against City's pace? Guess we'll be dropping off and hitting over the top the break again then?

Was suicidal to play him in a high line. He cannot deal with pace at all, I'm not even talking blistering pace even a simple turn can take him out of position. I know he is backup but he honestly even isn't premier league standard. His partner in crime Matip is just as bad, gets bullied easily and is a ball playing defender who can't defend, people lay into Lovren but Matip is worse defensively. The central defense, in general, is weak. Right now until we can get a central defender who can play a high line, the attack is our best form of defense.
 
Well that was 'fun.' Could well have been 2 or 3 up early but for woeful finishing. (Mo lad. Seriously. WTF was that?). Sadio walks (thankfully the League Cup saves him missing Utd. Hope the goalies ok) and you're down to 10 men against the single worst side the PL outside of ourselves to have to face in that situation. But even saying that, outside of the 5th all self-inflicted goals by **** poor defending (Trents worst professional game by far but the experience will do him great to learn from) and goalkeeping. But at least some of the City gobshites got lashed out when the bizzies finally had enough. And ****** wet through before and after whilst the sun shines through the game.

**** happens. Hardest away out the way early. City's past and just a game back. Onto Seville.

Up the 'Glad to get one of them out the way early' Reds.

We can debate the decision. But as most have said, to defend like that with 10 men is diabolical. Let alone against a side like City. Any of the top 6 would have punished Liverpool here.

Klopp threw the white towel in. Shifted Can into the back with the terrible duo of matip and Klavan. With no protection in midfield, 5 nil was expected.
 
Lose 5. End up 1 game outside of first. Had worse days like.

Now to get a good start Europe.

Lvpl has the option to appeal 3-match ban for Mane, citing "excessive punishment," in hope it is downgraded to 1 or 2. Decision by 5pm​

3:39 am - 11 Sep 2017


I very much doubt we do, but I seriously hope we appeal that even if it leads to a longer ban and Sadio missing Utd.

Complete joke of a decision that completely turned a very even, competitive game (I say that but L'pool we're actually on top in most every statistical category at that point bar the scoreline), made even more so by what happened yesterday at Swansea.
