"I would expect Klopp to be telling people to keep their f**king hands off opposition backs in the area now."
Correct - should be obvious to any defender, at any level.
If it was the other way round I'd be giving off saying it's soft but I'd also be more annoyed about the stupidity of the defender in that situation, 100%.

Well to push someone, you have to extend your arms. Try and push something without extending your arms? If he saw that, then he gives a penalty. If he didn't then he's just guessing.

It wasn't a push, it was a dunt up the ar%e.  Still a foul and we now know that Klopp doesn't appear to know what is and isn't a foul.  And w.hy he seems to prefer Moreno.

That's true. Sometimes I can't believe how brainless some lads are. Lucas was a prime example, but Moreno and Lovren are as bad. Even Henderson against Brighton, like WTF are you thinking? That's not talent, or effort, or systems, that's just pure unadulterated stupidity.

Moreno has played well this season bar the Sevilla game. Without his baggage, no one would be calling for him to be dropped. Klopp dropped him and froze him out last year fairly unceremoniously when he was struggling.

That said, Robertson has the chance now to make the spot his own with Moreno out for a few weeks.

As a ref in Gaa, you can have hands on someones back but you cant push them, the moment you push its a free, now not everyone goes down when pushed, some players are able to hold their feet, but soccer is different it seems, 6"3 players fall all the time !

[north_antrim_hound]

Never a penalty
Ask yourself this , if that happened ten times in a row at various matches with different referees how many would give it
At the same time once you put your hand on someone's back your inviting trouble, Jesus we tell our young hurlers that
Once the Everton player felt something down he went like a sack of S..T
I bet that ref would have given Herrara a penalty yesterday instead of telling him to get up and here is a yellow for your BS

On the bright side, Gomez had some game yesterday. Been playing very well the past few weeks.

[J70]

And Porto...

Gomez is playing great and in fairness lovren and Moreno are just not good enough
At this level as a defender you can't have 5 good matches out of 6
They need yer man from Southampton as soon as

I've actually seen Liverpool a few times on TV recently and Gomez has impressed me. Salah is just brilliant....have to say I like watching the guy play. Another example of Mourinho's great management I think?

Moreno is one of the worst professional soccer players I've ever seen....robbing a living.

Yeah it's looking like mourhino has squandered some talent at Chelsea

Can't understand anyone saying it wasn't a penalty.
It may have been considered as soft but it's a penalty everyday of the week. It's stupid from Lovern.
If it happened to a Liverpool player and we didn't get a penalty you'd be annoyed.
Anyway..Porto. Got to be happy with that.

Dermot Gallagher on Sky reviewed the incident and said "I think it is a penalty. It's reminiscent of the penalty Aaron Ramsey got against Burnley a few weeks ago. It's not the biggest push in the world but if you put your arms on the back like that, the referee is bound to give a penalty, and he was correct to do so."

[brokencrossbar1]

I'll throw this out...of the faller had been say....Luis Suarez when he was playing for Liverpool would the same media have called it a penalty or would they have called Suarez a diver?  Trust me, a huge amount of the 'impartial' media,  as far as young English players are concerned cannot see the woods for the trees. It was never a penalty and the young lad fell as soon as there was any contact.

Now the game should have been out of sight but that's another story. Mane squares the ball. 2-0 at HT and we win 3-4 nil. End of story.

Porto is not the best not the worst draw

Thats harsh. Bar the horror show against Sevilla in the second half Moreno has been solid all year. Robertson would be my preference though, much more solid defensively. Unfortunately as has been proven too many times by Liverpool this year, individual defensive errors are proving very costly.

You wonder if Gomez is ever going to be transitioned to CB or if Klopp sees him as a Full back only.

Porto in the next round of the CL. Happy enough with that. Will not be easy but glad to have avoided Juve and Real. Both Manchester clubs will be happy with their draws.
