Premier League Matchday 1

[gary69]

Salah - Nunez, it worked the 2nd time.

 

[John Price]

Penalty!

Doesn't appear to be enough to warrant a penalty but we will see what VAR say

 

[Savant]

Dive. Ridiculous call

 

[hatterson]

The very slightest contact on the knee, but it's also a huge dive.

 

[John Price]

Fulham lead again.

 

[gary69]

Spell of domination for Pool before that penalty. Bad mistake by Van Dijk, experienced player like him should have been able to resist that instinct to put the leg out.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Bit soft but it’s a penalty.

Nunez backheels are sex tho

 

[Gambar]

extremely soft pen imo

 

[John Price]

Dive. Ridiculous call

The very slightest contact on the knee, but it's also a huge dive.

Watching crap like that reminds me of the NBA where players get lightly tapped and just flop down to the officials for calls. It's so tiresome and I wish the league would say "Oh you fell down on that, nobody touched you. Get back up."

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

It's a pen but Mitro embellished the contact.

 

[Burner Account]

Van Dijk will do that once a season. It’s out of the way.

 

[OKR]

It’s always a penalty when you make a contact with a player who has already dribbled past you, doesn’t even matter how slight the contact is.

 

[Savant]

It's a pen but Mitro embellished the contact.

This is a contradictory statement.

It’s a dive.

It’s like in hockey when the ref calls penalties on both teams when one player is embellishing. It’s ridiculous.

 

[Brunkmeister]

I will probably die before a Liverpoolsupporter agrees with the ref on a decision against their team.

 

[John Price]

Liverpool are level!

 

[Savant]

Need another. Can’t draw games like this even in week one

 

[gary69]

So even luck is on the side of Salah and Nunez pair.

 

[hatterson]

TAA been caught standing still watching the ball several times in this half.

 

[Evilo]

This is a contradictory statement.

It’s a dive.

It’s like in hockey when the ref calls penalties on both teams when one player is embellishing. It’s ridiculous.

No it's not. Diving means no contact and no foul.
Embellishment mean contact and foul and selling it.

 

[Burner Account]

Fulham were good. Say what you want about either of the Fulham goals/decisions but Liverpool were generally poor in possession.

Felt like Mitrovic would have to be good for Fulham to get a result. He bullied Trent for one goal and bought the penalty as any smart attacker would.

 

[Prntscrn]

It's been a couple of seasons now and Trent's cockiness seems like something we will have to live with through out his career, a little typical for british "stars" I would say. It looks so f***ing nonchalant on the pitch

Anyway this was beyond horrific, makes me wonder if Liverpool possibly has trained a little too hard for too long during preseason maybe?

 

[Savant]

horrible for 2/3 of the game. Still hit the woodwork twice and could have won. Margin is so thin though. On to the next one. LFC would have had a better chance to win if they started Darwin instead of Bobby. Hoping Thiago is okay because LFC running out of bodies and no one is coming.

 

[JPBolts]

pleasantly surprised by Fulham. Palhinha will be quite a signing

 

[koyvoo]

 

[Savant]

Leeds v Wolves or Newcastle vs Forest next?
