You better be fucking good if you're going to hinder those two I'm certain I've said it before, but he just doesn't fit in this team anymore, either in terms of style or ability Yeah I disagreed with you before... but I agree now. I don’t think he fits in really.

Why make players guess when they have to dive or not, and just have VAR properly review? Might actually discouraging diving if they could... get it right consistently? The question there should be for players not to dive at all

I don't even think they have had a shot on target and over an hour has been played. The front three have all forgot how to do their jobs all at the same time. Brilliant isn’t it? I mean, it’s all well and good saying we have the ball and are controlling the game but it’s meaningless if we aren’t properly testing them, which we are not.

Let captains or managers send decisions to VAR. No need to dive if you think you've been fouled, just tell the captain. Players know better than anyone what's happened on the pitch. Why not use that to make VAR more effective?
Administrator Stan Posted January 4, 2021 Author Administrator Posted January 4, 2021 Southampton do very well to get a lot of players behind the ball when needed and block any attempts towards goal. Don't think Liverpool have had a shot on target yet.

I think step one with fixing the officiating and VAR is sacking Mike Riley. Idk how one of the most shit refs ever is now king of the referees.

But what Mane did is take another step and then fall. So he dived. Arms sprawling and everything. Regarding last week, not even Mane or other players even appealed for a penalty. That wasn't dependant on him falling over or not.
LFCMadLad Posted January 4, 2021 Posted January 4, 2021 We just don't look like scoring at all. Desperately need a CB. Anyone wonna borrow a rope
Rick Posted January 4, 2021 Posted January 4, 2021 Trent off for Milner? Wtf is that about? How has Walcott not got a yellow for that?

Burning Gold Posted January 4, 2021 Posted January 4, 2021 Nothing we do makes me more frustrated than crossing from the edge of the six yard box like Robertson did there. Just shoot ffs. Anything can happen from that close and you give defenders that much further to go to block it

Yeah I’ve seen penalties given for the other dye and fall, this season, with VAR. So VAR had rewarded diving before... and I’m sure it will do it again. I think last week he 100% gets a penalty if he falls down.
Administrator Stan Posted January 4, 2021 Author Administrator Posted January 4, 2021 How was that not a free kick on Milner?!
LFCMadLad Posted January 4, 2021 Posted January 4, 2021 2 minutes ago, Rick said: Trent off for Milner? Wtf is that about? Just said on sky that Trent gave the ball away 38 times, which is a new record.
LFCMike Posted January 4, 2021 Posted January 4, 2021 That's gotta be the clearest foul all night on Milner there
Rick Posted January 4, 2021 Posted January 4, 2021 I’m fucking fed up of this. Looking devoid of any ideas. Agree with @Burning Gold why we aren’t taking more shots on rather than trying to walk it in the net is beyond me.
UNORTHODOX Posted January 4, 2021 Posted January 4, 2021 Are we going through a mini crisis? I hate to be that guy but we’ve struggled again tonight. Need a center back asap.
Dr. Gonzo Posted January 4, 2021 Posted January 4, 2021 After several dogshit performances in a row we really need to change things up because we’ve looked abysmal.

Rick Posted January 4, 2021 Posted January 4, 2021 I’m also not having anybody burying their heads in the sand over this centre back situation anymore. It’s clear as day that we are desperate for one, having to take Henderson out of the midfield now to deputise? Fuck that, get and centre back in and let’s stop pissing about. None of us who want one are calling for a makeshift signing either, if we have to spend some money then so be it.
Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted January 4, 2021 Subscriber Posted January 4, 2021 Since when did refs stop giving penalties to Mane and Salah for throwing themselves to the ground following minimal contact?
Rick Posted January 4, 2021 Posted January 4, 2021 Just now, LFCMadLad said: Jones and Minamino can't play RB Saints are hardly piling on us are they? I think we can figure out a way around that. Or just don’t take Trent off? Milner is hardly going to do any better going forward even if Trent has given the ball away plenty.
Lucas Posted January 4, 2021 Posted January 4, 2021 This is obviously a Liverpool biased thread but that young lad Diallo has had a brilliant game for Saints. What a game to come to come on in early and perform, surprised he's still running!
