@FootbalIhub What about the one in first half on Gapko grime said it was to late to give as he already played the ball
But last week it was a penalty against us in similar thing caught after ball played
Why isn't that a penalty to Liverpool for the challenge on Gakpo? Challenges made after the ball is gone are fouls no? That's what happened to us last week?
Less than a week later, Gakpo is cleaned out in the penalty area after playing a pass - absolutely nothing. Way more contact than Alisson on Williams.
Consistently inconsistent.
🚨Paul Scholes on the controversial penalty involving Cody Gakpo in Liverpool vs Ipswich:
🗣️ Paul Scholes: “For me, it’s a penalty.
Gakpo has played the ball, and then he gets caught by the defender. Now, people will say the ball has already gone, but that shouldn’t automatically mean there’s no foul.
We’ve seen these given before. If you make contact with an attacker inside the box after he’s played the ball, you still have to ask whether that contact was enough to bring him down.
I think it was.
The frustrating thing is the inconsistency. Players and managers don’t know what standard they’re going to get from one week to the next.
If that contact happens anywhere else on the pitch, the referee probably gives a foul.
For me, Gakpo was taken out inside the box. Liverpool had every right to expect a penalty.
You can call it soft if you want, but I’d give it.”
🚨 Roy Keane on Gakpo not being awarded a penalty against Ipswich:
🗣️ Keane: “I must’ve missed something during the week because I was told last weekend that this was a penalty.
When Alisson made contact with Williams after he’d already taken his shot, I said it wasn’t a penalty. The argument afterwards was, ‘It doesn’t matter that the ball is gone. There’s still contact.’
Fine. I disagreed with it, but at least that’s the explanation.
Now look at Gakpo. He releases the pass, though it gets intercepted, but the defender comes across and takes him out. The attacking move is already gone. Then there’s contact.
So where’s the penalty?
Whether Gakpo’s pass was intercepted doesn’t matter. Williams had already wasted his chance last week as well. If contact after the attacking action was enough to punish Alisson, why isn’t it enough here?
That’s what drives players and managers mad. I don’t even need them to agree with me anymore. Just agree with themselves.
Last week I said Williams had already completed what he wanted to do and people told me I was wrong.
Okay. Then give Liverpool the penalty today.
You can’t have both.”
Im pretty OK with VAR largely, but today's Liverpool penalty just isn't one. It never is. Never reward a player for taking a bad shot....especially if you arent going to reward a player for getting kicked in the chest..in the box.
Just a reminder that this wasn’t a penalty, or a yellow, or a red, just a destroyed ACL for Virgil by Pickford.
I hate the standard of refereeing in the PL.
So Michael Oliver, who was on VAR duty in today's match...who happened to be the ref in this match, didn't give this as a pen.
10000% times worse than what Alisson did.
Remember, there's grown adults that still say LiVARpool...grown adults.
🖥️💥 El VAR pasa del reglamento en el Liverpool - Nottingham Forest.
👉🏻 Neco Williams remata y, tras ello, se produce un contacto muy leve con la mano de Alisson.
❌ 𝗡𝗢 𝗘𝗦 𝗣𝗘𝗡𝗔𝗟𝗧𝗜.
▪️Incomprensible la no intervención del VAR al ser una acción claramente residual.
The ball was already chipped over the goalkeeper, so how did the referee still find a reason to give a penalty?
Another season, and nothing has changed.😭
