If they let him back on the new concussion protocols are a joke, He could barely stay upright.
Edit- Wow, they let him back on.

Obviously I hope he can finish the game, but I really hope he was just down because he was split open, and not because of a possible concussion.
A similar injury happened to Koscielny a couple weeks back. He ended up being subbed off after giving up a goal, as he clearly wasn't all there. Hope Lovren isn't a repeat of that. Hate to see players back on the pitch after head injuries.
It's a difficult call, because obviously you can't play a man short for 15 minutes while the player gets checked. You pretty much need to decide immediately whether to sub the player off.
It is good to see the independent doctor involved, hopefully that means he's legitimately OK to continue.

Are we sure Sterling isn't really Italian?
Edit- Actually the entire Liverpool Squad is dive happy.

Liverpool is getting a lot more free kicks lately, wouldn't mind seeing Lambert on for the last 15 minutes.
Ugh, all 3 subs used. If he has to come off this is trouble
Edit- he's on but limping around badly.

Since he had been limping earlier, it may have not been the smartest thing for Big Sam to use his last sub with 15 minutes left.
So does it piss off Liverpool fans that a huge part of this game has been Stewart Downing badly outperforming Gerrard?
There is a long and annoying tradition of ex-Liverpool players having better games against us than they ever had for us.Cellar-Door said:

Not especially - the horror show defending on set pieces is still the primary culprit for having lost 3 of 5 to start the season. Having Allen, Sturridge, and Can hurt doesn't help either.
The team have the pieces (when Sturridge is healthy) to compete even with Gerrard effectively neutralized. Gerrard's already appearing tired, so it's up to Rodgers to figure out how Lucas, Allen, Henderson, and Can can fit into that role to help keep him fresh.
Fortunately, I'm going to Oktoberfest in SF tonight, so I can kill off the brain cells that will remember this.

Please no. Arsenal fans are miserable enough, that might make some of them suicidal.
Actually, on second thought...

This is why we need an Interstellar Ray Gun.
WTF? Is NBC really not showing an BPL games today, either on tv or live extra?
Does anyone have a good streaming alternative?
