Not a red card in my opinion. What pissed me off more is where the free kick was taken. At least 5 yards further forward, the cut of the grass makes it easy to spot. Lots of positives to take though.

Have you seen Rodney’s assitin yesterday’s MLs game? Brilliant 96th minute winner.

I think he red carded him as he was last man and it would have led to goal scoring opportunity - not the actual tackle itself , he would have been through and 1 on 1

That's the debate though, because they have given him a 3 match ban for dangerous play, whereas preventing a clear goal scoring opportunity carries only a 1 match ban - I believe the club are seeking clarity.

Ahh I heard on SSN he was getting a 1 game??

Should have let him through he would not have beaten Jordan in a one on one

I think it was an honest attempt to tackle but it was a lunge and clear studs on ankle so could have been nasty, he was unlucky as sometimes that’s a yellow but I can’t help thinking the position influenced the ref, a clear 1 on 1 middle of goal

Interesting point - thought all straight reds were a 3 game ban

You mean like Neves did from 30

Half the cost of that Allison and a better keeper

We know this,how?

Pickford has let in 1 goal in every league game he's played this season and Allison has kept a clean sheet for the whole of his Liverpool career.

To be fair to Pickford, he's played for Sunderland and us last season and we were awful last season. I think most keepers would puck the ball out the back of the net lots with that kind of history.

Although Liverpool haven't put 7 past Pickford unlike Allison...

Who mentioned Alison

You said he wouldn't be beaten 1 on 1 I simply said he was beaten from.30 yards...I know which is easier

[hilly10]

We will judge at the end of the season, let’s face it it’s going to be a whole lot different for Alison in the PL

I did wonder if I should put yet at the end of that

It’s going to be interesting what the back four line up will be tomorrow now Jags is out. One thing I do know Williams will not be in there.

[Fast Bug]

It won't be Mina, so I hope it will be Holgate and Keane as I thought Keane did ok last week. It'll be interesting to see how Keane fairs this season without Williams next to him, hopefully he'll up his game.

The Brands interview was quite interesting, it seems Mina was on his radar before the World Cup which is promising. He was quite frank that we over paid for Richarlison, reading between the lines some money of that was to appease Watford about Silva

[hilly10]

Martina gone on loan to Stoke. That has made my day,another liability gone
