Horrific penalty that

ShamoBuc

Awful pen. Shocking really. Not the first brutal pen by City v liverpool.

Thanx 4 The Fish

"Ilkay far too high", that was more cringey than the pen ffs.

Close to the top of the kop

Very hard to score one in front of the Kop in fairness...

I'd have went went ilkay goingoingone :pac:

Terrible peno

Triangle

With all the controversy with hand ball in the box at the start of the season.
Does anyone know the situation now after they reviewed it?
It's it back to if the hand is in an unnatural position?

StringerBell

Dour first half of football, hopefully improves a bit in the second half. City really missing De Bruyne and a striker, no focal point for the attacks but obviously wasted a huge opportunity to be ahead anyway with that awful penalty.

More of the usual from Liverpool really, huff and puff and nothing else bar mane chance.

Fingers crossed an goal.early in the second half to liven it up

ShamoBuc

Liverpool ahead on possession, shots, corners etc but 0-0 at ht.
Hopefully a better second half in store.

Firmino's shot?

pjohnson

Thiago will do well to make 90. Two or three lunges were about a half second away from getting him sent.

Mars Bar

Well that'll open up the game a bit

ShamoBuc

He wasn't going to miss from there.

Gundogan puts City ahead

Comic Book Guy

That's awful defending from the world's best right back.

Quality initial save from Alisson, unlucky to concede from it.

505_

Alexander Arnold needs some help against Sterling!

Liverpool need to push for it now should make for a more exciting half.

Ordinary man

Taa doing an impression of a moving statue

StringerBell

Delighted to get an early goal at least, pep reacted to the first half with a tactical changes can klopp now react to going behind?

Always been a fan of his, very underwhelming start to his time in the league though it must be said.

yourdeadwright

First half penalty had an effect on Trent and Fabhino both where afraid to challenge, You have to be brave in football terrible defending

Yeah he used to be far better. Injuries take their toll on him maybe?

MurDawg

Liverpool outclassed here

yourdeadwright

Not sure why people are surprised with Thaigo tackling and fouling, He been playing as the 6 in the ultra attacking Bayern his job off the ball was disrupt play
He had the most tackles and ball recoveries of any DM in Europe last season

He has always had that dark side to his game.

True, but I'll judge him in a fully functioning liverpool team, in particular when our 2 CB's are actually alongside him in midfield.

It's possible I suppose but he has been okay really injury wise for a good while really I am not sure he really suits klopps style of play but could just be taking time to settle in I suppose.

He's been consistently poor at defending this season alright

ShamoBuc

Jones goes close, unlucky with the defection.

Too early to write him off for sure, just an underwhelming start - plenty of players have recovered from that and gone on to have good spells at clubs.

He's been bright

Liam O

2 CBs on the bench and Klopp reverts to Henderson and Fabinho at the back. Asking for trouble really.

bangkok

Poor from dias

ShamoBuc

That's a foul and a pen.


That's how you take a Penalty.

Liamalone

Great shot by the sniper there, down very easy as usual.

1-1

StringerBell

The fall was hilarious there

Slice of luck there, stupid penalty to give away.

VAR review that one?

1-1 game on

505_

Great penalty from Salah! Poor defending from Dias.

StringerBell

Brilliant run by sterling left down by his final ball

yourdeadwright

Why no red

Corholio

It's just about a penalty cos of the slight pull but the fall was something else. Just mildly annoying to see.

Liam O

A touch to the arm is a penalty now...

Mushy

At which point did Dias make an effort for the ball there?

Ordinary man

Comedy dive from salah for a slight tug on the sleeve

Oranage2

Poor refereeing, check var, never a pen.

VAR review all penalties. You mean with all the commenting you do on VAR, you didn’t even know that?
