Tottenham at Anfield, February 4th 2018

[Colt Seavers]

I honestly can’t believe some of the posts on here. I really must be missing something on the 2nd pen because I just don’t see it. What I do see is a diving cheating cunt.

And as for the “spurs deserved a point argument” yeah the probably did but it doesn’t work like that. If you want to go down that route and take actual scoring out of the game and just rate results on performance we would be comfortabely 2nd.

[Gnasher]

I thought we were quite comfortable till we changed to 3 at the back, keeper didn't have a shot to save.

 

Again the two center halfs and keeper are in the firing line for all the late incidents.

[J-V]

I think the penalty decisions were correct.

 

How can it be correct when Kane's offside leading to the Pen.

[AngryOfTuebrook]

Hmmm, it does look like he's kicked him and Lamela's reaction is instant.

You wouldn't call it deliberate or even reckless, though. He's going for a ball that's there to be kicked and yer man from Spurs gets in the way.

Shit rule mate, but apparently Lovren touching it meant that play was reset and he was onside.

[The Golden Eel]

It depends on what the rule is - there seems to be differing views on here. You like to think the officials know the rules, though it wouldn't be a huge surprise if they didn't... 

[Red74]

I think the penalty decisions were correct.

That’s not my point. My point was that this is what we needed to do against these today as they’d do it to us.

[A_S]

For all the talk about contact or no contact, maybe we should discuss whether Lamela if offside or not in the first place. Looks off to me.

 

Does VAR call offside there, even when it's tight?

No it works on goals scored, we know. They got a point which I think they deserved. 

[Red House]

He's offside but that is so tight and WITH Robinson in front of the lino, it's a tough to see if real time.

 

No tougher to see than the minimal contact resulting in the penalty.

[Red House]

Yes.

[dylstar]

They're subs were better than our subs . Wanyama scored a screamer and Lamela got a "soft" pen while The Ox Wijnaldum and Matip didn't do enough for me .

[an tha]

All the decisions debate aside (not easy when they were so crucial, so debatable) how tired we looked in that 2nd half is a bit worrying and how our midfield was overrun in 2nd half is very worrying - Spurs are a good team but it was uncomfortable to see how much of the ball we allowed them/they won in that 2nd half.

 

Our best 3 in there looks to be unknown at the mo.

[Captain Turdseye]

You’d have to think so, given it was pulled back after play had gone on. In that situation they need to be looking at all the possibilities.

[VladimirIlyich]

Appalling officiating(yet again)and cheating,diving twats cost us an unlikely victory. Bet no retrospective charges will follow though.

[Jennings]

Yeah. Agree with this. Our subs didnt change the game in our favour,...even slightly.

[johnsusername]

Rottenham Hotspur.

 

Delle Ali is a bad snide.

 

Thought we were quite poor.

[J-V]

Carragher is a Murdoch bitch now isn't he?

 

He talks shit the best of times anyway.

 

[Red74]

Apart from salah’s goals our front 3 were fucking dreadful in that 2nd half. They were miles away from the ball amd when it did get to them they either let the ball go past them with ease or make another terrible decision when they had it which lead to them flooding through our porous midfield with ease.

 

Mane needs serious pressure on his place as he’s phoning it in now

[jsjazz]

So from another site:

 

"Here, I looked this up, this is what the offside law, rule 22 says

Gaining an advantage by being in that position means;
- Playing a ball, that rebounds to him from an opponent, having previously been in an offside position.

Pretty scary neither ex players or refs have the slightest clue about basic rules."

[J-V]

Shit rule mate, but apparently Lovren touching it meant that play was reset and he was onside.

 

He didn't intentionally pass it back it just touched him so the offside rule still counts.

I can't believe that people are saying that it's not a penalty when somebody tries to hoof it clear and kicks somebody in the back of the calf instead.

 

It's hilarious. It's a stonewall penalty. If it hadn't have been given for us, I'd be unhappy.

[SasaS]

Well, that would make it a foul and a penalty, wouldn't it? Kicking someone in the calf from behind who is positioned between you and the ball?

Agree. Firmino and Salah (Even thougj he scored 2!) have carried us most of the season so they get a pass. Mane to be dropped but we can't as we have fuck all depth.

Indeed.

 

Ne Mo Imya, you still here, lad? You've gone awfully quiet since those videos got posted.
