Didnt watch the game, but having seen the highlights now on motd2

1 not a pen for me
2 many in the thread were saying citeh didnt do much but it looked like we rode our luck a good few times.

Seemed a fortunate, but massive win
It might have made it look like that but it wasn't like that.

Professional footballers dont half talk some rubbish. It was clear handball.

1) Sterling ran towards the ball with his back to the ball and his arm out wide.

2) The ball hit his arm.

Doesnt do himself any favours turning his back. Should know better.

BBC commentator expresses surprise that Klopp wasn't celebrating. That's because he's just had an appendicectomy.

Really? Other than the eriksen shot from range and a late effort from kane i dont recall any other shots being cited in this thread apart from the goals.

There was plenty of pessimism and 'phews' to go with the 'we deserve this, were bossing this' group.

Guess i expected to see a bit more of an even set of highlights unless our 'dominance' was passing the ball sideways a lot.

Justvan observation, obvs delighted with the result however it came

Yeah, I think we where very lucky with that. I just hope (IF) we win the league it doesn't become a thing that will always be remembered and referenced.

Never a penalty. Super glad that we got the decision, but if you swapped the sides then I'd be fuming if that was given against us.

Agree. I could understand if it wasn't given, but I don't see the controversy at all because he does flap his arm out when jumping to block a ball and it hits it.

The fucking idiots commentating (Quinn and Tyler I think) were saying that's not handball it hit the underneath of his arm ? Like the underneath isn't part of his fucking arm ?

Couple of points, Lloris was huge today in particular getting a hand to Aguero's chip in the dying minutes, and Dier who made the third most tackles and third most passes in the game. For me he was my man of the match.

For those berating Eriksen, well if Poch puts him on the team sheet then thats fucking good enough for me.

Finally am i right in saying that another eighteen points will see us qualify for a CL place?

City definitely had more goal-scoring chances without a doubt. We were threatening plenty of times in their half but were lacking the final ball. Probably the draw would've been the fair result.

No way was it a penalty or an intentional hand ball. But screw them, we have had decisions go against us against city before. Ultimately they didnt have all that many clear cut chances. We hogged much of the possession and looked like the home side against a team that has spent a lot more money then us!

I thought it was a ridiculous call at first, but the replay shows he jumps and actually extends his arm out in the direction of the ball.

Could have gone either way
