ECHO Comment: "Fears of Witch-hunt Against Liverpool FC"

[Badge1878]

It was a penalty. All day long. Usual lack of humility from the players and management of a team who feel it is their divine right to receive favourable calls in big games. Just because it was our first penalty there in 60 years says more about the media circus that surrounds them than the decision itself. It was a foul inside the box. Penalty.

Have a look at how Milner stands on the spot before the pen is taken, how they surround Pawson in disbelief a foul against our player in their box is given as a penalty. Just seen Klopp try to say it wasn't a pen because they had attacked more.

They don't get why everyone hates them - sometimes the other team get a decision too - hope they take their complaint to UEFA.

 

[Yarrgh]

To be honest my only complaint about the penalty is that the ref didn't card Lovren for his OTT reaction to the penalty.

But finally video evidence of a koppite head falling off. Marvellous stuff.

 

[Boba Fret]

It was a penalty albeit a soft one.

They've taken to twitter tonight to have a go at Patrick Davison the sky interview guy for "goading" herr klopp. It is truly marvellous reading lol

 

[goodisonopheliac]

Please. Klopp was being petulant. If it had been Mourinho in Klopp's place, they'd be laughing at him.

 

[Toffe3m4n]

I am 100% convinced that had that been any other team we were playing today their fans would've, by and large, accepted that it was a penno and rightly pointed the finger at their manager for their shortcoming.

They are truly a breed apart.

If anything the interviewer was too meek. Das Fuhrer was just being a hateful divvy.

If anything the interviewer was too meek. Das Fuhrer was just being a spectacularly hateful divvy.

Improved that for ya

The thing is I'd actually love it if it wasn't a penalty but it just clearly was one.

Also even if it wasn't it it'd only even up the Salah push on Martina being overlooked.

Close up of Klopp in that interview

 

[Merseyzig]

Just saw this in the Guardian match report:

"The guy in the Everton jacket, are you happy about your game?” asked the Liverpool manager as he disputed Craig Pawson’s decision to penalise Dejan Lovren for a slight push on Dominic Calvert-Lewin. The guy in the Everton jacket said he was happy with the point. Klopp, bizarrely, replied: “That’s what my mother said when I came from school.”

Murphy on Klopp.... shots fired...

I don't even understand what he's trying to say?

 

[dublinbluenose]

The end of the beginning or the beginning of the end. A busted flush. They are so far behind city they are as irrelevant as the other 19 teams.

 

[Toffe3m4n]

No one did. The journos just laughed as if to say 'wtf is he on about?'

The absolute best part though was when he asked for a show of hands in the room whether it was a pen or not. Three people put their hands up and he initially buzzed off it before everyone else piped up saying that it was and he was like '..oh'. He's had an absolute mare today.
