Liverpool fans are the whiniest lot. They never disappoint.

On a positive note, probably the best 45 minutes I've ever seen Harry Winks play.

Liverpool are clearly a better side, but Spurs have done really well creating good chances to score.

Emerson on a yellow is very nerve-wracking.

Looking at the negative space where Salah/TAA haven’t done too much, you see a hell of a game from Sessengon.

As a third party observer I would suggest that Arsenal fans are definitely whinier on the whole, but Liverpool fans are far more defensive and sensitive to perceived slights.

No kidding. I know VVD and Henderson being out is a blow to LFC, but Spurs relying on Sessengon to man the side those two guys on, in their current form, is making me very nervous.

Yeah I am similarly surprised Liverpool have played so much down the Spurs right hand side, Sessegnon's handled Salah really well overall

Looked like a foul by Matip there live

This has got Origi back-breaking stoppage time goal written all over it.

TAA does have his hands on Dele's back but not enough force to warrant a foul.

Salah...IDK man. Doesn't look intentional and his hand is in a natural position, but its hard to not see that ball be nice and cushioned from hitting his hand.

My understanding is that incidental defensive handballs can be ignored under certain circumstances (distance, bounce, natural position, er ), but on the attack it doesn’t matter. Salah hit it, it shouldn’t be given.

Yeah that was a strange one but all of the handball/non handball calls have been strange this year

Alison had had a few WTF moments today.

The stage is set for Big Cock Divok.

Probably deserved but the fact that that was the only challenge to get a full on field review and LFC being the team down a man is insane

Reminding me of the 2-2 draw these two teams played a few years ago.

Kane's foul was more dangerous and reckless IMO.

Both reds or neither.

This Liverpool looks a lot like last year's side. Hard to play this style and maintain any control without the horses in midfield and VVD mopping up at the back.
