Chelsea won´t win at Anfield. At least it will be very very hard for them..
 
Skrtl punched the ball with his hand and no penalty.

anyways, Kompany ruined a perfect half for City with a fatal error and before that goal if Silva scored that quasi-open goal, it would have been even more heavy ..

imo, it wasn´t 100% deliberate, he didn´t even watched the ball, his head was in defensive position not to colide with other players.. i wouldn´t call it ball punch, he maybe punched Garcia more than the ball, all that while jumping..
 
Seems the Premier League is only winnable if you have the referee as your twelveth man... Credit to Liverpool, but they were massively helped by the referee once again.
 
yes this whole season they were very helped by the refferees, I didn't watch all their games but I remember at least 4 or 5 penalties from nothing.

you can´t make such statement wihtout proving what penalty´s it were...seriously we scored a lot of goals without penalty´s..and there were many not given when they should be...

saying we won it with help of refs is ridicilous, we have the best season in years with expectations for firth place in the beginning, nobody expected this team to perform the way it did.. we had Suarez on ban for 10 games and he managed to score most in PL with most assists as striker...

we bought more unknown players in Luis Alberto and Aspas, loaned Cissokho and Chelsea bench warmer Moses who barely played, we had Lucas injured many games, Enrique almost all season...our first 11 players who performed most are 19 year old Sterling and 20 year old Coutinho who play almost all the time and massively improved Henderson with surprise of the season Flanagan...

saying Liverpool were helped this season, is ridicilous as the team is where it is because they deserve it for the attacking play and self confidence.. we have the best manager in PL in Rodgers and can´t wait to be back in CL with proper buys in summer...

PIPA don't defend him, it was deliberate, and before that there was an other penalty when he pulled severly Kompany's shirt collar.

in fact, during all the years I watched him, he's even dirtier than Ramos and Pepe ..
 
I think the narrative was shaped this year and that momentum luck and hopefully just subconscious ref decisions have followed.

Suarez played with such an advantage. Any touch he dives - but when he doesn't get the pen, no ref is brave enough to book him. Maybe a lower profile player...but it creates an excellent game theory decision which has no downside to the dive.

You see the strength he showed in the build up to the first goal, and then the subsequent 80 minutes of balance issues...how do you play against that?
 
Other than the decisions, the howlers and the result, the thing that infuriated me the most was Martin Tyler. Liverpool came flying out, no doubt about that, but he got so carried away it was untrue. Midway through the 1st half when the game started to slow down a bit Liverpool literally made 2 passes on the halfway line, from the right into the centre, nothing special at all, and yet Tyler creamed his pants proclaiming "breath-taking by Liverpool!!"
We all just looked at each other like "WTF?" - even the one 'pool fan. I know it was a big occasion but come on.

Also, whilst I'm at it, I like Neville but he needs a new word other than "sensational", that's beginning to annoy me as well!

I have to deal with Ian Darke, whose favourite thing in life is a refereeing decision. Not a goal, or skill or any of that. He'll carp on about a borderline mistake by a referee for the entire 90 minutes. It could end 6-0 and he'll want to draw attention back to a wrongly awarded corner in the 5th minute. It's bizarre.

Anyway, it's clear the entirety of the punditocracy want LFC to win this year. Fair enough, for the league's popularity and international support a strong LFC is an excellent thing. But it is a little hard to bear, as a fan of another team. Especially when the support for LFC by 'neutrals' in punditry is only eclipsed by their sheer joy at what is happening to United.

I see, but I just wanted to point that out, as it makes Liverpool's and Chelsea's program equal in terms of home and away games.

Dunno how Darke was with the goals but Martin Tyler sounded absolutely gutted each time we scored, whereas he had multiple orgasms with each of Liverpool's
 
Yeah when Coutinho scored he sounded like it was the happiest day of his live. Media all want Liverpool to win, they're the media's darling. Notice how 90% of all pundits are all Scouse and incredibly biased on British television. Fowler couldn't construct a sentence on MOTD yesterday. Owen still loves Liverpool and Carragher, Redknapp and Souness are incredibly obvious.

wow, seriously...? i don´t even know where to start answering this..
 
sure it was a penalty ..
but Suarez also made a pointless dive, that's what deprived him from getting the pen.

sometimes the dive make it worse.
 
In the particular case a penalty can be given and you can clearly see why.

But I suppose Suarez can't fall without massively exaggerating it... Don't always blame the refs, he does this to himself.
