Topic: Half time: Liverpool 1-1 Arsenal

VAR said his hand was moving back towards his body.

Coote making it up.

Good process boys.

Check complete

Can’t, can’t do anything

[Mister Flip Flop]

He could have a Ballon d'Or season and you'd still be saying he's shit.

Where did i say he's shit? He's just no Curtis 

[Legs]

But he was slipping and moved his hand towards the ball. If he’s falling and cant get out the way fair enough, or if he’s put his hand down to break his fall fair enough but he just pushed the ball away with his hand

Its nailed on no excuse to not give it but here we are we were done out of two last season against these too.

[gemofabird]

Che Neville says he slipped thus it's not a pen lol

After saying ' he could be in trouble here'.

[Funky_Gibbons]

I don’t think anyone can replace Bobby…

You don’t need to replace Firmino in this system, it’s not set up for a false 9.

[LovelyCushionedHeader]

Apart from Konate's error for their goal, he's been an absolute beast..

It's not Konate's error at all. He holds his line which is what everyone should do.

And ultimately, if Alisson stays put, he has a simple save.

[Zee_26]

Even Dermot Gallagher agreeing it should be a penalty.

[rafathegaffa83]

VAR said ‘the player moved his arm towards his body’

Absolute nonsense.

[kasperoff]

Jesus Christ, how is that not a pen? I can’t fucking believe it anymore.

[naYoRHa2b]

Good process boys.

Yeah it's not moving towards his body, he might slip but it's handball.

We'll have to start slipping on the line and throwing a few hands in the air.

IT’SAFUCKINGPENKAVANAGHYOUFUCKINGFUCKWIT!

[Fromola]

"nothing in their box" bar the goal and the pen we should have had?

The pen shout is more on the edge and the goal Salah cuts in from the flank.

It takes a great goal like that for us to create anything. The effort was great, but we'll have to keep the intensity up and create proper chances now.

We're talking a period of several league games where we're not creating enough good chances.

[88_RED]

Wonder if Howard Webb’s No 1 bum boy Michael Owen thinks it’s a penalty

Ian Wright sitting right next to hik in the studio said it was a stonewall pen..

[Bullet500]

Zinchenko cannot defend inside

It’s perfect for Salah and he set up the same scenario again but opted for the pass instead of shooting again

Yeah. Literally showed why he isn't a full back. Dropped deep, played Salah on, misjudged the ball's flight and let it bounce (have to head it away), and then lost the 1vs1.

Pretty sure Tomiyasu would have started this game for Arsenal if he were fit.

[ShrewKop]

It’s a penalty, if he didn’t mean it then just don’t book him. But it’s a foul, intentional or not.

Gakpo has been non existent, we need him off. Such a shame for Tsimi, he’s been great recently, but that didn’t look pleasant.

This is a good game, let’s hope we find the winner.

[xbugawugax]

Bet you'll not hear much from the 'LiVARpool' crew regarding that blatant penalty. Absolute stonewall pen.

you wont hear anything cause the media wont say anything about it. look when saka or martinelli flops like a dolphin inside the box. media and arteta will never stop whining about it.

[Sharado]

You'd expect to see Nunez and elliot next half if we go for it. They needed half time there, if we get the lead I think they'll crumble to be honest. They're still very much a threat though, it's a very good game.

And that handball decision just sums up football at the minute. Shambles.

[Mister Flip Flop]

Commentary embarrassing, pen all day long and the fawning over Arsenal is laughable.

We will put these back in their box in the second half

Imagine having Sky commentary on for a match. Embarrassed for you mate 

[StevoHimself]

I'm just used to it now.

Any foul or decision given against us is, "Yeah, you can't argue with that."

Every decision or foul in our favour is harsh. Carra acting as if Havertz's yellow was affront to the sport. Neville going to great lengths to explain why the handball wasn't a penalty. Imagine that was a Liverpool player.

[StL-Dono]

We look on top for the final 40 minutes.  I think the ref has actually been pretty good and fair so far with the exception of absolutely botching the obvious handball in the box.  That one is about as obvious as you can get.  Sure, he's putting his hand out to brace for the fall and also, in the process swiping at the ball to his advantage.  As clear as day....

3-1 Reds!

[killer-heels]

Need more from Gakpo and Diaz.

[TALBERT]

Even Dermot Gallagher agreeing it should be a penalty.

On Optus he did

Wait until Monday he’ll be on Ref Watch defending his mates

[Mighty_Red]

Terrible start but we've grown into this. If there was some way of penalising Arsenal players for handling the ball then we'd be ahead.

Hope Tsimikas is ok, don't need another injury now.

All to play for here.

[RyanBabel19]

Yeah. Literally showed why he isn't a full back. Dropped deep, played Salah on, misjudged the ball's flight and let it bounce (have to head it away), and then lost the 1vs1.

Pretty sure Tomiyasu would have started this game for Arsenal if he were fit.

Thoughts on the handball?

[BarryCrocker]

Even Ian Wright calling it a peno.

[Knight]

Oh Salah that was absolutely outstanding.

[naYoRHa2b]

Need more from Gakpo and Diaz.

We need to be looking at that Napoli lad at this point.

[TepidT2O]

On Optus he did

He won’t be working Xmas day mate!

[Studgotelli]

We are able to sustain pressure cos Nunez isn’t on atm.

[kavah]

Ref on the international feed saying it’s defo a pen. Mad it wasnt given

[Mister Flip Flop]

VAR said ‘the player moved his arm towards his body’

He pulled the ball out of the air ffs

He actually did the complete opposite. They are desperate, absolutely desperate

[Andar]

Gakpo and Diaz are simply not bringing enough.

[RyanBabel19]

I'm just used to it now.

Endo stops a counter ‘its a yellow’
Havertz stops a counter ‘it’s not a yellow really is it, it’s two players battling for the ball’

[TALBERT]

Imagine having Sky commentary on for a match. Embarrassed for you mate 

I’ve not watched Sky for football for ages

As I can’t deal with the orgasms

Neville and Carragher

[RJH]

VAR said his hand was moving back towards his body.

Coote making it up.

Good process boys.

Have to remember that for the future.

Stretch your arms as wide as possible before the ball is played, then when you move to handball it your hand will be moving back towards your body and it will be fine.

[duvva 💅]

Not sure how it looks on tv but the wind feels like it’s making things difficult

[RyanBabel19]

Oh Salah that was absolutely outstanding.

Beautiful finish

[Bullet500]

Thoughts on the handball?

I can see why it should be given (hand far away from the body) and why it shouldn't be (he is on the turn and using hand for balance).

Also thought Saka could have gone down in the box but he didn't.

[stockdam]

VAR said his hand was moving back towards his body.

His hand was moving towards the ball. They are just making shit up.

[cdav]

First ever slip where the player regains their balance straight away. Its a clear handball, Salah is round him into the box without him pulling the ball in
