Damn having seen that tackle on Meyer from Auba 
Deserved red card for me and hopefully Meyer isn’t too badly injured. Nice to see Auba apologise as well afterwards but that was quite a nasty tackle.

On another note, has anyone else noticed how flat Martin Tyler's commentary has been all season, especially when Liverpool are playing? Seems to be no enthusiasm in his voice any more, almost like he's bored of the game. Used to be one of the best out there.

Agreed, but if that’s a VAR review and a red, how the **** does Robertson’s tackle not even get a VAR review?Damn having seen that tackle on Meyer from Auba

Had the ball, got it, foot bounced up with studs facing generally downwards, it ain’t a red

It was dangerous. Getting the ball doesn’t excuse that. That was at least a yellow.
Caporegime
Just wow. It’s the Spurs players fault Robertson took a heavy touch and then lunged to get the ball and followed through with his studs raised.
It would have been reviewed but it clearly wasn't a red card, let alone clearly a red card which it would have needed to be to have been overturned.
The difference between Auba and Robertson's challenged are night and day. One player is going directly down into the challenge with his full force and the other catches the opponent with the upswing of his follow through, having won the ball, with far less force.
Castles hates us and is employed by Mourinho, his levels of desperation know no boundaries when we play a Mourinho side. He's pushing the idea that Henderson handled the ball, using a bad still, even though the replays showed it was Alli.
This Tyler thing has become a running joke with Liverpool fans. I guess it's mostly a case of becoming old and miserable but he definitely isn't a Liverpool fan either.
If someone gets there after you kick a ball you’ll be kicking them on the follow through regardless although often they’re so late they take you, can’t be afraid to kick the ball when you’re there first.
Anyway no ref disagreeing with the decision so it isn’t all that controversial, I’ve been pretty quick to call out when we’ve had insanely bad decisions go for us this year (see Robbo and Trent vs Everton).

How is Eddie Howe still in a job?
1 win and 1 draw in 11 PL games if you include today.

What's gone wrong at Bournemouth?
Soldato
Isn't half the team injured?
Soldato
Yep.
Pretty hard for a team like Bournemouth to be effective with so many first team injuries, some of them long term.
They were in freefall before the injuries built up though. Wilson's goals had masked the fact that Bournemouth have been pretty rubbish for about 12 months now. It looks a classic case of a manager staying too long - things have gone stale and he's spent really badly too. The fact that he's done so well for them previously is why they've given Howe time but that may end up costing them because it looks like they're going down at this rate.

WOW! That was class from Mahrez.
