An almost fair reflection Seano.
Gordon did dive for the first penalty shout but the second has been given in numerous games over this season and should have been given in this instance. Richarlison had one of his sulky games, from the first ten minutes most of us blues knew that he wasn't going to be effective.
As for our players calling for cards all game, you should have included some of your own in that. Matip and Thiago were also guilty of this during the game.
Surprised that there is no mention of Mane's discretions or of Trent's tackle on Gordon, they both crossed the line as much as any of our players!
It was always going to be a tough game for us, given the form of both teams. The subs made by Klopp changed the game, pity we didn't have anyone on our bench that could do the same! Best of luck for the run in mate.

In my defence blue potato the replay of Mane’s face poke was not shown on the broadcast I watched and I didn’t actually see a replay until after I’d written the review - he was very lucky to only get a yellow, it could have, with the right (or wrong) official been a red.

As for Trent’s tackle? I mean it was a little late but hardly malicious, he got a yellow which I think was fair.

I honestly think that the 2nd penalty shout was, at best, 50/ 50, and that with his insistence on diving/ going down softly earlier on made it look more like a dive. I honestly thought he was already looking to go down and, whilst they are given, those penalties always feel somewhat soft to me but, you’re not wrong, they do get given from time to time. If it had gone against Liverpool, and we lost the game, I may of bemoaned it, but I certainly wouldn’t expect my club to go to the PMGOL to complain, it just wasn’t that blatant (unlike the City handball you’s did not get) .

I thought you’s played decently, Gordon looks very good and, if he cuts the diving outbid his game, can and will be a match winner. I also wish you good luck for the run in, I hope you manage to stay up.

No need to have to defend yourself mate, as you said it was a view from a red supporter. If a blue had posted from their view then I suppose it would be similar. Respect to you for writing the piece, look forward to your next one!
