Hugo should never of headed it out for a throw in
you could be here all day going over things each player shouldn't have done leading up to the goal, but the fact is Salah should've been dealt with long before he shot past Hugo.

I think that first pen hurt us. We lost our rythm, and Liverpool got their energy up again. I'm positive they would never have gotten that second goal if we hadn't had that pen.

it was a pretty amazing piece of skill from Salah, TBF

Not denying that mate, he took his goal well but it was poor defending and poor from Lloris and I think it came because of us being nervous after missing the pen and fearing the worst, that’s the mentality problem people talk about.

I don't think so, he did the right thing in trying to come out and get something to the ball, Salah flicks it ahead of him. The only fault you can give to Hugo is maybe he should of been a bit quicker, but that is a very minor criticism, the main fault of that goal lies in the defense not holding him up effectively. It was a wonderful goal though.

What about the four defenders he dribbled around in little/no space?

The dribble was great skill, which we know Salah is capable of, actually thought Vertonghen (who was my MoTM) wasn't great for it either.

Hugo went down far too easily and seemed to lose his positioning, left the near post far too open by doing that. If he stays up, Salah has to go far post/across goal.

Kane going down the middle was a sure fire way of knowing he’s a striker off form. The fact that he went about the second one with more conviction is positive, hopefully he carries that through to get in amongst the goals again.
He may have got anysis from Toni that Karius has a tendency to go down early. Hard to know. Lineker score tonnes of those in his career, and only gets remembered for the one against Brazil that made him look daft.

At that exact moment in time they weren't playing well and we were losing. "At that moment in time they were legends". They are either legends or they aren't, it isn't like a headache or testicular itch that comes and goes..... I'm not sure it works like that. In fact I'm certain of it. But if those are your onions, then those are your onions :D

because we got a draw everyone thinks everything is ok, works both ways :)

He was almost blubbering with anger: the usual.
Exactly the reason why the managers aren't allowed to speak to the refs for 30 minutes after the match. Truly embarrassing (but RAWK will no doubt see it as
i. evidence of his passion and
ii confrirmation that the officials robbed LFC of their eagerly anticipated victory over the southern softies...)

It was a terrible goal to give away. Salah is class obviously but Vertonghen and Hugo were poor in their decision making. Davies gets beat too easily obviously, but Hugo actually makes the goal bigger for him by laying down on the floor
