It was definitely a game of two halves, the first half we played well enough, got an early goal and should have had a few more, poor control and bad passes ensured we didn't, Mane's pass for Salah's goal was unexpected probably even to Mane, and Salah put it away with ease, Spurs looked scared TBH and made several mistakes but we failed to capitalise, In the second half I thought we started to relinquish control of the game, whether Hendo had run out of steam as he had been very good up to then, our midfield started to be over-run, the subs didn't change that a great deal, Spurs looked a different team for the better we looked vulnerable, have to say Spurs won't score many goals like their first, not many teams will, the pens, what can you say, it happens, I thought Karious was unlucky as was VVD for his, I noticed on the second pen Karious gave Kane the right hand side of the goal to aim at where he eventually dived, Kane didn't accept it as he knew karious would go to his right, he hit a decent pen to his left, Karious won the brain game on the first and Kane won hands down on the second. Salah's second goal was a thing of beauty although their was a hint of O/S, he is remarkable and surprises me week on week, just wish he had a better supply. |

Just watched the highlights on motd. From the highlights: 1. Defence largely played well 2. Trademark lovren shenanigans 3. The play was clearly offside..big sam Bolton special 4. Karius made a couple of good saves especially pen 5. Wanyama goal was good but could and should have been closed down...think Emre pulled out of a block.... 6. Firmino missed a strikers chance 7. 2nd pen was a pen, sometimes these happen. 8. Heavy metal football is out of steam 9. Lack of quality in mf, lack of leadership and lack of winning mentality once again contributed to our lost points. |

Spurs are a good football team with a few high quality individuals so a draw is hardly a surprising or disappointing result. We can nit pick what went wrong on Klopp’s team today all day long and mostly focus on the horrendous ref decisions , but we can’t forget that the first Liverpool goal was scored on a dreadful defensive error while the second was just a piece of individual brilliance out of nothing. Sure , Klopp needs to find a playmaker in midfield that can trap a ball, raise his head and execute an accurate long diagonal pass where Salah and Mane can run on too but until that happens the rest of the team is far from perfect and it does ok considering. Still in the top 4 |

The first one was offside, Kane was clearly off when the ball was played through. It isn't even close. Post match they are debating whether Lovren got the touch on the pass but wtf does that matter, he was offside when the ball was played. Garbage decision honestly. VAR overturns that in a second. The second one there was contact but Lamella threw himself to the ground in order to have a roll of the penalty dice and he got it. It was only slight contact and Van Dijk withdrew his leg anyway. Contact like that happens game in game out but players just get on with it and aren't searching for a penalty. The linesman didn't see the offside for the first incident but did see the slight contact for the second incident or the ref chose to ignore him for the first one and listen to him for the second incident, either way!!! Midfield was crap, only Milner put in a shift. JB is right, l noticed that too, Can bottled the challenge for the Wanyama goal (good a a strike though it was).

The FA Rule they red out on MOTD is pure and complete utter nonsense, an absolute shambles guaranteed to cause confusion and chaos around it. It's all about whether a LFC player touched the ball because that would then mean it is the "second phase" of play but that is also complete nonsense. And is there a tv screen involved or not. Haha what a mess. |

They might as well scrap the offside rule as nobody now understands it least of all the refs and linesmen. The only people benefitting from it are the goal poachers who play most of the game in an offside position hoping for a touch off a defender - step forward the master - HK. |

Its fucking daft. If he was offside when the Spurs player played the ball to him, then he should be offside. What difference does it make that Lovren tried to touch the ball? Of course he did, thats what a defender is supposed to do. It gives no advantage to the defending team and every advantage to the attacking team. Stupid rule. |

Watching twitter before and it shows the linesman punching the air in front of him when he changed the refs mind for the pen |

The call was not only wrong, but corrupt as well... I'm surprised LFC have not brought this up... What happened to impartiality and professionalism?? |

I think CJ is talking about the sex tape of Dele where his partner had her mouth full while on her knees. |

Just watched the second penalty again. Never a penalty. He just about managed to connect with VVD withdrawing leg. Linesman had no call to make that decision as there was obvious doubt |

As I've said, corrupt officiating .... two penalties which should never have been given. |
