I think Dier went down theatrically looking for it. There was contact from Henderson surely, but he made a meal of it looking a  soft free out and got caught out

Looked like normal jostling, shoulder to shoulder to me. And it had no bearing on Firmino scoring. Would have been ludicrous to disallow the goal for that.

Dont think it was shoulder to shoulder to be fair. Looked like Hendo gave him a "dunt" (to use an old manager's phrase  ;)) in the back. However I agree that it was nt enough to warrant a free, I think Dier realised he had lost Williams and decided to look for the free.

With our luck with VAR, I was actually expected it to be ruled out. I think Dier being blocked did have a part to play as Alderweireld then had both Williams and Bobby to mark. You can see he kinda goes towards Williams and then back to Bobby. Who knows what would've happened if Dier had been close to Williams freeing Toby up for Bobby.

Anyway it's done now and we move on. Palace up next...Beneteke suspended, as bad as he has been (bit improved recently) he's the type of striker who can gift out back line issues. Zaha the man to watch though...big job for Hendo, TAA and whoever is playing the right sided CB.

Diers fall was pathetic of a 'big' man but did anyone see Sir Harry....cleared the ball with a good header, looked where the ball went, then collapsed holding his head...when will he be called out?

Always hate the Palace away game, maybe it's PTSD from the 2014 game....
Anyway the recent record has been decent enough so hopefully a win tomorrow and be top for Christmas and into the new year.

I noticed that. It was with Gini right? I noticed Gini didn't even flinch so either there was no contact or Gini is as hard as nails

We've been beating them away repeatedly, but I still always dread it. Always a complete scrap, usually with Liverpool snatching a late win.

Since Klopp came in, we've won every away game against them. Lost his first two against them at Anfield, the latter, under Big Sam, Liverpool's last home league defeat.

Funny the 2014 game didnt really bother me at the time. The league was lost the previous Sunday as far as I was concerned so the fact we were going to lose it on points rather than goal difference was a bit of a "Meh" moment

No doubt one of those pesky foreigners taught him that...they've a lot to answer for ruining the beautiful game!

With Palace looking dangerous at times too.

Quality up front is what matters.
