Liverpool vs Villa has seen some dreadful referee performances in the last few seasons.
Moss @Villa Park Last Season
Attwell @Anfield Last Year
Atkinson and Tierney both had poor performances in 2020 too
Its one of those games like Spurs vs Chelsea and Liverpool vs Spurs.
I just don't see how Konsa didn't deliberately play it, he clearly moves his leg
That is an absolutely brilliant on field call to give Villa a penalty. My whole house watching and the whole of Anfield thought Konate won the ball but he hadn't. Great work!
In my seat at Anfield I and everybody around me knew it was a penalty and our only complaint was Konate’s poor positioning which caused him to make a rash challenge.
When did referees start going to the monitor to check offsides? I must have missed that update.
When it isn't black and white and there has to be a subjective decision made as to whether the player had interfered with play or an opponent. Has happened a few times.
As I was at the game I’ll see what the television shows me. I’d be interested to see what excuse was concocted for the SFP by Mings.
I hope Mr. Webb is going to instruct his charges to deal with timewasting properly as well. Not quite as bad as Newcastle but atrocious nonetheless. The Villa goalkeeper was wasting time from the start, why wait 76 minutes to apply Law? The blizzard of late yellows for Villa was pointless-do it earlier.
They Yellow Card for Martinez was pointless. He was never going to get a second yellow no longer how much time he took.
