Topic: Liverpool 1 v Everton 1 (Salah 42’)

[RobbieRedman]

Calvert Lewin knows how to win a foul, about all he can do

[RyanBabel19]

Not blaming Lovren one bit, he literally touched him

Not buying all this 'when you give the referee a decision to make' bullshit. The sheer irony of them basically admitting he dived but then going on to condone it by slating Lovren

Pathetic refereeing

[TepidT2O]

Lovren went mental at the ref at the end...

If ever you want to know whether it was a penalty or not, there’s your evidence... players know,.

[El Lobo]

A referee very, very keen to give a penalty.

A striker (if that’s what he is) very keen to dive

A defender (if that’s what he is) seemingly very keen to not even do the basics of defending

Penalty 

Ahhh well. Every game and every goal he costs us is hopefully leading to a decision which should have been made at least a year ago. Still 4th.

[Gerry Attrick]

So fucking frustrating. We just coasted after taking the lead and never really went full throttle to kill them off. Klopp's substitutions again leave something to be desired. Taking Salah off when we were only 1-0 up is baffling, but bringing on Firmino at that time was even more so. Should've brought Coutinho on who is actually really good out wide. Only saw the other subs when were chasing the win again.

[TheShanklyGates]

FTFY.

The ref is a none issue if we take our chances. Game should have been put to bed long before the penalty.

[moloch]

An early christmas gift for Everton by the referee.

[SlowRap]

Gomez, Salah, Ox were brilliant everyone else meh

[sikingthegreat1]

Mane should have squared it.

Never a pen.

Henderson needs replacing.

same conclusions
it's so damn frustrating

[Skidder.]

Crappy pen to give away. That's it really.

[Zlen]

Not a pen but Lovren made it a decision for the ref when there was no need to touch him.

No, he didn't make anything.
Football is a contact fucking sport and that's not a foul in chess, let alone in football.
Pawson is a bent little bitch.

[sms1986]

Deserved a win, but soft penalties get given and now Everton can celebrate a famous win draw with pints of wine all round.

Obviously this thread will be full of the people you never see in FT threads when we win, hopefully the mods don't have to put up with too much bullshit.

[sminp]

Don't put both fucking hands on a player's back fo fucks sake! Always fucking Lovren

[LiverBirdKop]

Oh well. Not sure about our starting lineup, but then again we made it hard on ourselves. We looked a little too complacent at times. The penalty was rubbish and so was Mane's decision making. Fuck

[Sir Psycho Sexy]

can't believe we ony scored once. Mane should get a bollocking. While it wasn't a pen, Lovren should be smarter. there's no reason to be making contact there. he beats him for physicality and all he has to do is stay goalside and keep him facing away from the goal. can't believe we dropped 2 there

[KevLFC]

Hatchet job from the ref. Fuckin' shocking decision.

He clearly pushed him. Lovrens fault and Klopps for making stupid subs

[Klopp Your Hands]

 

Fuck!

[Ravishing Rick Dude]

We played brilliantly, and we did absolutely no wrong. I usually don't moan about the referees, but this one was 100% on the referee.

[rawcusk8]

We really ought to have killed that game off only ourselves to blame. Sky stopped short of calling it a dive, said he played for it which is putting it politely.

[kennedy81]

Not a pen but Lovren made it a decision for the ref when there was no need to touch him.

The player ran into him and bounced off him. Lovren never touched him. He did absolutely nothing wrong there.

[rowan_d]

Most stupid points anyone will drop this season. Everton were beyond shit, and our players took it for granted that we'd beat them. Wouldn't be averse to dropping Mane and Lovren for those moments of selfishness and idiocy. Cost us 2 points.

[buttersstotch]

We got too complacent - I think we just expected to score 3-4 goals after the 1st went on, but we did little wrong today - that is barely a penalty.

After their goal we just lost our heads a little bit. Terribly frustrating as they are absolutely shite, but these things happen I guess.

[Funky_Gibbons]

The ref was itching to give that penalty, couldn’t fucking wait.

But we should have been 2-0 up at half time, Mane has fucked us there.

[didi shamone]

Definite penalty for me. Two points dropped. Ah well...

[Scottymuser]

so disappointed.  Mane 100% at fault for us not being 2 up, did the grand total of nothing (again) as he is still not 100% fit, but our best player in Salah gets taken off for Firmino, and waited far too long to take the utterly useless OX off for Couts and yet he still nearly produces a moment of genius. 

[Eliit]

Soft penalty against us second time in a week. Our forwards should've put it to bed before the incident though.

[tommy LFC]

Felt bad for Lovren at the end when he was trying to get to the referee. With everything he has been through he deserves to get answers on that call.

The poor lad's head will be gone.

[Ken Doral]

Imagine thinking Sam Allardyce deserves an ounce of credit for that

[Gnurglan]

1-1. It was our game. We should have had three points. It was one of the most one-sided games I have seen. They didn't even have a chance. They got that gift of a penalty and scored. That was it. Disappointing that we dropped two points, but the performance was good, let's remember that.

[Henry Gale]

You don't rest players in a derby!! Obviously klopp hasn't realised yet what this game means because you just don't do it.

Taking Salah off when it's only 1-0?

Shambles all round. Everton are terrible!! 2 points dropped.

[LovelyCushionedHeader]

Lovren had no choice but to make contact, Calvert Lewin ran into him!

Ridiculous, awful decision. Scandalous.

Any criticising Lovren in any way shape or form is fucking clueless.

[Dave D]

It's not Lovren's fault. We didn't take our chances, and when we're playing a shit team combined with a dodgy ref, we'll always get punished.

Everton fans celebrating like they've won the league. I'm sure the dvd will be out soon.

[Chakan]

Can anyone tell me why we took Salah off?

[sms1986]

Lovren went mental at the ref at the end...

If ever you want to know whether it was a penalty or not, there’s your evidence... players know,.

But he'll still get blamed for the Everton player diving.

[Caston]

A hand on your back doesn’t make you throw yourself to the floor like that.

Still it was stupid by Lovren but how many times have we said that?

[killer-heels]

Klopp has to take the blame. Huge opportunity missed on a weekend where our rivals dropped points. One of the worst Everton sides to come to Anfield has got a point. Allardyce, say what you will about him, has again got the better of Klopp. Because that’s essentially a win for them.

If you call that getting the better of someone then it really is a lottery.

[liverpool185]

If the same foul happens in Everton's box we'd all be screaming for a penalty

[Lastrador]

Liverpool players are the only players who are not allowed to make any contact with their opponents on the box.

[Dree]

No way he can be blamed for that.

Calvert-Lewis played for it and the ref bought it.  Shocking decision

It was a silly thing to do in such plain sight.

We are always going to drop points with this squad, we need to beat West Brom for this to not matter. It’s irritating but shouldn’t ruin our top 4 chances.

[Vote For Pedro]

Despicable c*nts. Don't often get really angry but I've really fucking hurt my hand punching a wall there. Cheat your way to a 1-1 draw. Celebration time. Fuck off Rooney, you granny shagging bald fat scut bastard.
