Genuinely could've been 4 nil down before we scored equalized if it wasn't for Alli saving our bacon. He will be disappointed in his brainfart for their equalizer but the missing link for me has always been Fabinho in the middle. When you make Winks look good you know its an issue (even then he was still ***** giving the ball away whenever pressed). Young Morton will learn from this game and the less said about the Ref and Englands golden boy red card challenge the better.

You seem to have a hate ***** for Alisson lol. To answer your question Tierney dropped a 10/10 and but 10/10 I mean an absolute disaster class.

Nah, I dont hate Alisson. Just he's far from the best GK people seem to claim. I'll stop with it, sorry.

Tierney's been terrible ref for years now.

Nah I was kidding mate always good to have a difference of opinions on here.
 
That was cracking entertainment.
Well done both teams (y)
 
Something that hasnt been said that much this season but has become a recurring theme is the long direct balls that Matip has struggled to deal with consistently. He has been poor defensively for a couple of games now and his recovery pace this seasons has deserted him.
 
Today’s admin-

Title Countdown:
12 wins down/ 18 to go.
41 points down/ 54 to go.

Current unbeaten PL run-
P 7 W 6 D 1 F 19 A 4 CS: 4

I could talk about a multitude of things from a proper strange game of football that must have been a really good, compelling watch for a neutral. But ultimately ended up a frustrating draw given the context of the game and how that came about. When it was still a very good point with the content of the whole midfield having to be changed through this blasted virus/ 10-men/ and a stone-wall red card and penalty against the opposition unbelievably overlooked by not only the onfield mess of a ref. But his mate looking at it all on VAR.

But I won't as Mr Paul Tierney Esq and, worse, Mr Chris Cavannagh Esq in the box, did their level best to totally ruin it. I don't like referencing the officials as a reason for not winning. But nobody needs to look ANY further than those two. Had we had any semblance of competent officiating, and not the absolute shitshow on the pitch, compounded by his mate covering his back in the booth, and we're talking about another excellent L'pool win in extremely difficult circumstances and a 9th straight in all comps.

But they both decided to put forth the worst officiated game I can remember for a LONG time, with their ineptitude completely costing a L'pool side, that was far from its best, a certain 3 points.

Hard to nark about anyone in Red (which, outside of a handful of them, not least a stupendous 'keeping display from Alisson, you legitimately could), when the game is completely different if the officials had done the job they are paid very well to do.

So, to start Christmas week on a positive note, even if it doesn't feel like it with City gaining 2, a really good point in context (missing a whole spine and facing a rested and healthy Tottenham who'd patently been drilled hard in training through their enforced break the past few weeks. Along with complete ineptitude from the officials), that should/ would have been 3 were it not for Tierney and co. I've just tested negative which I honestly wasn't expecting after yesterday in the Omricon capital of the Country. And we should get a refund on a train F up.

That's what I'm taking and moving on to Leicester. If we even get that far after today's PL meeting.

Uo the robed blind Reds!

Without wishing to sound dramatic, when two teams are so much better than the rest and as equally matched as ourselves and City are, with next to nothing separating them, (over the last 4 seasons, City have amassed 309 points to our 306); the complete ineptitude of the officials yesterday could literally decide the title.

From our club statistician Ged Rea- In 20 domestic games this season have been issued with 27 yellow cards and one red. 11 of those yellows and the red have been issued in 3 games by Paul Tierney.

Hard to think there's not an agenda there from Tierney. (And I have zero issues with the AndyRobbo red yesterday. That was a ridiculous and reckless challenge. But what's the difference in Kanes, which was even more reckless and violent, that causes VAR to have the ref go to the monitor to correct another massive mistake he made in just giving the yellow?). But he gets to officiate again over Christmas in the PL with absolutely NO accountability for his disgrace yesterday. And don't get me started on Cavanagh on VAR .....
 
After the complete injustice of yesterday, the best thing either club does each and every year to brighten up your Monday-

As a neutral, I do wonder what the purpose of VAR was. Pogba's tackle on keita was less malicious compared to Kane's and he got a red. Interesting dynamics that.

But besides the officiating carnage, I would be a tad worried that spurs were the better side for much of that game (albeit you had a depleted midfield but still this is a woeful spurs side). If spurs had a more ruthless front 3, they could've easily been 4-0 up at halftime (no exaggeration). Harry winks looked like a Xavi-regen at times too for some reason.

I don't think it's remiss to think they are corrupt when they have all the pictures available yet turn down the stonewall penalty on Jota and don't ask the incompetent Tierney to look at the monitor on Kanes recklessness. Yet they do on AndyRobbo's. No question the latter was a red. But it was childsplay in comparison to Kane's violent assault. I don't know what else you are supposed to conclude than they are on the take when it's as blatant an egregious set of errors in one teams favour. 🤷‍♂️

He goes, half an hour in, along with the penalty, and that's doubtless a completely different result.

Rarely ever put a result down to the officials but that's where yesterday starts and ends.

L'pool were robbed blind.

Yeah I don't want to talk too much about stuff Liverpool fans don't like to hear in this thread. I simply made a little joke, I'm sure Dilakh does not mind.
