****.

Been living in fear of something like this since January 2018.

How that cunt Pickford is still on the pitch is beyond me. Not too worried about Virgil, probably just heavy jarring.

Looked like ligaments to me. Hope you're right. Still fuming about it

[Fosterbloke]

Adrian palms one over the bar, does not look at all comfortable with anything

No keeper is when presented with something approaching their cross bar.

Did you watch Pickford's attempt and Origi's goal?

[McDermotX]

Its an absolutely incredible decision

[Exiled_red]

Regarding the Pickford VVD incident, what are the rules here, surely as someone said that challenge is almost the definition of endangering an opponent and that has to trump the issue of whether VVD was onside or not. Otherwise when you know someone is offside you can try and break their legs and not be punished? It makes the decision to let offsides go rather than putting your flag up look really dangerous.

[Kenneth]

****ing ref didn't even review the incident. Utter joke.

[ChesterDave]

Pickford better be sanctioned for that retrospectively. Will be disgusting if he isn't facing a lengthy ban for that.

Surely they will have considered it in the VAR review?

[Norbs]

Nice little nudge on Adrian just before that goal.

[greenturnip]

Hope Virg is ok. I also expect Klopp to give an earful to the ref about that ‘challenge’.

[Exiled_red]

Give it a rest ffs. What keeper doesn't do exactly the same thing? You're taking the dodgy keeper narrative and running off with it into the distance. If that was Ali doing exactly what Adrian did that half, the keeping wouldn't even have been mentioned.

I'm not saying it was the wrong thing to do it wasn't I'm not criticising him for doing it. I was a simple thing to do and he looked panicked doing it, he just does not look comfortable at all.

[Fosterbloke]

Dermot Gallagher just said Pickford shouldn't be upset if he had been sent off but the process probably saved him.

Um isn't that what VAR's for?

[Fredo]

Got a feeling Virgil is gonna be out for a while. Must be some knee damage judging from the replays. Hope it’s just a bruise but could have ended horribly wrong this. Can’t believe Pickford wasn’t reprimanded.

[Fosterbloke]

I'm not saying it was the wrong thing to do it wasn't I'm not criticising him for doing it. I was a simple thing to do and he looked panicked doing it, he just does not look comfortable at all.

I think he did exactly the right thing and looked focused, not nervous.

[Rich]

Laughable from the officials. Clearest red card you’ll see all year.

[Tribute]

So Peter Walton thinks it’s a red but five people on the pitch or VAR room didn’t. Joke decision. Osman then actually said (smirking) that it changed the momentum in the game... ffs so they get away without a red and then equalise. Should be a red - I can’t see how anyone would think that doesn’t endanger the player...
