Liverpool v Reading- Match Thread

Not always - if a foul is committed outside the area and the foul CONTINUES inside the area then its a pen. This would be the case for example with a shirt pull or a push. However in this case, although contact continued in the area the contact in the area was that of two players falling over - not a "continuation" of the foul. That means that even the "contact continuing in the area" argument doesn't hold here. Deffo not a pen.

My point is the initial foul took place outside the box and he fell inside. The foul itself didn't continue inside the area.

Momentum carried him forward. That's it.

Voronin, Crouch and Torres link well, Torres cross is deep and chested out for a corner.

Gerrard corner, over everyone and easy for the keeper.

A flick finds Crouch, great cross, Torres diving header but wide.

[Flake]

unlucky....

Torres has got balls, dipping for that header :repect:

[bigfooty]

Reading with a good spell, Pepe almost caught out, free-kick to Reading just inside our half.

Momo coming forward, tripped, free-kick and a chance to load up the box.

Can't believe the assistant referee didn't see that trip on Sissoko

[bigfooty]

Gerrard free-kick drops into the box, cleared, back in and Reading hack it out for a throw.

Momo charged into, wins a free-kick in a dangerous spot. Not a shooting position but great spot to cross it from.

[Zapater]

Hobbs really should've done better with that

[thesilverfoxlfc]

Why the hell does Momo always get the ball in advance positions these days he's the worst on the ball and always manages to lose it.

Has Rafa told him to play up further up the pitch cause if he has wrong decision he does his best work in front of the back 4.

[bigfooty]

Reading try to play it cute, Riise cross finds Hobbs free at the back post but he dives at it and goes wide. Shame, great chance to score on his debut.

[marcus50bucks]

One thing we know about Hobbs is that doesn't have a left foot.lol

[bigfooty]

Voronin with a great ball over the top, Torres onto it but takes a touch too many again and goes down under a Sonko challenge. Stays down.
