ECHO Comment: "Fears of Witch-hunt Against Liverpool FC" part 2

I'll be surprised if Liverpool have another season like the one just gone. They won at least 12 points
from offside goals, dives by Salah and goalkeeping disasters. Not to mention SLY Sports scheduling virtually every single game in favour of them week in, week out. We (City) were always scheduled to play after them so the pressure to gain a win was cranked up again and again and again - every single week. I still don't know how we won 14 games on the bounce home & away but thankfully we managed to pull it off. We also took 4 points off them last season and it should have been 6. Marhez skying a penalty to win the game at Klanfield at the death. VAR won't stop Salah diving like he has been shot to cheat the officials and win a penalty, in fact I think that may possibly get worse. It might however, force the officials to rule out blatant offside goals which as I say I reckon they had at least 11 or 12 of them last season. To gain 97 points and not win it must be a crushing blow. Especially when they had a 10 point lead. Ultimately they blew it and they know they did - a 10 point lead is a big lead to lose. They were totally crushed when we beat them at the Etihad. You could see it on their faces. That's when the doubts really started to kick in. They also know now that City are capable of putting a winning run together that they can't match. I'll be surprised if they exceed 90 points next season.
Hello friend.

I see your account is fairly new. Why not introduce yourself in our new signings section?
 

Seeing somebody fully kitted was a thing of beauty. The only people who didn’t like it were the ones who deserved it. Don’t be a tit you don’t get negged... the rules were easy to follow... oh for the old days to return.

I've said before - the negs weren't the thing to measure a poster by, it was the hysterical over-reaction to negs that told the full beautiful story.

Bring them back.
 
Great post mate.

If that happens and City go clear ahead in the league after xmas,then Klopp will put his eggs in the CL basket.

Top 4 finish will be to easy for them, so i could see Klopp rotating in the league and being fresh for the CL games, i wouldn't be surprised to see them back in another final,begrudingly have to say they are a excellent 2 leg cup team and teams capitulate when they go to their ground which gives them an advantage in the ties.
Especially when their coach gets trashed.
 
I hadn’t seen the penalty decision (avoided watching the game by going for a cycle in the countryside). When I saw it later I was pretty shocked it was given, but then again Man U got a ridiculous pen against PSG. If these are pens then there will be a glut given from now on. There was no intent with either pen, just arms hanging out.

Even with the arm hanging out, it definitely hit Sissoko’s chest first so surely that cannot be given? I thought there had to be intent or has this changed?. It was silly he had his arm out like that (looked like he was pointing to his teammates to get into position type thing) but hitting his chest first negates any argument he intended to block it illegally.

To be given that decision in the biggest game in club football was a huge call, and unbelievably harsh.

But not surprising given that it was for the RS.
 

Been offered £4k cash for one of our season tickets. I’ve always said no to giving it away for a full season because they can become a bit entitled when it comes to renewal time, so I’ve never done it. Limit them to 5 games max per person per season and they are grateful.

This one is extremely tempting though to be honest
