How that pen wasn’t given I’ll never know, what’s the point in VAR when the people using it are incompetent?Is it just me or could Adrian have done better for their goal?
Absolutely.
David Platt has a face like a Michael Myers mask being stretched over a dinosaur egg.
Aquilani is better than Pele, Maradona, Cruyff, Messi and Beckenbauer put together.
You must be really incompetent at your job if you can't see Matip being pulled like that.Glad we kept our cool and scored those 2 goals before the break.
VAR in England is a fucking joke. It's completely useless when the FA are too fucking scared to question the referee's authority. What good is it for then? We've had a clear pen denied. Fuck that. Either you implement something and do it the right way or don't do it at all. Our first 25 or so minutes were very sluggish. Our passing was poor and our crossing even poorer. That clear pen that wasn't given was the kick in the bollocks we needed, and we should be winning this now. Firmino is absolute world class as well.
I very much agree. The bluster from Steve McManaman about how good a strike it supposedly was has taken away the attention on how slow to react Adrian was.
We need to sort out our back line a bit. Robertson was playing them onside for their goal. I'm not saying that he was a fault. It happened later and I think the linesman may have got it wrong.I don't like seeing our keepers going for the ball with the "wrong" hand. It was a good shot but Adrian should have been using his left hand.Super goal from Mane. He is some player.Second goal was Firmino's. He won the ball on the halfway line and then plays a great ball to Mane.Let's put 3 past them in the 2nd half.
In control. We need that third goal. Not because I think Newcastle will take charge of the game, but because I want more than a lucky bounce or set piece to separate the score. Lovely stuff from Mane for the first and Firmino for the second.
VAR might be here, but the same problems will persist when you get officials as shit as they are in this league. Absolute fucking jokers.Speaking of jokers, Macca fairly shut his chirpy gob up when we went in front. Went silent for about 10 minutes and his tone was a downer.
I've just been in to the BBC website to check the premier league table, and it states, Libpool Libpool top of the league Libpool Libpool top of the league.
It was clear and obvious though.
wonder what their reasoning was for not overturning the Matip foul? Aside from being useless twats. We started off slow which is understandable given the international break, delighted with our reaction.
Ha Ha Steve Bruce's face when Mane scored his second.
can I just point out that I hate early KO games
I'm telling you, Bowie died and it's all gone to fuck.
I'm glad Adrian isn't our number 1. Very poor goalkeeper.

VAR Covering Marriners considerably large arse And that pathetic excuse Walton covering for him as well saying it was a “subjective decision” and so not actionable by var.I would say, given the way some referees behave, 90% of their decisions are “subjective”.
Great response to their spawny goal. Always felt we were going to score at least 2 before HT.Ox having a stinker out there.
The weighted pass was beautiful, but Matip also battled for the ball, another good performance from him.
