--- Quote from: 13th Duke on January 11, 2011, 03:05:39 PM ---Gerrard's tackle was not a red card, it had no intent and wasn't dangerous. The sending off was, quite frankly, ludicrous, as was Cheik Tiote's sending off in the Newcastle/Stevenage game, which was actually one of the tackles of the season.
Also, I never said Liverpool created chances, I said they played well defensively and stopped 11 men of an almost unbeaten team at home scoring a single goal in open play against themselves, a team in tatters with awful form and average squad quality. That cannot be denied. They didnt create any other chances, no. But if we're all in agreement that the penalty wasn't a penalty, and that was the only goal...then you Man Utd fans can't exactly claim that it was a deserved victory can you?

The fact you said they played every inch as good as United tells me you think they attacked as well as United did. Fair enough on the last comment but we created far more chances than they did. Reina had to make about 5 saves in quick succession and we hit the post, On balance of play we deserved to win but that counts for shit.
The red card, the law is the law, that can't be done on the football pitch. I'm not being biased. As you can see, I agreed about the penalty.

You did create more chances, but Pepe Reina saving those chances kind of takes away any feeling of deserving of the win, because as you say, balance of play is nothing if you don't convert, which you didnt. It still took a bad penalty decision to win it. Not that Man Utd fans should care. A win is a win.
Liverpool are going from bad to worse, loss away to Blackpool as the tangerines do the double on them. It will take YEARS for Liverpool to be anywhere near where they were two seasons back. The team is a shell.

you really are an idiot if you think that was not a red card.

BREAKING NEWS: Everton fan in biased opinion against Liverpool SHOCKER!!!!!
Lil White Azz:
That tackle was nasty, red card in my opinion....BUT...if Webb would have given yellow, I would have understood that too...in game everything happens so fast, you have to make big decisions in big games....Webb decided to give a red card....
Digital Pimpin':
Tevez was the difference for Man City yesterday. We nearly pulled off a comeback but oh well.
btw, that Gerrard tackle is something top players normally get away with a yellow card at most (Scholes lol). Two footed, off the ground tackles when playing for Stoke, Wolves, Blackburn etc will get you sent off no doubt.
