Endo was stood in an offside position.

Did he stop the the Chelsea player from playing the ball or challenging for it by impeding him? Would the Chelsea player have played the ball or challenged VVD? Did Endo step into his path to impede or did he stand his ground? Both of those are questionable therefore any error was not clear and obvious.

 

Yes to the bold. It's exactly what that play was designed to do. Colwill was marking VVD. It would've been fine if Endo had taken note of the line and stayed onside.

[Vincent Vega]

I really hate that Tory faced twat Chilwell. 

[Red Phoenix]

Whatever happens from here on out, Kelleher has been fucking amazing.

[Jennings]

Am still gobsmacked by the use of VAR for Virge's goal. 

 

Goals can't be celebrated anymore,

 

If you look hard enough, nearly every goal could be argued out.

The balls on Klopp putting all the youngsters on.

Balls bigger than King Kong.

Has to go to pens surely. We're going to be opened up if we keep taking risks with the players we have out there.

[BeefStroganoff]

Those that say it isn’t influenced by refs can get to fuck.

 

We would have a trophy now but for those corrupt bastards.

[Elite]

Steve Nicol is a fucking clown.

[Red Phoenix]

I agreed with Carra too, he said he can understand Trent doing the inverted fullback thing, but why Gomez? He should just stay in his position. It nearly fucked us at least once back there.

[Anubis]

Co-commentator on DAZN thinks our goal should have stood.

[Tenfolder]

Think this is where I turn off as I cant take another 30 minutes of this(plus potential penalties). Team looks absolutely knackered and there are no dice left to throw, I hope we can find a winner as I can't fault our display today at all really, odds were already stacked against us before even kicking off and then the ref had to decide he needed the game to be about him.

[Mark M]

So proud of the lads today what a performance down to the bare bones. 

[Strontium]

The subs show that Klopp has basically given this up, which is fair enough, with these officials and this injury list we ain't winning shit today.

[BeefStroganoff]

This is why we are stuck with this shit because people like fucking jamie redknapp try and justify the decision. Fucking stop it you get.

[Scooby Dudek]

Anyone who says good things about that Manc cunt, can go fuk themselves.

 

[Bobby Hundreds]

I'd ask to see the coin Kavannagh just flipped the prick.

Diaz didn't do much wrong, there was no clear pass on. He was trying to win a free and prob should have got one 

It's just fifa, he should have just pressed the sprint button. 

[Special K]

I bet we go down to 10 men in the first 5 minutes of extra time

Gomez has played that role well from LB. The problem is when he drifts inside from RB he can't bend a pass out wide because he doesn't trust his left foot.

Both hairy hands and Andy gray think it should have stood as well. 

 

Hairy hands has actually gone as far too say that the var man can see the apparent impingement by endo, but couldn't see the obvious red card by caicedo 

[Carvalho Diablo]

Arsenal's first minute goal at Anfield, all the Sky mob were singing their praises because they'd blocked off our defenders.

 

Double standards, and we get shafted again. Time after time after fucking time.

Gomez has played inverted fullback better this season than he's played centre back for the last 5 years.

[niallers]

Yeah, we look fucked. No more subs. Kids look nervous and why wouldn't they.  Our game midweek hasn't helped.

We just have to sit in and try get through this.

They've done us proud however

I like the justification "subjective offside"

 

I didn't know the quest to disallow goals got so philosophical. 

 

I wan't to see a theoretical offside, an ontological offside and Schrodinger's offside.

Yup, shit like this is exactly why I can't blame Klopp for having had enough.
