Greenlizard0 Premier League Football Thread ** spoilers ** [25th - 27th November 2023]

Alison has been horrendous today but what a disaster if he is injured.

Never seen someone want to lose a game so badly lol
 
Correct VAR is *****, but a ref getting a borderline decision wrong (ultimately hard in real time to determine that amongst the 16 bodies around the 6 yard box) is not having a mare. VAR should've corrected him and unsurprisingly didn't

Majority on here have said its not a foul. Again VAR a mess only this time Liverpool not on the wrong end of it

Lol, borderline decision. Is that you Dean Saunders?
 
I'll take that. Neither a terrible nor particularly good performance but the same applies to City. Supporters will say it wasn't a foul on Alisson but that gets given as a foul 99% of the time - like it or not keepers are given extra protection and any sort of challenge on them results in a foul.

On Alisson, I've never known a keeper to pick up muscle injuries as often as he does. Fingers crossed it's nothing too serious and a 2 week job rather than 4+ because we've got some big games coming up.
Would be interesting if the ref had not given a foul. I don’t think it was a clear or obvious foul, but equally not sure you could say the refs interpretation was a clear error either. I feel VAR would not challenge either decision.
They have precedent. Liverpool - Utd in the 19/20 season. We scored after VVD jumped with De Gea - it was far less of a foul than the situation today and given as a goal onfield but VAR ruled it out.
 
For such a talented player Sterling is a terrible striker of the ball so when he lined up the free-kick I wasn't expecting that.
