I don't think it was enough to warrant a pen and not enough to make somebody go down like that personally.If even Souness calls it a pen; you can be sure it wasn't too soft to give.
Heard an interview with Huerehlo Gomes on the BBC World Service just before the game and he said he had talked to Richarlison and he is coming along well and expects to play in the World Cup.Kane just doesn’t press at all but has other qualities clearly
Any news on Richarlison because he can and does press?
it was a pen. Even the biased liverpool lot at sky conceded they got away with one.
We also should have had a 2nd pen and possibly a 3rd if Konate was inside the box.
If liverpool would of got a pen for the same thing I'm pretty sure we'd all be saying it's soft and never a pen.
Well Spence is no back while Conte is here sadly but agree he should be and Udogie isnt here yet and he'll hopefully be first team quality. I could take Davies as a back up, he's ok. Sess at a push but thats largely on homegrown. We really need to move on Doc, Emerson, Sanchez, Tanganga and i'd say Dier as well. Not seen much from Lenglet to sign him up either. RWB and 2 first team centre backs needed imo.
What a wonderful quote by Blanchflower , trouble is I feel even more depressed now !I genuinely can't watch us at the moment. I've been 4 times this season compared to the 20-25 games a season I have done for many years. Had a ticket for today's game and just couldn't be bothered to go. I don't even watch our League games on TV but do catch the odd CL match. I saw the Tweet of Kane's goal and that was the entirety of my viewing of today's game.
How pub players like Royal and Sanchez get to wear the famous Lillywhite shirt is literally beyond me.
I take my hat off to the fans that are still making the effort to attend.
I'll leave you with this.

You see that called a penalty as often as not. What you want from the officials is consistency and there's not much on that call. Although I think it was a close matter I do think consistent with how it is normally called it was a penalty. He clearly shoved Sessegnon in a way that had nothing to do with trying to play the play, knocking him off stride.I thought sess went down under minimal contact. Wasn't enough to warrant falling down like that for me personally.
Yep saw that. 4 minutes was a total joke the amount of time they wasted and kane having to help kick some other balls on they deliberately allowed to come on the pitch..none of that time factored in. It's totally corrupted officials quite clearly supporting certain clubs. How the fuck is it allowed. The kick to mouras head. Another joke of a decisionSomeone posted that Sess was a pussy for going over so easily
He was running flat out and was shoved from behind
Laws of physics suggest that you’re going to go down flat on your face which he did
Ref was bent on this and other numerous occasions today
Notice even at the end of added time he only added 14 seconds which included a sub where Salah took nearly a minute to walk off and an injury
Ref bought and paid for imv
How on earth can that be claimed?The boos were for dier and royal as we otherwise had a decent half.

Whilst I personally didn't think that was a pen I did think the ref was wearing a Liverpool shirt under his shirt. I never use excuses for our losses when we deserve to lose but he gave them so fucking much and us so little. Hojbjerg kicked in the knee no foul I remember a high foot on the right on bentancur not given. He was a cunt today that ref.Someone posted that Sess was a pussy for going over so easily

I think those pushes are associated with the game and it being a contact sport. It's been done for years it was probably done thousands of times today on Sunday league pitches up and down the country and not thought anything of. I don't think there was enough force in it from memory.You see that called a penalty as often as not. What you want from the officials is consistency and there's not much on that call.

I hear ya Bruvva but I’m kind of in the ‘in sickness and in health’ camp at the moment.I genuinely can't watch us at the moment.

yep they wasted over a min and a half throughout and the corrupt ref was so quick to blow.Someone posted that Sess was a pussy for going over so easily
