He should have finished earlier but this time he does finish. Werner beats Allison to slide it home on '25.
Wait, it's another incredibly tight offside call. VAR. It's Werner's outstretched arm. An outstretched arm has canceled the goal and it remains nothing-all.
He finally gets a pot and it's taken from him, but he's showing willing against this Liverpool high line.

Mane. 12 yards out. Goes to hit it. Fluffs it. Couldn't connect. Big chance gone on the half hour.

It was Werner's leaning shoulder that was offside, says VAR.
To avoid penalization you mustn't nudge thin air with your shoulder. But it's a ridiculously random roundabout, all this, and some you get, some you don't.

Mount outwits Fabinho and moves fast to unleash the strike which whistles into the bottom corner for nothing-one before the break. Fabinho's gotta take some stick for that.

The ref Atkinson has seen enough and blows up on the half. He's only here because Craig Pawson has been putting it about in Covidland and is now in cold storage.
Liverpool, no shots on target, haven't won at Anfield since last year - okay, December 16th. Quite a stat. They go in a goal down and with a lot of work to do in the second half.

Liverpool look soft. They don't have a clue on how to finish a run is seems.

FA's offside rules are stupid.

So today we are not getting any EPL games on television here in the States, so I won't be able to watch this game, which I would love to see. Also would have liked to check out West Brom vs Everton.
Of course, today you guys AREN'T posting the score in the thread title. Very funny.

Was that not a handball? No PK for Liverpool?

25 minutes for Liverpool to find something here. But they've looked way off it so far, you have to say.

Look at Salah, very unhappily nursing his drink on the bench since being subbed off on the hour. Ten minutes left now.

He wasnt performing well enough and it was time for some fresh blood.

He wasnt performing well enough and it was time for some fresh blood. Fair enough, though he seems to do something good every time I watch Liverpool. I would think there are other guys to bench. That #66 seems to mess up a lot. |
