Bright start from Sturridge. Not sure he'll last the whole 90, but the 7 weeks out doesn't seem to have affected him too adversely!

Probably play an hour or so, I'm guessing. Decent first half.

[jammy_basturd]

I dunno, I expect at least 70-75 minutes. Don't really want Suarez playing today for too long at all.

Looks like Jonjo has found his level

Thanks for that! I thought we where playing Barcelona today.

How silly if me

The park we use to play football on every Saturday is in better condition than this pitch.
Can't get over how bad it is.
Surely both teams share the disadvantage so it will stop them playing as much as it stops us.
Us with more quality should show it more so.

ALL pitches were like this by November at one time...

Goalies and players covered in mud, rather than nice little grass stains.

The team in red got away with a couple there,

[Dan_1981]

Oooops

Mart's gonna have a field day when he see's that goal by Suarez.

Hand ball all day long

[Gow3r]

Now before the inquiry, I think to be honest where is his hand supposed to go? its at pace, it was not the same ilk as Maradonna now was it!!

I would love to see more honesty from players across the board, he could have said that he handled it there suarez I guess, but apart from that not sure what else your supposed to do!

Shame for the cup tie though even as a red!

Dear oh dear " the work of a cheat " as the commentator said could have earn't himself some much needed brownie points . Little wonder why everybody can't stand him .

What a Cheat !

You're giving your age away Heretic...they've been "keepers" for the last 20 years.

Couldnt really get out of the way of it. The press and fans of other clubs are going to have a field day and for that reason im glad there is no *official* LFC thread tonight!

Sturridge did well i thought, needs to be more composed but could/should have had 2 or 3.

[RedTrident]

Not his finest hour. But nowhere near his worst. The rebound hit his hand rather than his hand go searching for the ball imo

[GTO-3R]

A blatant handball, you can not defend him on that. He knew exactly what he was doing! Mansfield should have had at least two handballs too, shocking reffing..

Well, not to the ball for a start.
I think you just started the inquiry BTW
Remember Suarez has form with handball

Expected a more "balanced" opinion from you RT
