If you had told me at the start of the day the reds would be up 5-2, I would have taken it in a heart beat.

However, it does feel like just a bit of a let down.

In any case, you have to like the odds to advance.

I liked 5-0 better, but 5-2 isn't bad either. They'll have to push hard in leg 2 and I think we can get another goal or two.
That's what Barca thought as well

It's nice of them to give us that cautionary tale. I'm sure Klopp and the boys are aware.

Don't cut your team short. I have 100% faith in their bottling services.

Watched the replay tonight. Shame they took their foot off the gas. But on a positive note my wife said as we were watching the game, " I don't care what they cost, we're going to the game at Chelsea. "

So I guess I need to buy some tickets. Maybe MO will set the record that weekend?

I'll eat crow if they get clobbered next game but there's no way they don't make the final. The offense is too potent right now.

And that shot by Mo....ho lee chit

We're one of the best counter attacking sides in the world, and we're going to play a team that's hell bent on throwing everything at us.

I like our chances to grab one in the return leg.

Ox out for remainder of season and missing WC for England. Sucks so bad especially given his form lately.

Just read that - ligament damage. Gutted for him: he has had some awful luck with injuries and WCs.

Man, that's awful. Hate that it has a WC impact.

Looked like hammered dog **** today ( to borrow a euphemism from an old coaching buddy).

On a happy note, this happened today. Quality is fantastic considering the Chinese-ness of the selling shop on eBay.

Your GD will probably make it a moot point but you guys sure are trying hard to blow top 4.

Well, you see, there's this other tournament we're in right now too...


Seriously though, dropping four points these last two weekends makes for some unenjoyable watching.

This is actually a big deal. Bobby Bright Teeth has been huge for us this year.

This is a huge deal for sure and he's worth every penny and more....Salah is going to get upped this year too.

What's going on around here?!?!? He clearly threw a punch at one of the players on the field but missed badly.

Is there a video that shows the incident? The still images look bad, but it's hard to tell what was going on.

Also, I just wanted to say that I thought Klopp walking out to the officials but then refusing to shake one of their hands post-game was childish. They missed an obvious PK call and I get why he was frustrated (the team played like dog crap, missed calls regardless) but don't sink to that level of pettiness.

"Strikes or attempts to strike". You don't have to connect. That's one way to be rested for the UCL finals.

Do they review game tape of every match to find incidents like this?

Yes. If the CR says he saw it but thought it wasn't an offense they won't do anything. If he doesn't report it the FA will go back and decide. 3 man panel.

Interesting. I'd still like to actually see video of the incident - like I said, the still images look bad, but it's hard to tell what's going on from a couple of screenshots.

Also, I like how to major implication mentioned in the article is OHNOES! HARRY KANE MIGHT TAKE THE LEAD BACK IN THE RACE FOR THE GOLDEN BOOT!!! Not to mention we're trying to hold on to a freakin' top four spot!

Best I could find. Looks like a whiffed punch to me. His intentions may have been to clear off the defender pulling his jersey, but he went high with a hand towards the head.



That said, they didn't suspend an opposing player for punching Ings while he was on the ground a week or so ago, so who knows if the FA will actually address it.
Mathguy64

Thats a punch. I cant imagine the FA panel would see anything other than VC there. IT takes a unanimous verdict to charge him. Maybe he will get lucky and one guy will say he was just pushing off after the shirt pull.

FA isn't taking action. Honestly...kinda looks like a "get off me" move.

That said, I firmly believe reputation plays a factor in this stuff. Everyone loves Salah. If that was Rooney, he'd probably be banned.
jeffk
How long do you want to ignore this user?

Oh, most definitely. All sports treat their stars and "good guys" preferentially when it comes to this sort of thing.

If he picks up a ban, I won't be protesting it in the least, but I'd actually be surprised if they have the stones to ban him.

I don't have a link but on Twitter BBC claimed FA had already decided no further action.
