Burnley (A) - Tue 26th Dec 2023 (5:30pm)

And that is how a referee attempts to fix a match.

 

If there had been any chance to award them a penalty, no matter how marginal, he would have given it.

 

I hope Jota gave him the finger as he left the pitch.

 

Cunt (Tierney, not Jota)

Premier League did their best to change the outcome of that game. I don't care what anyone says, these are no longer errors. They are deliberate.

If you’re watching on Amazon Prime itself you can choose the Stadium FX sound option to turn the commentary off.

I can't agree with that. (I missed the start. I can, however, confirm that it was shite from the tenth minute to the end.)

Imagine the frustration in the VAR room when they could not find the slightest reason to chalk off Jota's goal....

 

They and Tierney have worked hard and got everything set up perfectly for a dodgy Burnley penalty in injury time and Jota goes on to ruin what should have been another really satisfying "good process" evening.

It was pretty awful to be fair but still not as bad as that hysterical cunt on sky. 

[Jordy Brouwer]

Somewhere Howard Webb is looking at the league table and copiously weeping.

All things considered that was a decent enough performance. The talk from the commentary is that Burnley were much better in the second than the first and that Liverpool should've made it look easier. Only just now in the post-game Robbie Mustoe mentions if Burnley's plan was to hang in there they were lucky for the disallowed goals. He the only one at half-time that mentioned Nunez had a point about there not being much if any contact on Gakpo's disallowed goal. I suppose since he's employed by NBC he might have a bit of leeway to go off script.

The way I see it we've scored 4 goals and 2 of them have been disallowed for at best the most pedantic of reasons and at worst flat out desire to influence the result of the game.

Yes, and if you don't know there's an option to just have the stadium noise with Amazon. 

[bossy]

Deserved and more stressful than it should have been with 2 good goals ruled out. Still winds me up all that farting about at the back though. Top of the league ma!

[El Rojo]

Made that harder than it should have been with some loose finishing and of course being cheated out of Gakpo’s goal.

 

No injuries, Nunez scoring again and a big player back in Jota. Excellent.

 

Special praise for Quansah, Elliott and our utility man Joey Gomez for their efforts.

 

I don’t like praising the opposition, but Tierney can feel unlucky tonight - he did his best to try and prevent us getting the three points.

[mike23]

Ended up being a hundred times harder than it should have been. Partly due to poor finishing and general sloppiness from us, mostly because of the officials yet again. Never mind; it's 3 points, we're top of the table, and now we can just relax and see how everyone else does. 

 

Bonus boxing day coverage of the latest installment of United's emmy award winning comedy season up next to enjoy. The plus side is there's not even really a downside to it. If United lose then it's more comedy at their expense. If they win or manage a plucky draw then Villa fall further behind us. 

[George Costanza]

Where's a turkish president when you need one.  Tierney needs a fucking shoeing the snide corrupt cunt.

 

Made harder work of it than needed.  Still very wasteful in attack.  Going to need to be better going into a tough January period.

Jota is coming back at exactly the right time. Mac Allister can’t be too far away either.

[Bjornebye]

Wished we just won one nil so all the Nunez haters could cry. 
 

Proper Reds love Nunez. Up the fucking top of the league Rebs!!!!!

[stringvest]

Great stuff from Jota - he's a diamond.  

 

People falling over themselves to slate Endo for that wayward pass, nowhere to be seen when he wins that tackle to set the goal up.  Smashing.

[halewood pete]

Massive 3 points,let's just keep winning now

[AngryOfTuebrook]

I was late to this, so I missed the Nuñez who does good goals and just saw the Nuñez who keeps running offside.

Endo is a smashing player. He was very good tonight against a bunch of orcs. I'd have him in the starting 11 every game.

[stringvest]

our bits and pieces players once again demonstrating why they should be starting on the bench.

What did you think of Endo overall. I saw a lot of good stuff and some less good stuff. 

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

Apart from a 10-15 minute spell, we largely controlled that game. But only secured the win late on. That was probably down to two legitimate goals being ruled out though. 
 

The Gakpo one was shockingly bad officiating. Never a foul from Núñez. You can make more of a case for the second one though. Salah is offside. Even if he was pushed there. But there’s a strong argument that it has no real bearing on the goal. Trafford was already going across his goal and wouldn’t have been able to redirect his weight to try and save the shot, even if Salah was on or off. 
 

Joe Gomez can piss off too. With his sensible defending and not diving in and getting booked. Just what you expect from someone whose middle name is Dave!
