Wymsey Posted 11 January 2020 Share Posted 11 January 2020 (edited) Don't think today showed Liverpool at their best. Were often sloppy; and their defence was quite panicky at times, even with Van Dijk on. Edited 11 January 2020 by Wymsey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Endangering an opponent surely, so doesn't matter if he gets the ball. Theres been numerous red cards where a players won the ball but put the opposition player in danger of injury. Plus its irrelevant if it is or isn't, there was apparently no check anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twister Posted 11 January 2020 Share Posted 11 January 2020 Something does not sit right about football at the moment, I was talking to a friend like me who has competed and grown up in sport and he agreed. Yes all sport is on the dark side to some extent but now it seems unbelivable. the ability of teams to press to the extent that they can almost suffocate opposition seems abnormal, but its more the insane running players do now, to see some players barley sweating after running 11-12 km in a game is unbelivable. I am convinced that a lance armstrong type scandal will come out in the game, I have played and watched the game 30 years and the levels of fitness now of some players is almost beyond the norm for even a super fit footballer.. I am quite good at these things predicted marion jones, chambers etc would be caught well before they were, you can sometimes smell the smoke if you no the sport enougth. weather the sport will let that happen is another thing, it might break it if they did.

I think the endless diving in football is killing it for me. In today's game there are so many free kicks it's getting tedious. Players really do go down at the slightest touch and it's ruining it for me. Take today's game at the KP, not a single bad tackle in the game and yet about 500 free kicks. The fact cheating is now considered normal and the fact players are often criticised for not cheating shows how used to it we've become. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The amount of players having a sit down making out they are injured and then jumping up as soon as their team regains possession has got so much worse this season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tuna Posted 12 January 2020 Share Posted 12 January 2020 We should just stop referring to it as diving or simulation. Call it what it is - cheating, and an instant 3 game ban as punishment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you think it's bad here you should watch Portuguese football, it's become totally unwatchable thanks to the diving (cheating).

He doesn’t hit him with the studs, he kind of hits him with the outside of his foot. The fact tanganga got up quickly helped him. The Aubameyang challenge was way worse and even that wasn’t huge initially Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because the Aubameyang challenge was worse doesn't make the Robertson challenge not worthy of a red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The play continued for a good minute and they were both on the floor. Oh and the point still stands that it wasn't even looked at by VAR, let alone reviewed and decided it was fine, it just wasn't reviewed at all.

Nick Posted 12 January 2020 Share Posted 12 January 2020 (edited) Has anybody read any of the Leicester forums this morning. They lost their second home match of the season yesterday and their stupid fans are turning on the players and themselves! Hilarious reading! Half their players are knackered and they have Ndidi out and still they expect to win every single game like entitled children. Joke of a fan base.
