Liverpool v Wolves match thread

[labourRed]

Going to be an unpopular opinion but fab deserves the yellow. That angle doesn’t show fab’s motion going into it at all. He saw the guy coming, positioned himself and landed exactly what he intended to land.

If that was the case, wouldn't it have been a red - dangerous foul play?

Warnock is being a right cunt on commentary- did LFCTV not renew his contract?

Yes he was an absolute cnt

If it wasn’t for the speed of the tackle by the wolves player, I think it could have been, yes.

You can make arguments about him defending himself from a rash challenge etc, but knowing they player, that’s not accidental contact.

I don’t where Fabinho is supposed to go? Lemina flies in studs up and misses the ball. Fab does nothing more than ride the contact.

Fab gets booked by virtue of Lemina coming off worse (or at least making it appear so) from his own foul.

Whoosh?

[Kenneth]

Not a whoosh, an acknowledgment that we’re pretending Fabinho just had no other choice.

[Mark79]

I’m not pretending anything.

Lemina makes the foul.

[Shaggy]

Tierney is a cunt, that's a fact.

For me, Fabinho isn't trying to injure, he's tried to drag the ball away and Lemina has caught him (and come off worse). Although he didn't have a HD slow mo.

But that's not how the ref saw it and for me, he should have sent him off. I think the yellow was a bit of a bottle job.

[wiw]

Anyone notice Fabinho dropping between the CB's to build attacks? Not seen him do that in ages

[Pablo]

Lemina should have been booked, not Fabino.

Nunez's goal should have stood, Jota was shoved in the back and it actually could have been a penalty IMO.

Agree.
It should have been Lemina who was booked, sliding in out of cntrol with studs up...
What was Fabinho supposed to do, just gloat in the ****ing air... gravity insists he must put a foot down and unfortunately Lemina has slid right through and under Fabinho.
Manc cunt ref

That’s exactly what I thought he was doing too. Not sure what the move is called but yeah you basically do a 360 while dragging the ball around with you.

It was a strange one. I don’t think it was a push as such, and not a penalty, but it was definitively the defender that sent Jota moving towards the other defender. But, it’s all about the movement of Jota’s left leg. Instinctively, he moved his foot towards the ball which ‘fouled’ the defender and it made the space for the shot. How much responsibility lies with the defender and how much Jota is almost indeterminable, so to go against the initial decision of no foul doesn’t seem right at all.
