Anthony Gordon throwing himself to the floor already.

 

Looked a foul in real time but a good decision by the ref on the replay.

 

Be nice if we could get going.

 

lol I saw this post and a nearly identical one on redcafe at the same time

 

Booking for a dive? Wish that was more consistent

 

Diving little sod

 

Funny thing is he absolutely could have gotten the penalty if he didn’t dive. Brainless.

 

Doucoure's getting much closer to Thiago than any Man United player did in the week.

 

Liverpool’s system is probably the worst possible system for the players at our disposal so yeah I’m not that shocked

 

This match is ass.

 

Everton a lot better than I feared they might be. Sure if one goes in, the floodgates will open

 

Handbags!!

 

Wtf ref, if a player lays on the ground that long you have to check

 

VAR should be having a look at Mane there

 

I don’t think you do. Richarlison keeps diving and rolling about and it wasn’t a head injury. You reap what you sow.

Doucore should be iff IMO. He was aggressive to the referee and i wouldn’t blame him for sending him off.

Edit: Mane potentially too

 

Nah, not unless it’s a head injury. He was fine, it was just a time wasting attempt.

 

Watching Everton wind up Liverpool and their fans has been pretty funny tbh

 

Klopp running down the tunnel is hilarious to be honest.

 

Mane did it twice?? Absolutely should be off. How’s VAR not looking at that ffs.

 

That Mane one looks real, real bad on the replays there.

 

Too many passengers against this compact Everton block. Jota's link up play without space is not great. Diaz on soon if second half starts in the same way - need his ability to unbalance Everton down that side, especially given Coleman's lack of pace and Gray not being a good defender.

Doucoure's done a very good job getting out to Thiago, Mykolenko's defending Salah reasonably well with support, and very little space between the lines. Annoying how much we're forcing it through the middle but it's because we don't have the dribblers to beat defenders and open up space. Salah alone isn't enough.

 

I personally hope for more shit housing this half, just to watch the Liverpool fanbase implode.

 

Now that, that could have been a penalty.

 

Don't understand Trent playing this narrow. Takes away the crossing angle and leaves the channel open outside Matip. Everton constantly playing into that space.

It's not like Konate's playing.
