1-1

He was great before the goal. Great strike too. I can't stand what Dzeko just did there. He thought he got fouled and then stayed down. City demanded the ball to be kicked out of play, but Dzeko's head wasn't hit and it was clearly a minor knock and the referee rightly decided to let play continue, Dzeko just kept on the ground for about a minute. Liverpool scored.Then, Dzeko got up. He's fine. Why should Liverpool kick the ball out? You can't go down in order to disrupt the possession of the other team. The play should always continue unless there is a head injury or an obviously serious injury. That's it.

This!!! Play to the whistle and it's a MANS game... Jesus when I played Rugby and Football I was always glad to play Football, so many pussies in Football

Not like Rugby where some dude tried to bite my nose in the scrum, luckily I kneed him in the face and he stopped lol - quick move from Hooker to Fly Half after that

Defintely. People go down way to easily. If the ref thinks its serious he can stop it otherwise play on.

I dislocated and fractured my knee cap playing rugby, i much prefer football, but i do love how the ref is absolutely tiny in comparison but they accept what he says, and get on with the game even though they could floor him with their little finger.

Seeing Sturridge, Suarez, Rooney, RVP, Defoe, Hernandez, Welbeck, Dzeko and Aguero play, just reminds me how shit Torres is and how we have to put up with him ad his endless failures to deliver. Ruined this club to new lows.

I literally cannot wait til the summer

We have tottenham right up our ass... Things arn't looking great.

I just seen the replay. A clear foul on Dzeko. Tackled from behind. The play must be stopped, then.

Don't know why you're so concerned about this.

You should want Liverpool to win and get decisions so it doesn't look as embarrassing for us again with City and United 20+ points ahead of us.

Fuck City. Let them get hosed by the refs like we always do.

[Santiago. 1,500]

Why did we ever let Sturridge go....unbelievable.

We have a 50mill flop who would rather play in midfield, and Demba Ba who is almost a cripple and we can't over use him.

Fuck our board

Some people need to stop crying about Sturridge every game he scores

Definetly, we all know he is a good player, but it was time to move on!

We are much better with Ba + Falcao/Cavani than with an unhappy Sturridge. 12 million was good money and we did right in selling him.

That's not the point. Once it was rules not a foul, Dzeko should have got up and Liverpool should not have kicked it out.

What makes you feel I was concerned about it ? Just another observation by me. That´s all.

It should have been ruled as a foul. Basically very simple.

Maybe, but there are tons of plays that could be fouls that aren't called. It isn't like there was a foul that wasn't called that led directly to a goal. Dzeko had lots of time to get up and run back. What lead to the goal was Dzeko lying on the ground, faking a serious injury.
