Davkaus Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 The ref blew the whistle early when they were in posession and looking to lump it into the box. Very odd. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think thing here is Leicester get this shock win, then rattle 4-5 past Norwich and then beat whoever they play next away and suddenly it's 31 points and real momentum in their season with a few injured players to come back. Whereas a loss and they're stuck with 22 points and full of self doubt. Reminds me of last season when people were willing likes of Everton to constantly beat the big teams....and then wondering why we couldn't finish above them despite getting 56 points. We have no chance whatsoever of finishing above Liverpool obviously (and they aren't finishing above Man. City). We do have a decent chance of finishing above Leicester so the fanboy support on here has surprised me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wainy316 Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 I can’t endorse any outcome that makes Kasper Schmeichel happy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 Not alot different, just couldn't finish mostly down to Schmeichel having a good game and Salah looked a little tired, even his dive For the penalty I've seen him do better.

The ball went out of play several times in stoppage time, and he still ended it early. **** Liverpool, and all that, but operating a stopwatch isn't that hard.

As OBE just said in the Liverpool thread they can't afford to do that, they have to keep winning or city will run away with it, us and Leicester in the middle of the table will chop and change another 10 times by the end of May Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that we’d have done anything but there was at least a minute and half between Konsa’s foul and Jorginho scoring the pen. Ref still blew bang on 94 mins. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 But yeah as far as tonight is concerned, if you are planning on playing to 94 mins 55 seconds, then you should have the stadium announcer declare a minimum of 94 minutes not 95. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 Leicester defended really well and still they had some last ditch stuff, some good saves, mane missed the chance that he has to take and salah missed the penalty, thought Liverpool also had a lot of headers from corners that they should have done a lot better with On another day Liverpool score 3 or 4 And again that's with Leicester defending well... There can't be any moaning from klopp, it was just one of those nights, unfortunately for him man City vert rarely have them and that's the problem 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Zen Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 That foul against Lamptey on Reece James there looked awfully similar to Salah’s on Mings the other week. Of course, Salah got a penalty out of it while Lamptey was (correctly) told to pull the other one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
