I noticed that, sounded more like we were playing Arsenal.
Not looking forwards to the game at theirs, it is the one game this season were we could lose our unbeaten run.
Yeah, said to my lad at the end it's only 3 weeks before we have the return on a Thursday night, so they will still be wound up about this game.
Nuno seems a polite intelligent manager who talks sense but last night he was allowing his disappointment to cloud his judgement. Kept repeating that the var ref is hundreds of miles away and doesn't feel the flow of the game like the referee. It would have been the same result if the var team were at Anfield.
It's the offside ruling that is the problem not where they are based. Coady was equally frustrated which I can understand but to question hand ball against Virgil smacks of desperation as nobody appealed or thought about it when he passed the ball. Calm as you like.
Klopp said that the on field ref should look at the screen to check hand ball etc. Riley clearly wants it done by video experts who have the technology to draw lines over the replays. This is causing anger and calls for var to be scrapped and chants of fu** var which could well be what he wants.
A few weeks ago Riley met the officials of all 20 clubs and persuaded them to continue with the madness that no other league has done with offside until season end. The refereeing standard and var implementation won't improve while he is in charge.
Cockney singing it was. Tommy Shelby and his gang did have a lot of tooing and froing on that canal to London which may explain it.
