By inky Go To Postthey are mentally checked out, probably physically exhausted. No turning it around this season.Hoping this is a jinx 🤞
By Hitch Go To PostWhat a fucking shit decision that was to start Keita.
Baffling. He hadn't played in weeks? And I can't even remember his last great game for the team. Wasn't even a gamble from Klopp.
By batong Go To PostCant play worse in second half at least.Hoping this is a jinx 🤞
It's fairly typical for Liverpool to come out in these big games and just stink up the first half, seems to happen loads. Normally not punished though, perhaps that's why they never learned.
On the other hand, the second goal should clearly not have stood and RM should probably be a man down, so I can always engage in my favourite excuse of ref bashing

By Meier Go To PostAgreed, very unlucky for Bellingham. City have been way to casual at multiple moments so far. Wake up, boys.Not like we're playing great, but that would have helped us quite a bit.

Sorry Penny. You deserve to be level here. Goal could be key even if you end up losing this leg. I'd be #fuming.
By Xpike Go To Postpls liverpool just need a real howler and theyre back in itWe look miles away from getting into a position to even pressure them into a mistake short of Kroos booting it into his own net from the halfway line.
By KP Go To PostWould fancy Liverpool to do them at Anfield thoughNot with no fans tho
By inky Go To PostSorry Penny. You deserve to be level here. Goal could be key even if you end up losing this leg. I'd be #fuming.Just fucking sucks.
We're already the underdog and that shithouse ref punishes us. No reason blow the whistle right away. Should have let Bellingham score and check it via VAR if his eyes are that bad.
By KP Go To PostWould fancy Liverpool to do them at Anfield thoughNo chance
We'll be even worse if anything
By Pennywise Go To PostJust fucking sucks.So dumb. Why would he even blow the whistle unless he's 110% sure that there was a foul

I mean, the fact that VAR can't check it on a technicality like that is atrocious too. When it's plainly obvious to see and your system forbids you from applying it, you've failed. 99% of it is on the ref of course.
By FootbalIFan Go To PostSo dumb. Why would he even blow the whistle unless he's 110% sure that there was a foulRefs are more eager to protect goalkeepers for good reasons, but there was no need to end that situation right away.
Meanwhile every offside call takes ages even though people already know it's offside.
Ref only hasn't given that as a foul on Mane because he'd have to send Vasquez off. Blockheaded cunt.
Not that it excuses the shite we've served up.

By Hitch Go To PostRef only hasn't given that as a foul on Mane because he'd have to send Vasquez off. Blockheaded cunt.Does VAR work differently in the CL or something? Can't believe they didn't call the goal back, or just tell the ref it was a red card offence

If linesmen can wait a minute before flagging, a ref could wait a few secs

Feel like the ref is 100% at fault
By Eternity Go To PostWho is that ref in the city game?Ovidiu Hategan apparently. Not familiar with him by name or face, but he must be considered pretty damn good if he got this game.
By Meier Go To PostOvidiu Hategan apparently. Not familiar with him by name or face, but he must be considered pretty damn good if he got this game.Remember the game with the assistant calling a player "Negru"?
Think keeping a clean sheet might be more important than a 3rd one, but then again is hard to defend for 45 minutes..
By Pennywise Go To PostRemember the game with the assistant calling a player "Negru"?and this one, play off game error handball
By markao Go To Postand this one, play off game error handballyou know this because Sierd de Vos mentioned it after the break
