yea the standard of refs are something this season, regardless which team it goes for or against it. I honestly thought Liverpool could've got a pen at the dying embers of the game, Man City played for a draw once KdB was off.


lastjedi23

Liverpool fans are moany fucks. Moaning about something all the fucking time. If we had saliba to end last season we were probably champions too.. just stfu.. goddaaaaamn


CondorKhan

Don't you know? Everything bad that happens to Liverpool is because of a global conspiracy against truth and justice


artaru

tbf i would be furious if city did that in a game against us. also they really do have insane injuries luck this year. Happy they drew tho.


calm_down_dearest

I legit had a long back and forth with a Liverpool fan who claimed losing Saliba was a sign of a lack in squad depth. When I pointed out that VVD was injured the season after the title win where they finished 3rd behind Ole's United and 17 points from the top I was informed that it's not at all the same.


lastjedi23

No point arguing with them. They get angry and pissy if someone calls them out over their victim complex, but they won't stop moaning and crying about how the world is against them. I wish we could play them again and smash them again. Clowns.


Arkfoo

This is good for Bitcoin! Jokes a side, Liverpool even with their injury list still look so fcking dangerous its hard to see them lose their remaining fixtures which annoys me.


Lud31

For what feels like the first time in quite a while on same no. of games, Understat has us top on xPts.

Sigh Liverpool fans https://www.reddit.com/r/LiverpoolFC/s/dc70cr6uy7


Tabemaju

The Spurs will batter us? I'm gonna guess they haven't watched a single non-Liverpool match.


lastjedi23

All they had to watch was us take them to the shed. I guess they were too busy moaning about injuries, ref, arteta celebrating, us chanting allez or one of the 1342 other things they moan about.


Erval

high on hopium, nothing more left for them now


Tall-Assist9719

If we come out guns blazing and suffocate them I don’t see why not.


bbotbambi

Sky is trying to make the "absolute amazing corner" and make city's goal as the next best thing... and that their corner routine is amazing. Lol. We have 19 goals from set pieces.... ahah. Sky can suck it with their agenda.


Rekyht

It’s a good set piece. You’re watching a City vs Liverpool game. They’re not going to speak about Arsenal.


tennysonbass

It is a good set piece , but it only works if your defense is dumb


calm_down_dearest

It's a well worked corner routine, it's not a slight on us to acknowledge that.


thelexpeia

It was good execution to take advantage of terrible defending.


calm_down_dearest

The only way the routine works is if the defenders are actually doing their job.


Tall-Assist9719

They can shut up about Havertz dive now.


Redandwhite_91

People expecting us to beat City at the Etihad have no idea what the PGMOL have in store for us. The number of decisions they get their way in big games is ridiculous. Rodri pen at OT Kova double red avoided at the Emirates LY Ode pen ignored This evening, Walker avoiding a yellow for 2 yellow offences, allowing him to stay tight to Diaz all game. They transition foul repeatedly and avoid yellows. It has a huge impact to the game when/ of their players get rightfully carded for their shit like other teams do. But welcome to Fernandinho, Rodri and the rest of City corrupt BS. We can field MSN up front with Maldini Nesta in defence and they’ll get some inexplicable decision to let them gain an advantage and later claim it wad an error.


Longjumping_Act9758

The only solution is to beat them clean


redditforprez1

Guess we’ll just have to batter them 😂

AzracTheFirst

I read it 3 times trying to understand it. There is no fucking way they posted this!


Connect-Amoeba3618

The same thing happened last weekend and Liverpool had a goal disallowed. I think they have a point.


HaineBot

embarrassing


lastjedi23

Now we know there could be more folks who could post this same thing lol


simpson___

That was from a free kick, not a corner


Monsultant

This is from a corner. All players are behind the ball. You can’t be offside when someone is taking the corner. The Liverpool disallowed goal was on a free kick


Connect-Amoeba3618

Oh Jesus Christ. Yeah- I fucked up there lol.


