Oh what a frustrating result. I’ve not quite calmed down yet but I’m in a better place to post.
Firstly you’ve got to put the game in context. We’ve just been narrowly beaten by the best team in the Courtney who haven’t lost at Anfield for a billion games or something like that. We gave them a game and should have come away with a point but for a moment of madness from Albrighton.
I thought Rodgers got his tactics right today. For much of the game we frustrated them and whilst they could and should have scored more, we just about held our own. Then Maddison pulls that out of the bag and we’re about to come away from Anfield with a brilliant point.
The rest I’ll leave.
Praet continues to impress me. He did a very good box to box job today. He helped us move forward and provided good cover when we didn’t have the ball. I like him.
I guess it’s a good thing we’re all so frustrated we’ve not come away from Anfield with a point. Doesn’t make it feel any better now though 😖

sorry but at 1-1 in the 90 odd minute, if that penalty was up the other end there is no way it would have been given.

Aint that the truth.
I thought Leicester were robbed of a deserved point, no way was grazing Mane`s ankle enough to impede him or send him flying towards the ground. Unfortunately though, most referees can`t wait to drag the Mousers along, but Brenda will already know that.

Whine moan... it was a penalty, and verified by VAR. Just accept it.
Perhaps the focus should be on Hamza. How that thuggish action on Salah was not a straight red is unbelievable.

TV showed both were wrong
Mane dived and was an Olympic gold performance,,
Salah tripped over his thigh but the intent of the tackle was a foul

Absolutely no way that was a penalty, just about everyone who is not connected with Liverpool says no pen all the pundits everyone, and yet the VAR official cant see what everyone else can using the same VT that's what make VAR a joke.

I’m in the camp that it was a dive and a penalty. That contact in no way on earth would have made Mane fall to the floor in the way he did, but there was contact and as soon as you do that you allow the ref to make a decision.

Completely agree, very harsh but technically he touched him and with the roll, tuck and scream from mane the Ref had no choice.
Thought Rodgers was right, if he hadn't of given it, would have been a talking point but no more.
I doubt we'd have got it at the other end and if it was Vardy he'd probably have got a card for it, fine lines of playing the top teams.
