Sutekh Another *******stupid VAR call but then it’s Oliver


It's not ridiculous, as he's within a few feet of the keeper in the six-yard box, but I can see why LFC fans feel hard done by.

If the goal had been given, I don't feel City could complain too much.


Gary Neville referred to another recent game where something similar happened and IIRC the player was even more in the line of sight of the keeper and yet that goal stood.

An incredible performance from Doku was a major difference between the two sides whereas normally he is quite inconsistent and he even crowned his performance with a stunning goal of his own.
I can't think of another game for some time between top clubs where a single player has been in the game so much and so effective, leading Neville to award him MOM after only 60 minutes or so.

One minor crumb of comfort for Liverpool is that they have already played 5 of the top 7 in the division.

Good to see Bournemouth brought down to earth.-their fans locally have become a bit above themselves and their old manager Eddie Howe's Newcastle are only a couple of points above the relegation places.


Not having that. Liverpool were second best all over the pitch. Yes Doku was MOTM and he scored but he wasn’t the only difference. He had no assists for example.

'greed! City's passing was excellent today. The way they played out from the back for the first goal was sublime. Foden and Bernardo made themselves available (in space) all game.
