Liverpool Verdict Thread

[maws]

My lads a centre half and plays an ok standard. If he let that ball just sail over his head I know he would be subbed!!

 

[Nige100]

Toti doesent have to play the ball at all if Salah isn’t there. It’s exactly the reason he tries to cut it out.

 

[Wall heath Wanderer]

So it doesn't matter if the ball travels backwards, just the attackers position relative to defenders when the ball is played.
So to my, most likely wrong, thinking, next time we defend a freekick just put all the outfield players on the halfway line.

 

[Shergar]

Errrr absurd?? Hardly ... I've played the game , and as a central defender.
It's called vision and awareness , as the last defender he obviously knew that sala was behind him and we'll offside , and he obviously has the awareness of the rules of the game that if he heads it to sala , then he plays sala onside ...so therefore , with the backup of the linesman standing a few feet away, AND var ,,he ducks under it, then sala is offside and can't play the ball .

I think the we have all made the mistake in thinking Waveney is out Norfolk way when in fact Waveney is another planet.

 

[Black Coffee]

Really played well Julen has worked wonders with the group already it was surprising how good we were especially after seeing the team sheet .

Hodge and Lembikisa were really good especially Hodge he covered a lot of ground and was tidy on the ball. Collins was MOTM barring his wayward pass for the first goal he was brilliant. I know some thought Toti played really well but I'm not one if them he looks a liability and clumsy can't fault his effort but isn't good enough.

The subs again made an impact and I gotta say Hwang is starting to look like the player who came here in the summer of 2021 he seems rejuvenated and confident ATM hopefully it continues.

I would like to describe him in another term but @Mutchy would probably ban me again! What I will say is that @waveney wolf is living in a parallel dimension.

Loved the pace and intensity of our play last night, Shows what we can do without mouthinio who although a great player in my opinion just doesn't have the legs for this type of play anymore.

We did it at Villa with Moutinho on Wednesday night

I’m still fuming. I don’t know how to post tweets but there’s a video of the linesman walking off to the halfway line without flagging, presumably thought it was a goal, and the ref kind of gestures to him… he goes back and flags.

Apologies if it’s been posted already but can anybody find and post it please? My technological skills are somewhat limited.

Yes a disgrace

 

[lobodelsur]

Superb peformance by the entire squad.
Lopetegui is a really brave coach. At 1-2 down most coaches would have subbed one, or at most 2, strikers and replaced them.
J-Lo did not only that but removed his defensive midfielder (who had been protecting a fairly inexperienced back 4), brought on Nunes and asked him to carry the ball through Liverpool's famous 'press'. That takes real balls.

 

[Sketchead]

Emotion of the decisions aside - I thought we'd get absolutely tonked when I saw the lineups. However...

I thought everybody can be really proud of themselves. Lembikisa was really good, it was all set for Gakpo to shine on an 'easy' debut but he was nowhere near it. Collins defensively was absolutely monstrous - that bad ball to an opponent across the pitch on the half way line doesn't get punished like that 9 times out of 10, felt sorry for him.

Neves was absolutely majestic, Hodge's tenacity and interceptions superb, Adama and RAN very dangerous and effort put in cannot be questioned at all. Raul's movement and work rate, plus speed when dribbling with the ball was all good and we've missed him. His final ball wasn't there when needed but he's barely played for months.

Subs all good too. Only people I felt looked below the level required was Toti and Jonny, but they both did OK. I'd say the same for the keeper but that's based on his work with the ball - he barely had a save to make.

Considering we made nine changes, went away to Anfield and played a full-strength Liverpool and come away absolutely disgusted that we haven't won speaks volumes.

A bit sloppy at times, but the effort we put in and the amount of concern we caused the opposition was a joy to watch.

If we're not knackered by then, would fancy us to do them in the replay if the atmosphere at Molineux is as feral as I think it might be.

Julen turning up and giving it the Mike Bassett 'we will play four-four-****ing-two' and going for it was lovely to watch. He is a ballsy coach.

Yep on 6:33 in these highlights:

The ref is telling the linesman to raise his flag. The ****ing cheating ****! If this is not investigated then we might as well give up. Wolves FC have got to do something here.

 

[Krispy Kreme]

If Robertson takes that throw from where he should Collins doesn't make that mistake.

That’s absolutely ****ing terrible. He even ****ing gestures to the linesman to stick his flag up. Nah, that’s awful, we can’t be standing for that. It’s just cheating. Surely if enough noise is made this gets properly looked into?

This is where you'd expect the media to get involved. However, they're as corrupt as the officials. It's up to the club to escalate this, in my view.

Media ...corrupt... seriously?!
Accept the decision and move on

 

[Incognito]

How do you know that?

I don't know for sure, of course. The ref doesn't have Tourette's. He is motioning in the direction of the linesman. The flag was raised extremely late.

Wrong again yawwwnnnn

Exactly this. The club need to take all the videos and photos at their disposal and use them to kick up a massive fuss. The media will have to pick it up if the club came out and called the ref corrupt… what could happen seriously, a fine? Oooooh.

So it doesn't matter if the ball travels backwards, just the attackers position relative to defenders when the ball is played.

Yeah you can do that ...then it becomes a foot race to the ball with just the goalie to beat...not the best defending

Sorry , I thought this was a verdict thread .....the clue is in the title

 

[Beijing Wolf]

The Daily Mail with a good old fashioned bit of Gaslighting.

In the headline David Carruthers says that the official was RIGHT (in big letters), without presenting a shred of evidence in the article. Big Club bias yet again!

Officials made RIGHT call disallowing Wolves third goal vs Liverpool

Chaos erupted as the Wolves defender back heeled the ball into the net following a scramble inside the penalty area, but the match officials quickly ruled his goal out for an offside.

Don’t get much more red than Robbie Fowler.

Can only pray this is the catalyst for change.

 

[Gasman]

Such a shame they didn't have a camera in the exact same spot that they had one against Leicester

I wonder if they do and Liverpool manipulated the footage

 

[SuperGran]

I see Liverpool fans are planning their 4th round trip to Brighton already

Good luck to them. They deserve it. Can’t believe they’re not through already. Our first goal should have been disallowed for being unsporting.

 

[Wall heath Wanderer]

Surely it forces the opposition to shoot, or keep all their players except the free kick taker in their own half, as has been shown last night even playing the ball backwards would mean an offside.

 

[Oh When the Wolves]

Can we disable all VAR cameras at molineux moving forward?

No. All you have to do as an attacking team is keep players behind the free kick taker.

 

[Wall heath Wanderer]

No. All you have to do as an attacking team is keep players behind the free kick taker.

Do the laws not say that you can still be offside if beyond the second last defender?
Having everyone on the halfway line means that any attacker would be offside if so.

 

[Fenrir_]

They'd find some live stream from a vlogger in the away end that they'd use to make the decision

Not if you're behind the ball when it's played.

Imagine how it would go down in history if Liverpool went on to win the cup?
