Not really fair comment because there were more questionable incidents in a quite intense match... How about the handball by Mo Salah leading up to their second goal, or the shove on Dele Ali in the box... and of course there were others, but that doesn’t mean players should be called out if referees have made mistakes!

Despicable is probably a fair description of Klopp’s behavior in the match, in my opinion.

Robertson goal wasn’t a direct result of Salah’s accidental hand ball and therefor was allowed to stand as per the rules of the game. 

Dele Ali dived! Your could see his reaction when he got up. Never a push.

Kane is a dirty player and continually tries to injure players. How many times has he looked at a player and then backed into him causing that player to fall awkwardly. Yet never gets pulled up for it. One of these days, he’ll be the cause of a player breaking his neck!
 

As far as your comment about Klopp, I’m not going to even dignify your statement with a response!

I respect that our opinions differ.

The point I was making about there having been many other incidents, is that in hindsight we can always pick the perfect scene!

Were you aware of the accidental handball rule with the Salah incident at the time of the incident? Because even the studio analysts in both Sky and BBC commentary were divided. In the end the it was the correct call. Some days those are given.

Regarding the Dele Alli incident - I’ve watched and been involved in football for long enough to know that penalties have been awarded for diving!

Kane’s challenge on Robertson was late and dangerous, for which he received a yellow card. Now, had that challenge been made after numerous other infringements, and around the 76th minute in the game then of course it gives the ref no option but to issue red! However, being as early in the game probably worked in Kane’s favour... Doesn’t equal a dirty player!

And you know how I feel about Klopp...

Ultimately, Liverpool failed to pick up the three points because they scored two great goals, while conceding the same!

Merry Christmas all. 
 

Leicester are 18:1 later. Probably for a reason but I could not resist a fiver at those odds. Just need em to score first then I cash in at least 40.

If Saints can pull this off and win against Hammers, then it’s a good tenner to lose...

Tell you what I was on edge of seat. Not televised here so was following on Internet….

early days but that win with its motivational boost will be the game that turns our season and ensures survival for another season.

I’ve just watched highlights of the Liverpool v Leicester game of a few days ago, and I’m surprised at how little has been made of Tyler Morton’s challenge on Perriera that only got him a yellow card....

Spurs also got themselves in a nice position..we will have to put a stop to that

Ugly game and we were lucky…happens

Good first half for arsenal….my small wager on a draw. Let’s see.

Cashed in my fiver for a tenner at 83 minutes. Put a fiver on city win at 2:1. 
 

sometimes Lady Luck smiles 

arsenal were a good side today. Gabriel is an idiot. No place for idiots in premiership 

 

edit: then I took 8 quid of my winnings and took a trifecta of spurs, Rotherham and West Ham to win at 7:1

 

spurs made me think I had lost 8 til the 96 minutes and West Ham are now 3 up. So if stays I am up 70 odd today. Not a bad day at all. Happy new year from William hill

Spurs really need to learn how to break down doggedly defensive teams.