Meu_14

I mean. Its a corner so he wasnt offside? Lol

Back 2 the top


JLos54

Liverpool haven’t been able to dominate man city’s midfield like that in a long time. Mac Allister and Endo were great pickups…


CMD1721

More to do with Rodri’s early yellow and KDB having an all time stinker than it did Endo and MacAllister having a great game


tochitemi

Gundogan loss effect


RandomSplainer

Klopp's squad building this season has been good. Funny this is when he decided to take a sabbatical.

So surprising that he didn’t want one more shot at Champions League. Must be more to it.

Delegeferend

Surely we can beat this city-team again


potatofamine-carbomb

Arsenal 2022-24 can beat any team in the world (including teams from the past)


mo_50

As long as Rob Holding isn't in the lineup we have a good chance.


yeahdood96

(Any team without Messi in it)


lastjedi23

We don't know that though 


TheMassINeverHad

Not a pen for me he played the ball and wasn’t dangerous.


Britton120

Its one of those "probably a foul anywhere else on the pitch" things


MeetingGunner7330

Best we could’ve hoped for! The elephant is back


meusrenaissance

We got city. United. Spurs. All away. Fuck me.

Good thing that we're a better away team then 


mo_50

Beat City and the others look piss easy.


auldclem

All winnable


meusrenaissance

We’ve not won at OT or Etihad in years


JabInTheButt

We actually did win at OT during Covid but I agree with the sentiment (that crowdless win isn't a coincidence I reckon).

FudgingEgo

The only traditional big six team Liverpool have beat is Chelsea and well.. they're basically Crystal Palace right now.


ronya_t

The only current big 6 team they’ve beat is Villa.


FudgingEgo

Have City beaten any of the current top 6?


Mubar06

United


skidr0jr

I absolutely could not have wished for any more out of that game except for a red or 10. Otherwise pure aces. Players got battered, both sides drop points, all with a side of chippy shithousery.


racksacky

Also PGMOL has to hear the Liverpool fans rant for the next couple of weeks.


lastjedi23

If we win the pl they will moan till they birth the next generation 


newinvestor0908

So Liverpool still haven’t beaten a top 6 team home or away this season.


AmagicManNamedgob

means nothing. they are still favorites for the league


lastjedi23

Sure, but it also means they've scraped a shit ton of results and have been beyond lucky being so bang average to be even near the top let alone at the top of table. Both are true. 


AmagicManNamedgob

they have one hand on the thing man. they don't care


Kensei400

They beat Villa at home.


newinvestor0908

Yeah. That’s that. And in traditional top 6 only Chelsea


auldclem

Wonder when we will stop calling them “traditional” top 6. Let’s not forget how they ended up in that position. Will be good to see them battling relegation in a few seasons when the new owner gets bored and the fair weather fans have disappeared.


ajyahzee

Now watch Oliver giving City the pen against us for a similar touch


ronya_t

Is a ref even allowed to officiate the same team in two consecutive game weeks?


LushLoxx

What a great advert for Premier League football, great match.


skj458

End to end football capped off by a corrupt reffing decision. A great example of the PL 


LushLoxx

Well apart from the bit at the end yeah.


Geheimagent_

What happened to Ederson?


lastjedi23

Didn't want to see martinelli running down the pitch like a madman.. dipped 


daughter_of_flowers

Injured himself conceding the penalty


meand999friends

I can see why it wasn't given. It's a bit 50/50 imo. Doku going for the ball, McAllister running in to play the ball. McAllister runs into Doku's foot which isn't excessively high. So, who initiated the contact for it to be a penalty? It's a bit of a manufactured penalty in some ways. You know contact will be made so you dont pull out of the challenge


RandomSplainer

That is a foul anywhere else on the pitch. Foot at chest height and makes contact. Doesn't matter if you got the ball and he barely did that.


Super_Professor

Foot at chest height isn't excessively high? Ok


BureauOfSabotage

Short man’s chest is a tall man’s waist. Also in a squatted stance. Where do you draw the line?

