[FrankMunro-371]

Really soft penalty though what the feck Lovren thought he was doing is anyone's guess

Anywhere else on the pitch and it would be a free kick, it was good to see the referee being strong enough to award the penalty. Very silly from Lovren.

Soft as shit penalty. Cavlert-Lewin has been very clever and the referee fell for it. Yeah there's contact but it's created by DCL stopping his run and he then drops on the floor. Lovren is shit but but don't think he did anything there.

 

[FrankMunro-371]

Lovren still moaning after the final whistle. He only has himself to blame.

Placed his hands on him, might not have been a lot of contact but always gives the ref a decision to make when you see that sort of contact.

Bad decisions cost Liverpool, Klopp's selection, Mane's selfishness and Lovren's stupidity. Everton should've had no chance of getting anything from that game.

Calvert-Lewin steps across him though and natural reaction when someone does that is to put your hands out in front of you, he doesn't push him. DCL has won that penalty more than Lovren has given it away but it's easy to criticise him because he is pretty shit and has a mistake in him. Liverpool only have themselves to blame as Mane should have passed and i have no idea why they took their best player off.

 

[Parkins left foot]

Everton player going away from the goal - all Lovren had to do was stand upright & not touch him

Only himself to blame

If you're in the box best instinct is don't put your hands anywhere near anyone, it's a school boy mistake. It might be sneaky but it's easily bought.

 

[Lycan]

There's no decision to make there. It's just not a penalty. Lovren gets too tight but that's no excuse for that absolute abortion of a decision from the ref.

Liverpool were robbed.

But in that situation it's easy to do what Lovren did and he doesn't foul DCL even if there's hands on him. If that's the case there would be 100 penalties a game because defenders are always putting their hands on attackers, i just feel you should actually have to foul them for a penalty to be given.

Exactly.

I hate this point 'he's giving the ref a decision to make'. How about they just make the right decision?

 

[slink]

Surely has to be a penalty on Otamendi, 2 United players touched him with their hands.

 

[slink]

Absolutely love how comfortable Ederson is on the ball.

 

[YoungWolf]

Silly mistake by Delph there as 1-0 half time City and united would have to commit themselves More second half.

Now will go back to how the previous 40 minutes had been! City Comfortable but neither side looking like scoring

 

[Jack Regan]

Well that escalated quickly, awful defending from Utd from the corner. Then terrible from Delph for the equaliser.

 

[Jack Regan]

More appalling defending hands City the lead.

Mangala on for Jesus, is a surprising sub.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Gives United a chance with the chuckle brothers at centre half. A chance they don't really deserve as they've not been in the game.

Barely heard Lingard's name all match, Joe Mason style disappearing act.

 

[Jack Regan]

Best 30 million quid Porto have ever earned for sure. Especially considering how much we can potentially sign Boly for.

No chance I'd swap Boly for Mangala. Willy is the far superior defender.

 

[The Bear]

Hard to say since he's never really been tested in the Prem. Previous fans called him Mangala-Lite according to Alan.

 

[MARKakaJIM]

Games like today make you wonder how Lukaku ever made it as a professional footballer, let alone get to play for the clubs he has and be traded for the volumes of money that he has been.
