Lucas 3,828 Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Salah's penalty taking is top drawer. But I fucking hate that camera angle they use for pens. Get in the bin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So typically him. Awful from Dias They need all the help they can get, their title challenge is floundering.... If you listen to what Klopp is saying he probably fell over due to exhaustion...

Does Salah exaggerate? Absolutely. But if he stays on his feet, is that foul given against Dias? Absolutely not. If he stays on his feet he could go on and score or have a shot. Shame these days that a player's first instinct is to go down and get a penalty/player booked/sent off as opposed to go on through to goal. (aware its not just Salah that does this. Most players across the league, sadly). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LFCMike 3,012 Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 I mean, I think they get given most of the time these days. Soft but I'm taking it.

Subscriber Dan+ 1,918 Posted February 7, 2021 Subscriber Share Posted February 7, 2021 I just cannot fathom how that's a penalty. It is such an obvious dive. They have the technology yet they've managed to manifest a culture where they actually watch the diving and make a case for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way, everybody does it nowadays. I don’t see why there’s a constant uproar against Salah as if he is the only one who makes a meal of fouls.

But if he stays on his feet, is that foul given against Dias? Absolutely not. Mm. Don't think he was getting there in time, but fine. The bar for punishing professional fouls, kicking the ball away, etc. is ridiculously high. If the authorities want more entertainment and fewer injuries, it's an incredibly low-hanging fruit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The indignation here is hilarious though. If it was Kane or Vardy commentators might talk about it more than this one... but they’d be calling it clever and justifying it which is arguably worse.

Inverted 1,776 Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 I think the thing is, is that Salah is just that bad at diving that he makes objectively justified pens look like outrages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I literally said other players in the league do it Maybe it says a lot about Salah if he keeps getting talked about doing things like this?! Kane and Vardy get a shit load of stick. It's only the berks like Hoddle on BT Sport who use the fact they're English to not criticise them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