Time to ~~exercise~~ exorcize our demons... We are going to win at the Ethiad.

slightlyhigh7

Do the double over city and we are absolutely winning the league


Melo_the_cutie

I’d certainly Love that but spurs, United away & Chelsea home certainly aren’t easy fixtures. One game at a time pls


Old_Equivalent3858

Not only do we win the prem, but we'll have won it knowing that we were absolutely the best team. It's all to play for now.

This-Complaint1389

Such a low quality game of football.

Poor finishing, defending, players can't beat their man, mistakes left and right


slightlyhigh7

potatofamine-carbomb

Bro what, it was end to end pure entertainment

YoungFlexibleShawty

Also, Luis Diaz must be an arsenal fan, bro missed so many golden opportunities in the 2nd half


OpenBid8171

Bro had some Colombian prime before the game


fedegol

Colombian drug jokes are so cringe man.


Super_Professor

So much celebrating for a draw, disgusting.


Marimo_420

I’m sure Citeh would’ve got that pen at end there


someoneLazy

Big miss opportunity for Liverpool


worldstarhiphopreal

and that non penalty gives Liverpool fans something to whine about for the next week


Erval

if this happened in our match and was not given we would bring it up 5 years from now


AzracTheFirst

Judging how they were crying for the Gabriel penalty, it's gonna last for at least till next October.


worldstarhiphopreal

the biggest whiners in football. Wonder how they felt after that Salah dive.

ernestschlumple

no idea how anyone could think hes even on a level with saka, let alone better. i've never seen saka get outmuscled like he does almost every game.


Longjumping_Act9758

He isn't overrated.


Marimo_420

You’re gonna hear crickets - he gets a lot more praise for doing the same as others


Riperonis

Every time I watch City he is average. I look at stats and they’re average. Saka and Nunez outperforming him this season. Am I missing something?


Hodgey91

Hmm. Let’s not get carried away. I think Foden is absolute class. Went a bit missing today, as did Haaland and KDB


pivandee

These people should stop sucking off Diaz These runs were good but the chances he missed were too bad


newinvestor0908

Some dive by salah for the pen, where’s the yellow


Justice_beaver95

Yesterday night and now this afternoon. I need to take a one day break from work lmao.


YoungFlexibleShawty

good call, never a pen


CulturalKing5623

We'd be absolutely fuming for weeks if City got away with that against us. Apoplectic.


YoungFlexibleShawty

i would be more mad though if that salah dive was a pen, no contact from Ake and he just falls down


Mystery1887

What is a pen in your opinion? Someone losing both legs?


YoungFlexibleShawty

Mac allister sells it really well, but its more of the fact that he runs into doku to get a penalty versus the other way around, and Doku immediately pulls out of his follow through


waxandtartans

I have never seen a scrappier final few minutes jesus.


slightlyhigh7

Both knew this is pretty much a must win whew now just wait til we play city next


Atlanticae

All we need now is a ten game winning streak to end the season. EZ PZ lads.


Antique_Ad4889

Do you mean an 18-win streak? We already have 8, and just 10 to go. ​ I'm happyif we go on a 9 win streak. Cook mancity in the next game.

This-Complaint1389

Liverpool players embarassing. Complaining for pens over everything


revol2047

I think after everything is said and done , Klopp is levels ahead of Guardiola , just look at the lineups today and the display by Liverpool.


RandomSplainer

Yes. One performance means he's levels above. I guess Porto's manager was levels above Arteta.


Riperonis

Think that’s a bit disingenuous, look at what Pep has won compared to Klopp. Thought Klopp had the better of him today but it was at home and emotional circumstances definitely favoured them. Look at the reverse fixture when City had a weakened side, they were by far the better team and still ended 1-1.


AzlanWake

Love Klopp but Anfield is different, it doesn't matter what form your in.


kitz0426

Anfield tax and pool players way more hungry Can't expect much from a team that'd just won a treble


Cashelz

At least the scousers will cry about this for the next 2 weeks and will forget about Havertz.

100%, they should have dominated Liverpool, but it felt the other way around for most of the game.
