The FA CUP Fifth Round ** Spoilers ** [14th - 16th February 2015]

Getting a touch on the ball between someones legs isn't automatically a foul or penalty, if you go through the players legs from behind before you get a touch on the ball it would be, but putting your foot between his legs and getting the ball isn't a penalty.

He didn't just simply get a touch from between his legs though did he?

Yeah think DM agrees he took the man (although he won't say it :D) but you can win the ball if take it without touching the man from behind, which is very very unlikely
 
Well doing nearly everything right but scoring :( Were too direct so making it easier for them

Basically two Skrtel mistakes have given them two decent chance (including the goal), and that has been about it. We've threatened but other than the Lallana and Markovic chance we've not done a lot that is too scary, should've had a pen and a freekick for laying on the ball though

My post was badly worded to be fair, as in 'any challenge from behind is a foul' - not really what I meant.
 
The more I see that challenge, the more i'm sure it's a penalty. Pretty much nailed on for me.

There isn't even any doubt to be honest but with such great dribblers on our team it happens at least once, if not multiple times per game. Anyway Liverpool should be able to beat this lot regardless
