By JesalR Go To PostImagine thinking that was a dive from Mane!You can dive and still have contact. Walker barely, barely touches him (the angle from the behind the end line showed this) and he flies to the ground. It was nowhere near a penalty.
It was definitely a foul on Sterling earlier, but we've always seen players punished for trying to stay on their feet, it's not some conspiracy
Still funny to me that people assume Gomez is the defensive leader at the back now. Surely it's going to be Matip
Watch this again and again. It is the slightest touch and his dive is not indicative of a realistic reaction to the contact. https://streamja.com/0PXvW

It was nowhere near a penalty.He runs across a player going at relative speed into the box, it's a foul. Slight as the actual contact may be, it's a definite foul.
It’s soft I agree, but Walker’s reaction tells you everything you need to know about his decision to step across the player
that is certainly a pen. of course he throws himself harder to the ground than he has to, but as others pointed out... that's kind of what you have to do, because apparently if you try to keep balance rather than going down, it's rarely a pen.
That reads as mis-control from Jesus, but even if it was, the way he takes the shot after that is excellent

Trent's positioning is completely wrong. He needs to be closer and less to the side of Jesus. He couldn't have defended a proper first touch either from that position.
