They need to win that as well. With their 12 points to come off, they're bottom as it stands.

Yeah I mean they’ve appealed the deduction but doubt anything will come of that. I don’t know the rules that well mind, but has anyone ever successfully prevented a points deduction if they’ve gone into administration?

Referee has been atrocious but no more so than our defending, yet again, and our finishing. Only ourselves to blame.

I disagree. When you have two clear penalties one whicj would have resulted in a red card denied then you have to ask questions. Alisson was just clearly fouled and again...nothing.

But that's putting the onus on the officials rather than our players. We have 6 attackers and only two offer a goal threat, that's not even remotely good enough.

Should have had at least 1 pen and their goal was from a free-kick that wasn't but we only have ourselves to blame. We should have been 4 or 5 up before they scored.

Two clear penalties? I’ve watched the whole game and seen no mention of such?
The challenge on Robertson was a clear pen. The Burnley defender brushed the ball but doesn't dispossess him and then clears him out with his follow through.

That Robertson one was absolutely disgraceful. We have people looking at bloody replays...awful.
