He would have at the very least scissor locked, taken down Henderson, much like Pickford did VVD.

I missed the game yesterday.
Looking at the incidents now, I would expect to see VAR rule first goal out.
The player gets nowhere near the ball, makes no contact with it, and clearly impedes the keeper. No goal these days.
And the tackle on Hendo is studs up, off the ground and out of control.
Red card all day long.
We might have still lost, but, the first goal is crucial in an away game, and playing with 10 would have been a challenge for the WHU.
I actually think City suffer from this sort of roughhousing away from home so it is something we will need to adapt to.Last edited by Buzzo; 08-11-21, 01:04 PM.Modifying post.Comment

Someone raised the point yesterday that after the first goal you'd have thought Klopp, Henderson, Alisson would have changed things up at corners.
Don't leave it up to Alisson to move the defender out the road. VVD or Matip should have been in on top of the defender for any further corners.
Poor game management from usComment

Time to use Nat. He'll head any corner balls, even if the opponents body is in the way, and launch them both.Comment

One of my friends text me to say Nat should have started yesterday.Originally posted by vlahka View PostComment

Our goalie is going to have players standing all over him on corners now.

And Reina getting pulled up for that handling the ball outside the box as the release the kick late. I'm convinced it happens 10 times a game but never penalisedFootball without Origi is nothingComment

It wasn't behind him at all, he's running directly onto it. It was a ****ing sitter.Originally posted by BG1973 View Post
The **** Fabinho got on here the other week for a much much much harder chance and Mane's getting away with this without any mention of how crap he is at finishing guilt edge chances.

Yes it was, he's set himself up to head it but the ball ends up being knee high when he makes contact. Meaning it dipped lower than he anticipated, didn't come through as far as expected, meaning he's having to make lots of adjustment.Comment

Thats on him for poor judgement then isn't it. There was nothing odd about the cross, it was a perfect ball in and there's no excuses with not at the very least putting that on target"When a man insults my country I insult him, by taking his woman" Tony Yeboah

Take every other player off the pitch and its a simple chance, he side foots it in. But it comes over lots of players with a lot of spin, and he ends up heading it from knee high
not a straight forward chance imo. And certainly not worthy of abuse.Comment
