It's a penalty to Burnley at the very least.

Commentators just said the same.

Ref's losing control of this game, tackles flying in all over the place now.

BaZ87 · 27 Dec 2020 at 12:42

Who knows what is and isn't a clear and obvious error with VAR these days in regards to the penalty but the reason why VAR couldn't give the goal was because the ref blew before the ball went in the net.

That's possibly one of the worst decisions ever, the keeper runs full pelt into the back of Mee and apparently gets awarded a free kick...

Leeds lucky to get the win today. Burnley should've had a penalty and they were the better team in the second half.

Having said that, lol at Dyke and his MMA boys.

Andybtsn · 27 Dec 2020 at 13:52

That was a bit twitchy. Good result with makeshift cb pairing and against those big ********. Proper chuffed.

We've played waaay better a number of times and got spanked so I'll take that. It's like anything nowadays, you get away with a bad decision and just look back to a previous game when you equally got screwed over, swings and roundabouts

That really was a shocking decision.

What does it actually take to have refs that can see these days and a VAR system that will point out clear mistakes to the ref!? Imagine the instant and complete meltdown and subsequent rapid changes, if Premier League Rugby was filled with this lot officiating matches! Gobsmacking.

Anyone watching this game? It’s been abysmal

Pigeon_Killer · 27 Dec 2020 at 15:32

Full strength team for Liverpool today barring the two injured CBs. We should have too much for WBA but it'll be a tough game.

Still no Thiago on the bench and Keita apparently injured again

Edit: Keita injury's confirmed. Suffered 'an horrific paper cut' opening Christmas presents on Christmas day and is expected to be out for between 3 and 4 weeks with a severed finger.

McBain · 27 Dec 2020 at 15:42

Forget hand ball how about the fact he’s almost taking the defenders shirt off, wtf sort of a decision is that.

Lyle44 · 27 Dec 2020 at 15:43

Wow! A reviewed hand ball decision that hasn't been overturned with var, need a sit down drink after that.

Pigeon_Killer · 27 Dec 2020 at 15:43

That came off his knee and rebounded upwards before down. That must've hit his arm but it wasn't clear.

Bin Keita off now. "Fitness issue" apparently.

Agree. I'd take the 40+ million hit and ship him out as soon as the window opens.

BaZ87 · 27 Dec 2020 at 15:46

Correct call, you can't say for certain that hit his arm.

As for Keita, I'm hoping it's just a precautionary type of thing. The other week he played then was left out the weekend game and then back midweek. Like Matip he can't play twice a week so hopefully (maybe) he's just being wrapped up with the game on Wednesday in mind.

If you close your eyes, Zamora sounds like Lampard.

I have the tv on in the background and just thought to myself, why is Franck Lampard in the studio!

Mark1989 · 27 Dec 2020 at 16:27

would have liked minamino to start again today but not to be

Pigeon_Killer · 27 Dec 2020 at 16:28

Great analysis by Redknapp. Firmino's poor form was down to Jota coming in to the team but now he's injured, Firmino is on fire again.

Pretty sure people were complaining about Firmino's form long before Jota came in, no?
