he's a weakling for his size... I wouldnt take him into battle.. not a fan of the way he jumps in the air knowing he's not going to get near the ball.... why doesnt he just jump correctly and head the ball...

we need someone to put pressure on their back 4 but he's not the man to do it today

Just won a header there, didn't know where his teammates were and headed it straight out of play.

Jayop

Should have scored that.

Osmosis Jones

Great chance, capitalising on mistakes. Should've hit the target.

5starpool

Should have scored there probably.

mada999

dang that was close...

i think coutinho is afraid to pass the ball to him too.. trust issues ?

Osmosis Jones

The one time a Liverpool player is physical and he gets called. Dawson holding just as much as Can there.

mada999

Can just stronger there.... brunt is allowed use his arms and hands but can isnt ?

i thinks happens us a lot against these teams..they ref's expect us to take it because they are known as physical teams but as soon as we do the same we get free's against us.... they seem to get away with more because they are the physical teams

SM01

Can simply stronger there!

Osmosis Jones

Good tackle from Lucas.

Harry Palmr

No one should pass to Milner from the CB/DM positions unless he is well beyond the halfway line.

5starpool

How did Chadli miss that! Touched away from him?

Jayop

Glorious chance for Chadli

5starpool

Oh that was a half chance there for Coutinho.

Osmosis Jones

Was he hit in the back of the head afterwards?

Probably incidentally. Nothing foul play wise I'd say.

Looked like Firmino got the faintest of touches on the cross. If he didn't, Chadli scores.

5starpool

Fletcher thinks it should be legal to not care where te ball is and just push against the keeper.

Osmosis Jones

All the praise we've given Mignolet for manning up for corners lately, he'll need it all today.

mada999

why cant he hoist it in ?

Osmosis Jones

Commentators don't know the rules. Passed off the thigh.

5starpool

How was that not a backpass? Bizarre stuff there.

mada999

origi not arsed there either close down or not

Is it only below the knee?

Only the foot constitutes a backpass, not a knee or thigh.

Harry Palmr

That was a back pass?

Thigh okay then?

I didn't know the specifics of it obviously. I thought it was the leg, or some vague thing like that. Good to know anyhow for future.

Brand new information for me too. Thought it was above the waist.

Every day's a school day.

mada999

It was and a legal one too.

Yeah one of the more trivial rules it seems.

Jayop

Good knowledge there Mr Jones.

"The offense rests on three events occurring in the following sequence:

The ball is kicked (played with the foot, not the knee, thigh, or shin) by a teammate of the goalkeeper,"

Osmosis Jones

I'm just thankful Lovren knew the rule and didn't do something stupid

5starpool

Shot on target alert!

Osmosis Jones

We might need a special one from Coutinho to win it today, there'll be very few clear cut chances.

machiavellianme

You'd miss Mane and his doggedness with occasional trickery on days like today.

you could nearly see the cogs of his brain working through the rules before he touched the ball

Harry Palmr

Origi wasting possession. The game has panned out exactly as expected it's fair to say.

charolais0153

Good game so far and fairly free flowing

shamrock55

Coutinho is such a one trick pony in fairness,cut in from the left shoot,cut in from the left shoot,etc etc.

5starpool

Why didn't Can try to head that rather than stick a boot 6 foot in the air?

Osmosis Jones

Fullbacks must love coming up against Milner on the left, his first touch is always back towards his own goal.

What game are you watching? It's pretty dogcrap poor from both teams so far really.

I think he's useless Harry.. he's nearly never in the box when you need him to be.. half arsé challenges etc.. if he's not holding the ball up / winning headers then ya may as well have Sturridge on the pitch imo

unfortunately, he's got nothing in front of him to pass it to...

Yes, but what a trick it is, when executed correctly!

Osmosis Jones

No pressure and the balls put out of play again.

Origi dropping deep for the ball even though he seems to want nothing to do with it.
