Topic: Half time: Leicester 1-2 Liverpool

[Spezialo]

Wrong decision by Mignolet for the goal. Nearly cost one before when he got tackled.

Looking decent going forward. Could be 4 or 5 up. Need to tske more chances at goal.

[Caligula?]

Crawl back into our shells? That's clear bollocks. We were chasing a third, attacking well, even into injury time

They dominated the last 15 minutes or so. We could barely even keep the ball.

[Mighty_Red]

Not sure what you have to do to get a goal disallowed, fucking ridiculous.

That said, I would have to blame Matip, there was no need to get into a tangle with Vardy, Mig was getting to the ball every time. We gave away a free kick in a dangerous position and gave them a glimpse.

Been a good 1st half until that, two great goals and We should be out of sight but now they will come at us hard. Just need to get the 3rd now.

[JackWard33]

Ref needs some new glasses ffs. Vardy dived and Okazaki fouled Mignolet 

He does but they also had a perfectly good goal disallowed so ...

[MolbyLovesGravlax]

Vardy dive is clear as day, you can see exactly what he did, which he has done many times before, and been booked for.
Ref being conned, fair enough, it happens, but if they miss it then he should be punished for it retroactively.
He won't, so he'll do it again...

[Igor Tripod Biscan]

Dive?.....  not me ref

[SerbianScouser]

However all stemmed from Matip’s needless foul.

It was never a foul, not even close.

[KillieRed]

Vardy hooks his leg to get the free kick. ...migs fouled ...just fuck off Taylor you corrupt c*nt

Exactly,  Vardy is cheating scum. Okazaki was holding Mignolets arm and Taylor couldn't wait to assist.

Fucking sick of getting screwed by refs.

[Lucho_LFC8]

Why does our defence always let opposing players stand on Mignolet at every corner & none of them pick up the player and try and protect the keeper?

[BazC]

Good to see Coutinho back. Not a great performance by most at the moment, our midfield and defence leaves a lot to be desired again. Hopefully we can kill this one off and get a couple of early goals. These guys will always go to the end - their attitude to their football is pretty much second to none in the whole league. It’s how such a mediocre group of players took the league. Can’t afford to drop off or get complacent against them.

[Bruce Springsteen]

Mignolet needs to be tougher than that.

[stockdam]

Err that goal was offsides. 4 players offside before Ozakaki "scored"

I'd have to see it again but I thought they were offside for the first header.

[marto]

A dive and a foul on our keeper leads to a goal. Well done refs.

[Red-Soldier]

Nice finish to the half.

We need to take more of our chances!

[keeby]

Utterly shocking refereeing - Taylor needs to take a look at himself - incompetent fucktard. Mignolet does not help himself, ah well we are  winning !

[Gnurglan]

Shame about their goal. We're ahead and that's positive. Don't like the way they chase us. We don't look comfortable with it. We need a third goal. If we can find a way past their chasing I reckon we'll get the necessary goal. Let it become a physical battle and this will be difficult for us.

[SweetLeftFoot]

No blame attached to Mignolet on the goal when he was being fouled. Fucking refs giving the big decisions against us as usual.

[lachesis]

Vardy was gunning for fouls off Matip for a long time, trying to buy a yellow. Needs to be smarter.

Also said at Burnley, no one protects Mignolet. They just let players encroach on him and foul him. Migs needs to start throwing them off him and away from him, get the refs attention. Just push them out the way. Ref talks to them, calls a free kick.

Thought we were playing quite professionally to be honest. Their goal takes the gloss off like. Could have had a couple more but haven't. Story of our season. Shite finishing by Firmino and Salah.

Thought Okazaki's goal was onside. Thought their actual goal was a foul. Even's out I guess.

[Zee_26]

Leicester players diving all over the place and the ref is falling for it almost every time. Just hope Klopp gets the players to refocus. We were brilliant up to our second goal.

[redprodigal]

Vardy is a fucking cheating c*nt. He does it all the time. I hope he gets his fucking legs snapped. c*nt.

[S]

We need another 2-3 to have a chance at winning.

[StrawberryFieldsForever]

Just got to keep our heads. Please please please.

[Adam_LFC]

Our defence are going into games knowing they will likely concede and are walking on eggshells. It's so fucking obvious.

[Qston]

We're winning fellas and going forward we can score more. All under control

[liversaint]

What the heck was Mignolet doing for their goal.

Awful goal to concede

watch it again

[killer-heels]

No need to go near him. Mignolet had read it clearly.

He cannot just give him a free run, he tried to put him off. Just normal defending. Vardy hooked his leg and dived.

[Barneylfc∗]

Same old shit in defence, same old excellence in attack.

Dive by Vardy and a foul on Mignolet, but they had an onside goal ruled off so can't be too pissed off on the whole.

At least 5 of them were offside

[Johns_Barn]

They just seem to run out of any drive and passion to kill the game off, almost like they did't know what to do. This defence in its current guise will always let you down, so no surprise there...
Today is the first time I've noticed our overall lack of height. We've been out challenged in the air today.

Thought Maguire and Chilwell looked decent for them.


Lets see what Liverpool are all about with the second half.

[harryc]

Where did those 4mins come from I thought I saw 2 mins held up.

Incompetence of the highest order, officiating and our defending.

[Gerry83]

Mignolet gets to that if Okazaki lets go of his fucking arm IMO.

Its like home judging in boxing. You can't afford to leave it to the scorecards. Likewise we shouldnt be expecting the officials to make the correct call as we know that just doesnt happen.

[Vote For Pedro]

Continually shooting ourselves in the foot. Vardys a c*nt but why put ourselves in that situation in the first place. Lets go out and batter them start of the second half and kill this off.

[RyanBabel19]

Really annoys me we game after game leave a man to block mignolet on corners

Its so amateur

[stevo747]

Dive by Vardy , followed by a foul by Okasaki . Bloody rubbish.

[xbugawugax]

to those blaming the defence..i have no words.

Mignolet gambles --- this play is the epitome of a player who is being coached to take on a skill --- and is unable to master it.

pretty sure he is coached being held inside the penalty box

[Shepnois]

Leicester are a snide cheating bunch, hope we fucking do them in the 2nd half.

[redmark]

Of course. We can not go in with a comfortable 2-0 lead. We have to give away the cheapest goal imaginable. What was Mignolet doing?

Being held.

[FernandoTourettes]

Just can't understand why we decided to sit back after going 2-0 up when we know we can't fucking defend.

The irony is the FK and resulting corner came from us pushing up slighty and done with their predicatable first time long ball.

[luckyluke]

That is just a ridiculous goal on every level. What on earth was Taylor thinking... Matip as well, even though it was a dive, there was no reason to start that challange on Vardy. FFS.

They were wrong for the offside goal as well. I think the linesman only raised his flag for Okazaki, who was onside, but not for Maguire, who wasn't. They're terrible.

Trying to be optimistic but you just know we'll concede at least one more. It's just written in the stars somewhere.

[nomis]

Good display until the refs decided to turn a blind eye to vardy diving and mignolet being impeded

[sikingthegreat1]

Vardy is just so despicable....

Getting his leg out to initiate contact.... Serial diver yet the referee totally buys it

And the maguire foul on salah.... Could have been a red, yet because its 2-0 the referee let it go, insane
