Manchester Utd vs Liverpool - Premier League (19/20 - Game 9)

Wow, can't believe how one sided Atkinson was there.

Could see it coming as soon as the slimy toad was announced

New handball rule for 2019 explained from the premier league offical website :

Deflections
Premier League players will be allowed extra leeway when it comes to ricocheted handballs.

It is often impossible to avoid contact with the ball if it has deflected off the body of an opponent, team-mate, or even another part of the own player.

So a handball will not be awarded if the ball touches a player’s hand/arm directly from their own head/body/foot or the head/body/foot of another player who is close/nearby.

Great reaction from Atkinson there for Mane's.....as the ball is just crossing the line, he's already indicating to the ManU players that he's checking the VAR.

Never in doubt that was getting disallowed.

[baitman]

You know we're doing crap when everyone is complaining about the ref. Both decisions seemed pretty reasonable in reality. The big issue is that we are playing badly and getting too exposed through Gini and Hendo when we lose it.

The weight of their passing is ****e, selling the next player short almost all the time.
Means the receiving player has to stretch or foul to get the ball, our play then becomes disjointed and lacks fluidity.

I think Robbo/Mane is such a profitable outlet for us that I always struggle to see why we would ever change it.

45 to go. Can only get better.

[Slinky Skills]

We'll be better second half, we have to be. C'mon Redmen let's show these cunts how good we are! Up the Reds!

[Buzzo]

Also.

1 min of added time after 2 VAR checks?

[BobTheCharmer]

Why not origi on the right? Mane on the left?

[Jas]

We look as though we have forgotten how to bloody play football.

[Ams12]

Not been at our most coherent so far to say the least! Origi’s touch has been like Lukaku’s and some very short passes giving away possession! Missing Salah as an outlet too i think. Hopefully Klopp gives a bolocking half time and we’re much improved, composed & direct second half! Need to attack them wave after wave!

Ref has already decided we aren't winning this.

[ChesterDave]

The man who screwed us out of the title last season v Leicester, let Spurs score from a rolling free kick at Anfield, gave City a pen at Anfield when Fernandinho fouled in the build up is ****ing us again. The manager needs to say something.

Don't forget he was the man spending 90 minutes tapping at his watch and only then booked a Chelsea player for time wasting

c'mon

This whining is OTT. They scored a good counter attacking goal and we're losing, and it's difficult to argue that we deserve anything else at half time. If mane hadn't handled it we would be level, whoever is officiating. Our team is to blame for that half, and they need to fix it in the second.
