Always feel for defenders in those situations. Yes he should do better but it’s so hard to cleanly strike a bouncing ball and you get away with slicing that 99% of the time
If Liverpool has a corner, Faes should just leave the box. A perfect own goal hat trick is too cruel to even imagine.
I was looking at this guy for my FPL side. This would have been the merciful nail in my coffin to stop me from caring anymore.
Liverpool forwards couldn’t successfully kick the ball over the goal line without opposition right now.
Ivan Toney carted off in the last minutes of the Brentford game. Some kind of knee injury when he landed from a header. No obvious contact on replays. In lots of pain when they treated him.
Liverpool is testing the limits of the acceptable number of top knots or pony tails on the pitch at one time.
Thought Leeds had this comfortably covered last year but a new barber is needed at Anfield.
I can’t believe he was still playing. The gambling accusations are very serious. I’d have figured at least a suspension stayed pending a preliminary hearing, or something.
Not saying he should have been hurt obviously in case that’s not clear.
saw some highlights on Sky News. Darwin didn't pass to a Mo Salah with space on that late counter. He chose to keep it and skyed it above the cross bar
So, what’s up with Rashford not playing? The announcers indicated “disciplinary reasons” … what did he do?
Nobody knows.

The announcers are certainly terribly curious though, aren’t they?
I hope it's just late for team bus or something of that nature.
Rather that than showed up for training still half pished from the night before.
What I don’t understand is how the wolves hand ball in the first half wasn’t called in their own box but that one was.
I didn’t see the Wolves handball, but isn’t there a different standard for a goal scored off a handball than for other handballs? Per the FA website:
over in the Catalan derby, Jordi Alba just received two yellows in like 5 minutes for arguing with the ref. 1-1 at 79' now.
Lizard Flare, so they are advertising a product with supply chain issues, hoping that ppl won't call in to buy? ok
I was in the car yesterday listening to the matches, and noted the left turns that the TalkSport commentaries often take. During Liverpool-Leicester, the pbp questioned whether one should aspire to be an Egyptian king or Egyptian God. The theological inquiries of their commentaries are intriguing.
Even more controversially, one of those reds, a straight red for Cabrera, was taken away after review. It was a definite yellow though, and would have been his second (thus being a red anyways), but the full red apparently can’t be downgraded to a yellow. So Cabrera stayed on.
