Rashford penalty is identical to Vardys yellow card!! How the fook?

Robertson and Henderson have the 2 most punchable faces I've ever seen.

Not identical, Vardy's was even clearer.

The amount of penalties not giving against Liverpool is a joke, and mane gets one every time

That Vigil Van Dyke one is a ****ing abysmal officiating.

 

It is, no doubt in my mind, not given because its VVD tackling. 

[foxes_rule1978]

Rashford isn’t a penalty... but it being Man U it must be, just as mane when he falls over too

Let's see what the 'neutral' MotD lads have to say. Coming up next......

[foxile5]

Not sure how that isn't given. Didn't really get a good look at the game but that's a clear penalty.

It is that shocking; that it totally renders var useless... they can’t use it right 

[Carl the Llama]

If Barnes can add finishing to his game he'll be a phenomenal player.

[Steve_Guppy_Left_Foot]

They're both soft pens so think we were lucky to get one.

Just saw a post on the Everton forum with a tweet saying Silva had been sacked.

 

The poster asked: is this a proper ITK?

 

The tweet was from Indy Kalia

No penalty was a penalty, penalty wasn't. I'm fkin confused, if only we had a video replay system in place we could avoid all this shit.

[Phube]

The Cann table really shows up how far ahead we are from 5th!

Bournemouth fans have started a #HoweOut thread on their forum.

Mane is a ridiculously good player, some exquisite stuff in that game. 

 

But; Liverpool aren't half a dirty team at times. Just watched Robertson fall elbow/forearm first onto Davies when on the floor. Trent with a purposeful stamp. Vvd has taken out Calvert-Lewin in the box and it's not even a foul.

 

They're lucky with the officials, but still a bloody good team.

[StanSP]

You can guarantee if that happens to their players as well their fans will be asking for bans. 

[Corky]

How was that push in the Southampton game not a foul? Some blatant penalties not given last night.

[UniFox21]

Wolves having played 4 games more than Liverpool, yet Nuno nor the fans are complaining of their schedule, unlike Klopp. Wolves going quietly about their business 

[jmono84]

Liverpool very fortunate not to have 2-3 players sent off... not only the stamp Trent did but the nasty late tackle when on a yellow, still no second yellow??!! VVD taking out a player through on goal and Everton get nothing for it! Robertson should get retrospective action for that elbow drop of back of Davies neck but then again it’s a Liverpool so it’ll probably be forgotten about.

 

whilst Vards get a yellow for diving and VAR sticks with the refs decision 😂😂

 

It’s all going for them at the min but we’re chipping away which is all we can do!

Only six points behind Chelsea and after next week have a couple of months away from European football. I wouldn't rule out a top four chase for them.

They're well in with a chance of competing for a top 6, or even a top 4. Similar to us, both in with a good shout of european football next year. Hope we both do, would really shake up the "big 6" if two were to miss out

[The Bear]

Can't see a top 4 push myself. We don't score enough goals. 

 

Nuno certainly has complained about our Christmas schedule though. We play Man City at home on 27th due to Amazon moving it back 24hrs from the Boxing Day schedule. But then we also have to go to Anfield on the 29th, meaning we have 45 hours between two incredibly tough games, which is just ridiculous. Nuno has said that we are now playing in more competitions than most yet we're the only ones hard done by in that set of fixtures. He's asked to meet with the FA about it too.

The crazy thing is how is there not a PL stipulated rule about a minimum number of hours between two kickoffs? Surely it should be 72 hours - 48 at the absolute bare minimum!? 

[The Horse's Mouth]

I think the top 4 is pretty much locked in * touch wood* the usual suspects are in disarray, only spurs will be a danger but it depends if they do much business in Jan because they need to
