StevO Posted October 17, 2020 Report Share Posted October 17, 2020 The first 15 minutes of the second half we should have scored twice, but didn’t convert. They were no more impressive than us today. Both teams weren’t good enough at the back and a threat going forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aidan Posted October 17, 2020 Report Share Posted October 17, 2020 A point is a good result against the champions. We are guaranteed to stay top after this game week which is great for the confidence of the team. DCL makes it 7 in 5 games and has scored in 5 games in a row for us. James has 3 goals and 3 assists in those 5 league games. We're looking dangerous and are still 100% contenders for champions league football. As long as Liverpool, Chelsea or City don't completely run away with it we will be in contention for the league title. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wiggytop Posted October 17, 2020 Report Share Posted October 17, 2020 Pickford tackle on VVD was awful and he should have been given a red, I wonder if he was trying for a bit of retribution after VVD should have had two yellows, one for tackle on James and the other on DCL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still a red. But VVD did deserve a yellow, didn’t he? Wasn’t it in first minute or 2 that he deliberately hammered James or somebody.

Elston Gunnn Posted October 17, 2020 Report Share Posted October 17, 2020 We now have some real talent, so that one of our best players 2 seasons ago, Gomes, now looks mediocre at times. James and Allan are special, and DCL might become a great striker. But Liverpool still looked the better team most of today’s match. Better pace, pressing, passing, creativity. Two outstanding talents in Mané and Salah. Don’t know what happened to them v. Villa. Glad it did. Also glad we lucked out today, but it took very unusual luck to take a point today.

barryj Posted October 17, 2020 Report Share Posted October 17, 2020 1 hour ago, Elston Gunnn said: Didn’t look offside from multiple stop-action replays, so VAR decision seemed crazy wrong, seemed a legit goal. But American TV commentators (neither of whom is American) said VAR uses other cameras that we don’t see. That’s the only way I can understand why that goal didn’t stand. Glad it didn’t, but I’ll hope we get to see what VAR saw, just to understand. Also, VAR was involved in the Pickford-VVD clatter, and I don’t understand that one either. We lucked out twice with VAR today. I genuinely felt the opposite. Live time I said to my son that looked off. Granted I didn’t expect it to be so close. However the rule is the rule. We’ve lost out in the last year and nobody was shouting a screaming for us (Man U) in particular so I couldn’t care less. If they were a good enough side they’d already be beating us by then. I’ll let them cry into their chips tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know, I agree with you that live action I, too, thought he was offside, and definitely hoped so. But then the repeated stop-action photos didn’t look offside to me. So then I heard commentators talking about VAR looking at different camera shots than we see, so that confused me. And now I hear talk that a “sleeve” was offside, so I don’t know what that means, or more likely I don’t know the intricacies of the rule. Sleeve??

Everything going right for Villa, just a case of everything going shockingly wrong at once for the Reds. I will need to pay some attention to Villa.

Mark, I've watched Gerrard go in two-footed on Naismith and not get anything. I've watched Kuty karate kick Neville and us get nothing. I've watched Gerrard persuade Twattenburg to give Hibbert a red even though he'd decided it was a yellow. I've watched Twattenburg not give a blatant penalty when Carragher dragged Lescott to the floor at the end of a game. I've watched a referee blow the whistle as the ball was trickling into the net to deny us a win against that shower. Fuck them all. I'm going to enjoy this. It's just a shame the shit decisions today didn't give us a win. Aidan, StevO, markjazzbassist and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ACL's are normally 8-9 months to be honest, it could be the start of next season at best when they see him again, plus he will more than likely miss the European Championships. They're title challenge doesn't rest on him solely, but he's a massive part of the machine gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete0 Posted October 17, 2020 Report Share Posted October 17, 2020 Don't get why so many think Pickford deserved a red when even their manager said the Pickford one would usually be yellow. Joke that all the talk is about us getting a decision, at best Pickford didn't get a yellow. Looking at our red Richarlison didn't hit him with the stoods so arguably should've been a yellow. Only clear red was Robertson for being shit bag, then there's maybe Mane for the same thing but they didn't focus on him in the replays. Should be a lot more noise about Mane for the diving too. markjazzbassist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
