Really fun game to watch. Kane should have been off , Robbo? Maybe . Should have been a PEN on Jota. Allison was brilliant (and awful). Spurs missed a couple of sitters.
Certainly wasn’t dull.

Livid & Lucky are just the words I was looking for. Liverpool have let a lot of slip through their fingers this season. I don’t see a title challenge unless City hit the skids.At once livid and lucky to come away with a point
The current rules are that VAR will only reverse a goal on unintentional handball by the goal scoring player. So it would only have been proper to reverse that decision if it was determined that Salah intentionally handled the ball and I'm not sure you could really come to that conclusion.Kane early red and Jota pen make it a different match altogether - but so does Son finishing his early chance or Kane finishing one of his myriad opportunities.
Hot take: Tierney + VAR got nearly everything spot on in the second half, aside from Salah handling the ball before Robertson's goal; just makes the contrast of the first half that much more exasperating

Hard to judge when missing their starting midfield and VVD.Livid & Lucky are just the words I was looking for. Liverpool have let a lot of slip through their fingers this season. I don’t see a title challenge unless City hit the skids.
City had a tough early schedule but are playing a soft underbelly right now. Title race is properly on imo absent injury/Covid. Citys transfer approach of buying dozens of 50-60 million pound players really gives an edge in these weird ass Covid timesLivid & Lucky are just the words I was looking for.

with these Liverpool and Chelsea hiccups, I think this is where City runs away with the league....although the league might become a distraction to winning UCLCity had a tough early schedule but are playing a soft underbelly right now.

NBC Sports love showing his full post-match comments, while showing only clips of everyone else. They could do better replaying Sean Dyche's full comments thoughKlopp needs to just shut up post match. All of his irritating comments come right after the match. He’s not necessarily wrong but whines so damn much
Ah, true - overlooked that there is that distinction between 'sequences of play' around unintentional handball. So the match officials hit the nail on the head in the second halfThe current rules are that VAR will only reverse a goal on unintentional handball by the goal scoring player. So it would only have been proper to reverse that decision if it was determined that Salah intentionally handled the ball and I'm not sure you could really come to that conclusion.
The TV guys disagreed with you. They liked his game and effort today.Dele Ali did not help his Jan loan value today
Earle + Howard or the match commentators (Drury/Townsend)?The TV guys disagreed with you. They liked his game and effort today.
Not sure why the FA wouldn't allow more U23/Academy/B-team call ups for these COVID seasons. There should be a larger number of players registered for each team.It sounds like the current thinking in the PL is to postpone all of the matchweek 20 fixtures (Dec 28/29/30) but keep going with everything else. This wouldn't be a Covid break at all. They want to power through the Omicron wave but are concerned that the toll of the festive period with squads being depleted by Covid will be too much.
Every club already has a huge number of u21 players registered in addition to the normal 25 man roster (Arsenal have 63) so I don’t think that is an issue.Not sure why the FA wouldn't allow more U23/Academy/B-team call ups for these COVID seasons.

Match commentators. When he was replaced they had good things to say.Earle + Howard or the match commentators (Drury/Townsend)?
I'm not arguing the call, but this is funny:The current rules are that VAR will only reverse a goal on unintentional handball by the goal scoring player. So it would only have been proper to reverse that decision if it was determined that Salah intentionally handled the ball and I'm not sure you could really come to that conclusion.
They rejected this idea today apparently.It sounds like the current thinking in the PL is to postpone all of the matchweek 20 fixtures (Dec 28/29/30) but keep going with everything else. This wouldn't be a Covid break at all. They want to power through the Omicron wave but are concerned that the toll of the festive period with squads being depleted by Covid will be too much.
