Gosh Salah is such a diver. Absolute blatant yellow 

He is turning into an absolute pure cunt

[Vesper 29,131]

Keita should be off after a nasty challenge

fuck ref in the tank for the dippers

[Sideshow Luiz 2,310]

This Utd team are rolling.  I had them out of the top 4 race, but they are showing their dominance.

I blame FA for this. He dived a couple weeks ago, got penalty, no punishment. What is the point of this so called retrospective action

I am really starting to worry about them, they look a true force atm

Amazing what getting rid of Mourinho does for a club, lololol

It is not a surprise. They have title contender squad. Instead of competing for top 4 with us, they should have competed with city and pool for title

I don't know about that with their defence. Certainly should be in the top 4, though.

Kane dove against Watford, got carded and still didn't get a ban. FA need to set a precedent with all or the topic is a non-starter.

I still absolutely do not rate their back 4, especially their CB's. They have no remotely WC one. Lindelöf is oki, but they need a VVD/KK type. If they add KK or de Ligt, plus a WC RW, then they are close to Shitty/Victimpool level. I think they move for Bale or Zaha, maybe Pepe.

I think the rule day if you'd don't get penalty you don't get banned whihx I agree with. But salah case I damn obvious. I have no problems with referee mistakes but this is just bs. Salah has got 2/3 penalties simply by diving or with tiny contact. You can tell how scare Palace defender on engaging him in the box. Yes his dribbling is fantastic, but he dive a lot and for some reason get away with it and don't get banned. If Morata got the same treatment as Salah, there is not going to be a talk about him leavinvt

Going down easily and diving (going down without contact) are completely different. I don't agree with either, but the ref ultimately has the power to address these issues.

VAR wouldn't have overturned any of the PK's Liverpool have been awarded.

But they are not bad at all. We are in top 4 with Marcos Alonso as Lb and error prone David Luiz in back 4. 

Yes, a wc cb will make their defence better but honestly I can say the same thing for our defense or City defense. Their winger situation is perfectly fine. Lingard, Rashford, Sanchez, Martial. Not sure what more do you want. 

Solkjaer has done a very good job but honestly he came in during busy Christmas period with 0 training time yet he managed to win games after games.

well fuck, just got back and its 2 1 scousers

We just disagree on this

I do not rate 

Smalling

Bailly (too brittle)

Jones

Rojo

at all

those are not title winning (let alone CL winning) CB's

Lingard is their only natural RW, and again, not up to title winning level

Sanchez was an insanely bad move, thank dog it wasnt us

They seem to have a young gem in RB Dalot

Luke Shaw is serviceable, but not great, he is at a level they can win with, but barely

Valencia and Young are both 34 this summer and washed up very soon

I absolutely dont rate them, overall, at Shitty and VPool levels

far too many holes atm

[Magic Lamps 11,677]

That's maybe the dumbest goalkeeper error I have ever seen. He tips it over himself on towards goal. Completely undangerous. A good goalie caches that and a bad ones just lets it pass and it goes out for a goalkick. NO idea what he even was trying to do, tipping it behind himself is never a good idea

[Milan 17,867]

lol what the hell was that from the Palace goalkeeper? Isn't he a Liverpool fan?

[DDA 9,696]

The way Liverpool and United are treated not only by the FA but by the media in general is fucking disgrace.

Could you imagine if one of our players dived as many times as Salah has in recent times.

Pandemonium!
