Yes but they won't change the rules because that will just create confusion as to what constitutes intentional handball or not. There's been plenty of times in the past where a defensive team have been penalised for handball in the box even though it wasn't Intentional.

But yeah it's Liverpool so fuck em :D
I think you might have misunderstood me shady. IMO the rules should change so that ANY handball, intentional or unintentional, should be penalised. There’s no grey area, no room for interpretation and it’s applicable to everyone. If the ref sees ball to hand or hand to ball, he HAS to blow up for it, no confusion. There’ll be lots of whining about accidental handballs being “unfair,” but there’s lots of whining now anyway, so nothing changes except taking the decision about whether it was meant or not out of the ref’s hands, thereby removing the chances of a homer letting a deliberate one slide by having the excuse that he “interpreted” it as ball to hand.

If they did that players will just abuse it and intentionally aim for defender's hands to get a cheap pen.

I'm amazed by the WBA recovery, I thought they'd be down by the time they played us. If we win however, it's all over for them.

Can anyone remember the last time we beat a team to send them down? Birmingham and Charlton are two that spring to mind.

That Berba goal against Charlton is always worth a YouTube.

Why the fuck is Ederson going for that with both hands? Not a great deal of power in the free-kick, one outstretched hand saves that.

Creative refereeing there.

Both players offside but ignored even though it should have been right in line with the asst then a free kick given instead of a penalty.

I like Sterling, he’s a good little player who works hard, but he doesn’t half waste a lot of great situations

The whole teams seems to be dithering around the WHU area today. Even the second goal they were incredibly lucky to get, thought they'd wasted the chance.
