Topic: Half time: Liverpool 0-1 Aston Villa

[elsewhere]

Salah should learn not to force the issue every time he touches the ball.

[JackWard33]

Centre backs and keeper are just horrendous on their goal

[Ray K]

They originally had the lines as inside then they moved them, the yellow line was Jota, the blue line Villa then all of a sudden it became a red line that moved the other side of the blue one and it went offside.

Unbelievably corrupt

About to write that. Absolutely laughably corrupt.

[LovelyCushionedHeader]

VAR RULES! The team looks very short on confidence.

Is it any wonder when they’ve had decisions like this go against them, literally all season?

[ToneLa]

OH NO
DON'T GO DOWN

[Cesar]

Game is bent as fuck but we've been slack when chances have been presented to us.
Just want this season jibbed now. And that kit. And agree with the "this means more" shite.

[StevoHimself]

Shameful decision, but the fact we only decided to put the ball in the net once we'd allow an average side to go ahead despite dominating them is the real issue here.

[PaddyPaned]

VAR has fucked over most teams at some point this season, so cannot say it’s anti-Liverpool. It is just ruining the game full stop, and I don’t see how anyone can defend it any more. Wasn’t a bad half overall - at least we created chances, just failed to take them (except one, obviously). Still very much in this, but our recent form doesn’t inspire confidence.

[CalgarianRed]

Alisson has been woeful this season.

The way our players levels have dropped this season has been concerning. Pressure of defending the title ?

[rawcusk8]

Suspect just like our nicey nicey approach play all season we’ll take these decisions with a whimper. We’ve been fucked over countless times and fuck all happens, just wait till the next one. This season can’t end quick enough it’s painful viewing. There is no fucking way Villa should be ahead, be it VAR or our shit finishing.

[KevLFC]

How many chances do we need to score. They only need 1 and its in

[Djozer]

Fuck off referees. Again. Playing alright though, mostly, apart from the finishing. Hopefully the officiating gets the lads angry enough to come out all guns blazing. Hopefully. Please god.

[Lee-87]

VAR and all its supporters can do one, the game is dead. Allowing a system that visibly cheats teams is mental. Bring on The Grand National

[killer-heels]

Alisson has been woeful this season.

First half of the season he was one of the main reasons we were top. He hasnt had a poor season.

[Kekule]

Ignoring the offside for a minute.  Villa have just spent 45 minutes trying to help us score a goal and we still couldn’t manage it.

They aren’t going to do that in the second half, so I can see us going goalless again.  Just so bad in front of goal. So, so bad.

[Dave D]

The var official actually drew the line using the image that we all saw on our tv screens. A 2D image from a fucking angle. What the fuck is going on? Is anyone going to question this?

[medley]

Two saveable goals in the last two games from Alisson. Needs to really up his game.

We've done well up to a point but no major chances created other than the Salah chance which was a mistake from them (oh and the goal...). Villa have been awful yet another average team finds a way to score against us at Anfield

[Schmohawk]

Slow, predictable, horrible.

And a great VAR decision to top if all off.

[Coolie High]

Salah should learn not to force the issue every time he touches the ball.

He has too, the midfielders create fuck all.

[Trendisnotdestiny]

Yup, dominated the game but haven't really tested their keeper.  Even the offside goal was a misshit from Bobby.

Tubby this is a shit comment

[DTRed]

Struggling to watch football anymore. Finger tips and arm hairs now! Ruined the game for many but it seems to be us that are suffering most.

[Nick110581]

Alisson has been woeful this season.

Imagine posting that thinking it’s ok.

[J_Kopite]

There's s better system coming. Semi-automated offside decisions using AI tracking.

Until then though it's a mess.

Even if it is offside, which I'm not convinced it is, there's no way they can conclusively say the Villa defender didn't get a touch, so how can they overturn the on pitch decision?

There's an even better one than that - scrapping VAR for good.

[killer-heels]

The way our players levels have dropped this season has been concerning. Pressure of defending the title ?

Think they are just waiting for their summer holidays. Its understandable. This season is a write off.

[David Struhme]

Awful.

[bobadicious]

This isn’t meant to be a sarcastic post. I genuinely don’t celebrate Liverpool goals when they go in. If I hear the commentator say “well they are checking this for a possible X, Y or Z,” I know it’s not a goal. If the opposition takes the kick off I celebrate.

 Its a load of shit. So team a score a goal and the check for A. Then team b score and they check for A, B, C , D etc to see if any of those points give a reason to disallow. It cannot be fair for everyone.

[Thepooloflife]

They looked to see if their player, played Jota on - several times. When that didn't work they went for the offside with their lines.......fuck VAR

[DangerScouse]

VAR has fucked over most teams at some point this season, so cannot say it’s anti-Liverpool. It is just ruining the game full stop, and I don’t see how anyone can defend it any more. Wasn’t a bad half overall - at least we created chances, just failed to take them (except one, obviously). Still very much in this, but our recent form doesn’t inspire confidence.

We have been far the most greatly impacted by it.

[number 168]

A player pretends to be injured, spends 4 minutes being ‘treated’ comes off, carries on and the clown in the middle plays 3 minutes extra. Same clown doesn’t notice the keeper time wasting after 5 minutes. Add in VAR and you think what is the fucking point anymore.

[ac]

Fucking pathetic tha that's how we come out and play v a team that walloped us 7 2 earlier in the season. Half the team is asleep. Just not up for it today as is most often the case lately

Yep. The lack of intensity is just not good enough.

[d.arn]

Can't even see the ball being struck on the VAR-images. How the fuck can they call it, when there is no way to see when the pass was played?

[eddiedingle]

Allison should be saving that

[vicar]

Overall we are much the better side and concede a shite goal from the only time they have the ball in our box.

On another day Salah has 2 and so does Jota.

But I still can't get over how many times VAR is used against us. How many times have they drawn the line on our forwards and the goal counted?
That looked more onside that the City goal earlier where I didnt even see any lines drawn to check?

[Circa1892]

Clear and fucking obvious.

The easiest answer is to never draw lines. If you need to draw a line it’s not clear and obvious.

Copy cricket and have linesman’s call when it’s so close.

[Sir Psycho Sexy]

switched it off. whats the point

[QC]

Centre backs and keeper are just horrendous on their goal

Center backs are horrendous every time they have to deal with the attack. Can’t believe how far we’ve been forced to regress on that part of the pitch.

[Pistolero]

Absolutely fuckin unreal that... clearly onside by every possible angle...then the cunnt at Stockley Park gets his etch-a-sketch out..does some physics-bending trigonometry and it's chalked off.....I fuckin give up...kiss me arse football...im off to do the garden

[red1977]

I don't know what i'm more disappointed about, That decision or Alison shaving his muzzy off.

Hopefully we can get our shots on target 2nd half.

[Sarge]

Played ok, not great but need to be more clinical, poor goal to conceed, Alisson was poor for it. Offside rule not VAR is killing the game.

[tubby]

Tubby is a shit comment

I'm a what now?
