Irritating to have dropped more points, as it would be epic to be at the Dippers heels after the shit season we've had so far.

Absolutely furious with that. Outplayed City for much of the game and yet end up getting hammered on paper. Closest 4-1 I've ever seen to be honest. So unlucky because if Alisson doesn't make those mistakes, I reckon it was heading our way. Klopp takes a lot of blame here though, he didn't buy in defence in the summer: massive mistake and that's a Big Fact. Then tonight he takes off Thiago, who was running the entire game with his touch of class. Starting to think Klopp has lost his confidence.

Also Sterling dived for City's peno, justice was served with the miss.

I watched the entire game...that "analysis" is deluded, City were the better team start to finish. In fact if VAR looked more closely, or at all, I don't think Stones goal was offside....so 1 - 5. I remember a couple of years ago when Martinez missed a penalty against them, the immediate online response..."JUSTICE", despite it of course, being an absolute stone cold penalty. What a crowd they are huh? One eyed as well, to go with all their other endearing traits. .

Has Allison taken a bung?? :shock:

Some very suspect passing that lead to two City goals. Very quickly too.
Well he is a scouser isn't he! :D

It's been a topic raised on 5live, namely Pat Nevin, it's shocking the screaming by players feigning injury getting the decision when minimal contact. Something needs to be done about this level of cheating.
Had Xhaka gone down screaming like a little child maybe Fernandez would rightfully received a red card.
Alternatively, Xhaka is so shit he can't even go down screaming like a little child, feigning injury properly!!

Nothing is ever talked about when it comes to this sort of shit. It is ruining the game and the players should be embarrassed. It is cheating and similar to the ‘entitled to go down’ penalty, and shielding the ball and then just going over after ‘’feeling the contact’ a la the Swiss Turd. You become used to it and it all happens in every game, but nothing is ever done. And none of the pundits are ever brave enough to call it for fear of upsetting their mates.

Spot on.The pundits also don't want to be called out for the times they have been caught cheating.The very poor standard of officiating ,the inconsistency of var decisions and the amount of cheating going on is ruining the game.

You are absolutely right. Football is full of money but for some reason, the standard of refereeing has got worse and worse over the years. The technology which could help the game and should have been in place for years is now so inconsistent and poorly used that football supporters have just grown bored and tired of it all. We have become so accustomed to shit decision making or cowardly decision making or favouritism or just downright cheating by refs that actually we expect it these days. Then you add in the players openly cheating and getting away with it week in week out for 30 odd years and we've all had enough. Nobody seems to want to do anything or say anything and so it goes on and on and fucking on. The standard of analysis is now at an all-time low with every single 'pundit' motivated by their own agendas and biases and again, not a single fucking person calls them out on it or their hypocrisy-unless it's on some social media shit where the multi-millionaire ex-player suddenly has a tantrum when someone has a go at them. It's been coming for years and football supporters of whatever club have been saying it for fucking god knows how long, but the game is rotten to the very foundations, with players who are mostly absolute cünts , refs who are cowardly and corrupt yet completely unaccountable for their actions and supporters who have just had enough.

Completely agree John.

Then you have that pointless input from Peter Walton on BT. ''Let's go to our refereeing expert Peter Walton'' says Jake whatever his name is! No, lets not go to Peter fucking Walton because we know exactly what he's gonna say ... he's gonna back the official'd decision - no matter how dreadful it was!

This :censored: initially agreed with the yellow Auba got at Palace a couple of seasons back ... then agreed with the red when VAR stuck their fucking beak in!

VAR and the likes of Peter Walton are absolutely fucking pointless. Although we deserved nothing from the game, that was a blatant penalty at Villa. Likewise the game at Elland Rd where a goal-bound shot was blocked by a Leeds defenders hand.

And yet that bearded cheating lettuce eating :censored: Mo Salad STILL only has a reputation for ''winning'' pentalties! :banghead:

The levels of bias and cowardice in the game and in the media are as bad as they've ever been.

Far be it from me to defend an ex lpool player BUT Souness called put salah for diving and said he does it on a regular basis so if thats not calling it out then I don't know what lol.

Although I agree that all these ex refs are an absolute waste of time and tbf probably earning a good wedge, in fact what with women ex players that I've never heard of, shite ex player, PC agenda driven appointments with some punters not capable of a part sentence without stuttering or mentioning an old cliche, then it's all a farce.

And who pays for all these no marks, yup, waste of money.
