''Jurgen Klopp's side peppered the United goal with 19 shots but a combination of outstanding goalkeeping by Spain keeper De Gea and the home team's poor finishing denied them a decisive moment.''

Ouch.

So you've gone from Gypsy Rosie Lee type predictions to quoting the BBLFC now?

Good work

Who the hell is Gypsy Rosie Lee?

Right so she was a strip tease act, I'm even more confused now than I was before I knew who she was.

Also is it ridiculous to suggest if Kane hadn't dived for the first penalty, he may have hit the second poorly down the middle as he did the first?

There'sOnlyOneReds (U1721)

He was offside by about an inch.

Technically you're correct but to say that it gave him some sort of huge advantage is laughable.

It's a matter of opinion as to whether it was a pen.

Clearly he went down easy, but it doesn't necessarily mean it wasn't a pen.

Of course it gave him a huge advantage. He was able to come from behind the defender and win a penalty which got his team a goal. How much more of an advantage would you call a huge advantage?

Also I doubt he has a one inch foot. His whole foot was offside.

There'sOnlyOneReds (U1721)

It's possible to come from behind a defender as he did and not be offside.

Yes but that's not what happened.

In answer to the OP. Spurs

There'sOnlyOneReds (U1721)

It very nearly happened.

The fact he came from behind is largely irrelevant, so the point you're making is nonsense.

Out of interest, Liverpool fans, would you regard Salah's penalty against West Brom as a dive?

Nearly onside is still offside though.

So it's irrelevant he came from an offside position which blindsighted the defender who was in the process of swinging his leg to the ball and the attacker 'cleverly shifted his body back into the defender to initiate' contact' and dive for a penalty which results in a goal in the dying seconds to draw the game? Riiight.

He went down easily sure but at least there was contact. And it was still given after a VAR review.

Firmino's Brightest Tooth (U1217)

Didn't say it wasn't.

There'sOnlyOneReds (U1721)

You are making out that VVD committed the foul because Lamela was offside.

That's nonsense - because he quite easily could have committed that foul if Lamela's foot was an inch or two to the right.

Of course, he was pulled back whilst going for the ball, potentially from a goalscoring position, reviewed by VAR. I'm not sure why you have chosen to compare it. He also wasn't offside.
