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.

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.

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 11,452]

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 17,835]

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

[DDA 9,570]

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!

[Vesper 27,329]

wow, Robertson on the 94th minute VPool goal

if ANYONE wants to know why people rate Alonso shit

watch that play

Alonso cannot even dream of such a thing

[Vesper 27,329]

holy shit

Palace just scored

lol

4 3

 

[Vesper 27,329]

crazy game

[chelsea_4_eva 1,143]

The amount of luck victimpool have had this season.... 

[Laylabelle 9,298]

What a load of crap... 4-3 Palace and Man U won... Yipeee. So glad they had Jose to start with cause otherwise we'd be behind then.. May end up with if not careful. 

[Fulham Broadway 16,396]

Shows the Liverpool defence is frail - lucky this time with Palarse errors.

They looked in he dustbin for something to eat, they found a dead rat and they thought it a treat....

[Milan 17,835]

Man United scrapped this. Their fixture list is a joke, really. Hopefully their ride will come to an end soon. They were lucky today.
