Should replay it imo.The Villa v Spirs game was hilarious the way Udogie was about to lamp McGinn for that bad challenge and then realised he should go down and roll over in agony to get him sent off.
The difference is that none of these two managers hold back for long when it comes to playing attacking football. Not always the case when top managers/teams come up against each other.Just a different level these games.
seemed more like he was angry about it before the pain hit him and he couldnt simply run over judging by his limp and fall but what do i knowThe Villa v Spirs game was hilarious the way Udogie was about to lamp McGinn for that bad challenge and then realised he should go down and roll over in agony to get him sent off.
Yeah, that was my take on it too. I think he seriously wanted to have a pop back but then realised he couldn't. Like when you stub your toe and there's that small gap before the pain kicks in.seemed more like he was angry about it before the pain hit him and he couldnt simply run over judging by his limp and fall but what do i know
I would go a long with that. Draw seemed fair because each side dominated a half. Your last point is why I wonder how Liverpool carry on in this form after Klopp, I think it is so intrinsically linked to him.He bottled a couple of big chances though.
Unfortunately I have to admit that this was a seriously impressive performance from Liverpool. On paper that lineup has no right to be outplaying City.
Agreed with most the thoughts on here about the game but slightly disagree here. We were all over the shop with our press in the first 10min, City were carving us up. Endo and Macca worked it out between them and I thought we were far the better side from mins 10-20, that Stones goal was definitely against the run of play and a sucker punch. Rest of the first half we were much the better side.Yeah, that was my take on it too. I think he seriously wanted to have a pop back but then realised he couldn't.

Agree with that, the Kovacic change definitely halted the Liverpool charge. And for all that Liverpool dominated the half, they could only score from a gift whilst City hit the woodwork twice.Shout out to Pep for the subs he made just after our goal, especially taking KDB off. Kovacic took the sting out of the game and gave City back some control. Prior to that we were absolutely battering them. Fantastic game and a fitting end to the Klopp v Guardiola era.
I thought Mac Allister was kind of clever in that he realised Doku was waiting for it to come down before going to kick it. So he managed to get his chest in there without ever I think really trying to play the ball. I think it's one of those that falls into the category of always given outside the box, rarely in it.I thought the Liverpool pen shout was meh, you almost never get those without VAR. Unwritten rule that high boot doesn’t apply to defenders in their own box.
It’s not even especially dangerous or painful taking studs to the torso in that situation. People sort of assume that since shin or knee high studs are so dangerous, chest high studs must be REALLY dangerous, but they’re really not.
I agree with this. The issue is it gets particularly subjective when the player is stooping for a header or happens to be shorter than the guy trying to kick the ball.I thought the Liverpool pen shout was meh, you almost never get those without VAR.

The last two games have only emphasised this, but he is objectively such a significant upgrade on Ramsdale (who I also really like).I love David Raya now, I think
