If you give him enough chances the law of averages is eventually going to apply...
Kane should be watching the NLD from the stands on a two-game suspension for a dive that was awarded a penalty.
Despite the fact that he was offside, kicked the ball away, didnt score and the contact was questionable in the first place.
Both penalties needed both the referee and linesman to discuss them in committee so its impossible to say either were no-brainer, clear-cut decisions.
The first one the refs lost it. No idea what was going on there. Offside, minimal (if any) contact, Kane had kicked the ball away and was already in the air looking for the penalty.
The second one? Theres contact, theres a foul. But similarly to hand-balls in the box Lamela backed into VVD, had no possession of the ball, had no position and had no scoring chance and VVD was simply following through on the natural motion of a clearance. So...penalty.
Ref thought no. Linesman thought yes.
The Egyptian can at least stay on his feet and fight for his goals.
Either way, it was a tale of two halves but Liverpool drop points once again to just terrible officiating.
On the bright side though, who were these guys? Lovren taking command of his box? Karius out making saves and ordering his CBs around?
And once again, when does the tide of the game turn? When you remove Henderson and your CM pairing is Wijnaldum and Can. Because they dont move play forward or own their space.
