Hoping Brendan lacks the bottle to drop Gerrard for the Derby. Thought he was very poor overall at Goodison and shows nothing apart from delivery from free kicks and his penalty taking. He seems to have lost all of his mobility and pace. We have a much better chance if he is on the pitch for them imo. Our attack could tear them apart. Hope we get a ref with some cojones, though. They always seem to get rescued by poor decisions in their favour no matter how badly they play.
 
Brendan Rodgers: "It was a clear penalty. There's contact with the back foot. When you're running at speed, that contact is enough. I think we were unlucky not to get another penalty too."

:blink:
 
So don't give it. It's really quite simple; unless you're 100% sure it's a penalty, don't give it.

The referee has guessed, which isn't what they're job is about.

Which means he shouldn't give it then.

Well no, not really. I didn;t say the ref wasn't sure if it was a foul or not, i said he got 1 view of it at full speed and thought there was a foul so gave it.

Its only after watching slow mo replays that we can judge with certainty that there was no contact.
 
Can't wait for refs to legitimise their decisions by referring to whether they saw mud come up or not......Rednapp, one absolute red [Poor language removed].
 
We won't lose the derby in my opinion, draw mimimum. Villa passed them off the park first half, we are more consistent and have better players than Villa.
 
It's swings and roundabouts, lad.

If there's any justice in the world karma will work itself out and he'll be denied a stonewall penalty against us in their next match.

Plus, it only got them a point, not 2 or 3.

They're 8 points adrift off the top of the league now, having been top at Christmas and getting a couple of dodgy penalties in the last 2 matches.
 
Liverpool requiring OGs, suicide defending of opponents and gift pens to stay in the 4th place mix.

It's all good blues...all good.

Me, you and a few others said this last week Dave after the Stoke game but there were some on here praising them and ****ting themselves.
