Greenlizard0 PL & Championship Football Thread ** spoilers ** [26th Feb - 4th March 2021]

We keep this up for rest of season which sadly appears likely we won't make top 6 let alone top 4

 

[Tombstone]

Two takes from the first half, Mane needs to start going down when he's fouled in the penalty area and we can't defend a long ball to save our lives.

A third take of mine, is Firmino playing today?

Glad it's not just me who noticed he wasn't there, I said to a mate take him off and put Jota on for second half

 

[SS-89]

https://www.thefa.com/football-rule...d arms of,the goalkeepers, are not considered.

• The hands and arms of all players, including the goalkeepers, are not considered.

So again I'm baffled by that decision

 

[Rotty]

Just use the front of the leading foot, loads simpler

 

[BaZ87]

@SS-89 have you not watched any football this season? In the summer they moved the point at which they measure handballs from the shoulder to the shirt sleeve and as such that's where they measure offsides from.

Glad it's not just me who noticed he wasn't there, I said to a mate take him off and put Jota on for second half

I mean I love the guy, he's put so many smiles on my face over the years but those smiles are becoming more and more rare and he just seems to be continuing to slide downhill. If Jota returns anywhere near the form he was in earlier in the season then I think it will be tough to give a case for Firmino over Jota.

 

[Mark1989]

The fact that offside is still talked about and they keep changing it is a farce in itself.

It shouldn't need to be so complex, as I said earlier if feet are level then it's onside regardless of what your arms, hands, biceps etc are doing as you don't score with them anyway

 

[mmj_uk]

Then you’ll get offside goals given. You either leave it as black and white as it is, or scrap VAR for offsides altogether

Why do offsides have to be black and white and analysed to jobsworth proportions when VAR is still controversial with virtually every other situation? treat offsides as subjective like everything else and let the eyes decide if it's unclear by naked eye just call it onside.

If handballs are not always handball then why do offsides always have to be offside? just use some common sense a few millimetres are nothing the Chelsea striker could have probably a metre onside and still scored that goal.

HANDBALL QUICK DRAW SOME LINES AND PROVE IT.

 

[omnomnom]

I have no idea what the handball law is anymore.

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

Stop ****ing breathing Tyler you annoying ****.

Edit: Salah off instead of Mane or Firmino and Jones off instead of Thiago? Klopp's purposely trying to wind me up

 

[Mark1989]

Ox and Jota coming on.

Don't get why it's salah though Bobby hasn't done a thing all game

 

[Tombstone]

Cannot understand those subs. I'd have taken off Mane and Firmino and left on Jones, Jota and Salah

 

[robfosters]

Salah looked like a paddy was coming

 

[Ayahuasca]

Salah to Madrid confirmed

 

[Robbo]

Injuries or not, Liverpool's rapid downfall has been strange. They also got thrashed by Villa with a pretty much full strength team before the injuries got bad.

 

[Tombstone]

82nd minute and we still havent had a shot on target yet.

I've posted a few good articles about our form over the last few weeks but due to the fact Klopp's been so successful, people blame injuries and stick their heads in the sand.

This version of Liverpool is the most tactically inept I've ever seen, it's so broken it's unbelievable we've got a manager that's actually won a trophy, let alone multiple trophies.

 

[fez]

Werner has nearly scored so many goals.

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

Mane looks completely uninterested in football, no idea what's happened to him.
