How on earth did VAR not send off at least one Liverpool player, could easily have been 3. Its all so dodgy, you can't tell me there's no bias when you see that compared to Felix's red.

Seeing Ryan Reynolds on BBC speaking to Shearer, Lineker is just do weird 😅.

I think he's brilliant though.

How Fabinho didn't get a red card for that is unbelievable. They've given him the credit of the doubt that it was unintentional when few others would get that benefit.

There’s no way a Chelsea player would of got away with that challenge.

It’s worse than the Felix challenge in the Fulham game, this player actually came off injured.

Fabinho knew straight away it was a bad one.

But the PGMOL are scared of Klopp so would rather go down the route of corruption than get slated publicly by him.

You know it will be forgotten by tonight because Brighton won in the end, but that’s missing the point completely and should be irrelevant.

Liverpool are in need of a rebuild just as much as we are. Especially their midfield - what a trainwreck that is. Their full backs need to be upgraded too and Van Dijk, soon to be 32, will only regress even further.

Thing is we've acted this transfer window and did it aggresively and took the market by storm. We've added some of the best young players in world football, but made to look like villans.

Now watch Liverpool buy Bellingham and 5-6 other players for 400M throughout the next two windows and be called geniuses and ruthless for rebuilding that fast and addressing their needs.

Don't know who the VAR was, but today's ref - Coote - was the one who sent off Felix at Fulham. He didn't need VAR's help that night.

He clearly refs all teams the same way.

I've never believed that there is a conspiracy against us, and that other teams are treated leniently, but today was so wrong it's bizarre

Adrian Durham just said one Liverpool player and possibly two should have been sent off.

How can the VAR not do their job instead of looking for ways to rule out goals,  punish obvious dangerous tackles. 

I hope they are called out on motd tonight.

 

Good to see Liverpool go out to an in-form Brighton.

Only a Liverpool or United player gets away with that. It's amazing how that these refs still get away with it even with the use of VAR.

I have always said that it's not so much a conspiracy against us, it's more that it's easy for refs to get away with giving bad decisions against us than it is the likes of Liverpool or United. Those two clubs have the biggest voices in the media and even had some of their own people work for the FA.

Make an incorrect call against Chelsea, Everton or Brighton, no worries, it will be forgotten about the next day, get a call wrong against Liverpool or United and you won't hear the end of it. The incident today with Fabinho will be forgotten about in two days, but you can bet that if the same thing happens to Rashford or Salah in the next game, the offending player won't get away with it, and if they do, it will be all over the media and there will even be some questioning the refs integrity.

Maybe. But the media went on about that Rashford offside incident, and scousers will say that were " victims" at Arsenal.

I really don't think refs and journalists have an agenda, social media will tell you that fans everywhere think they are victims of bias and that big clubs 

(Like us) get favourable decisions, just watch West Ham TV after our game.... Big conspiracy apparently.

But granted, today was a disgrace mate , .

i remember them saying theyve got great squad depth. I couldnt be happier seeing them struggle.

I think that is harsh. He's not exactly old and it's not like his managerial career has been a flop. I have seen many coaches do a much worse job of their career and still land many jobs after. 

Me too... but I think the next job he takes he needs to sort out the back first and work towards the front.

 

Wow

What happened to him? Did he have a fall out with Guardiola?

Ha! So as it turns out taking Cancelo out of my fantasy team for Dan Burn was not 'complete madness' but actually 'bizarrely prescient'.

Wow indeed.  What a player he is in the City system.  Huge loss. 

Just when I think PL is about to get exciting again, Everton hires Dyche.

From Ancelloti to Sean Dyche in a few years. That's a massive decline 😁😁😁

Brighton fan letter in the Argus today complaining about Linikers biased analysis after they thrashed Everton.

All because he used to play for Everton.and they only like big 6 teams on motd. Are we big 6 ?

they are so upset 

because this season is a write off it would be perfect to bring them in now so they can integrate for half a season 

Something must have gone on with Cancelo, because that seems like a crazy decision to allow him to leave. City just seem to be making themselves weaker and weaker this season, Arsenal will never have a better chance to win the league. 

Sterling, Jesus, Zinchenko, Cancelo. On their own, they may not all seem like players that would be a big loss, but collectively, it's big. Bernardo Silva wants out too but it looks like they will keep him unitl next season.
